rex, director Colin Trevorrow is upping the ante of that original scene.įrom 1993 until now, the Jurassic Park series has contained some of the most beautifully composed images seen on a movie screen, from the idyllic and the serene to the absolutely terrifying. By upping the number of potential victims and, in turn, the fear of this T. rex, right down to the film’s logo itself, and by juxtaposing that roar with a distinctly modern background, like the original’s museum or Dominion’s drive-in movie theater, both shots manage to visually represent the genius and terror of John Hammond’s original idea that is, bringing the creatures of 65 million years ago screaming into the present, whether it’s a wise idea or not.
