The Jurassic Park films, particularly the original 1993 installment, are celebrated classics that continue to resonate with audiences. The first film set a high bar with revolutionary special effects, quickly becoming historically recognized as a box-office sensation. While each sequel—The Lost World and Jurassic Park III—had varying receptions, they contributed to a unique cultural phenomenon, marked by extensive merchandising and evolving cinematic techniques. The release of a new 4K Ultra HD edition brings renewed interest in these films, prompting fans to revisit their impact beyond mere entertainment of dinosaurs rampaging through society.
Calling the Jurassic Park films "underrated" is like calling oxygen "underused." You can't throw a rock without hitting someone who has a nostalgic opinion about them.
When the original film debuted in the summer of 1993, it quickly became (at the time) the highest-grossing film ever made, showcasing groundbreaking effects.
Like Jurassic Park, The Lost World emerged during a merchandising bonanza that drew in everything from tea bags to Giga Pets, expanding the franchise's cultural impact.
Jurassic Park III seemed like an attempt to rectify this and turned the series into a straightforward, 90-minute adventure film that lacked the surprise element.
