At the Movies – Jurassic World, 5 Flights Up

Jurassic World

In Jurassic Park, a genius billionaire finds a way to bring dinosaurs back to life and builds a tourist attraction to house them. He invites a handful of people to come preview the attraction, and they quickly come to the conclusion that bringing back dinosaurs for the purposes of entertainment is a fundamentally bad idea. In Jurassic World, however, everyone has gotten past the basics that cloning dinosaurs is a bad idea. A group of billionaires has built a whole new park, vastly more ambitious and technologically complex than what John Hammond was trying to do. But it’s just not enough to keep the masses entertained any more. And so they do the only logical thing: engineer their own megadinosaur. The park failing this time is so, so much worse than the first go around.  Director: Colin Trevorrow. Cast: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D’Onofrio, Ty Simpkins, Omar Sy. Rated: PG-13. Time: 2:04.

5 Flights Up

Forty years ago, artist Alex Carver bought a run-down apartment in a sketchy part of Brooklyn with his wife, schoolteacher Ruth. Today, their neighborhood is now very hip and their apartment worth a small fortune. The now- retired Ruth and Alex haven’t changed – they are still as much in love as ever. But they have let Ruth’s niece Lily, a real estate agent, list their property to see what the market might bear. Director: Richard Loncraine. Cast: Morgan Freeman, Diane Keaton, Cynthia Nixon. Rated: PG-13. Time: 1:32.
