The Jurassic World Movies Stopped Short Of Making It Feel Global
Jurassic WorldNever Really Reached Its True Potential
One of the best waysChaos Theorybuilds on the lore ofJurassic Worldis by taking the story global, as opposed to the more American-centric focus of the films. Although most of the films within the franchise have taken place on islands like Isla Nublar or Isla Sorna, they’ve been focused on a largely American cast of characters. EvenJurassic World: Dominion, which promised a full world of dinosaurs, quickly left human cities.Much of the action was in confined spaces or remote locations, with a very specific cast of characters and perspectives.
