On my part, inaugurating the «leisure» section on our website, where I will recommend films from yesterday and today, I could not let go of the immense pain that went to me to go to the cinema and see Jurassic World. The most fanatical of the saga, those of us who have done authentic Jurassic Park marathons, we were biting our nails waiting for June 12 to arrive to flock to the nearest movie theaters with the sole intention of witnessing once again an intrepid history of dinosaurs, DNA, velociraptors and adrenaline. However, it is not gold everything that shines.
At a glance, considering that you have established a new historic revenue record of $ 511,8 million worldwide in its first weekendWith almost half being in the United States, anyone would think that we are facing a masterpiece, but of course, neither the same audience goes to the cinema as before, nor is it at the same price. In short, I allow myself to paraphrase Daniel De Partearrollo, editor of Cinemanía, when he indicates that the film takes several accurate bites, but leaves no trace.
We will start with Bryce Dallas who plays a role between the insubstantial and the comic, almost totally expressionless, far from what Laura Dern gave us in Jurassic Park and very far from Julianne Moore in The Lost World. In short, it is impossible to forget that the entire movie is spent in heels., starring in races worthy of Usain Bolt and worst of all, detracting from the role of Chris Pratt, which is the most commendable of the film. The native Virginia actor was at the height of Sam Neill himself, or at least almost, but avoiding comparisons is impossible.
The boast of special effects makes the dinosaurs (which by the way, neither get dirty, nor bleed) appear more typical of a video game than a movie, and it is that in this edition they decided to opt for a excess of digital special effects, not taking advantage of the realism of the animatronics in its entirety, which undoubtedly does not achieve an effect as realistic as that of mechanical dinosaurs in parts that Spielberg wore in his previous versions, but above all the dark play of lights of the first editions is totally forgotten, with a photograph that leaves much to be desired and some impressive sets, which in the final scenes collapse to the rhythm of what they are, pure papier-mâché.
Although it is undeniable that the film is entertaining, it will not go down in history for serving homage to its predecessors (especially the first and second), but of course, It is here that we realize that the director is Colin Trevorrow and not Spielberg, and more in an era where commercial cinema is at its best, we could say that the script for Jurassic World is not far from unfortunate, beyond the human-dinosaur union and certain notes of humor that are stuck with shoehorn. It is certainly a movie to see, to enjoy, but not to savor. However, it continues to allow the third edition of Jurassic Park to hold the dubious honor of being the worst in the saga. Yet to Caesar what is Caesar's, respect for the original soundtrack and its use at specific moments has been the best of the film.
By the way, I couldn't say goodbye without giving a round of applause to the battery manufacturer of the Jurassic Park Jeep that remained in Jurassic World and that the boys start so many years later. It should be hired by Tesla Motors. And remember that at the end of each article I will rate the film, as objectively as possible but remembering that I speak from my point of view. And do not hesitate to leave comments on any film that you want to recommend or that you want to know something about, be it classic or novelty, so that we can analyze it. And you, what do you think of Jurassic World?
