Cinephile No. 514 "Jurassic World"

"Jurassic World" sponsored by Mercedes, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, Jeep, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, Pandora, Verizon, Pepsi, Samsung and the Tonight Show proved bigger is not necessarily better. And I know this defies logic. If we take everything audiences loved about the original "Jurassic Park" and make it bigger, cleaner and better to look at, shouldn't it equate to a better movie? Simply, the answer is no. Why? Because this movie fell into the trap of all sequels; the battle of original thought. A bigger park isn't original. A bigger predator isn't original. A lone hero who plays by his own rules isn't original. "Jurassic World" was "Jurassic Park" on steroids, but like most bodybuilders, it is hard to be known for anything else than just being bigger.
