Review: Jurassic World

Another outing for this missus-pleasing favourite.  It's twenty years since the events of the first movies and Jurassic Park World is thriving. But like any business it's struggling to find the next big thing. The next big thing in their terms happens to be a genetically modified uber-beast.

It is not too long before things go awry and the Swiss cheese failure model comes into play.  I was surprised at the effectiveness of this new outing as returning to the well isn't always successful - especially so long after the last movie. This feels fresh and original and is a strong contender for best of the series.  I liked the sly subverting of the original baddie as well as the various plot borrows - most noticeably - from Aliens.

Verdict: Old magic recaptured.
