Movie Review: "Jurassic World"
I don't usually go to summer blockbuster-type movies. I don't know the last one I went to. Until Friday.Erma came down to hang out with me, and we decided to see "Jurassic World." The other movie that I figured she would've liked to see was "Pitch Perfect 2," but thankfully she had already seen that. Not the kind of movie I wanted to pay theater prices for (especially since this would be full price, not matinee - I also don't know the last time I did that). "Jurassic World" is much more of a big screen movie (and there's something about Anna Kendrick that annoys me).
I enjoyed it. It was just plain fun to be at that kind of movie, and of course, we were right that it's a big screen movie. Not much to say about it, as it's a Jurassic movie, so there's not much of a plot, but I will say that I find it humorous that Erma and I were more concerned about the unrealisticness of a woman running from dinosaurs in high heels than about whether or not it was realistic that she was running from dinosaurs. Also, I don't see Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard (and especially not their characters) together - another thing that was more 'yeah, right' than dinosaurs.
Overall, though, it was fun, and I would recommend it to anyone up for some summer frivolity.

It's just hard not to see him as the guy in Parks and Rec, whose name is currently is escaping me. Is it Andy?? Anyway...
Re: Anna Kendrick, I think the reason is, "People annoy me." :P
"Summer frivolity" reminds me of something -- oh. Professor McGonagall. :D
i've never seen him in anything else, so this was all new to me (by the way, josh groban got booted from my list) ;)
and hehe, yes, professor mcgonagall :)
oh! he was in 'moneyball'! he was the woo-woo one i thought looked like he could actually be a baseball player. just imagine how woo-woo he'd be in a twins uniform instead of an a's one... ;)
I agree with all your points here. The heels were ridiculous. As was the whole movie, really. But still fun. I never would've chosen it on my own, so I guess I'm glad Smitty picked it for her birthday movie.
I heard an interview on NPR with the guy they hired as their "dinosaur consultant". He was the same guy who did the dinosaur special effects in the original movie. He basically said near the end that the movie had no real plot and was all about the special effects. :-)
Yes, Professor McGonagall!!!
And I LOVED "Inside Out" by Pixar!!!!!!! Wanna see it again!!
of course there was no plot and it was all about the special effects. it's a summer blockbuster. :)
