Jurassic World

Midway through Jurassic World, two young brothers come across a storage building that’s essentially a crypt full of artifacts from Steven Spielberg’s 1993 smash hit Jurassic Park. Moldering away in there is the boxy 1992 Jeep Wrangler in which Laura Dern so memorably fled the Tyrannosaurus rex. (You can learn how to soup up your own vehicle to resemble it, if your affection for Jurassic Park runs that deep.) An old Jurassic Park banner—not unlike the one that drifts ironically past the T. Rex at the climax of the first movie—gets rolled up by the older boy to be used as a torch—an old prop turned fuel for the new movie’s purposes. In Jurassic World, director Colin Trevorrow—a surprise pick for the job, given that his only previous dramatic feature was the modest sci-fi indie Safety Not Guaranteedpays homage to the Spielberg original even as he mulches it. But from that mulch grows a pretty robust hybrid, for both good and ill—which I guess is appropriate for a film that’s all about the joy and stupidity of bringing back dinosaurs.
