Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park (1993), Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to re-spark visitor's interest, which backfires horribly.

Hardworking and teachable Beta of Spielberg’s Alpha. From the very beginning, Jurassic World has profiled itself as a "new generation" blockbuster, which consciously draws from its inspirations and at the same time tries to name the basic rules, regularities and limits of its universe. So, we find ourselves in a world where the good old attractions were no longer "jagged and big" enough, so it was necessary to develop new ones that are artificially boosted, and thus reliably deadly. Jurassic World is in fact a struggle between enchanted film nostalgia and the triumph of megalomania in the form of a genetically infused prehistoric lizard. Surprisingly, the film is clearly for the lovers of the great first film, to which it completely subordinates its mythology, logic and the directing style to the talented Colin Trevorrow. However, Jurassic World will never achieve the brilliance and smoothness of the attractions of Jurassic Park; it will always be missing a bit of it. Nevertheless, it has enough entertaining parts to hold one’s attention. At the same time, it has one big advantage - the growing ironic charisma of sweaty adventurer Chris Pratt. Is a new Harrison Ford being born?

An excellent tribute to the first film, from the opening panorama, through the helicopter arrival, to references to the eccentric millionaire. Fortunately, Jurassic World doesn't steal, but rather duplicates the functioning and adds design thanks to a twenty-year evolution in technology, making the dinosaur action even more intense and dense, with an excellently depicted and well thought-out park. The acting also works great, and although it may not be as confident and iconic as Spielberg's film, it is at least a decent beta that won't offend either the wallet or the brain of the viewer.

A blockbuster that has it all! Its nostalgic connection with the first instalment, elaboration of dozens of motifs and ideas, fast-paced narrative and action make the second and third parts of the series look like unnecessary spin-offs (and I’m saying this as someone who likes the second one very much and doesn’t mind number three). In Jurassic World, everyone will find their own well-defined character – from the adventure through the eyes of two boy heroes, through the sparks between the attracting opposites in the form of a likeable adventurer and a detached sexy manager, to a young bespectacled geek in an e-bay “Jurassic Park” T-shirt and the park’s Indian financial director, an inside-joke allegory about Indian investors pouring loads of money into Hollywood. ___ Jurassic World contains all the formulas of blockbusters, but does not use them passively and lazily, instead playing with them in an imaginative and clever manner. Like no other blockbuster, Jurassic World draws us into the phenomenal culture of American entertainment attractions and parks – including the scene involving hiding in the T-shirt stand that you must (but also want to) walk through after each attraction at Universal Studios. ___ Jurassic World has a seamlessly, beautifully edited long intro that, together with the tones of John Williams’ motif and a brief depiction of the family relationships of some of the main characters, serves as the perfect introduction to the park on Isla Nublar, while both reviving nostalgia from 1993 and pushing it to a more technologically advanced level (the transformation of a small-scale hidden attraction into megalomaniac machinery serving 20,000 visitors a day). Jurassic World achieved wonderful escalation while discovering the genes from which the main monster is developed. Thanks to its intelligence, we’re in for some unexpected twists, boosting the adventure experience. A shift in the story that we have long been expecting and looking forward to (a raptor attack) becomes just a stepping stone to a dramaturgical advance to a higher level. ___ Jurassic World has a grandiose climax that, thanks to its editing and placement of live characters among digital monsters, overshadows any climax of the monster and Transformers movies of the entire decade. And in the last, perfectly timed moment it pulls the biggest ace out of its sleeve in such a way that I wanted to holler and clap my hands like a little kid. Do not evaluate Jurassic World by comparing it to the first instalment, whose uniqueness was guaranteed by the first ever large-screen performance of living CGI beings. Evaluate it as a contemporary blockbuster that has to compete with Nolan and Bay while preserving its historical roots. IMAX, 3D!

A very pleasant surprise and the best sequel to Jurassic Park so far. Trevorrow takes a sensitive approach and present Hammond’s original vision and the whole spiel about raising profits works just great. With the kids’ storyline (much less annoying than you might think) for a classic family feeling. And also taming the raptors that made it onto the poster. Chris "Starlord" Pratt returned to his role from Zero Dark Thirty and his marine/medic is a very good central figure for the whole story with the anticipated involvement of B. D. Howard, who shakes off her corporate shell maybe too quickly. They could have left out her running in high-heels. The dinosaur scenes are not as terrifying as before and its meant to be pure blockbuster entertainment for all age groups. The megafights between species to find a master of the dinosaurs is a pleasure to watch. Effects are mostly fine, but are sometimes spoiled by minor details that a bit more work could have put right. Even so, I enjoyed Jurassic World incredibly and it’s one of those movies that I look forward to watch again some time. Not just a few selected scenes, but all in all good, clean fun. P.S.: Williams’ theme presented by Giacchino still works well.

In the past, the second and third movies tried not to follow a safe path of the first movie, but although it was a nice try they failed terribly (in terms of both acceptance and, unfortunately, quality). The third sequel, on the other hand, follows the path of the first movie and it turns out to be the right decision (it is great both in terms of acceptance and, fortunately, quality). However, it is not only a dull follow-up, but a playful and self-conscious continuation. Although it may not impress you in such a way (or any) that the first movie did but even without this bonus it is a high-quality movie in the form of a fun and excellently graduating summer Hollywood craft in the best sense of this word whose biggest mistake is the simple fact is that we have already seen it (multiple times). What they did really well are the "gojira-like" ending and Pratt, who is labeled as a new Ford/Indy and even though it is already the most annoying universally acknowledge cliché, but we simply cannot deny the fact that this person is a new Ford, that is for sure.
