The original film brought to life the thought, What if we brought back dinosaurs?
Of course, gigantic reptiles co-existing with humans just isnt possible, no matter what Jurassic Park Dominion says.
Unfortunately, one significant barrier stood in the way of me feeling excited.
Ive spent 14 years hoping that horror would return to the Jurassic Park movies.
The original movies defy genres, incorporating horror and thriller elements into the sci-fi/adventure story.
Jurassic Park had stakes.

The story taps into a palpable, primal fear that kicks the survival instinct into high gear.
The main characters felt like they were in actual danger of dying instead of having plot armor.
The premise of saving marooned characters makes Jurassic Park III a survival movie at its core.
The sequel trilogy isnt as good as the originals, but I think theyre still quite enjoyable.
However, I knew from just watching the trailers that it wouldnt satisfy my desire for more horror.
I cant fault the trailers because they did their job by setting proper expectations.
As promised, Jurassic World is an action movie with little to no horror elements.
Fallen Kingdom and Dominion follow suit, mirroring the tone and style of the first Jurassic World movie.
Each film still left me wanting, even if I enjoyed it overall.

Luckily,Jurassic World Rebirth promises to satisfy me by incorporating the horror elementsthat the past three movies removed.
So it feels instantly relatable.
This statement makes me confident that he understands the fear well enough to harness it onscreen.
He said this:
Jurassic Park is a horror film in the witness protection program.
Most people dont think of it like that.
We all went to see it as kids.
Moreover, I love that Edwards is a fan of Jurassic Park.
He clearly appreciates the Stephen Spielberg movie on both an audience level and a directorial level.
Im excited to see how his love for the franchise comes through in the upcoming film.
The visuals also strike a great balance between the Jurassic Park trilogy and the Jurassic World trilogy.
The grittiness makes the story feel like its happening in real life, raising the stakes.
Additionally, thedinosaurs shown in the Jurassic World Rebirth trailertease exciting and terrifying showdowns with the humans.
Eight dinosaurs are shown, and most of them pose a serious threat to Zoras team.
They will face threats from the land, the sea, and the sky.
