On Bluray/DVD and Digital from director J.A. Bayona and
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is the next chapter in the world of
dinosaur’s with JURASSIC WORLD: Fallen Kingdom.
After the 2015 disaster of the dinosaur park, a new disaster
is on the horizon. The island’s volcano is about to destroy what is left of any
living creature. A committee in the U.S.
She receives a telephone call from Benjamin Lockwood (James
Cromwell) who wants to help. Working for Lockwood is Eli Mills (Rafe Spall) who
explains that they have another island for the animals to go to where they will
be safe. The problem is locating them all and they need Claire’s help.
The location system on the island is shut down and Mills
needs her to go back and start it up as well as find Blue. Claire knows there
is only one person that can help with that part of the trip – Owen Grady (Chris
Pratt). Finding him is easy but convincing him to come help Blue is trickier.
Loading up for the trip, Claire takes computer wizard
Franklin (Justice Smith) and dino-vet Zia Rodriguez (Daniella Pineda). Also
with them is back up Ken Wheatley (Ted Levine) and his band of gun toting men.
Owen realizes he needs to help and off they go to the island.
It doesn’t take long before the group realizes they’ve been
duped and Blue gets hurt. Wheatley only used the group to get their hands on
Blue leaving them for dead. It becomes clear that Mills is actually only
interested in selling the animals to the highest bidder. It is Lockwood’s
granddaughter Maisie (Isabella Sermon) who catches on and tries to alert her
grandfather.
Owen and Claire make their way to the caravan to discover
that Mills is not only responsible for everything that is happening, but that
underneath the Lockwood mansion lies another world that is about to be torn
apart by something new and far more dangerous.
Because once again the dinosaurs prove life will find a way!
Pratt as Grady jumps in once again because who can resist a
lovely raptor creature named Blue. Of course he isn’t about to let Claire go
into the fray alone and it doesn’t take long before he is running through an
island for his very life. From start to finish Pratt is go-go-go and trying to
put a stop to those who seemed destined to bring destruction – and I don’t mean
the islands previous inhabitants.
Howard as Claire wants to save the dinosaurs so badly that
she’ll take any opportunity to get help. Believing in Lockwood’s plan, she is
also back to the island were running is a foregone conclusion – only this time
she isn’t wearing heels! After she and Owen find out where Mills has taken the
creatures, she eventually will have to make a decision about their fate.
Smith as Webb is clearly not happy with visiting an island
full of creatures that want to eat him but he hangs in for the long haul.
Pineda as Zia is the reason we still have Blue on our side! Spall as Mills is a
total douche bag and I didn’t need five minutes to figure that out. Once again
it seems that the millionaires put their bucks and trust into the wrong people.
Jones as Eversol gets what he deserves and so does Levine as
Wheatley – I mean seriously guys, you can’t crack a whip at a creature with
large teeth and not expect something bad to happen right? Wong as Dr. Wu makes
an appearance and I still can’t stand him – Dr. Wu that is.
Much love to Geraldine Chaplin as Iris because she is a
woman I’ve absolutely adored since seeing her face in the 1965 brilliant film
DR. ZHIVAGO. She always brings a gentle nature and in this film it returns with
beauty.
Of course I can not let another line go by without saying
how thrilled I am that Jeff Goldblum, the man, the myth, the Jurassic Park
legend came back to give us a little more of Ian Malcolm.
Other cast includes Toby Jones as Mr. Eversol, BD Wong as
Dr. Wu, Peter Jason as Senator Sherwood, the lovely Geraldine Chaplin as Iris
and the incomparable Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm.

JURASSIC WORLD: Fallen Kingdom is furious, a tad
predictable, full of dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes, bad men coming out of
the woodwork and a few surprises. I think we can let the dinosaur’s rest for a
bit while Maisie grows up to take over the sprint to catch those that got away.
I had a good time and am still very vocal during the film
with ‘oh no!’, ‘did you see that?’, ‘oh my gawd’, ‘whoa!’ and other words not
meant for print. That’s what makes the JURASSIC PARK
There are genres of films that we all love to watch – scary
movies, zombie movies and a good dinosaur movie. JURASSIC PARK
The film is what summer blockbusters are all about and
JURASSIC WORLD: Fallen Kingdom is just that in every sense of the word. So
gather up the family (might want to let the smaller kids hang out with grandma
and grandpa for this one) and prepare for the next chapter in the Jurassic
saga. It calls for a big screen, a sound bar and feet up off the floor.
In the end – the park is gone!
