Five things to know.

  1. Setup

    The film takes place twenty-two years after the events of Jurassic Park and follows the story of Owen Grady, a Velociraptor expert, and Claire Dearing, the park's operations manager.

  2. World

    The film is set on the fictional island of Isla Nublar, located off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where a successful theme park of cloned dinosaurs, dubbed Jurassic World, has operated for years.

  3. Pressure

    The park's owner, Simon Masrani, tasks Owen with evaluating the security of the enclosure for the Indominus rex, a new transgenic dinosaur created by geneticist Dr. Henry Wu.

  4. Craft

    The dinosaurs were created by Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic using CGI and by Legacy Effects using life-sized animatronics.

  5. Viewing note

    The film features a scene of violence against a female character, which has been noted by several publications.

Brefly’s take / Interpretation

A thought to take with you.

The park's attempt to keep visitors interested creates pressure to make its attractions bigger, while the staff must still treat animals as living creatures with needs and risks. The escape puts spectacle and care in direct conflict as workers try to protect visitors and animals.

Is it your kind of movie?

Choose it for a theme-park dinosaur adventure that returns to Isla Nublar. The earlier Jurassic Park film gives useful background, and the story includes creature peril.
