Jurassic World [Blu-ray]

I watched this movie in the theaters and enjoyed it. To be honest there were some things that I didn't like about this movie. When they first introduced the sea dinosaur I quite literally thought to myself that somehow it was going to be the "savior" of the movie based on how the other movies went. I just rewatched the movie and felt like it was even better than it was when I first saw it... Afterwards I went and read a lot of reviews, especially the one star reviews... And I have a lot of things that I want to comment on them... yes, some scenes how super awesome amazing cgi that suddenly transitioned into bad cgi scenes in the blink of an eye. Well even the best well funded movies and tv shows have this issue, so get over that... Then there is the obvious hate on the whole training the raptors thing, well what they forget is that humans are nothing more than instinct driven animals that quite literally can be trained by their own pets. So you can totally train a raptor to follow orders. Then the next most common complaint was that the raptors turned on the humans... Hello, raptors are just as if not more intelligent than humans, so when the really giant dinosaur that speaks their language appears, your probably going to listen to your instincts who would be saying that you turn on the humans or your going to die. There is also the simple fact raptors are the most socially advanced creatures we know of to ever walk the planet, surpassing even humans... I honestly think the only scene that is even cliché at all is the whole bit with the t rex, they already used that scene In the third movie where the spineosourus out manuvers the t rex and breaks its neck... Mr. Indominus rex gets ahold of the t rex and its the whole scene again only the clearly far more intelligent dinosaur doesn't kill the t rex, makes a rookie mistake, tries taking on a half dead t rex and a half dead raptor and loses by the means of a water creature that is clearly the most dangerous thing in the park. That is the only bad thing I can say about this movie as the rest is solid with the way humans actually do behave... What this movie portrays is one of the darker sides of human nature... In fact I love these movies because the idea of resurrecting these animals for profit and entertainment is very much a real idea that is being investigated by companies around the world. now, lets get back to the movie... Excellent cgi, a decent storyline, fairly accurate human portrayal, probably accurate dinosaur portrayal?, the obvious cliché man and woman fall in love through tragic events, and of course The best stars any movie can ever have (Dinosaurs) make this a great film for those who can appreciate it.

Great exciting movie

My sons all-time favorite movie. He's a huge dinosaur fan that's why I went ahead and purchased it while it was on sale instead of renting it again now he can watch it whenever and wherever he wants.

The story was a bit forced in places. But the cast was wonderful, love Chris Pratt.What I loved was that the women are feminine but strong, the men were men doing what men do. It was a diverse movie but not forced like most of the Hollywood slop these days. I would ask that Hollywood take notes from this movie on how to do it but was all know, that they just want to watch the world burn.

This review is for the Limited Edition gift set, and does not review the movie itself. I don't pretend to be a film critic, and obviously I like the movie or I wouldn't have bought an LE.The box itself is sturdy, with a large clear plastic display showing the figures posed. I like the attention to detail in giving the inside of the box a background, making the box into a diorama. The figures are detailed, with good textures and crisp shapes and edges, even on small features like the individual teeth. They have individual bases and could be posed nicely on your nerd trophy shelf if you choose to unbox them; that's clearly what they had in mind, and it's a nice reference to the existence of exactly such a trophy shelf in the movie itself.The disc set included is the same as the Limited Edition without the gift set figures. It's a round tin with the Jurassic World logo on the lid, each disc in separate paper sleeves; the sleeves aren't so bad actually, it's better than a complicated booklet where the discs have to be taken out in batches. It comes with a flimsy paper "base" to give it a flat bottom, but it appears that this is just a leftover of packaging for displaying the LE in shelves, as it really doesn't affix to the tin in any way and would be practically useless for shelving the round tin. Fortunately the boxed set just has a nest for the tin on one side, so you don't have to remove the figures to watch the movie, and it can be replaced and stored/displayed that way. The special features are there, and not particularly disappointing, but it's standard disc release stuff.Of minor note, the marketing on-disc is mildly obnoxious. I remember when DVDs had no previews, and it seemed skip functions had buried them for good, but this one has so many the trailers have chapters! Not only that, but the disc menu has a marketing ticker enabled by default, though this can be disabled in the setup menu. This is starting to tread dangerous ground with intrusive marketing on products you paid to own, and I do not approve.Despite those gripes, the figures are impressive enough and amazon is listing this at a price comparable to regular 3D releases of many movies so that I can't help but be happy with it. If you like fancy boxed sets, this is a nice one.
