19.) Jurassic World (Colin Trevorrow)

Starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Judy Greer, and Vincert D’Donfrio

Release: June 12th

Not even the lovable Chris Pratt can convince me the latest Jurassic Park is going to be any good. The last two ranged from missable to bad and when has a third sequel ever succeeded? Still, writer and director Trevorrow’s heart is in the right place, seeking to modernize and update the Jurassic Park world with relevant themes and strong visual ideas—although I’m not sure how I feel about the rolling spheres instead of jeeps. The analog feel of the original is one of its strengths, and I worry if the new aesthetic might undermine the threat of the dinos. I know this sounds mostly negative, but World is due to be a good time at the movies, and on the off chance it really works, we may have a new classic on our hands.
