Waiting for a good, realistic looking dinosaur movie as a kid was like waiting to grow up. It couldn’t happen soon enough. Specials and educational programs of dinosaurs, as well as books and puzzles galore decorated every little boy’s room, just waiting for that movie that didn’t look like stop motion to come sweep us off our feet. And no, dinobots do NOT count. Little did we know, five movies about these very creatures would soon roam our theaters, all overseen by the director who had already changed cinema forever the decade before.
After Jurassic World came out in 2015 and proved with its over $1 billion take that people were indeed still thirsty for dinosaurs, producer Steven Spielberg once again got the ball rolling on another sequel. Though with previous director Colin Trevorrow writing the script and stepping off the director's chair, Spielberg once again had to choose a new face to head his franchise. Enter Juan Antonio Bayona (pronounce Bah-Jona). He had proven himself a director of talent with the tear jerkers A Monster Calls and The Impossible. Yet, he was yet another director armed with a hefty budget that he had never played with before. How did he do?
Join me, Nate, and Law as we answer that question, and subsequently finish (for now) our Jurassic Park series of podcasts. This was a hell of a series to go through, and I would once again like to thank my co-hosts, as well as those who listened. Stay tuned, more retros to come.
