The Jurassic Park franchise remains the most commercially and culturally significant film series about de-extinction. Spanning nearly three decades, the six films— Jurassic Park (1993, JP1), The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997, JP2), Jurassic Park III (2001, JP3), Jurassic World (2015, JW1), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018, JW2), and Jurassic World Dominion (2022, JW3)—offer a unique longitudinal study of public fears regarding genetic engineering. This paper traces how each film reframes Dr. Ian Malcolm’s famous dictum: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” jurassic park 1 2 3 4 5 6

JP2 shifts from theme park to biological preserve. It introduces two new critiques: corporate espionage (InGen hunting dinosaurs for a San Diego park) and human intervention in ecosystems. However, the film dilutes Crichton’s novel themes (e.g., dinosaur intelligence, parental behavior) with a T. rex rampage in suburbia. The ethical core—should we save a second “lost world”?—remains unresolved. | Theme | JP1 | JP2 | JP3
