Spielbergs firstJurassic Parkfilm arguably shouldve been left as a standalone piece.
But the sequels keep making money, so Universal keeps pumping them out.
Now, the studio is working on a brand-new reboot to distance the franchise fromthe disappointment ofJurassic World Dominion.
But for the most part, its anIndiana Jones-style action-adventure where the stakes never feel particularly high.
But by the third movie, when the dinosaurs had escaped onto the mainland, those horror elements vanished.
Jurassic World Dominionhas the franchises lowest Rotten Tomatoes score with 29%.
Dominionis more of a globetrotting James Bond action epicthan a sci-fi horror movie.
Its more focused on delivering big set-pieces like a motorcycle chase or a plane crash than a good fright.
And as a result, the danger feels completely weightless.
Five years after Jurassic World Dominion, Earth’s ecology confines dinosaurs to equatorial zones. Zora Bennett, a covert ops expert, leads a team to secure genetic material from massive dinosaurs for a life-saving drug. However, stranded on their mission, they discover a devastating secret hidden for decades.
It has to find the right balance between horror and good ol Spielbergian fun.
Edwards has already proven he can handle thisbalancing act.
Theres no doubt that he can pull off the same trick inJurassic World Rebirth.
