he trailer for this belated dinosaur sequel features a massive mosasaurus swallowing a dangling shark whole. The cheeky implication is clear: Jurassic World could eat Jaws for breakfast. Certainly, like the “Indominus rex” at the centre of its genetically spliced action, this cinematic theme park ride is bigger, louder, and has more teeth than either Jaws or Jurassic Park. Yet what it gains in size it loses in terms of dramatic logic and, more importantly, character chemistry. While the 3D beasts are undeniably impressive, their human counterparts remain resolutely two-dimensional thanks to a script that mistakes tone-deaf jumps and starts for emotional arcs. The result is a spectacular summer blockbuster that will doubtless eat the box office alive, but that remains all bark and no bite.
