OK, first off, I totally enjoyed Jurassic World and I'm a huge fan of Chris Pratt. But as I thought back on the movie, I realized there was something amiss. What exactly does Chris Pratt's character accomplish?
Spoiler warning. If you haven't seen the movie, you should turn back now.
OK, what does he do? Well, first he lets the Indomitus Rex out of it's cage. Not that I can blame him, as he was saving his own skin. But if he'd just let the dinosaur eat him, then it never would have made it out of the pen. Remember? The Indominus chases him towards the door as it's closing, and the dino is able to wrench it fully open.
Next, he warns the folks in the control room, but they don't listen and kick him out.
Then, he goes with Ron Howard's daughter to save the kids. Only they don't save the kids. They don't even find the kids, and the kids end up saving themselves.
I believe his next big thing is when Bryce Dallas Howard saves him from the flying dino.
He tries (not very hard) to stop them from taking out the Raptors. Instead he does the cool scene where he's riding the motorcycle alongside the Raptors to go take down Indomitus. But the Raptors turn on him and he runs away.
Next you've got the scene with the Raptors chasing the van. The van with Bryce and the two kids. Chris Pratt doesn't even show up until he's zips up at the end of the chase.
And in the climax, who saves the day by letting out the T-Rex and leading it over to fight with the Indominus? Not Chris Pratt. Nope, it's Bryce Dallas Howard to the rescue again.
Plus, he doesn't even get any good one-liners. I mean, come on.
