8 Facts You Might Want To Know About Jurassic World







8. 14 years in the making.
         Jurassic World was set to dominate the world in 2005, midst of summer, but ended up showing this 2015. This 14-year-in-the-making film have undergone a series of script revisions and casts selection. They also used a lot of CGI's instead of animatronics. New casts and new director under Collin Trevorrow. Everything is new!




7. Jurassic World is within reach through a decent website.
         The marketing and promotion people created a viral site for fans, as Masrani Global Corporation, so they could visit the park itself, learn more about dinosaurs and interact with the alter realistic personnel behind this. With the main tabs as  About, Careers, Jurassic World, Media, Investors, and InGen, surely this website can make the movie franchise like a living prehistoric. And people can apply for a position too, if desire. What? It's really worth a great of effort.





6.  The hunting returns on Isla Nublar.
         Unlike the two sequel (Jurassic Park 2 and 3), the Jurassic World was built back on Isla Nublar where it all began. In the movie, the first established main base was now a relic in a savage jungle, destroyed by the raged of T-rex way back. Just a little respect for the banner that Nick Robinson burned into torch to enlighten the dimmed place. Man! That's consider remains of the first disaster of Jurassic Park. It was a history.





5. John Hammond transferred his supremacy to Simon Masrani as the new CEO.
         After Richard Attenborough, the guy behind the portrayal of John Hammond, died at the age of 90, we can't consider a moving Hammond through the work of CGI. So for the glory of the Jurassic franchise, providing a new disastrous man will continue the intensity. Embodied by Irrfan Khan, Simon Masrani has got all the power to conduct the operation of making Jurassic Park possible again. Well, the difference between Masrani and Hammond, aside from the race, was the fact that Hammond survived the dinosaurs, and the misfortune case for Masrani after the helicopter crashed. Tsk tsk. What a bad luck.





4. I shall return by Dr. Henry Wu.
         His first cameo role in Jurassic Park "Extinction" as the chief geneticist of InGen, Dr. Henry Wu played by B.D Wong, has a reprise role in Jurassic World. Don't underestimate the power of cameos, they may continue existing after 22 years. They could have the longest role even if their exposures were bit short. Now, he's the reason of the existence of Indominus Rex. His role is larger noooow!! Way to go!





3. The existence of the never existed dinosaur.
         We are all familiar with the veteran Tyrannosaurus Rex who ruled the world million years ago, and guess what? She's up with a dino fight with the newly created monster, a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex. This man-created dino is so intelligent that even man cannot fathom though. I was just quite surprised that the claws of Indominus rex are pretty much bigger and sharper, but how could the T-rex managed to survive it when she didn't in Spinosaurus'? So Jurassic Park 3 had deprived supremacy for T-rex? Oh boy! In addition, did I see a hybrid Pterodactyl as well?





2. Velociraptors are tamed.
         Say what?! These raptors are being taken care of by Owen, the trainer and considered alpha, for military reason. So it tells us that it's okay to pet a carnivore because they can always be nourished and somewhat domesticated if persisted? Anyway, they did not cause any vexation here.






1. Jurassic Park 5 is possible!
          Simply because, in the film, Dr. Wu helicoptered off the island with the dinosaurs' embryos, protecting his research. With all the destruction of the park, the plot will circulate again with the dinosaurs roaming and hunting around the island. Tell me if I have misunderstood the hidden meaning and predicting a wrong one. I don't think so. This is just the new beginning of the modernized and reopened park.

Movie Review: Jurassic World Roars As 4th Installment Of The Jurassic Franchise







Jurassic World is the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park series. During its opening weekend, the film instantly broke the record of The Avengers, and Fast and Furious 7 as the highest-grossing film, and in international markets as well. It is also the first film that grossed $500 million worldwide. It scaled its claws on Philippine cinema last June 10, 2015, and June 12 on Northern America.

The film was originally planned to release in 2005, but went over a decade as revision of script and intricate development took the production.





 The first Jurassic Park film was shown in 1993 with an "Extinction" subtitle. The second with a subordinate title as "The Lost World" filmed in 1997, and in 2001, the third installment was directed by Joe Johnston, as Jurassic Park 3. Steven Spielberg primarily directed the first two parts, and produced the third one. And now, Jurassic Park roars back with a "Jurassic World" print. It took 14 years before the fourth installment happened, due to the sensitive development that went reversible.

