Jurassic World

An excellent tribute to the first film, from the opening panorama, through the helicopter arrival, to references to the eccentric millionaire. Fortunately, Jurassic World doesn't steal, but rather duplicates the functioning and adds design thanks to a twenty-year evolution in technology, making the dinosaur action even more intense and dense, with an excellently depicted and well thought-out park. The acting also works great, and although it may not be as confident and iconic as Spielberg's film, it is at least a decent beta that won't offend either the wallet or the brain of the viewer.

I like how the entire Jurassic World is referring to the good old Jurassic Park. It’s not hiding the reference and it’s not attempting to be just another embarrassing remake. On the contrary, it expands the entire dinosaur world and that’s actually quite a good thing. And even though the main plotline is about an over-grown and mutated dinosaur, which actually isn’t too great a premise to build a movie on, it still watches pretty well. The authors did a great job in terms of casting. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are exactly the reason why I really enjoyed the movie. Chris Pratt plays his standard cool dude who looks like he just crawled out of the jungle and who can communicate with every mammal on the planet, and Bryce Dallas Howard is so beautiful here that I will keep dreaming about her fringe for several months to come.

Hardworking and teachable Beta of Spielberg’s Alpha. From the very beginning, Jurassic World has profiled itself as a "new generation" blockbuster, which consciously draws from its inspirations and at the same time tries to name the basic rules, regularities and limits of its universe. So, we find ourselves in a world where the good old attractions were no longer "jagged and big" enough, so it was necessary to develop new ones that are artificially boosted, and thus reliably deadly. Jurassic World is in fact a struggle between enchanted film nostalgia and the triumph of megalomania in the form of a genetically infused prehistoric lizard. Surprisingly, the film is clearly for the lovers of the great first film, to which it completely subordinates its mythology, logic and the directing style to the talented Colin Trevorrow. However, Jurassic World will never achieve the brilliance and smoothness of the attractions of Jurassic Park; it will always be missing a bit of it. Nevertheless, it has enough entertaining parts to hold one’s attention. At the same time, it has one big advantage - the growing ironic charisma of sweaty adventurer Chris Pratt. Is a new Harrison Ford being born? (11/06/2015)

A perfect contemporary studio film, pitch-perfectly refined to fit almost everyone's taste. The stars have "just the right" luminosity, Spielberg behind their backs, special effects artists at work, and a scripted cocktail of everything a family wants to experience on a trip to the movies. The studios will fight over Trevorrow now because we rarely see such pure craft. The unfortunate thing is that it doesn't give anything for free. Therefore, especially in terms of tension, it's pretty instant, without anything really substantial, like "climbing over a high-tension fence" or "raptors in the kitchen," which still affects me after more than twenty years and can refer to someone who has something in their head besides craft. [Btw: Chris Pratt is likable, no question about it, but his position is more so iconic, pushed by an army of e-fans. When he really carries an entire film, let him have the whip and the hat.] (13/07/2015)

Funny, suspenseful, touching, dignified, great. Jurassic World turned out the best that it could. The script moves along without the slightest problem, there is careful direction with a sense of alternating serious and light moments, a lot of nostalgia, but not so much that the film cowardly relies on it, new ideas, excellent sympathetic actors, in short, everything is as it should be. Moreover, the trailers didn't show everything, so there is no shortage of surprises (the best moments of the film for me). I'm glad Colin Trevorrow has done so well and outwitted all the doubters. And Michael Giacchino is also a hustler because, unlike Don Davis in Jurassic Park 3, he didn't try to imitate John Williams but used his themes as the cornerstones of his own music, which was the best possible approach.___P.S. But the Czech subtitles! I don't know in what conditions Petr Zenkl created them, but to turn triceratops into "triceratoptors" and to turn a female indominus rex into a male, although "him" is still referred to as "she" or "it", it really wasn't necessary.___P.P.S. Unfortunately, the same subtitles were used for the DVD release without any corrections. (13/06/2015)
