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!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
