Twenty-two years ago, John Hammond envisioned a theme park where guests could experience the thrill of witnessing actual dinosaurs. Today, jUrassic World welcomes tens of thousands of visitors, but something ferocious lurks behind the park's attraction: a genetically modified dinosaur with savage capabilities. When chaos erupts across the island, Owen (Chris Pratt, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard, The Help) race to restore order as a day in the park becomes a struggle for survival.The DIGITAL COPY for this movie has EXPIRED.

Non-stop Excitement from the First Frame to the Last
I didn't get to see Jurassic World in the theater, so my first experience was watching the Blu-ray version when the DVD release came out on October 20, 2015. The film is non-stop fun from the first frame to the last, with only a few predictable moments where it lapse into the "who dies next?" syndrome of horror-survivor flicks. Mostly the filmmakers checked their political baggage at the door, avoiding a persistent flaw in Hollywood releases in the past couple of decades.There's a hint of "evil corporation seeks to maximize profit" but even that silly theme is presented more as the far more factual and realistic "sometimes people are really idiots!" (I worked for NASA for several decades. Trust me; sometimes people in positions of authority can be complete idiots despite having hundreds of experts advising them not to be.) In this case, the idiocy is gene-splicing critters to make a beast even more scary than any dinosaur that ever walked the earth; and then, of course, losing control of it. There is none of the tedious preaching about silly philosophies that spoiled Jeff Goldblum's performance in the original Jurassic Park movie. And perhaps best of all, Jurassic World's writers correctly use personal pronouns!There did seem to be a missing element that I couldn't quite put my finger on until I'd watched the film and all of the fun extras that came with the Blu-ray release: There's no moment of the Grand Reveal. A movie as grand and expansive as this really needs that glorious moment that played so well in the first movie, where after the first encounter with a brontosaurus, Richard Attenborough says "Welcome to Jurassic Park!" and the camera pans to a grand vista of all the dinosaurs gamboling on the savannah. Sure, it's been done; but if you're going to make a movie like this, do it again! It's a grand moment that sells the entire film to come. Jurassic World does have a moment of Grand Reveal, but instead of seeing the wonders of the natural world, we see a sprawling man-made theme park. Cool, but hardly as engaging as all those critters in their natural environment.Never sit next to an engineer at an SF movie: Although I thoroughly enjoy these dinosaurs movies, I do have to work to suspend disbelief when I accept the notion that, if we really could clone these huge beasts today, that they could survive in modern world. The issue that haunts my mind the temperature. Earth was much hotter during the 300 million years that dinosaurs roamed the planet, and those high temperatures might have been what was necessary to support gigantism. Immediately after Earth cooled down, presumably because of a screen of dust created by a big meteor impact, all the megafauna suddenly disappeared forever. So our cloned beasties just might not be able to live on Earth today, even if we carefully groomed a whole island near the equator just for them. Rats.

A very well done film with lots of callbacks and homage to the original
I don't understand how anyone could dislike this movie. I mean MAYBE if you come into it cold and have never heard of the franchise, you hate dinosaurs, and you hate Chris Pratt, but that's crazy talk. I don't understand how anyone could hate either. Anyway, I digress. My son and I have counted down the days until Jurassic World was released. We watched for Facebook posts, explored the website, and followed the Easter Eggs online every time there was new information about the film available. When we finally went to the Drive-In to see it, we were beyond excited! The action starts pretty early-on in the film and pretty much doesn't stop. I enjoyed the pacing of the film a lot. Although almost 100% of the effects are CGI, it didn't annoy me. I did notice that there is very little blood. If you're concerned about it being appropriate for kids, I don't think it's any worse than the original, although plenty of people seem to disagree with me. You had more blood AND gore in Jurassic Park, and minus one spray of blood into leaves (from violence you don't see), there is barely any blood in Jurassic World at all. In Jurassic Park there's one particularly brutal/out in the open death (the lawyer) and there is a death that mirrors that in JW. There's also a pretty gnarly severed arm in Jurassic Park (Laura Dern/raptor scene), but there's nothing even close to that in Jurassic World. I think the T-Rex/Jeep scene in Jurassic Park is by far, the scariest scene of either movie. The moral to the story is, if you let your kids watch Jurassic Park, then don't worry about allowing them to watch Jurassic World. They'll be fine.SPOILERS BELOW -The *only* two things that were even remotely off with the movie had nothing to do with the dinosaurs. The first thing that I thought was 'off' was Chris Pratt and Bryce Howard's first kiss. It was weird. It was like watching two happily married people pretend to kiss (which is exactly what it was). The other was Vincent D'onofrio's death scene. It came off fake and kind of lame. I didn't believe it.Other than that? Love it. It's a fun movie just like Jurassic Park was. Don't pick it to pieces. It's a dinosaur movie, not The English Patient.
