25 years ago, I fell in love with a film for the first time, and in turn, fell in love with film as a whole. Jurassic Park was everything to me. It gave me a wonderful escape to a land I’d never experienced before, and it has stuck with me for two and a half decades. And over those years, I’ve seen several sequels come and go, none living up to sheer awe and wonder of the original. But Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom managed to do the next best thing by evoking the essence of the first film while bringing something wholly new to the franchise.
