Jurassic World hit theaters on this day in 2015, more than a decade after the original dinosaur trilogy had ended. Jurassic World promised audiences that it would remind them of Jurassic Park, but it didn’t promise to be better in any way. Jurassic Park works because of the wonder and terror its dinosaurs induce, but it’s also careful to set up real, human stakes. Just a few months before Jurassic World hit theaters, Mad Max: Fury Road reminded us that not all long-awaited sequels are destined to be disasters. Unfortunately, Jurassic World’s pale imitation of Jurassic Park proved to be more the rule than the exception.
