Jurassic World Movie Analysis
Jurassic World, the latest installment in the blockbuster series about an amusement park filled with living dinosaurs, comes out in theaters today, and while I had really high hopes for the film, it was just too unrealistic to be enjoyable. If scientists really had discovered how to bring back species that had gone extinct 65 million years ago, and then put those species in an island amusement park, concessions at the park would be much, much more expensive.
Now, I'm not a professional movie critic by any means, but being the Associate Manager of Concessions for Busch Gardens Tampa, FL, I do know a thing or two about concessions, and the filmmakers just flat out got this one wrong. $4.50 for a thing of Dippin' Dots?! At a theme park filled with pre-historic giant lizards?! We charge $8.50 for those at the stand by Jambo Junction, and all Jambo Junction has is flamingos and lemurs.

I get that. It's not like Jurassic World is a documentary. Filmmakers need to take certain liberties in the name of storytelling. Not every little detail has to be true to life and accurate. But, when the underlying logic of a movie is so glaringly flawed, it just completely ruins the experience. How am I supposed to suspend my disbelief when the corndog stand next to the Mosasaurus tank is barely charging enough to break even, or when turkey legs are practically selling for supermarket prices outside of the Apatosaurus

    Watching the movie Indiana Jones The Raiders of the Lost Ark was great to feel like you're there. And you can tell there a relationship between Jones and Marion because they seem to have already met and have a past relationship and to pick up back where they left off and helping with that happening in the movie helped me find the theme of the movie i’m not gonna lie was very difficult but I found a couple of possible themes one theme I picked was action. Action because there was a lot of action in the movie with all the fighting, guns, fire, and jumping i thought that if they took out of that then the movie would be like ten to five minutes long. Another theme i thought was a possibility was mystery. Mystery because they go on hunts for treasure…

    The film Transformers Age Of Extinction, By Ehren Kruger is one of the best films that is ever been made. There have been other transformer movies like it that has been released, but none of them is like this one. The definition of the movie was outstanding and the sound effects are perfect. The special effects of this movie was awesome by itself. This movie showed great action and great suspense and the places where it was filmed are perfect. The name of this movie spoke for itself in this movie. In this movie they had the robots transform into dinosaurs from the past life. Which gave it a little more of a twist because it was suppose to be the future, but some of the robots transformed into past animals which then turned the movie into the age of the past. Transformers Age Of Extinction is the best action movie ever made because of the special effects, sound effects, and photography shots.…

    Because the mosquito was preserved in tree sap, they are able to get a genetic code. To take the code and make a dinosaur out of it they run the codes through supercomputers filling in the breaks in the code with frog DNA. Because the codes were run through the computers, the people at jurassic park weren't fully aware of what was really going on in the labs, causing severe problems in the system. From the beginning to the end of the book John Hammond is intentionally oblivious the dangers at the park. To him, whether or not the reanimation of dinosaurs is ethical or smart doesn’t matter to him as long as his lifelong dream to make dinosaurs walk to Earth again is accomplished. Hammond is also keen to the idea of having minimal staff, and to have the park ran mostly through supercomputers, unaware of the glitches in the systems that will later cause disastrous results to the park. Unlike Hammond, Ian Malcolm is positive the park will fail, ending with serious consequences, or so says the “chaos theory” that he specializes in. After a technical sabotage caused by Dennis Nedry, in his attempt to steal dinosaur embryos, the whole park starts to go downhill from there, following exactly along with Ian’s…

    By showing clips of emotional kids and interviewing the visitors at the park when events went wrong during the show, it connects to the audience of the film. The lack of emotion that SeaWorld seemed to show towards the fatalities and injuries was also a key point in how SeaWorld has not gone about its business in the correct way. It seemed at the filmmakers made it a key point in the film to humanize the killer whales and show the audience that the inhumane conditions they were held in led to their violent measures and not the instincts they have of being an 8,000 pound sea creature. This humanizing caught the eye of viewers and appealed there emotion on the side of the whales and dislike towards the SeaWorld’s of the world.…

    Entertainment was a very important thing for Americans during the depression years. People would turn on the radio and forget about their worries for a short period of time, but it was better than nothing. Like The Wizard of Oz, War of the Worlds, and Gone with the Wind, Angels with Dirty Faces was a very popular, enjoyable movie for the American people. Even though it was loved, it was different from the rest. It was a gangster movie with a twist.…

    It is this separation from the rest of the world that causes them to question their identity and existence. Zakharieva discusses how the monster in Branagh’s film questions who he is, if he has a soul. While in Jurassic World it is said that the dinosaur is contemplating her own existence and figuring out where she fits in the food chain. Both monster and dinosaur are trying to find their place in society and the world, but react violently. The destruction caused by these creatures turns them evil in the eyes of the audience and other characters. As explained in Zakharieva’s essay, the 1994 monster’s violent acts are cruel and unmotivated; mirroring this is the 2015 film’s comment from Owen Grady that the Indominus Rex is killing for sport. Our fear of the unknown, the unreasoned, the unexplainable is expressed through the reaction to the unprovoked murders in both films. In the novel Shelley explains the monster’s reasoning and thought process behind his killings while the 1994 film, as Zakharieva examines, shows his violence as spontaneous and cruel. Branagh’s and Trevorrow’s films are more frightening because we fear the unexplained, like the reason behind the creatures’…

    Jurassic World is just one of the many movies in Hollywood that has had major technology advances since the original film. Jurassic World still follows the storyline of Jurassic Park, while not only adding gruesome effects to the dinosaurs but also transforming the park to look more modern and look like today's idea of a theme park. In fact the whole theme park is built on technology. For example, the rides, ways of transportation, and the different equipment used to monitor and even create some of the most horrific dinosaurs.…

    Countless individuals have fond memories of zoo or aquarium visits, circus shows, and other entertainment outlets involving captive animals; however, the enjoyment of these outlets dissipates rapidly once one looks further behind the scenes of these organizations. Places like SeaWorld, Ringling Brother’s Circus, and countless zoos across America are notorious for their mistreatment of animals. Throughout the last several decades, “organized amusement zones” have become a pivotal source of recreation and leisure worldwide. When the first SeaWorld opened in San Diego back in 1959, it rapidly became etched into the city’s landscape, and its popularity escalated the chain construction of replica parks across America. The undeviating demand of these parks intended for entertainment often surpass the harmful effects such locations can create on their inhabitant organisms (Hogan 772). Captivity in zoos, circuses, and other entertainment outlets have been shown to be highly detrimental to…

    You would think that a movie about the extinction of life on Earth would be serious. Not so. The best description of Armageddon is an action-adventure film sprinkled with comedy. Every effort is made to excite and entertain. No effort is made to educate or inform. Scientific accuracy is tossed out the window. The laws of physics are continually violated in order to maximize the drama. What happened to the good old movie classics that tried to teach us something about life?…
