While Jurassic World Re๐๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ก aims to reboot the franchise, the upcoming outing is already repeating two of the Jurassic World trilogyโs biggest mistakes. The original Jurassic Park trilogy is far from perfect, and there is one major reason for this. Director Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of Michael Crichtonโs novel is a self-contained survival horror that didn’t necessarily need a sequel, even if the legendary director was convinced to return for 1997โs humdrum follow-up, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Jurassic Parkโs ending ties together the story in narrative and thematic terms and doesnโt leave much room for a follow-up.
As such, the sequels couldnโt focus on a theme park overrun with dinosaurs but rather on rescue missions and asecret second island. In 2015, Jurassic World dodged this problem by focusing on a new, bigger, more successful theme park. Unlike the original movieโs titular attraction, Jurassic World was open to the public. This bigger, sillier take on the original movieโs story wasnโt perfect, but it did recapture Jurassic Parkโs structure. However, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and particularly Jurassic World: Dominionโs ending completely derailed this storyline. These sequels set dinosaurs loose in the human world, irrevocably altering the franchiseโs premise in the process.
Thank You So Much For Watching!
