[COMPLETE] The Order of the Jurassic Park Films from the Beginning to the Latest

Dinosaurs are creatures that have existed on Earth for 230 million years. These ancient animals were the dominant vertebrates on Earth for 135 million years.

According to paleontologists, there are more than 500 different dinosaur genera and over 1000 species distinct from non-avian dinosaurs.

They are classified as herbivores, with some species being carnivores.

Unfortunately, dinosaurs became extinct. The most popular theory regarding their extinction is the asteroid rain that hit the Earth, leading to a significant decline in the dinosaur population.

Jurassic Park Films

Fantasy works, whether in novels or films, have always captivated us. They bring to life imaginative characters, some of whom can even interact with humans.

These characters can include animals, even those that are extinct, and new characters created to deepen the storyline.

This inspiration led to the creation of the Jurassic Park novel. The author, Michael Crichton, made dinosaurs the central animal characters in the story.

Published in 1990, the novel was later adapted into a film with the same title, directed by Steven Spielberg.

The film broadly tells the story of chaos and philosophical implications to explain the failure of an amusement park that brought dinosaur species back to life.

Not only was one film made, but the Jurassic Park franchise also has several sequels. Let's explore the order of the Jurassic Park films up to the latest one.

List of 6 Jurassic Park Films from the Beginning to the Latest

1. Jurassic Park (1993)

The first Jurassic Park film begins with the construction of a park in a remote area containing genetically engineered dinosaurs.

To ensure its safety, park owner John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) invites paleontologists Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern).

To further convince the investors, Hammond also brings his two grandchildren to visit the park.

However, trouble arises when a thief shuts down the power system to steal embryos. This causes a Tyrannosaurus Rex to escape from its enclosure.

So, what happens next?

2. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

Continuing from the previous film, after the chaos at the park, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) tells Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) that there is an island filled with dinosaurs.

This island has free-roaming dinosaurs other than those on Isla Nublar.

Knowing this, the InGen company takes advantage of the situation and wants to capture the dinosaurs.

Meanwhile, John Hammond, still feeling guilty, sends an expedition team before InGen does.

Still starring Richard Attenborough, this time Richard is joined by Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethwaite, and Arliss Howard.

3. Jurassic Park III (2001)

This sequel focuses on Alan Grant (Sam Neill), who survived the incident at Jurassic Park.

He is determined never to return to the island.

However, his resolve wavers when a couple asks him to be their tour guide on Isla Sorna, offering a large payment to visit InGen's secret research site.

Unfortunately, their journey to Isla Sorna does not go smoothly. Alan realizes that the "owners" of the forest have become more ferocious and agile than before.

This sequel features actors such as Sam Neill, William H. Macy, Téa Leoni, Alessandro Nivola, and Trevor Morgan.

4. Jurassic World (2015)

This time, Jurassic Park has been renamed Jurassic World.

Years after various incidents at Jurassic Park, a new amusement park featuring dinosaurs opens.

Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) is a man tasked with training velociraptors. While observing the velociraptor training, InGen's security guards see how Owen trains these animals.

They think these creatures would be perfect as military weapons.

Meanwhile, InGen creates a dinosaur named Indominus rex through genetic engineering.

Unfortunately, this dinosaur causes havoc by escaping from its enclosure and killing several people.

To stop this dinosaur, a team is formed. However, they are not strong enough to fight Indominus Rex.

So, how will they stop the threat from this escaped dinosaur?

This film, released long after the previous one, features talented actors such as Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Irrfan Khan, and Vincent D’Onofrio.

5. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

An active volcano threatens the safety of the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar.

Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), a former manager at Jurassic World, seeks the help of Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) to save the dinosaurs.

Thrilling scenes are again presented in this Jurassic World sequel.

Still starring the previous Jurassic World cast, Bryce and Chris Pratt are joined by Rafe Spall, Justice Smith, and Daniella Pineda.

6. Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

This film is reportedly the final trilogy of the Jurassic World series.

Directed by Colin Trevorrow, it again stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Additionally, actors from the original Jurassic Park film will also be featured.

This film is highly anticipated and is scheduled for release in 2022.

Conclusion

Dinosaurs indeed became extinct millions of years ago. However, thanks to experts, many dinosaur fossils have been discovered, allowing us to learn about their existence and species.

These creatures also inspire works of art, such as Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, which are inspired by dinosaurs.