Different Hollywood reports proclaimed in 2013 that the Jurassic Park will have its fourth part in 2015 under new director, Colin Trevorrow, with few details and information as changes still occurred that time. Speculations from netizens emerged that Jurassic Park will feature monsters living in the water and will dominate as "Waterwold", which was somehow true because of the appearance of Mosasaurus. But in 2014, another official report was released that Jurassic Park was in great effect and probably in right production to conquer the Isla Nublar again. To end the hunches and predictions of the fans, they finally revealed how and what it's gonna be like. Sam Neill even announced that he's not coming back to join the the fourth part, neither Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern.




Jurassic World features a fully functional dinosaur theme park located on Isla Nublar (where Jurassic Park 1 happened; Jurassic Park 2 and 3 was shot on Isla Sorna, site B). After twenty two years, InGen is back on operation with their skilled geneticist, Dr. Wu, who has a reprise role from the franchise, and with the new cast Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) as the Park's Operation Manager. Due to the multitudinous number of people coming to visit the park, they went to creating a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur called Indominus Rex, to keep their attraction on load, but haven't introduced to the public yet due to several testing and inspection regarding its hunting behavior. They were supposed to exhibit two Indominus, but the older I-rex ate her sibling before it hatched. The Indominus Rex was made from the DNA of several dinosaurs, mostly predatory, with another two DNA's from cuttlefish and unidentified tree frog. Through camouflaging and intelligence to deceive the securities, it escaped its paddock, killed two InGen securities, and in hunt towards the jungle and theme park, causing chaos, death and destruction of the whole park. 

To give highlights, one of the most amusing part in this fourth installment was the taming of Velociraptors, which at first, I thought would be vacuous because raptors are the most intelligent dinosaur, and ain't like dogs that can be trained. We're talking about proper domestication here. They have been used for military purpose such as hunting back the ferocious Indominus Rex. Through following the scent of the I-rex in the jungle, the raptors led Owen (Chris Patt) and the other soldiers where it hides. However, the Indominus Rex can secretly communicate with the raptors, turning them against Owen and the soldiers and killed most of them.

Furthermore, the extreme part was the battle of the Jurassic titans, where the adept and battle-scarred Tyrannosaurus Rex fights against the genetically modified Indominus Rex with the help of  Blue, the only raptor who survived the onslaught. Claire freed the T-rex to lure and have a fang-to-fang fight with I-rex after she got the idea from Gray (Ty Simpkins) when he said "we need more teeth". Claire ordered to open the enclosure of the T-rex, ran with a flare towards the I-rex. The two dinosaurs met and grabbed each other with a neck bite. Every bite and scratch from the two giants leave deep wounds on them. When the T-rex stumbled due to the wounds it got from I-rex, Blue came for a rescue, cawing and jumped over the back of I-rex, causing distraction. Just when the moment I thought the T-rex would lose its battle against the same giant as what had happened back in Jurassic Park 3, it stood up and devoured the neck of the Indominus. The fight between the I-rex, T-rex and raptor ended up when they forced the Indominus rex towards the lagoon, and the Mosasaur suddenly appeared. Dragged the I-rex from the neck down to the water and drowned it. The T-rex ,which we all know, as one of the worst enemies of raptors, left the park without provoking each other.

Supreme ending!


Jurassic Park has been my favorite since I was a kid. I'm actually an avid fan and I've memorized the lines of each character. When I heard about the Jurassic World, I was one of those fans who's ecstatically happy. The new film was jaw-dropping and marvelous! It's worth the wait. I was bit worried that the CGI of the 4th one might look repulsive or hideous because of the first trailer that had been shown, but gladly it wasn't the exact thought, I guess they made few changes as the first trailer though was tentative. Story flow was great and justifying. Everything was astounding and remarkable, most especially the newly introduced dinosaurs. The T-rex and raptors never missed any single appearance from the franchise, which is a big no no if they have obliterated them on the scene. Regarding the ending, it would be greater to see the Mosasaur eating the Indominus Rex under the water pieces into pieces after wagging it. The very last part was thrilling and stimulating for a fan like me to see the T-rex roars facing the disfigured and damaged park. It was tearful to see that kind of ending so exact as what they've had from the previous, whether it's a Pterodactyl's caw or a T-rex's roar . It brought back my childhood memories with the film.







I made this illustration due to my addiction to dinosaurs, most especially to T-rex,




Hoping for a 5th part after 4 years :)
