Near the end of the film Aliens, the bunker in which the heroes are sheltering suddenly darkens, heralding an assault by the ravenous Xenomorph antagonists. "They cut the power," Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley murmurs, to which Bill Paxton's Private Hudson wails, "What do you mean, 'they' cut the power? They're animals!"
I found myself recalling this scene many times throughout Jurassic World a film that asks us to give even more credit to its dinosaurs' intelligence than in previous installments while at the same time indulging in some of the most corny monster movie violence I've seen since last summer's Godzilla.
