Jurassic World: All the meaty ingredients for a summer blockbuster
Over twenty years later, the Hollywood dino franchise is back with a fourth film, Jurassic World, that ignores numbers two and three and attempts to recapture the magic that made the first an industry-changing, blockbuster ride. And it mostly succeeds. Whether dinosaurs can still interest the public twenty years later is, …

Re: To quote from Mock the Week...
They should work in another gag where their liability insurance holder is AIG, the once-worlds-largest-insurer that blew up in the financial crisis because it insured all those collateralized debt obligations that were based on crap-quality mortgages.
Then again, the reference might be a bit dated though.

Haha! The 'handsome hunk' character, played by Joel McHale, in Park and Recs' sister show Community spent an episode in mock-bitterness at Chris Pratt's success with Guardians of the Galaxy:
"Chris Pratt is always out there, mocking me with his muscles and success!"

Re: I'm more interested
I've seen the "Spectre" trailer, and like Jurassic World there is a serious zoological/biological credibility issue--no white persian cat!!!
How can you have SPECTRE as the bad guy without the proper feline accoutrement? (Sigh) Another piece of my childhood chipped away. Thanks a lot, MGM!!

Re: Wot!
But the "indian" owner has a British-Indian accent so it got past the censor.
When you know the dino's are coming, you can't do the suspense trick (water glass shaking), but if you can watch it in D-Box seats that shake with the action - dino footsteps work well in that case, as do the first person shooter scenes.

Jurassic Clone, the Search for More Money
While we're warming over the Same Old Story again, why not rehash one they haven't rehashed in this series yet? The old J-Park facilities are raided for dinos to turn into bio-weapons. Which of course escape and start killing people, you know how it goes. You might get more cheers if congresspeople were being menaced instead of kids.
I loved dinos back when they were uncool and misunderstood. Now that we know what amazing animals they were, it's a shame to see them jammed into the same mold as every other movie villain. They act in human ways, with human goals and motivations, always focused on KILLING THE HUMANS. Yawn...

"Both Pratt and Howard are instantly likeable"
Not...Pratt plays the same role in every film I've seen him in, and Howard is cold and aloof and not at all likeable, At least Vincent D'Onofrio plays a great, if small, part as the baddie.
It killed a two hours on a rainy Sunday afternoon but I won't be going back to see it again, unlike the first one which had a proper storyline and characters you cared about. Honestly I would have laughed if the young kid had got eaten, he was such an annoying whinging brat (so well played if that's what the director was aiming for). At £6 for an adult 3D ticket at Odeon at least it wasn't too costly, glad I didn't fork out £16 for the IMAX version.
