Jurassic World ‘Dinosteriously’ Bad
By Raphaela Carvalho
This fiftth version of the saga rose to new heights in chaos. Obviously there is no reason to continue the saga of genetically engineered dinosaurs, except that people keep flocking to the theater to see the same basic plot. If it ainât broke, why tinker with the 1.6 billion dollars the franchise has generated?
When the first âJurassic Parkâ movie (based on a novel by Michael Crichton) opened in 1993, it was both a parable and an example of extravagant human ambition. One well-intentioned, misguided visionary (Richard Attenborough) used genetic engineering to revive a long-extinct species. Another (Steven Spielberg) used special effects to the same end. The results were a little ridiculous, but also scary, thrilling and intermittently thought-provoking.
To give you a quick primer on the saga, the âDinosaur Protection Groupâ is  lobbying for the safety of the dinos left on Isla Nublar. A volcano is about to erupt on the island. Some of these dinos have to be saved for posterity. You can guess how humans going back to ânegotiateâ with the dinosaurs works out. Yep, spoiler alert, not well. The only nice dino is âBlueâ, who is able to communicate with her handler (Chris Pratt). He plays Owen Grady, the protagonist in this version. Do not fretâJeff Goldblum shows up in the movie as well.
Should you want to entertain your kids and get them out of the house this is a great outlet. It is way too hot and humid to go to the park. For your sanity, this could be a good option to keep them occupied for an afternoon.
