Jurassic World

There is no denying 'Jurassic World' was a box office hit. The 'Jurassic Park ' franchise never seems to fail at exciting the public. Eventually, like all things, people will unfortunately grow tired of dinosaurs but today is not that day. Although some new dinosaurs may have been added on actors changed the plots never disappoint. The first 'Jurassic Park' movie was truly cinematic genius with effects that were far more advanced than its time. A mixture of anamatronics, suits and CGI dinosaurs were used to complete this iconic film. Any close-ups on the velociraptors were mostly actors in hand painted silicone suits for a better effect; the only scene in 'Jurassic World' in which the velociraptors are not actors in full body suits is when they're shown feeding near the beginning of the movie. They are CGI raptors but actors were stood in their places so the animators knew where to put them. The velociraptors in the 'Jurassic Park' franchise or not even velociraptors but in fact are called deinonychus, a lesser known fact.

A film's success is measured and how much it makes at the box office, how many awards it wins and how popular it appears to be online. 'Jurassic World' made $1 billion in only 13 days at the box office, the fastest film to do so ever. It beat 'Furious 7' as it made it $1 billion in 17 days earlier on in the year. So far the film has brought $402.8 millions to the U.S box office alone. 

The 'Indominus Rex', I feel, was the main reason why 'Jurassic World' had so much success. Just like the movie suggests, a new dinosaur always attracts more people. Just like in 'Jurassic Park 3' when the spinosaurus was introduced. 'Jurassic World' claims that the 'Indominus Rex' was the park's first hybrid when technically all the dinosaurs are hybrids. According to the first 'Jurassic Park' instalment the dinosaur DNA code was not complete so the gaps were filled with frog DNA. The 'Indominus Rex' is a T-Rec crossed with a velociraptor but also has chameleon characteristics. This means that it can camouflage itself and regulate body temperature. 

There were a few mistakes in 'Jurassic World' that I am surprised more people have not picked up on. For example, in the 'Indominus Rex's' enclosure there is a large glass window. For a dinosaur that can easily break through huge steel gates, a glass window should not have been able to contain it. Especially when it supposedly has the higher intelligence of the velociraptor. So if a film's success is measured by it mistakes, 'Jurassic World' might not have been so popular. 

In conclusion, although 'Jurassic World' had its fair share of mishaps, it's clever plot lines and talented cast made sure it pulled through. Just like how 'Jurassic Park 1' all began with a T-Rex, 'Jurassic World' ended with one; a clever Easter egg for long-term fans.
