Jurassic Park Movie Series
Our family is working through the Jurassic Park movie series. I've previously discussed Jurassic Park I, Jurassic Park II, and Jurassic Park III. Until recently we have not watched the two newer Jurassic Park movies starring Chris Pratt, but that has now changed.
Jurassic World (Jurassic Park IV)
It took awhile, but we finally checked out Jurassic World from the library and had a family movie night. Soccer and softball was keeping us very busy, so family movie nights are more sporadic during the spring. I'm not sure if Jurassic World is referred to as Jurassic Park IV, but that's what I'm calling it to keep track.
Jurassic Park III was not very good so it's reasonable to be skeptical of Jurassic World, but it was actually quite good. I enjoyed it and my kids enjoyed it. I'm not sure my wife did, but she hasn't been a big fan of any of the Jurassic Park movies. I like Chris Pratt as an actor. I first watched him in the old CW show, Everwood, back in the early 2000s, and really enjoyed him on Parks and Recreation. He was a good fit for the role he plays in Jurassic World. Is the science right in this movie? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Of course not, but you have to let go of reality to enjoy any of the Jurassic Park movies.
One weak spot in Jurassic World was the lack of explanation on why the island was open as a theme park again. There's a very brief mention of the original Jurassic Park theme world in this movie, but aside from that there's no explanation of why it was opened again. Are people not learning their lesson?!?!?! LOL! Build a theme park with angry dinosaurs and people will die! Not a hard concept to learn!
Up next is Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
