The Implausible Stuntsįallen Kingdom takes the story to unexpected places, following a thrilling if somewhat familiar first half that brings Owen and Claire back to Isla Nublar – the location of John Hammond’s original park and, later, Masrani’s fully functioning Jurassic World. But in Fallen Kingdom, director JA Bayona was given the chance to make an absorbing follow up that would lead into the third and final climactic instalment of the new trilogy. That’s not to say 2 and 3 bombed – they didn’t, despite mixed reviews – and that’s not to say that Jurassic World isn’t without its issues. With it came renewed interest in - and hope for - its future output. The age of episodic cinema is upon us, with studios that get it right onto a winner.Ģ015’s Jurassic World served as a refresh, if not a reset, of the dinosaur saga. Fans no longer have to brace themselves for increasingly inferior versions of their favourite film as time marches on, while their enthusiasm for it ebbs away.

Story and characterisation took a back seat.
How do you sustain interest in a saga that revolves around dinosaurs eating humans? It’s always going to be the same thing, right? Back in the 1990s, sequels simply tended to amplify the action – and volume – of the original. The problem facing the Jurassic franchise has always been keeping it fresh.
