We're huge fans of the original Jurassic Park and at one time or another have tolerated and even(to some extent) enjoyed aspects of its sequels. That said, at no point do any of Jurassic Park's follow ups come even close to being as magical and as awe inspiring as the original was. The Lost World shifted leads, had a new cast and moved past the adventure in favor of more action and bigger stakes. Jurassic Park 3 did plenty to harken back to the 1993 film that started it all only to feel rushed and empty. Jurassic World came close to delivering the seemingly lost adventure aspects of the previous sequels but ended up being a CGI heavy, lack luster mess. With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 61% Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, doesn't appear to be fairing much better.
In this video we discuss why we feel the original Jurassic Park has set an unobtainable benchmark for any and all of its sequels. Soft reboots aren't even going to be enough to recreate the feeling the first Jurassic Park did.
What are you thoughts on the current state of the Jurassic Park/World franchise? Also, has there ever been a great sequel? Are we missing something? If so check out the video and drop a comment in our comments section.
Peace!

Welcome to REWIND REPLAY! If you haven't checked the channel out before my name is Steve and love all things movies, T.V., video games and just pop culture in general and I really wanted a place I could discuss it all with others thus- REWIND REPLAY.
REWIND REPLAY is a channel for pop culture lovers of all ages to come together and jump head long into the discussion about all the latest movies, video games and television programs.
Here is what you can expect to see on REWIND REPLAY...
NEW REVIEWS- Reviews of all the latest release movies as well as the latest STAN and NETFLIX movies.
REWIND REVIEWS- Reviews of older movies.I like to look back at what the film was then and see how it has held up today. Often this will be used to build up to a new release.
RANKINGS- Once I've built up a new release movie with REWIND REVIEWS and reviewed the new film as well, I'll go ahead and RANK them from WORST to BEST!
RECASTS- This is where I take a new release movie and shift its release date by a decade or two and RECAST the movie with actors from that time.I also talk a bit about how I think the film would have looked and felt during that era and discuss who might have directed the movie and why.
5 THINGS STILL GREAT ABOUT- This is a new segment looking back at videos game of old and instead of reviewing them and pulling them apart for their dated graphics and game play, instead I look at what is STILL GREAT about the game. Fun, light-hearted and hopefully gets you looking at older games in a new light.
TOP 10's-Coming in a month or so I'll be adding TOP 10's to the agenda. These will either countdown to from 10-1 or I may make them simply 10 moments in no particular order.
