The Hidden Content in Jurassic World

There is serious doubt whether the latest Jurassic film has any amount of characteristic content apart from the coruscating digital effects. Fans may release, there is. 

Even though, it is spectacular, gripping and adventurous, something is missing – apart from the transparent mutant dino: a sensibly written plot. 

Even if it seems that the story evolves in the two-hour long movie, in fact, we are given a nostalgic fusion of the most memorable moments of the former three episodes. The creators of Jurassic World though that these would provide the must-see-quality, whereas, the selection of best scenes achieves no more than a constant climax which becomes tedious after a time, but the story itself is weak tea. Furthermore, the excitement cannot be increased, and the final scene is, to put it mildly, releasing. One might ask the question that if the film is made up of the recycled scenes of previous films, then what is original in it at all? And what is it about? 

The most obvious answer is that it is spectacular, especially in three-dimensional screening. However, apart from this, nothing else is elaborated. The characters are schematic, the actions are physically impossible and plot is the plagiary of the film’s own forebears.

Quoting Sandy Schaefer, “Jurassic World is a big, shiny, and entertaining roller coaster ride, though the 'World' is more interesting than the people.” 

It is not a coincidence that those actors, who were real icons of the show, like Sam Neill, Laura Dern or Jeff Goldblum stayed out of the whole production. It is also important to note that the film was not even directed by Steven Spielberg. Instead of clinching to actors that made the original trilogy run, we are obliged to watch Bryce 

Dallas Howard (a zippy double of Jessica Chastain), Chris Pratt, with a character of mixed Indiana Jones and Sandy (from Flipper (1996)) schooling velociraptorslike homothermal animals as they were able to perform affection. Plus, two boys, who are supposed to be the main characters of the movie, are present in the film, hopefully not to represent the logical decision-making skills of the next generation. 

Besides Spielberg, it is also worth mentioning the director, Colin Trevorrow, who happens to act a minor (but memorable) role in the film. His character, called Mr. DNA, is obsessed with the park and working in it. He has three main relevant features: he handles the electronic system of the park, he keeps tiny rubber dinosaurs on his desk, and he is oppressed by his female boss (who is so phenomenal, by the way, as she can run through the jungle in high-heeled shoes). Even if he spends only a few minutes on screen, he is the one to reset the system of the park and wonderfully save those few who survived the dinosaur invasion. At this point, irrespectively of the visual effects, we can conclude that there is one more thing which the film commemorates; shortly, the fact how much Trevorrow loved Jurassic Park, when he was 21. It is not excluded that he made a film for himself and Spielberg to show how smart they both are. 

It can be concluded that the film, in fact, is an artistic self-realization of the director who could make his dream come true within a $150 million budget production. Still, people like the film, and regard it as a good mean of entertainment. For me, watching Jurassic World was equal to being part of Trevorrow’s secret internal world, and a good example of poor but expensive filmmaking.
