Set 22 years after the events of the original Jurassic Park, the story revolves around a fully functional dinosaur theme park called Jurassic World, located on Isla Nublar. To boost declining visitor numbers, the park’s scientists create a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex. However, the Indominus escapes containment, leading to chaos and a deadly rampage across the park. The film follows the park’s operations manager, Claire Dearing, and a Velociraptor trainer, Owen Grady, as they try to stop the creature and save the visitors.

This movie came out during the golden age of movies before “woke” was a thing. Zero diversity casting, strong male lead who has to save the kids and woman, and not a single line in the movie Id consider “woke”.
I saw this when it first came out in theatres back in 2015; I was in my mid twenties and for various reasons wasn’t terribly impressed. However, watching it now, I realize how *well* this movie has aged. It’s really the best film after the original Jurassic Park. The acting is phenomenal and the special effects still look impressive. Chris Pratt plays a protective and no nonsense manly man and Bryce Dallas Howard is charming and at least passably feminine as the conflicted, but ultimately praiseworthy, heroine. The two young actors who play the brothers are phenomenal and have great chemistry. The film’s logic, especially in the middle, is a bit off, and the flying reptile attack scene felt overdrawn, but the first and final acts of the movie are phenomenal. Would highly recommend for lovers of the franchise, as well as lovers of thrillers and dinosaur movies.
Probably good for ages 14 and up. No sex scenes, but there is some innuendo with the Dallas Howard character tying her garment tightly around herself and the flirtations between herself and Pratt’s character.
