Jurassic World
SCORE: 58
As I continue to work through my pile I came across Jurassic World on DVD. The Jurassic movies are part horror which is why many families avoid watching them. Then there is the issue of man playing God by bringing back extinct animals. Jurassic World goes a step further and applies gene splicing. Where different dinosaurs are merged together to make even more lethal ones. Hubris of such concepts are bound to backfire.
There are some cool visual effects in Jurassic World. I find it interesting that Raptors are made into obedient lap dogs for humans. In essence they are like trained wolves. Which goes against previous movies. There are other inconsistencies in Jurassic World. Indominus Rex is supposedly part Raptor. But it eats its own sibling instead of being social like the other Raptors. Later the Indominus Rex because social with Raptors. Plenty of plot convenient moments in this movie that takes two hours and five minutes to watch.
The issues families will have with Jurassic World is bad language, violence, blood, gore, religious teachings of evolution, Old Earth theory, promotes divorce, and more. There are plenty of moments of peril in Jurassic World. I felt bad for the kids trying to escape. Although I expected they would survive whereas so many others would get killed off. Human life is shown as really cheap in Jurassic World. The animals are allowed to do whatever they want.
There are different personalities in Jurassic World. Work obsessed people, people who like to have fun, people that like to help others, wise people, and more. I enjoyed seeing how the different personalities interacted in this scary film. The storyline in Jurassic World is a tad too predictable. It is like the people in the Jurassic movie franchise never learn from their past mistakes. They keep making the same mistake over and over again. We can learn from Jurassic World to obey God and follow the right path.
