I would say Jurassic World fits into the genres of action, adventure, thriller and sci-fi.

10.Why does Jurassic World appeal to a family audience?

Jurassic World is shown as a theme park and theme parks are aimed at children and families. Therefore it appeals to a family audience. Some of the main characters are children which shows it would appeal to families. The movie revolves around dinosaurs which appeal to children and this shows why there would be a family audience.
