1. INTRODUCTION
Jurassic World is a 2015 American adventure science fiction film and the fourth
installment of the Jurassic Park series. It was directed and co-written by Colin Trevorrow,
produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, and stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas
Howard. The production companies were Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, also
responsible for the rest of the franchise, and Thomas Tull's Legendary Pictures. Set
twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park, Jurassic World takes place on the same
fictional island of Isla Nublar, off the Pacific coast of Central America, where a fully
functioning dinosaur theme park has operated for ten years. The park plunges into chaos
when a genetically modified dinosaur, Indominus rex, breaks loose and goes on a
rampage across the island.

Plot
A new theme park is built on the original site of Jurassic Park. Everything is going
well until the parks newest attraction- a genetically modified giant stealth killing
maching- escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.
3. A. Innovation
The main difference between the two films is that in Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs go
wild before the park even opens. This time around, the park is open and has been open
for 10 years. Even though the vision of Dr. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) had
been brought to life, the number of park attendees started to decline, so Dr. Henry Wu

(B.D. Wong) creates a bigger and badder dinosaur the Indominus rex that wrecks
havoc on the theme park.
B. Cinematic greatness
Jurassic World is the first film in the series without the involvement of Stan
Winston, who died in 2008. Instead the animatronic dinosaurs were handled by Winston's
former alumni at Legacy Effects, many of whom had worked in the previous three
films.Ultimately, Legacy Effects contributed lighting reference models as well as a
practically built animatronic Apatosaurus that was used for a sequence filmed in Hawaii.
Visual effects supervisor Phil Tippett and Industrial Light and Magic also returned to
create CGI dinosaurs. While Tim Alexander served as visual effects supervisor, Jurassic
Park supervisor Dennis Muren provided various advice to the ILM crew, such as how to
light the dinosaurs. The computer generated dinosaurs were created using performance
capture, using human actors to perform the dinosaurs' movements. Developing the raptors
had the collaboration of Image Engine, which finished the scenes using the motion
capture information and ILM's dinosaur models. Legacy Effects also provided one of the
full-sized raptor models built for Jurassic Park to the ILM crew as reference. Scroggins
Aviation Mockup & Effects was called in to fabricate and build the Blue Eurocopter
EC130 T2 airframe body, known as "JW001" in the film,while 32TEN Studios created
the automatic Jurassic World gates and various practical effects such as explosions.
C. Artistry
The dinosaurs in the movie are bigger than ever. A fourth installment in Jurassic
Park series is a 3D spectacle with lively characters and plenty of humour.
D. Uniqueness
Jurassic World actually has a lot in common with pretty much all of the other big
money earners. Of the top 50 movies with the highest opening weekends, for example, 49
are part of a franchise, the vast majority of which are in the action/adventure genre, just

like "Jurassic World." The lions share are also based on either comic books ("The
Avengers," The Dark Knight films, X-Men, etc.) or young adult fiction (The Hunger
Games, the Twilight saga, Harry Potter, etc.). Though "Jurassic World" doesnt fit neatly
into either of those categories, it does land somewhere in between them. The original
"Jurassic Park" film was based on a science-fiction book of the same name, which itself
has spawned comic books, massive amounts of toys and, of course, numerous sequels.
4. LESSON LEARNED FROM THE MOVIE
Always have a back-up plan: Say, an evacuation plan in case of another dinosaur
escape. The majority of tourists were left to fend off Pteranodons and hide among the
wreckage because there werent enough boats to escape the island. Always have an extra
life boat (aka a back-up plan). I remember this being a problem in a James Cameron
movie.
5. MOVIE RATING
PG-13 (for intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril). The DVD
debuted at number-one on the UK DVD Charts. Jurassic World grossed $652.3 million in
North America and $1.017 billion overseas for a worldwide total of $1.669 billion,
against a budget of $150 million. It set a box office record during its opening weekend,
becoming the first film in cinematic history which had generated over $500 million in a
single weekend, and was the third-highest-grossing film of all time in both North
America and the world during its theatrical run. It is the second-highest-grossing among
all films released in 2015 and the highest in Jurassic Park franchise. It is the second film
following Furious 7 to pass $1 million in 4DX admissions worldwide.
6. SUMMARY OF THE STORY
22 years have passed since the incident at Jurassic Park, a theme park populated
with cloned dinosaurs on the Central American island of Isla Nublar. A new park, Jurassic
World, is run on the same island by the Masrani Global Corporation, which also owns

InGen, the genetics company that creates the dinosaurs. Brothers Zach and Gray Mitchell
visit Jurassic World to see their aunt Claire, the park's operations manager. Claire, a busy
workaholic, assigns her assistant to be the boys' guide. Owen Grady has been training the
park's four Velociraptors. InGen security chief Vic Hoskins believes the raptors can be
trained for military use, despite Owen's objections. Park owner Simon Masrani has Owen
evaluate the park's new hybrid dinosaur, "Indominus Rex", before the attraction opens.
Owen warns Claire that the Indominus, raised in isolation, is dangerous because it is not
socialized to other animals. When the Indominus seemingly escapes its paddock, Owen
and two staff enter the enclosure. The Indominus, having camouflaged itself and masked
its heat signature, devours the two staff before escaping into the island's interior. Owen
orders the Indominus killed, but Masrani sends the Asset Containment Unit to capture it.
When most of the ACU team are killed, Claire orders the island's northern sector
evacuated. Zach and Gray, exploring in a gyrosphere ride, enter a restricted area. The
Indominus attacks and destroys their sphere. The boys escape and come upon the ruins of
the original Jurassic Park Visitor Center. They repair an old Jeep and drive back to the
park resort. Claire and Owen, searching for the boys, barely escape the Indominus
themselves. Masrani and two troopers hunt the Indominus by helicopter, but when the
Indominus smashes into the park's aviary to escape gunfire, it releases pterosaurs that
collide with the helicopter, causing it to crash. Gray and Zach find Owen and Claire at the
resort as armed troopers shoot down the pterosaurs with tranquilizers. Assuming
command, Hoskins orders that the raptors be used to track the Indominus; Owen is forced
to accept Hoskins' plan and lead the raptors. However, when they reach the Indominus,
the dinosaurs begin communicating with one another. Owen realizes that the Indominus

was created with raptor DNA; it becomes the raptor pack's new alpha. Hoskins has Dr.
Henry Wu helicoptered off-site with dinosaur embryos, protecting his research. Owen,
Claire, and the boys find Hoskins at the lab packing up more embryos, but a raptor breaks
in and kills him. Owen re-establishes his bond with the three surviving raptors before the
Indominus reappears. Two raptors are killed attacking it. Claire has the park's veteran
Tyrannosaurus rex released from its paddock and lures it into a battle with the Indominus.
The T. rex is overpowered, but before the Indominus can kill it, the lone surviving raptor
joins in on the attack. The raptor and T. rex force the overwhelmed Indominus towards a
lagoon, where it is dragged underwater by the park's resident Mosasaurus. Isla Nublar is
abandoned and the survivors are evacuated to the mainland. Zach and Gray are reunited
with their parents and Owen and Claire decide to stay together.
