Trivia

In the original film, the park was run by Richard Attenborough, an actor-turned-director. In this film it is run by Bryce Dallas Howard, whose father, Ron Howard, is also an actor-turned-director. Her uncle, Clint Howard, also appeared in a dinosaur film: 1993's Carnosaur (1993), which also featured Diane Ladd, mother of Jurassic Park (1993) cast member Laura Dern.

Goofs

(at around 12 mins) Earlier in the movie, a comment is made that all of the animals are 'fitted' with a device to shock them in submission if they escape from their paddock (the device fails on the Pachycephalosaurus because their butting heads short-circuits the device). When the flying dinosaurs escape from the aviary, the device should have stunned all of them as they flew from the enclosure. Or, the humans back in the control room should have activated the device to stun the creatures instead of watching them attack the crowds.

User Reviews

One of my favorite movies of all time.

I was coming into the movie with very high expectations and came out with the movie exceeding my expectations! Jurassic World is now one of my favorite movies of all time. The action sequences are intense and plentiful. The special effects are top notch. The music is wonderful(and not just John William's famous themes; Michael Giacchino's score is excellent as well.) And while the characters may not be as developed as in the original Jurassic Park, they are interesting in their own right. Chris Pratt does a great job as Owen, the raptor trainer, and Bryce Dallas Howard does excellent as Claire, the head of the park. One of my favorite "characters" though is the underwater dinosaur Mosasaur. (Every time it jumps out of the pool it's freaking awesome!) Even though a lot of people have called this movie predictable, it had a lot of twists and turns that were surprising, especially the ending. Without spoiling it, the ending sequence is one of the most epic endings that I can remember in any movie. The ending will give any true Jurassic Park fan chills.
