Jurassic World: Shock and blah

Jurassic World roars onto screens this weekend, 22years after the first Jurassic Park awedand terrified viewers in equal measure.

In this fourth instalment ofthe franchise,Isla Nublar is a dinosaur theme park that after 10 years in operation, is getting a little long in the tooth. Head office is demandinganimpressive new attraction to bump up the tourist dollars. Cue the new dinosaur, and the disaster.

If everyone running from the big beast sounds just like theoriginal Steven Spielberg classic, not everything here is the same.

There's a new star, the bankable and charmingChris Pratt, a new director, Colin Trevorrow, and a new improved genetically modified hybrid dinosaur.

But all that'sstillnot enough to save thisJurassic World.

"What the new director lacks is Spielberg's patience to build up thesuspense,"says CBC's film criticEli Glasner.

"The best way to treat Jurassic World is asB-movie with a blockbuster budget," he says.

Jurassic Worldgoes into wide release today.
