The Jurassic Park movie franchise is the best representation of movies that diminish with each movie since the first one.
I thought this was better than Jurassic World 2. I didn’t see the 3rd.
Eh, the first Jurassic World was a bump up compared to The Lost World and JP3, but yeah, the general trend is accurate.
The modern film industry in one imagine.
I was ok with the first Chris Pratt one. Not great, not awful.
What I really wish they had done was set the next one a couple years down the line. Maybe a couple of those military helicopters that are stealing the dinosaurs at the end crashes in mainland South/Central America. Imagine a Jurassic Park movie that’s a cross between Alien/Predator/Planet of the Apes. Really lean into the highly intelligent apex predator and horror angle.
The problem with these movies, is they keep letting the cat out of the bag, over and over and over. Cat’s out. What’s next?
The second Jurassic World movie was that, sort of.
First one was grand, didn’t need to be followed up or remade. Now we have a franchise… The only remake I wouldn’t mind seeing is a more brutal first one, closer to what the book was depicting. All I’d be interested in really.
Both this and Five Nights at Freddy’s have an interesting problem, where they’re based around an entertainment franchise that goes wrong - but the franchise itself necessitates repeated attempts and failure.
I remember trying to like the lost world but I just can’t. Only the first is worth watching.
if yeah want an amazing dinosaur park media, check out Dinosaur Sanctuary.
they treat the dinosaurs as animals, and the whole plot revolves around the upkeep of the zoo.
it was cowritten by a paleontologist and a manga artist.
that manga speaks to my soul as I worked in a zoo when I was 18 to 21. it really hits my nostalgia,
I’m looking forward to Jurassic Park 9: The Secrets of Dumbledore
Wtf was the point of this entire film? Like why?
IDK, maybe this?

Jurassic Park’s Sequel Problem
This video is 7 years old and still relevant.
Happy july-sixth park
Next week: Jurassic Petting Zoo!
Challenge: Let’s broaden the Jurassic world. How do you make a Jurassic movie without the dinosaurs breaking loose?
The dinos are back, but of some species, every generation is smarter than the last, until they actually start speaking. Because they had a super civilisation, and their scientists encoded the key to rebuilding their civilisation in the DNA we found. The next generation becomes smart enough to invent a time machine, and try to manipulate us into going back in time to prevent the comet strike that took them out. Joke’s on them - they were in fact aware of the comet strike, but as we travel back in time together, the human part of the crew sabotage their Armageddon mission and make sure the strike actually happens, to pave the way for mammal domination!
Dinosaurs want to break out again but giant asteroid is going to destroy the earth so they team up with humans to stop it. Dinosaurs offer their asteroid know how in exchange for freedom.
Make dinosaurs drill again.
