Concerns that CGI dinosaurs
had lost their ‘wow’ factor in the
20-plus years since Spielberg’s
groundbreaking Jurassic Park
were squashed like a brontosaur
stomping on an ant when this
franchise reboot quickly shot to
the number three position on the
all-time box office chart, with a
worldwide gross of $1.6 billion.
John Hammond’s dream of a
dinosaur Disneyland has finally
been realised; the park (now World) is open for business
and a massive tourist attraction. But these days kids would
rather stare at their smartphones than a stegosaurus,
creating the need for a genetically engineered designer
dinosaur – the Indominus Rex – that’s bigger, badder and
scarier than anything that walked the earth 65 million years
ago. Needless to say, this hybrid super-predator will not be
contained and quickly escapes, threatening the safety of
visitors and staff. Functioning as a direct sequel to the 1993
original (and packed with numerous nods than fans will
enjoy), Jurassic World is a movie as massive as its resident
dinosaurs and star Chris Pratt’s charisma. The first worthy
successor to Spielberg’s classic. • See page 38
They came, they saur.
JURASSIC WORLD
Arnold Schwarzenegger returns
to his signature role in this
action blockbuster/reboot that
smashes and mashes up the
events of The Terminator and
T2 in an alternate universe that
rewrites the series’ mythology.
The opening recreates James
Cameron’s original, but when
another Arnie Terminator
unexpectedly appears along
with a liquid metal T-1000, and
Sarah Connor (GoT’s Emilia Clarke) tells Kyle Reese (Jai
Courtney) to “come with me if you want to live”, we’re
suddenly in exciting new territory. It’s The Terminator,
but not as we know it. In this parallel timeline, Arnie’s
Terminator has been Sarah’s guardian since she was
a child, and Judgement Day is now set to occur two
decades later in 2017. This necessitates another
time jump into a future where Skynet is now a global
operating system called Genisys, poised to go online
in a matter of hours, and a new model nano-Terminator
pursues our heroes as they attempt to destroy
Cyberdyne Systems. Terminator Genisys upgrades the
franchise for the digital age, but in tampering with the
timeline, it becomes a temporal paradox. The future
has been well and truly reset. • See page 40
