10 Mistakes You Notice When You Rewatch Jurassic Park
30 years after its release, Jurassic Park is the perfect modern classic. But this doesn’t mean you won’t catch some of its mistakes upon rewatching.
TheJurassicfranchise began in 1993 with the release of Steven Spielberg’sJurassic Park. The $1 billion blockbuster was a game-changer in the adventure genre, with its state-of-the-art special effects bringing back extinct monsters and keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.Jurassic Parkwas a major hit for Universal Pictures andthe thrill ride reaffirmed Spielberg’s statusas a master of the blockbuster. Spielberg then directedThe Lost World: Jurassic Park, the 1997 sequel that revived the hype for dinosaurs, but ultimately failed to capture the attention of critics.Jurassic Park IIIfollowed years later with impressive special effects, and under the leadership of new director Joe Johnston. At $368.8 million in box office earnings, it remains the lowest-grossing film in the series.

Jurassic World Dominionwas the opportunity to save the franchise.Colin Trevorrow returned to the director’s chairto try and achieve the success of the 2015 revival. Additionally, the three main characters from the original 1993 movie reprised their roles. But even though it made $1 billion at the box office,Dominionwas heavily criticized. Today, it holds the lowest Rotten Tomatoes of the franchise, sitting at 29%. ButDominionwasn’t the end of the series. There’s still DNA to be extracted.
On August 08, 2025, the dinosaurs are coming back to the big screen with the latest installment in the series.Jurassic World Rebirthis reportedly a complete overhaul of theJurassic Worldphase that starred Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, and which saw humans domesticating the prehistoric monsters. They are not coming to reprise their roles, and the sequel is a new opportunity to jump-start theJurassic-verse. InRebirth, dinosaurs are the same old savage creatures that thrilled audiences back in 1993. The Gareth Edwards-directed feature aims to restore faith in the franchise byhonoring the original, and from what we’ve seen in trailers, the director could very well succeed in bringing the series back from extinction.
