To go or not to go? Jurassic World

Jurassic world is on it's way to tear up the weekend box office but is it worth the ticket price? Two kids are sent off to visit their aunt at the larger than life Jurassic World theme park, only to realize they're getting more close and personal with the dinosaurs there than they expected.  The first five minutes might be the most nostalgia inducing scenes I've seen in a film in a very long time and its hard not to feel like an excited child (three years old, in my case) seeing dinosaurs on the big screen for the first time back in 1993, but past that lies some problems. A lot of the movie had some really magical moments but the focus of this film is hunting down a genetically modified new dinosaur that manages to escape its pen and wreak havoc on the island as well as the other inhabitants. The story gets convoluted quickly, even thought it sorts itself out in the end, it certainly wasn't enough to make up for it's "shrugged shoulder," ending. The action is exciting and intense but a handful of inconsistencies left me scratching my head. For example, the younger of the two siblings who star in the film somehow managed to use matches that we seemingly soaked when the two dove into water while running from the Dinosaur. Another was an ode to the original Jeep Wrangler, which they managed to fix up and someone make run assuming it had fuel and these were just two within five minutes of each other. While the highly intelligent "bad dino," was a massive 50 feet long, he never actually felt that large, or menacing. i guess next to things that are near your size or taller or a giant whale like creature, you kind of fit in. A lot of the jokes fall pretty flat but the best delivery came from the lovable comedic actor, Jake Johnson, star of New Girl and Let's be cops. Jurassic World's biggest flaw is that its felt less like an adventure, like the originals, and more like a re-hashed version of a monster film. (People seem to echo that sentiment) Regardless though, this movie's still a pretty good time and Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard add some fun moments to the film and it looks like we'll be seeing more of them soon!
