making the a door to an enclosure 1) able to opened from the inside and 2) big enough to let a massive dinosaur out when another enclosure for a group of similarly dangerous dinos uses a pseudo-airlock system.
If you can accept this monumental stupidity on the part of the park designers (and many other smaller issues), the movie is tolerable to enjoyable.

nobody, from the park administrator, to the pen builders, to the containment unit sent to capture it, to the company CEO/President would be able to find out what animals the new dino was made up from.
The movie is definitely dumb and full of cringe worthy dialogue (so many instances of zooming in on somebodies face to say some stupid one liner). Having said that, it can definitely be fun. IMO, Pratt is the only interesting human character sadly.
I thought it was pretty generic action blockbuster. The only interesting thing is comparing it to the first movie. In my opinion, this one is far weaker because unlike the first, there was no sense of optimism and wonder at the beginning. What made Jurassic Park a decent movie was the shift from wonderment and excitement, to darkness and tragedy, back to a reflective peace at the end. This movie lacked the crucial first phase, and just jumped right in like "look, dinosaurs and danger and menace!". Like prematurely blowing its load. There we go, worthless review for pretty much worthless movie.

This is probably how i'd rate it too.
I went in to see a movie about the hubris of humanity and dinosaurs, mostly dinosaurs though. And i got dinosaur's worth all the money i spent on my ticket.
CG was good and after the story got rolling there was almost non-stop dinosaur action until it ended. Also it was definitely full of homages to the first movie.
Since i didn't expect anything from the story and just wanted dinosaurs i was entertained through and through. If you want to go watch it, go watch it for the dinosaurs.

Edit: Added trailer that actually shows the dinosaur. Why the fuck would they make a hybrid out of the two most dangerous dinosaurs instead of say two plant eating dinosaurs? Fucking retards.
The answer is obvious, and every bit as silly as you would think: (Careful, this is the big spoiler of the whole movie, even though they club you over the head with it a dozen times before the big reveal...) + Show Spoiler +
In-Gen paid for the dinosaur to be genetically engineered as a super killing machine that they could sell for military applications.

yep, went in with expectations like this and had a good time.
would I watch it again? no but it was nice to look at real looking dinosaurs =D chris pratt was pretty good too. had a few laughs
chris pratt was ok, but the writing was just too weak. best part of the movie was all the in-jokes. and i hate to be that guy, but why do they make every dinosaur so fucking unrealistic? no feathers, same ridiculously big velociraptors.... and that mosasaur was ridiculous- reminded me of the liopleurodons from BBC (that were like 3x their actual size)
A big thing I hate about these movies is how they think it's a good idea to have the final battle IN THE FUCKING DARK so you can never really tell WTF is going on.
Seriously, is it that hard to render CGI in daylight. And why the fuck are dinosaurs never injured by machine gun fire?

This is actually explained in the movie. They don't have feathers because people don't expect them to have feathers and the genetic engineers give the people what they want.

Same. And I could've told you 2 minutes after his appearance on screen that Mr. Raptors-are-Weapons was going to be eaten alive at some point toward the end of the movie. Simple enjoyment right there.
I feel pretty ambivalent about Jurassic World's success. On the one hand, dinosaurs. On the other hand, there will be no reason to improve all the blunders since the overwhelming majority came for the dinosaurs.

Jurassic World set box office records to become the first movie to gross 500m worldwide in one weekend!
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4068&p=.htm Doubling the original weekend estimate proffered by Universal Jurassic World is now coming in at a reported $204.6M ($204,596,380) for its opening weekend, the 2nd biggest of all time, taking an Express Pass by this May's Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.2M) and almost catching Marvel's The Avengers ($207.4).
World, which nicely also doubled as a confirmation that Chris Pratt is an A-list lead, pulled in a healthy $47.8K per theater in 4,274 venues. That number just makes it the best top weekend theater average over The Avengers' $47.7K average.
Also stunning is the $307.2M the film made overseas for a cumulative $511.8M worldwide opening, which is the highest global bow in history, and not by some slim margin. It is the first time a film has ever grossed more than $500 million in one weekend. That foreign box office is the second- highest international opening in history, behind Warner Bros. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 at $314M. Jurassic World can also claim the title of Universal's highest-grossing international weekend by a large margin, beating the previous record holder Furious 7 with $250.4M
Not only is Jurassic World the biggest opening domestic weekend that Universal has ever had (the next closest film is Furious 7 with $147.1M) it's the biggest that co-financier Legendary has ever had, which includes the Dark Knight films.
Jurassic World outperformed even the most optimistic of forecasts for the last four days, surprising nearly everyone. Its $82.8M Friday was the third best Friday opening on record, with only Age of Ultron ($84.4M) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 ($91M) still ahead of it.
Universal put Saturday at $69.7 million so that means they're estimating today's take at $52.1M for a total of $204.6.
Things look rosy for the film in the future as well with an "A" Cinema Score, with audience attendance splitting up 52% Male and 48% female. 39% were under age 25 and 61% age 25 and over. Approximately 50% of the international box office came from 3D.
Just watched Jurassic World and the nostalgia was legendary... I loved dinosaurs as a kid. The plot was pretty meh, but if you liked JP, you'll like JW.
I know that my biology/ archaeology friends strongly dislike the dinosaur CGI and inaccuracies (and I always feel the same way when other movies are wrong about factoids), but my ten year old self is giving a pass to Jurassic World. Plus, the mad scientist in the movie (BD Wong) even dropped a line about how these dinosaurs aren't accurate, but that they're created the way most people think of them, to attract customers.

It was not G, it was PG13. I saw it today and it was a fun movie, entertaining with great FX. Acting was serviceable and the characters were believable. Bad guy was a bit weak. It's all forgiven for the awesome dinosaurs. I took my 14 yo and he loved it, dad did too.
I would rate it 2nd behind the original but better than 2 and 3.
