Movie Review: Jurassic World

They definitely spared no expense this time around

As a kid, I loved the original Jurassic Park. I've been told by my parents that I would watch that movie hundreds of times. I remember having tons of Jurassic Park themed toys and dinosaur related objects just because the original movie managed to create an unfathomable magic about those giant extinct lizards.

Unfortunately for the Jurassic Park franchise, the movies got worse and worse, failing to reignite the majesty and wonder that the original had. In a sense, my childhood took a hard beating and it didn't look to recover itself. So with the news that another Jurassic Park movie would be coming out, skepticism was at an all time high. There's no way this new movie could be better than the original, in fact there's no possible way this could even be any good whatsoever.

I was right though, it wasn't as good as the original. However I was wrong...incredibly wrong when I thought that this movie might end up being a train wreck. Jurassic World managed to be an incredible adventure that successfully reignited my love for the original. In short, I was blown away.

Movie Review: Tomorrowland

It's been a while but I finally have some time to sit down and write my review of Tomorrowland, the new film by Disney and director Brad Bird.

Well, 'new' might be a little bit of an overstatement, the movie came out a while ago. Nontheless, I believe it deserves to be reviewed like any other film despite the period of time between me watching it and finally sitting down and writing about it.

Long story short, Tomorrowland is pretty mediocre. It starts off as a story about adventure and quickly folds into itself as a very preachy kind of movie that tries to teach it's audience a lesson, but doesn't do so in a successful manner.

The start of a very...mediocre adventure

Movie Review: Mad Max: Fury Road

What a lovely day indeed

John Wick, Dredd and Mad Max: Fury Road all have one thing in common, and it's that these three movies have managed to bring about a renaissance of what I like to call the 'one sequence' action flick. Going into Mad Max, I wasn't expecting to be as blown as away as I was. I was looking forward to seeing a balls to the wall crazy action flick about a bunch of crazy people fighting with frankenstein cars. Well, I basically got that, but with 100 times more insanity and I loved it.
