Jurassic World
Directed by Colin Trevorrow
Starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D’Onofrio
The Zeitgeist: 71%
Obviously we’re not in Spielberg territory here but Jurassic World is a much better film than we expected. Colin Treverrow jumps from indie to blockbuster with ease and the cast are totally on-point. In fact Chris Pratt is, in some ways, the best lead the franchise has ever had. Overall it’s a much more conventional affair than the original, and plays it very safe, but it’s a solid reboot and stands up both on its own merits and also as the foundation for a lighter and more humorous franchise moving forwards.
