Jurassic World is one of the most weirdly self-critical movies I've ever seen. It's refreshing when we see the film acknowledge the usual shortcomings of summer blockbusters, but after a while we realize that the movie has no intention of altering or transcending those shortcomings.
A new theme park is built on the original site of Jurassic Park. Everything is going well until the park's newest attraction--a genetically modified giant stealth killing machine--escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.
Critics Consensus: Jurassic World can't match the original for sheer inventiveness and impact, but it works in its own right as an entertaining -- and visually dazzling -- popcorn thriller.
