Movie Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

This is a review for the new movie, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. There may be spoilers below, so read at your own discretion, but I'll try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible.

Last week I went to the theater and saw the second Jurassic World. Now, let me start by saying that I'm a HUGE Jurassic Park fan, so going into this movie I had fairly high hopes considering how successful the first one did as well.

Getting there, I, of course, had to get an Icee and a big bucket of popcorn to start. Once my family and I made it to our seats, the lights darkened and the movie began. I was incredibly excited, so as I said before I had very high hopes and I personally believe it delivered. As I'm not very good at quick summaries, I'll post a quote from Rotten Tomatoes below:

"It's been three years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles. When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who's still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission. Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could return our entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times."

Through the movie, we have the drama of Owen and Claire of course and their tension-filled romance. They are brought together again by a chance to save some of the Dinosaurs on the island from a massive volcano. There is definitely a lot of wit throughout the movie which I enjoyed, but incredibly dark moments as well. People are hurt, attacked, and there are even more intense Dinosaurs than before.

My favorite part of the entire movie is how they deal with the welfare of the Dinosaurs. It actually coincides with the issues these days of animals being treated like property. They're sold and slaughtered for more money, and along the way, they're treated like they are nothing. In the movie, people were fighting and protesting, saying that the Dinosaurs deserve to live because they're living creatures. It's so amazing to see that represented in a movie.

Another part I loved was near the ending. I won't give it away because it's a huge plot twist and I'll probably be yelled at for giving away the spoiler, but things like that are currently happening as well and it should be medically impossible but technology has come a long way. And as they show in the movie, technology can either help the world or completely destroy it.

Now, if you haven't seen this movie yet I completely suggest that you go. It's incredible to see on such a big screen, and you won't regret it!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
