Jurassic World review - all spectacle no spark

The park is open and the dinosaurs are real, welcome to Jurassic World.

It has been 22 years since my tiny brain was blown by Steven Spielberg’s original Jurassic Park, one of the watershed cinematic experiences of my childhood. So any sequel is going to have a lot to live up to.

And Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World gets the necessary pieces in place right at the start – there’s the child’s perspective, the sense of wonder and the big reveal of the new and improved park, with a little help from some of John Williams’ old score.
