Director: Colin Trevorrow Starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D'Onofrio, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson.
I loved Jurassic World when I first saw it at the cinema, and I still love it years on. Whenever I revisit it, I wonder if I'll suddenly understand the intense hatred, but it's never happened. I understand that it relies more on computer-generated imagery than practical effects and animatronics, but the dinosaur action is more dynamic than ever before, and it's interesting to see this type of movie with an A-grade budget and contemporary visual effects. Chris Pratt is a great lead, and there is actual intelligence to the screenplay with regards to the science and the ethics. The movie also seriously delivers with the final showdown, the Indominus Rex vs the T-rex with a raptor guest appearance - I mean, it's silly, but it's insanely entertaining.
