Today on TV comes one of the best sci-fi adventure movies ever, which spawned five sequels. Unfortunately, the last parts disappointed tremendously.
One of the most successful and best blockbusters ever is on TV this Thursday: Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park mixes elements of science fiction, monster and disaster movies, breaking several records in 1993. Thirty years later, the dinosaur series is at its nadir.
Jurassic Park isn’t preparing a sequel, but that didn’t stop anyone
A group of scientists:inside (Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern) are asked to inspect a theme park with dinosaurs. When a disgruntled developer shuts down security, things spiral out of control.
Based on Michael Crichton’s novel, Jurassic Park tells a self-contained story. The adventure became the most successful film ever at the box office, surpassed only by James Cameron’s Titanic. So a sequel was needed. Reluctantly, Michael Crichton wrote a follow-up novel and Steven Spielberg returned to the director’s chair. Forgotten World – Jurassic Park was released in 1997.
The Jurassic sequels went from bad to worse
The (extremely fun) sequel received mixed reviews and was thus a warning sign as to the quality of the series. After all, within the storyline, there was no reason for Jurassic Park sequels, unlike, say, the epic story of Star Wars or the stand-alone adventures of Indiana Jones. Each installment had to piece together a more hair-raising story that warranted a trip to a death trap populated by dinosaurs.
The first Jurassic Park trilogy was received worse with each installment, and the reboot with Jurassic World experienced a similar trend (via Rotten Tomatoes ). At the end of the series so far is the worst Jurassic movie ever.

Jurassic World 3: A New Age starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard was still a huge success. Worldwide, the sci-fi blockbuster grossed over a billion dollars. Jurassic World 4 has not yet been announced, but several people close to the production have hinted that the series will continue in some form (such as Bryce Dallas Howard at People ).
