Twenty-two years after the original Jurassic Park failed, the new park, also known as Jurassic World, is open for business. After years of studying genetics, the scientists on the park genetically engineer a new breed of dinosaur, the Indominus rex. When everything goes horribly wrong, will our heroes make it off the island?

There's a good movie in here somewhere, but that movie is drowned by this movie attempting to be everything to everyone. Maybe it could have been a good family-friendly action/adventure, but it's own legacy makes that an uphill battle. I think it could have been a GREAT horror/comedy, but it would need to drop the plot with the brothers, add an R rating, and swap the genders of the lead roles to really deliver on that premise. That said, there are some very fun setpieces, and the places where the horror/comedy aspects shine thru are capital-D Delightful, such as the events leading to the pterodactyl enclosure and parts of the Indomitus Rex plot. As it is, this film is so confused that the aforementioned Evil Dinosaur ends up being the undercover protagonist of the story. Load this up the next time you want to have fun with a bad movie.
Edit: Added half a star for the ending, a true dino grudge match that befits the history of creature features.
