Why Jurassic Park Still Matters (and Why the Sequels Mostly Don’t)

In this video essay, we dive into the deeper philosophical themes that made Spielberg’s original 1993 classic so powerful and why the sequels mostly missed the mark. From the illusion of control to the ethics of scientific ambition, we explore why Jurassic Park still matters, now more than ever.

Whether you grew up with this movie or are watching it with fresh eyes, this is a closer look at what’s really going on beneath the surface.
