Movie Review: JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM (2018)

25 years ago, I fell in love with a film for the first time, and in turn, fell in love with film as a whole.  Jurassic Park was everything to me.  It gave me a wonderful escape to a land I’d never experienced before, and it has stuck with me for two and a half decades.  And over those years, I’ve seen several sequels come and go, none living up to sheer awe and wonder of the original.  But Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom managed to do the next best thing by evoking the essence of the first film while bringing something wholly new to the franchise.

Jurassic World - Review

One of the earliest and best movie-going memories I have is going to the local discount theater and watching the original Jurassic Park three times in a row, because I was a dork and had nothing better to do at age 9.  I absolutely loved Jurassic Park then, and continue to love it today, and Jurassic World has strengthened that love.
