10 Problems A Jurassic World Sequel Must Address

5. The Need For A Film With Its Own Identity

Jurassic World is far from a perfect movie. Though a fun popcorn outing, it's not without its flaws. Training raptors? Military goons hoping to weaponise dinosaurs? Genetic modification of dinosaurs to give them more teeth, because someone thought that was a good idea? Yet its biggest flaw is also, arguably, one of its biggest selling points: in short, the film essentially retraces the steps of the original Jurassic Park. Kids who happen to be relatives of a park head honcho invited to the island? Check. T-Rex feeding? Check. Kids lost on the island? Check. Hiding from ravenous dinosaurs under flipped cars? Check. Nature finding a way? Double and triple check. A team member who is playing for another team? Well you've got that too. Even the I-Rex camouflage trick was lifted from the novels (the Carnotaurus in The Lost World). In short, Jurassic World was a nostalgia trip, but any sequel needs to stand on its own, and have its own identity.
