Jurassic Park (1993) is to Disneyland as Jurassic World is to Disney World - bigger and better. Mankind has gotten desensitized with the usual dino fanfare and want more. Advancements in gene splicing has led to the creation of the Indominus Rex, the first genetically-modified hybrid, hoping to boost attendance and shut mankind's piehole for a while. In a shocking twist, the dinosaurs escape and run amok and it's up to raptor wrangler Owen Grady to save the day.
I was not a huge fan of The Lost World or Jurassic Park III, so exceptions were low for the latest installment. While it was part rehash of Jurassic Park and part sequel to Deep Blue Sea, I quite enjoyed the film, particularly the Pterosaurs escaping the aviary and wreaking havoc. Jurassic World fulfilled it's duty as a summer popcorn movie, even if it had become a fallen kingdom.
