Jurassic World ***


directed this Sci-Fi adventure. Watch Preview. Cast: Bryce Dallas Howard, Judy Greer, Chris Pratt, Ty Simpkins, Jake Johnson, Nick Robinson, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D'Onofrio, BD Wong, Omar Sy, Katie McGrath, Lauren Lapkus, Andy Buckley. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril. Running time is two hours and four minutes.

A new sci-fi terror adventure set 22 years after the horrific events of the original "Jurassic Park." The park management decides they need a new attraction and engineer a hybrid dinosaur that's far too smart...so smart it can escape its 'inescapable' pen.

If you haven't seen the earlier versions, this should prove entertaining. If you have seen the earlier versions, other than a different cast and one new dinosaur, there isn't much difference. I feel the earlier versions were more tense and perhaps scarier while the latest version is lacking much tension but features a lot more chompin'. CGI is good this time around but it wasn't bad the first times. The cast is fine with Pratt and Howard taking care of business nicely. D'Onofrio has the villain part down pat and it's just a matter of waiting to see how long it takes for him to get what he deserves. I was surprised this wasn't in 'scope but perhaps IMAX is supposed to take care of that. I watched the 2D version and didn't feel a bit deprived.

There are no additional scenes once the final credits begin. A large screen is going to provide more action impact. 2D Theatres/Times. 3D Theatres/Times. IMAX 3D Times.
