Jurassic World has ditched the puppetry for CGI, a common trend now in Hollywood, although it is something I am not a huge fan of, simply because I believe in the 'real' thing. Take Jaws for example, we all know it is an animatronic prop, but it looks so much real than any CGI shark from such films as Deep Blue Sea. The same too with The Hobbit films, I believe the overuse of computer generated animation made for a saturated visual layout compared to the Lord of the Ring trilogy.
In terms of credibility, Jurassic World is a worthy addition to the 'Jurassic Park' universe, although there is very little mention of the previous sequels, but there is a lot of mention about the the first film.
This film has been in development for roughly 10 years, with various writers, directors and actors attached to the project; and it shows. In places, the plot is a mess with parts that are not needed.
Overall, it is fun and surprisingly decent watch. But I can't help that feel that it is a huge metaphor regarding cinema of today and of yesterday. Just because it is a sequel of hit film, and it includes bigger action sequences, it does not equal a better film.
