Nearly two decades after the first film, comes the new Jurassic World. New characters, great special effects and awesome action. Once again film composer John Williams' stunning theme captures the mood and tone of the film. Though the film isn't as immerse as the original film, this film is still another satisfying entry into the Jurassic series.
