Jurassic World: 10 Reasons It's The Worst Movie In The Franchise
9. The Characters Don't Behave Like People
Mr. Masrani, the CEO of a giant multinational corporation, is so confident that he pilots a helicopter he can barely fly to take out an enormous carnivorous dinosaur, and is predictably immediately killed. The two leads, Claire and Owen, take time out after a vicious pterodactyl attack to share a romantic kiss (never mind that Claire's assistant has just been eaten by a Mosasaur). Zach and Grey go "off-roading" in a dinosaur park - a giant, potentially man-eating dinosaur park - even though all the signs indicate something is dangerously amiss at the park. Claire, the park's director, takes a flare to draw out a T-Rex, stands far too long waiting as it approaches, then runs away - while it chases her - in high heels. Three dinosaur experts stroll into the containment area of a deadly, towering new dinosaur named the Indominus Rex just because there are claw marks on the wall, without waiting to check beforehand if the dinosaur had indeed left its containment zone. Welcome to Jurassic World, where the people act like no people you've ever met.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
