Part 19/20:
Jurassic World: Afterbirth epitomizes franchise fatigue. It is an incoherent jumble of sequences, lacking the wonder, tension, or character engagement that made the original Jurassic Park a classic. The film attempts to throw as much spectacle, action, and Familiar Dinosaur Setpieces at viewers but ultimately fails because it cannot sustain logical storytelling or emotional investment.
The franchise’s decline reflects society’s waning interest and the franchise's own creative bankruptcy—all masked by box office numbers and product placements. To truly revive the series, it would need to strip down the excess, focus on meaningful characters or themes, and rekindle the awe that made dinosaurs fascinating in the first place.
