Jurassic World

We kicked off the month with Jurassic World, and….eh. It’s one of those movies that is entertaining enough when you’re watching it, but more or less immediately after it was over we started picking the world-building apart, which I think is always a bad sign. Any theme park is going to make “keep the guests safe” its first priority, even if that

May I present ... Jurassic Park, the High Heels edition! I haven't actually seen Jurassic World but I laughed at a lot at this. Some of these people look surprisingly good in high heels ...

Yeah, everything you have said about Jurassic World is why I just don't think I can watch it. I think it's all the things that I don't care about in movies and nothing that I liked in the first one ...

IAN MALCOLM'S HIGH HEELED BOOTS. Dying over here, those are so perfect, totally vote for him to wear them forever and ever.

I think Jurassic World is a classic example of a sequel misunderstanding what made the original great. Yes, we all enjoyed the dinosaur fights, but they wouldn't have been nearly as meaningful and scary without all the build-up of the characters beforehand or the attention to making the dinosaurs feel like real animals rather than human-murdering machines.
