Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was one of my most anticipated movies of 2018, I love Jurassic Park and (maybe controversially) I really liked
Jurassic World, so I was really excited to see where the sequel would go.
Does it deliver on the promise of the Jurassic Park
franchise?
Firstly, I really enjoyed the movie from start to finish,
but I have a sneaking suspicion I’d have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn’t of
seen any of the trailers. Seriously, Fallen Kingdom has one of the most spoiler
filled marketing campaigns in recent memory. Nearly every single plot twist,
action sequence payoff and the overall narrative structure of the movie has
been revealed in the film’s advertising. Even key shots from the film’s final minutes
are in the movie’s trailers.
So whilst I was watching and enjoying the movie, I was
rarely surprised or in suspense, as most of the time I’d already seen the
conclusion of a sequence in the trailer. As a result it makes it quite hard to
judge the film on its own, it’s not the fault of the movie’s creator that the marketing
gave away so much, but I was definitely thinking I know how this ends during
most of the films action sequences, which is a shame.
Now putting that to one side, and looking at the film on its
own merits I thought it was great.
This is unlike any Jurassic Park movie you’ve seen before,
part disaster movie / part horror movie, the film is literally split in half and
each part feels very different. The first half is bombastic and over the top,
whilst the second is much more intimate and smaller in scale. You replace
dinosaur stampedes and volcanic explosions with small dark corridors and tense
survival scares. Despite this, the standard moments you’d expect in a Jurassic
movie are all still here and it’s a great popcorn movie.
The script is relatively straight-forward and as suspected isn't that different to Jurassic Park: The Lost World, but it's masterfully directed by J.A. Bayona and the action sequences are extremely well shot and structured.
I’d definitely recommend Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, and
if somehow you’ve managed to avoid watching the movie trailers I imagine you’d
enjoy it even more than I did.
Nice Recommendation, as being a fan of Jurassic Series I was looking for some authentic reviews for this movie, and here I got it. As many people were saying that it's not worth watching, but I didn't listen to anyone. However, once I get the best writing help for my academic work, I will definitely watch this movie.
