The only good thing about the summer heat except for the mimosas and the beer mugs (goes without saying) is the bunch of awesome movies that come with it every year. Like choosing a new outfit every day wasn’t enough, now picking a movie to watch every week has also been added to our hectic schedules. If you can’t decide which movie to watch this week then here’s your definite answer. This Thursday (11th June, 2015) relive those memories with Jurassic World (reboot) and that is not the only reason you should be watching this movie. Here are seven reasons that will make you get out of bed before 11 AM on the weekend and catch this movie at the nearest cinema.
1. A well-known face is the owner of the Jurassic Park!
Who would have thunk that Irrfan Khan, who at one point couldn’t even afford the ticket to watch Jurassic Park in the 90’s now runs the Jurassic World. Just too much respect!
You guessed it right. A T-Rex with long arms! The main attraction of the movie involves the genetically modified T-Rex with long arms and boy is she in a frenzy! Behold the Indominus Rex.
There aren’t a lot of things that are more entertaining than Chris Patt bossing around some dinosaurs and using them as his new back up. Who needs the Guardians of the Galaxy when you have trained and tamed dinosaurs?
4. Haven’t watched the previous movies? No worries!
This one is a complete reboot and unrelated to the previous movies, so don’t miss it just in case you don’t know what the preceding installments were all about.
6.Who doesn’t want to see a great white shark eaten alive in one go?
Don’t believe us? Just take a look at this!
That right there is the deal-sealer. The fact that even marine life is present in the movie just increases the probability of the number of Dinos to be seen in the movie.
