Jurassic World: dinosaur fun or 'big, dumb, sexist mess'?

Revival of Spielberg's dinosaur drama prompts nostalgia, science scepticism and accusations of sexism

Jurassic World

Two decades after Steven Spielberg unleashed Jurassic Park, and 15 years after the last instalment of the cinema blockbuster, its CGI dinosaurs are making a comeback with the long-awaited sequel Jurassic World.

The fourth instalment of the Jurassic franchise is directed by Colin Treverrow and stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Nick Robinson. Set 22 years after the events of the original Jurassic Park (1993), the film returns to Isla Nublar, somewhere near Costa Rica, where a dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, is operating.
