Jurassic Park. My love for that movie is well know. As a franchise it’s one of my all time favourites. I enjoy all of the Jurassic Park movies. Some more than others but as a whole I adore this series.
I knew this sequel was supposed to be darker than Jurassic World but bloody hell! After finishing this trailer I was thinking “Erm, I don’t think I want to see this. Dino’s in danger? No thanks. Humans. Fine but not the animals.”
Picking up after the events of Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom sees Jurassic World’s Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen (Chris Pratt) launching a rescue mission. The island is doomed and someone needs to step up and save the dinosaurs. Even the man eating ones. If one thing is clear it won’t be easy and there will probably be more than a few accidental lunches. Plot wise I must say this was not what I was expecting. For some reason I thought the island would be the least likely place to set the film. Theme wise I can see the sense though. All living things have rights and this movie looks to examine that idea more so than any entry in the series to date.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is directed by When A Monster Calls and The Impossible director J.A. Bayona. Hopefully the films manages to be a whole lot of fun and not a total downer that will have us all sobbing our hearts out when the credits roll! We’ll find out next summer.
