2. Jurassic World

14 years of development hell prevented the Jurassic Park franchise from returning to the movies after JP3, but the wait would ultimately worth it. Jurassic World relaunched the saga with new characters in a new chapter of a brand new story, and it turned out that this was exactly the refresh that the franchise needed.

Much of what makes Jurassic World work is that it takes its cues from the very first Jurassic Park movie, opting against making it another survival film on an abandoned island full of killer dinosaurs. Yes, it’s fuelled by nostalgia, replicating a lot of what we saw in the 1993 film, but it also takes JP‘s ideas further, envisioning the functioning theme park that never quite came to fruition in the first movie.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard work incredibly well opposite each other as the film’s leads, while Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins’ performances as Claire’s nephews reminded us why Jurassic movies work best when family is at the heart of it. That is what Jurassic Park is all about, and Jurassic World is the perfect reminder of that.

This was designed to be the Jurassic Park of this generation and even though that’s obvious, it worked nonetheless, reviving the franchise from near-extinction and providing audiences with a movie almost as larger-than-life as the original.
