Movie #1134 .........................."Jurassic World"

Movie #1134 "Jurassic World" was a very entertaining movie I wish I would have seen on a much larger screen than the one I did.  But even so, I enjoyed the special effects, the story and the acting.  I esp. liked watching Nick Robinson, the older boy Zach, because I have seen one of his indie films ("Kings of Summer") several times now , and it was fun seeing him and Jake Johnson (from "New Girl") in something different.  Speaking of different, the two leads, Dallas Bryce Howard and Chris Pratt were also playing leads in an action film, both different from their typical movie roles, so it was fun to watch them passionately work to save these two kids.   Finally, watching Omar Sy (the lead from a much loved film entitled "The Untouchables") as a trainer for velociraptors showed to me his capability as an actor!  Besides the acting,  the film was very scary to me because the dinosaurs look so real!  I esp. enjoyed the bubble scene with the kids.  The deaths were pretty gruesome, so parents should follow the PG 13 rating here --- in fact, one woman is picked up and dragged around in the air and shoved into water, etc.  And  watching the flying dinos make their way through the park, poking out eyes, reminded me of  the terror in the Hitchcock "Birds" movie --- always unsettling to watch for me.  But on the whole, I enjoyed everything but the ending here.  The ending seemed to go on and on with the violence........it was also hard to believe that the velociraptors would show they cared so much for the Pratt character......and where was everyone else?  Why was it left just in the hands of this one core family?  It bordered on silly and hard to believe.  Other than that, an excellent film, esp. with special effects.  These Jurassic Park movies just get better and better in that department!
