More than 20 years after the disaster in Jurassic Park, Isla Nublar houses another theme park, Jurassic World. Its owners have developed a new horrific hybrid dinosaur, Indominus rex, which breaks out of its paddock before they can unveil it. The fourth movie in the franchise is more a reboot than a sequel. Like Jurassic Park, it features a couple of kids whose fun trip to the theme park turns into a nightmare. And when all hell breaks loose, the bad guys get killed and the good guys mostly get spared. Nevertheless, this is an entertaining and suspenseful disaster movie, especially when you compare it to parts II and III. Followed by Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
