What Order Do The Jurassic Park Movies Go In

Okay, let's talk Jurassic Park. We all love dinosaurs, right? And chaotic Ian Malcolm speeches? Of course!

But figuring out the order of these movies? It can get messy. Don't worry, I'm here to help (and maybe stir the pot a little).

The "Official" Order (Boring!)

Fine, fine. I'll give you the official order first. Blah, blah, blah. We have Jurassic Park (1993), the classic that started it all.

Then comes The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997). Followed by Jurassic Park III (2001), which we politely try to forget about.

Next, we jump to the Jurassic World era. Jurassic World (2015) revives the franchise. After that, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018). Finally, there's Jurassic World: Dominion (2022). Phew!

Is That Really the Best Way?

Now, here's where things get interesting. I have a confession: I think the official order is... well, kinda wonky. Prepare for some controversial opinions!

My (Slightly Unhinged) Viewing Order

Okay, deep breath. I suggest watching Jurassic Park first, obviously. Because, duh, it's perfection.

Then? Skip straight to Jurassic World. Hear me out!

Jurassic World captures the spirit of the original in a way The Lost World and Jurassic Park III just... don't. Plus, Chris Pratt!

Next, go back and watch The Lost World. Treat it as a fun, slightly ridiculous side quest. Jeff Goldblum makes everything better.

Now, for the truly brave: Jurassic Park III. Lower your expectations. Think of it as a dinosaur B-movie adventure.

Finally, circle back and finish with Fallen Kingdom and Dominion. They’re... certainly something.

Why This "Chaos Theory" Works

My reasoning is simple: maintain the magic! Jurassic Park and Jurassic World have a similar feel. Starting with those keeps you hyped.

Then, the other movies provide dino-sized doses of nostalgia and camp. It's a rollercoaster of quality, for sure!

Fallen Kingdom and Dominion are at the end because… well, they are endings. Big spectacles that wrap things up (sort of).

The "Forget It Exists" Option

There's also the nuclear option. Just watch the original Jurassic Park. Pretend the others are elaborate fan fiction.

It preserves the sanctity of that first film. It might be the safest route for your sanity!

But where is the fun in that? Embrace the chaos! Just like Dr. Ian Malcolm would want.

So, What's the "Right" Order?

Ultimately, the "right" order is whatever you enjoy most. If you want chronological accuracy, go for the official route.

But if you're feeling adventurous, try my bonkers suggestion! Let me know if I've ruined the franchise for you, or maybe... just maybe... opened your eyes!

Regardless of the order, Jurassic Park remains a beloved franchise. Enjoy the dinosaurs!

And remember, life finds a way... to make questionable sequels.
