Synopsis:

Jurassic World is my second favourite movie in the Jurassic Park franchise but I personally find it flawed in several ways.

Intentions:

Firstly, I seriously disliked the portrayal of its lead character, Claire. I really enjoy her arc but there is a variety of instances that have misogynistic undertones. From her sister's insistence that she will "understand when she's mother" to the way, the boys react to her compared to Owen and the various discussions of her relationship status. None of this is necessary to the plot and I find it odd that it's there at all. Claire is the operations manager of a billion-dollar company but she's implied to be a failure because she chooses not to be a mother. This edit aims to give Claire more agency and remove any undermining of her for her lifestyle choices and because of her gender. Next up there is a lot of bloat that adds nothing to the story, in particular, the kid's parents' divorce which goes nowhere. When compared to the really solid deleted scenes it is perplexing to me why the studio choose to keep that plotline. This edit cuts the bloat while reinstating all purposeful deleted scenes available on the blu ray. Lastly, I was not a fan of the overly washed out colour grade of the film. This edit replaces it with a more contrasting less green tinted look. The deleted scenes were colour matched to the new regrade.
