Jurassic World | Film Review

-


Hey Guys x

First of all, I'm posting on a Wednesday, which I haven't done in ages!

I don't know if I'm going to be posting every Wednesday like I did before but I wanted to post this week!

So, on Sunday I went to see Jurassic World.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. I'm not the biggest fan of the original Jurassic Park movies - not that I don't like them, but I've always been more interested in different types of movies.

But my mind was completely changed after seeing this!

It is about a woman called Claire, who is the operations manager of the Jurassic World theme park. She has invited her two nephews (Zach and Gray) to visit the park and stay with her for a few days. While working, she comes into contact with Owen, a Velociraptor expert and trainer, and tells him about the newest dinosaur in the park. This dinosaur has been genetically mutated to scare the children at the park. However, messing with nature always has consequences, and before anyone knows it, this GM dinosaur is uncontrollable. Can Claire and Owen stop it before it's too late?

Trust me, my description does not do the film justice!

Trust me when I say that this is an amazing film. Without a doubt the best film I've seen this year!

What I liked the most about this film was that it had the right amount of everything. It was part horror movie, part thriller, part comedy, part rom-com, part drama, and all of these elements played a big part in bringing the film together and making it what it was. Because of this, it wasn't just a 'dinosaur movie', it had a lot of hidden depths which made for excellent viewing.

But, more than that, it was the characters that made the film incredible.

First of all, Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays Claire, is incredible. I've liked her since she played Victoria in the Twilight Saga 'Eclipse'. I thought she was great in that, but in this film, she completely out-did herself. Her character was great because she changed from someone who would was a bit career-obsessed and selfish, to running all over the place in heels to look after everyone but herself. But the change was so subtle that you didn't really notice, which I liked because it was really realistic.

However, for me, Chris Pratt, who played Owen, was the one who stole the show (film) for me. I had known slightly who he was before, but I was never really attracted to him. Anyway, I knew that he was in the MARVEL cinematic universe (playing Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy) so I was expecting good things from him. However, I did not expect him to be so amazing in the film! I had never seen him act in anything before, and this was a great first movie to see him in because he was incredible! His character was just so cool and sweet, and it really made the film great! (Not to mention he's ridiculously hot!)

I honestly can't think of anything about the film that I would change because everything just went se well together, and was a great way to continue the Jurassic Park trilogy. In fact, I actually think it was better than the first films!

Overall, I really think that you should all go and see this film before it leaves cinemas because it's a great film! Even if you're not into dinosaurs, it's still an amazing watch!

Thank you for reading!

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

Subservience | Film Review

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

Brothers | Film Review

While attempting to go straight, former criminal Moke's (Josh Brolin) efforts are derailed when he is reunited with his twin brother Jady (Peter Dinklage), who convinces him to join a cross-country road-trip to retrieve the score of a lifetime. I remember seeing the trailer for this a few months ago and being surprised by the actors involved, because no one seemed to be anticipating its release at all. I wasn't particularly interested in the plot, but as a fan of a few of the actors in it, I wanted to see it. And after watching the film, I understand why no one was really talking about it. But let's start with the good things! The characters are great. Jady and Moke are fun characters to spend time with, and the actors had great chemistry. If nothing else in the film felt realistic, their brotherly banter worked. At the beginning, it was funnier than I expected it to be. This unfortunately didn't last and the film got less and less funny as it went on, but for a while t
