'JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION' (2022) REVIEW

Image
Critics have said the franchise has run its course, giving the latest addition to the series a low score of 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. These days, there seems to be a big difference between the critics score and the audience score for 'Jurassic World: Dominion'. I seem to side with the general public, giving the film a high score of 77 out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes. After the release of the sequel to 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' (2018), I was excited to see this film like how I was excited to see 'Fallen Kingdom' after the first film. After the endings, my immediate thought would always be "now I have to wait another 4 years to watch the next one". I only forgive the long wait so they can focus on making the dinosaurs look visually appealing and work on a good plot that is not rushed just to generate money like the 'Star Wars' sequel trilogy. Though many people have had enough with the franchise, my love for...

FILM RECOMMENDATIONS: NOSTALGIA (1971-2009)

Image
20th Century Fox Age Certificate: PG IMDb: 7.9/10 Rotten Tomatoes: 90/100 Plot Edward, a synthetic man with scissor hands, is taken in by Peg, a kindly Avon lady, after the passing of his inventor. Things take a turn for the worse when he is blamed for a crime he did not commit. Review Like how you would know you're watching a Christopher Nolan film based on the practical effects that is used on a large scale or watching a Michael Bay film from the number of explosions you see on screen, you would recognise Tim Burton's signature style in film. It is what differentiates his films from others and is called 'Burtonesque' because of the specific aesthetic he has for all his films. The visual aesthetics for this film is filled with bright coloured houses whereas the main character, Edward, has a dark academia look to him. The contrast of the film conveys that the town people are friendly whereas Edward is not. However, that is not the case when you watch the film...

'JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM' (2018) REVIEW

Image
J.A Bayona presents a new addition to the Jurassic Park franchise with not only Sci-Fi and adventure but the inclusion of classic horror. It was quite clear what the tone of the film was going to be once Bayona was associated with Jurassic World. Like his previous work, Bayona focuses on the horror genre, making the film's tone very dark in comparison to Colin Trevarrow's Jurassic World (2015). Jurassic World marketing portrayed a family fun adventure at a dinosaur park whereas the sequel presents a dark story about the park's dinosaurs. I remember watching the original Jurassic Park (1993) on VHS every day when I was a toddler. Stephen Spielberg is a great storyteller but that was already known since Jaws, E.T and Indiana Jones. Jurassic Park was known for its use of animatronics as well as using practical effects more than digital effects / CGI. It brought the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park to life and looks so real that it really does scare you as an...
