Jurassic
World (2015) – C. Trevorrow
Implausible. Ha, ha.
Of course, that could stand as a review of the very first Jurassic Park
film in 1993 too; however, the new third sequel contains many more absurdities. But, hey, I hear you saying that “plot” isn’t
why one watches this kind of film and you are right – it is all about the
monsters. I have never been a big fan of
CGI but I’ll admit that as the years go by the technology gets slicker. So, there are many “life-like” dinosaurs
here, large and small, and they move realistically and kill and eat a lot of
people (sometimes less than realistically).
Spielberg was executive producer but he handed the directing reins to
relative newcomer Colin Trevorrow. He
doesn’t exactly make a hash of it but, as I said, the plot, as well as the
characters and the script, are wafer-thin.
Any intended moral commentary about genetic engineering and the military
is pretty ham-fisted. Nevertheless, this was probably rip-roaring in the
theatre (and in 3D?) but at home the inadequacies are more obvious. Still, it doesn’t lose your attention and as
an example of the latest whiz-bang graphics, it’s fine, if a bit gruesome.
