Jurassic Park Meets World: Review
“The Kid” Review
“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” Review
Eli Mills: [to Claire] The island is dying. The dinosaurs must be preserved. We thought you could help.
The park is gone, but now the question is whether to save the last of the dinosaurs or not. The sequel takes place three years after the original left off, as Isla Nublar is being threatened by a destructive volcano where only the strong willed dinosaurs are left, but not for long. One of those is of course, Blue, the last of the raptors.
As part of a secret operative, special agents try to round up the dinosaurs with special interest in “Blue”, but they need help. The ones who know the park and the dinosaurs better. That’s where Claire and Owen come into play, though both are unaware of the real reason for rescuing the dinosaurs. In a comical turn of events, both are enlisted to go to the burning island, unaware of exactly what they will find.
At two hour eight minute run time, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom contains the same thrill as the original Jurassic franchise with a dark twist, that of total destruction. Ultimately the whole cast does an exceptional job portraying their roles, especially Chris Pratt (Owen) who fully captures the humorous moments that he is known for and the chemistry between himself and Bryce Dallas Howard (Claire) only grows in an even more intense way as they realize that they truly are the parents of the “world” that must be saved. The other question, who do they really need saving from and what is the real answer to their survival.
One scene stealer is that of the little girl, Maisie who shares a special connection to that of the dinosaurs, though one doesn’t know exactly what it is until the end, the expression on the actress, Isabella Sermon is exceptional. One can definitely see why she was cast to play the “daughter” of the original little girl from the first Jurassic Park film. In many ways, her addition to the film, brings the Jurassic Park franchise full circle with the picture in the mansion that paid homage to the original founder the park, the late Richard Attenborough (Hammond) to that of the little girl, Lex who attempted to save the dinosaurs with her brother in the first film. As this is Sermon’s first debut film she is starring in, one can definitely keep an eye to see if she branches out to any more films. She’s got a knack for not only expression but portraying sympathy in more ways then one.
The film captures the same emotion as all the Jurassic Films including adventure, suspense, humor and of course one can not leave out a little romance that Pratt is known for. It’s the perfect addition to anyone’s summer movie must see list. Don’t believe me though, one must see it for themselves to make their own educated decision. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom came out in theaters June 22, 2018 and is currently playing in a theater near you.
“Passengers” Review

The problem is they wake up 90 years to soon when the ship, set on autopilot, is struck by an unidentified object that causes a series of malfunctions to go off in the ship, jeopardizing the life of all 500 passengers aboard.
Now it’s up to Pratt and Lawrence to figure out how to set things right and ultimately figure out life aboard the ship.
At just about 2 hour run time, Passengers will have audiences sitting on the edge of their seats as it is a race against time to figure out how to save everyone and make a life for themselves at the same time.
