When it had been announced that there would be a new Jurassic Park movie, I was thrilled. When I found out it would be directed by Steven Spielberg, my excitement grew. After I watched the movie in the theaters, I left completely satisfied with the storyline, special effects, and humor, which was a relief; because of being a huge fan of the first two Jurassic Park movies, this movie ended up being added into my small circle of all-time favorites, and I bought the DVD. After the disappointment of Jurassic Park III, which had not been directed by Spielberg like the first two, the last thing I wanted to see was Jurassic World butcher my favorite movies. Even with Spielberg in charge of this new movie, I still had my concerns when it first came …show more content…
In Jurassic Park III, the storyline left the park concept behind and added a second island that had its own set of dinosaurs. This island contained the Spinosaurus, which was a super dinosaur that had the ability to conquer the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Fortunately, the storyline in Jurassic World was and is in no way disappointing. Though there is a genetically modified super dinosaur, the creation and concept of this monster is fantastic and works well with the whole concept.
The CGI, computer-generated imagery, had been my second fear. In the commercials for Jurassic World, the raptors looked CGI, and I could not help but worry that it would ruin the movie. However, like in the other movies, animatronics are used and the CGI works out well, on the dinosaurs that is. There are helicopter scenes where the helicopters look rather toy-like and those scenes are almost laughable.
Something I found surprising in Jurassic World was the humor. In the first two movies there had been a small amount of it, but they were more serious films. In Jurassic World, the amount of humor was unexpected and delightful. In my opinion, Chris Pratt’s character, Owen, brings the movie together with his tough, sensitive, and funny personality. The other actors and actresses play their roles perfectly as well, and I love how they incorporated parts from the old movies into this new

    To begin, a book that can be compared with Jurassic Park would be Fahrenheit 451 by the author Ray Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451 is comparable because they are both fictional. I say that the books are fictional because Tyrannosaurus Rexes and Mechanical Hounds that can do unknown abilities do not exist in our society today. They are also comparable with the uses of imagery and details in their figurative language. Imagery and details are used by both authors because they are able to engage the reader.…

    The action sequences are fairly well done, but they range from 'that could have been done better' to just being downright badass. The sounds are fantastic and they will never let you forget what a dinosaur roaring in your face sounds like. The music score fits in well with the movie and the slow, piano tribute to the '93 Jurassic Park soundtrack is chilling.…

    The symbolism remains the same but seems to pinpoint the characters’ actions and expressions better than Oates did in her story. Connie, played by Laura Dern who is best known for her roles in two of the Jurassic Park films, captured the hurt she felt when her mother, played by Mary Kay Place, treated her with disrespect and scolding. Connie seems to be more reckless in the film, as well. The actor with the most emphasis on the written character and who actually received an Independent Spirit Award as best male lead is Treat Williams, known in “Smooth Talk” as Arnold Friend. Arnold has an awkward persona in the story, but when portrayed on film, his peculiarity is accentuated.…

    Michael Crichton wrote the original “Jurassic Park” and Steven Spielberg captivated us with the 1993 Blockbuster that has turned into an impeccable franchise (Anderson, 2015). At ten years old, I merely went to see the movie a dozen times before my parents no longer would give into my paleontology obsession. “No one’s impressed by a dinosaur anymore,” are the lines expressed by park manager, Claire, in “Jurassic World” (Anderson, 2015). The franchise has spawned a mega-brand that has like any other, experienced highs and lows. Did I mention “Jurassic World” was just named the #3 highest-grossing film of all time, by Newsday (2015).…

    Going back to the title the dinosaur can be a symbol of extinction or bringing the past into the present. However, the author wants the audience to see how the dinosaur means clutching onto big childhood aspirations. Furthermore, hugging it tight and protecting it so it does not become extinct and just something one reads about in the past. The audience can see that black boy holding the gun as if he has no time for dreams and therefore cannot worry about those kinds of thing. In the line where the author writes, “no one kills the black boy.…

    Overall, nature will always outsmart the development of humans, and is just “renting” its land and creatures for us, having the ability to release its true power at any point. In contrast, the main animals in the movies differed from each other. Blackfish focused mainly on it’s killer whales. These are sea animals which are much different than the land dinosaurs in Jurassic…

    After “Star Wars” was released, “Raiders of the Lost Ark” explored special effects in a greater depth. Many of the scenes used special effects and made it much more realistic and believable which makes the movie more enjoyable and interesting to watch. The movie had such great special and visual effects that it won an academy award for best visual effects. “Raiders of the Lost Ark” is a dauntless and valiant epic adventure that incorporates a little “Star Wars,” James Bond films, and other multimillion-dollar-special-effect movies. The movie only wants to perform one job and that is to entertain and given how much money the movie made I would say it succeeds at doing so.…

    I had already seen multiple documentaries on the environment and on climate change. I did not know, though, how influential Leonardo DiCaprio was and how passionate he was about the Earth. I enjoyed getting to hear from so many different professors, doctors and environmentalists. Each person Leonardo talked to had something new to say or show him, and I never felt like I was hearing the same thing over and over again. I disliked the lack of female representation.…
