Hilarious Lego version of Jurassic World sums up the movie in 90 seconds

Jurassic World in 90 seconds (LEGO animation)

Thanks to the creativity of YouTube user BrotherhoodWorkshop, Jurassic World can be enjoyed in less than two minutes — or at least a pretty fantastic Lego animation version of it can be. In a video posted earlier this week, Jurassic World in 90 Seconds, the entire blockbuster film is hilariously simplified and spoofed. It’s a must-watch even for those who have yet to check out the latest installment in the dinosaur-focused franchise.

To make a long story short — literally — and come up with the condensed version of Jurassic World, the creators had to pare down a film that’s over two hours long and choose the most important plot points. What they managed to fit in is impressive. There are plenty of rampaging dinosaurs, helicopters, and weapons, plus a healthy dose of hysteria. There’s even still time for a tender moment between Lego Owen and Lego Claire.

The oversimplification of the plot, along with the creative license the creators took with the dialogue, is amazing. The video takes the moments you sat and begged someone on the screen not to do something and injects them with humor. At one point, a character even says, “This was a terrible idea!” while being shaken around in the mouth of a raptor.

Jurassic World in 90 Seconds is just one of a handful of Lego Jurassic World clips made by BrotherhoodWorkshop. According to the group’s YouTube account, they “make awesome stop-motion and fantasy videos” with the hope of one day making feature films. So far, they’ve created a bevy of incredible Lego animations starring characters from familiar film franchises, including Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and more.

3 sci-fi movies on Peacock you need to watch in December

Vin Diesel in Pitch Black.

We've mentioned this before, but finding three sci-fi movies worth recommending on Peacock is truly a challenge. This site's sci-fi selection is like a mirage. There are a few great titles, but most of the movies are made up of titles like Airplane vs. Volcano, Bermuda Tentacles, and Jurassic City. Those are all actual films on Peacock, in case you thought we were joking.

Since the idea behind this list is to find something worth recommending, we've decided to go with the very first film that Vin Diesel appeared as Riddick, a science fiction knockoff movie from producer Roger Corman, and the final (for now) film in the Jurassic World franchise. These are the three sci-fi movies on Peacock that you need to watch in December.

3 movies like Netflix’s Leave the World Behind you should watch

The cast of Leave the World Behind.

2023 is winding down, but Netflix is closing out the year with a post-apocalyptic drama called Leave the World Behind. And if it's not the end of the world, then it sure feels like it. Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke star as Amanda and Clay Sandford, a couple who took their kids out on a vacation at a remote cabin. Unfortunately, the good times are short-lived when the cabin's owner, G.H. Scott (Mahershala Ali), and his daughter, Ruth (Myha'la), show up unannounced. From there, it soon becomes clear that something is wrong...but what?

Once you've finished watching Leave the World Behind, you can revisit the post-apocalypse in some similarly themed films. We've narrowed the selections down to three movies like Leave the World Behind, all of which made their debut within the last five years.

Does Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World still hold up 20 years later?

Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.

Twenty years ago today, on November 14, 2003, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World sailed into theaters as an outlier in the sea of Hollywood franchises, sequels, and over-the-top action flicks. In retrospect, it's no wonder moviegoers didn't quite know what to make of a nautical adventure that was set two centuries earlier during the Napoleonic Wars. Or perhaps audiences had their fill of the high seas after Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl arrived in theaters only a few months before. The Curse of the Black Pearl was a hit with $305 million domestic, while Master and Commander had a relatively modest run of $118 million against a $150 million budget. When the rest of the world was factored in, Master and Commander finished with $212 million and it received no sequels.

Pirates of the Caribbean may have gotten the billion-dollar franchise, but Master and Commander is now regarded as a modern classic whose popularity has only grown via repeated airings on cable and through the streaming era where it continually pops up on the major providers. This has not gone unnoticed, as GQ ran a feature story on Master and Commander's enduring appeal earlier this year. The fans who have embraced this movie truly love it, and if you've never had the pleasure of seeing Master and Commander, then we're going to tell you why it should be on deck for your next movie night.
