Plot and Production Details

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. Koepp wrote the original “Jurassic Park” in 1993, as well as its 1997 sequel, “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.” His return to the franchise after 28 years brings veteran storytelling expertise to this new chapter.

Technical Achievement and Future Prospects

In total, Jurassic World Rebirth contains 1,515 visual effects shots, the most of any film in the Jurassic series. The film’s technical accomplishments showcase the evolution of visual effects in the franchise. While the seventh installment in the “Jurassic Park” franchise was the 4th-highest-grossing film of 2025, earning $868 million at the box office, Universal has yet to officially greenlight its follow-up. Despite this, the film’s success and surviving cast suggest potential for future instalments, keeping the franchise alive for a new generation of audiences.
