One perfect film, then thirty years of chasing the magic.

Spielberg's 1993 landmark won three Academy Awards and grossed over $1 billion, its CGI-and-animatronic dinosaurs a filmmaking watershed (~91% RT).

The 2015 reboot grossed $1.67 billion with a then-record $208 million domestic opening, successfully relaunching the dormant series (~71% RT).

The 1997 follow-up (~54% RT) was a huge commercial hit but drew mixed reviews for a thinner story despite its San Diego rampage finale.

The 2001 entry (~50% RT) is the shortest in the series, a competent creature feature that critics found forgettable.

The 2025 standalone entry drew middling reviews (~50% RT), commercially solid but seen as another competent-yet-uninspired sequel.

The 2018 sequel (~47% RT) split critics with its haunted-house second half, though it still crossed $1.3 billion worldwide.

The 2022 finale holds the series' worst reviews (~29% RT), faulted for a locust-focused plot despite grossing $1 billion.
