Sci-Fi. Action. Adventure Twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar now features a fully functioning dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, as originally envisioned by John Hammond. This new park is owned by the Masrani Corporation. Owen (Chris Pratt), a member of Jurassic World's on-site staff, conducts behavioral research on the Velociraptors, but things go awry when the research team accidentally unleashes a genetically-modified hybrid dinosaur into the park.

	Media	Author	Review
		Scott Foundas Variety	"A bigger, faster, noisier dinosaur opus (...) ['Jurassic World'] captures only a fraction of the original film’s overflowing awe and wonderment"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[Trevor] recaptures the thrilling spirit of the Spielberg original with fresh provocation: Is bigger always better? (...) 'Jurassic World' will scare the hell out of you, and not just for the obvious reasons (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Two decades after dinosaurs ruled the Earth’s cinemas, are we still capable of putting our phones away for two hours and being honestly amazed by them (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A terrifically enjoyable and exciting summer spectacular: savvy, funny, ridiculous in just the right way (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"The park’s back open, but you won’t be awestruck like before. (...) Jurassic World has absolutely no reason for being (except for the obvious one), but at least it chomps your time painlessly (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A sequel that’s all overkill and very little genuine grandeur or awe. (...) Trevorrow fails to capture the power or wonder of these rampaging dinos."
		Rodrigo Perez IndieWire	"An exciting, effective and largely satisfying belated sequel that should roar through the box-office and please most blockbuster enthusiasts (...) , it’s arguably one of the rare reboots (like “Mad Max: Fury Road”) that earns its right to continue"
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"It goes down quite a bit easier than the previous two sequels (...) The new film's perspective (...) while hardly radical, plainly announces its makers' sense of humor about their own project's multi-faceted mercantile motives."
		Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"While the new Jurassic World pales next to the awe-inspiring spectacle of the original, it’s easily the franchise’s most thrilling sequel yet"
		Jacob Hall New York Daily News	"'Jurassic World' is frequently silly and self-indulgent, but it works more often than not. For better and worse, unlike previous 'Jurassic Park' sequels, this one was at least made by someone who really loves 'Jurassic Park'. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kyle Smith New York Post	"'Jurassic World' is the blockbuster we’ve been waiting for. (...) None of this is ever quite as great as it is in Spielberg’s work, but it’s reasonably close (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"The lesson of the original 'Jurassic Park' was that man shouldn’t attempt to tamper with nature. The lesson of 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park', 'Jurassic Park III' and now 'Jurassic World' is that filmmakers apparently shouldn’t attempt to tamper with 'Jurassic Park'."
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"There’s more flab than muscle packed on this galumphing franchise reboot, which (...) reminds you of what a great action god Steven Spielberg is. Too bad he didn’t take the reins on this."
		Louise Keller Urbancinefile	"Jurassic World is scary, engrossing and thought provoking. But the filmmakers have never forgotten the fun."
