Was I a Chris Pratt fan or #JurassicWorld fan first?

I’ve just seen ‘Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom,’ so here’s my review fresh from the theater!

(*Please note I cannot claim to be a ‘Jurassic Park’ officionado - I just enjoy a good adventure - with Chris Pratt. 😆)


My spoiler-free review of 'Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom:

First I will say that I do recommend it. Then, of course, the question is, "Why?"

1) The movie is made up almost entirely of memorable, 'wow,' or jump moments - they just feel nonstop! I loved that! It was sort of like being in one of those gyrospheres from the movie, where you're constantly rolling along and seeing exciting things, but you don't have to experience any danger or physical exertion. 😂 You just get the thrill!

2) People say it has elements of a horror movie due to the past projects of the director, but I would argue that these 'horror' elements are simply suspenseful in the same vein as all of the Jurassic movie suspenseful moments (the kind that have you covering your face and peeking through  your fingers...which I might have done), but in new situations. That being said...

3) It was nervewracking!! 😱

4) It feels like you're watching Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard play slightly less warm and friendly versions of themselves; which I definitely enjoy, because they seem like such fun characters in real life! And who doesn't want more Christ Pratt? 😉

I enjoy their shenanigans too much. 

5) Speaking of Chris Pratt, some of my favorite moments in the movie are him interacting with Blue (his special raptor.) I mean, who would have thought a raptor could ever be termed adorable? But that's what I would call it. 😆

6) It's creative and original (in a Jurassic Park sort of way, of course) – not in a mind-blowing way, but I'd say in a memorable way – and the story is just a fun and exciting one to add to your mind's repertoire of plots!

It’s an adventure!!! I hope you have as much fun as I did!
