Jurassic Park: WTF You Need to Know About This Franchise

Last Updated on October 10, 2022

Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow recently made headlines when he said Jurassic Park should have probably never become a franchise. Indeed, many consider Steven Spielberg’s 1993 masterpiece a seminal and singular work. Still, it was such a smash that no one could resist turning it into a franchise, including Spielberg himself, who kicked things off with The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The third film, Jurassic Park III, was a critical failure. However, Jurassic World was a huge hit, like the sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and the trilogy-capper Jurassic World: Dominion. All three films crossed the magic billion dollar mark overseas, but of the six Jurassic Park films to do, which of them is worth your time?

This episode of WTF You Need to Know About This Franchise is written, narrated, and edited by Kier Gomes, and produced by Tyler Nichols.
