10 Best Horror Movie Creature Feature Movies Since 2010
2. Jurassic World
Believe it or not, a fourth Jurassic Park movie was in some form of development as early as 2001. As it so often the case with the film industry, this follow-up to that year's Jurassic Park III spent over a decade in development hell and undergoing countless rewrites and rejigs as new writers and directors came and went for the project.
We would finally get that fourth franchise entry in 2015 - with Jurassic Park IV becoming Jurassic World - and it was a glorious return to a series that had so many fond memories for so many film fans.
If anything, it did the IP the world of good to stay in cinematic hibernation for 14 years. Both The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III had their charms, but an immediate fourth picture may have felt a tad rushed and could well have been underwhelming. Instead, the wait for Jurassic World drummed up a new appreciation for its three predecessors, and then the film itself delivered in a spectacular way.
Taking the heart and soul of what made Steven Spielberg's 1993 Jurassic Park so special, Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World maximised modern filming techniques and technology to give audiences an awe-inspiring dinosaur experience that proved so popular that the movie pulled in over $1.6 billion at the global box office.
