So I saw Jurassic World today. Excellent blockbuster. It feels at the same time very connected to the first three Jurassic Park movies, but at the same time different. The first three to me were essentially horror movies about man playing god and the consequences of doing such. Since so much time has taken place between III and 'World', with the public apparently not caring about a loose T-Rex in San Diego in 1997, World feels more like a science fiction thrill a minute ride instead of a horror film. It's gruesome, but more lighthearted in a way. The characters, even though they were written thinly, were also very charming.
P.S: Holy shit at the music. I haven't seen Jurassic Park in a long time, so I forgot just how majestic and stunning the main theme to the series is. Forget anything else John Williams has composed, THIS is his best work. I cried like a b.itch when I heard it today before I caught myself.
