Jurassic World

[Danish]

Just got out of this tonight, I gotta say it was just a whole lotta big dumb fun.

My perfect ending would've been that scene with the Rex & Raptor facing each other, then both jumping up for a high 5 with their little arms.... aaaaand FREEZE FRAME!!! with power pop anthem "You're the best around, nothings ever gonna get you down!" to roll credits.

Also I saw that Terminator spoilery trailer, just like the last movie, a potentially awesome reveal moment gone begging, such a shame these instant gratification times we live in.

That was my biggest disappointment from seeing Jurassic World really. Completely ruined the new Terminator movie for me.

The massive spoiler in the trailer would have been a freaking awesome if it was sprung on you while actually watching the movie. now the first however many minutes they waste with Sarah and John being a team are going to be completely pointless.

They did the same thing with Terminator Salvation. I avoid movie trailers like the plague these days because they invariably give away the entire movie.

It was what I expected, pretty light weight.

I actually was thinking a lot about that Itchy and Scratchy Land episode of The Simpsons throughout the movie, and trying to crowbar references in it, like needing more Boort licence plates when the shit went down in the control centre.

The velociraptor and tyrannosaurus needed to high-five eachother at the end. There was a moment there...

I enjoyed the movie, but I rate it the least out of the four Jurassic Park movies, marginally below my previously least-preferred JP#2.
The CGI was at times obvious, but I at the time put that down to the fact I saw it in 2D (I'm not really a fan of '3D' films) and I'm pretty sure it would have been filmed with 3D firmly in mind. I also think that one of the downfalls in suspense and terror levels -for me anyway- was that this was pretty much all happening in daytime. Look at the previous three JP films, and you'll see that they mostly happen in the dark (or heavy fog in JP#3). It's what you can't see that's generally more scarier than what you can see in plain sight.

I will have to watch it a couple more times to really get a clearer opinion of it. I was really disappointed with JP#2 when I first saw it (the whole 'dinosaur getting loose in the city' was too stupid for mine ... and still kinda is), but the more I see it, the more I appreciate it for the bush / jungle scenes and can almost overlook the city scenes. JP#3 I've loved since day 1, and still do ... but for mine, you can't beat the original.

It's worse than Star Wars: Episode I. I didn't think that would be ever possible.
