Top Sci-Fi Thriller Triumphantly Debuts on Streaming Platforms
The global streaming landscape has recently welcomed a significant entry in the science fiction thriller genre. The original *Jurassic World,* released on June 12, 2015, is experiencing a remarkable resurgence in viewership, particularly on HBO Max.
Streaming Success Post-Rebirth
Following the release of *Jurassic World: Rebirth* in October, the original film found new life on streaming platforms. This past January, it was added to HBO Max in select regions, quickly climbing to the Top 10 in countries such as Argentina and Colombia. According to FlixPatrol data, *Jurassic World* currently ranks at #7 on HBO Max’s global movie charts. However, it is notably absent from the U.S. charts due to its unavailability on HBO Max in the United States.
Franchise Evolution and Reception
The *Jurassic World* franchise has seen mixed reactions over the years, often criticized for convoluted cloning plots and mutant dinosaurs. Yet, the original film stands out as a triumphant revival of the series over a decade after the last installment. Set in a new park built atop the remnants of the original, it showcased advanced security measures aimed at preventing past catastrophes. As Dr. Ian Malcolm, portrayed by Jeff Goldblum, famously states, “life finds a way,” hinting at the inevitable chaos.
Technical Marvel and Box Office Triumph
*Jurassic World* utilized modern CGI and immersive 3D effects to bring dinosaurs to life, enhancing the theatrical experience, especially for IMAX audiences. The film achieved outstanding box office success, crossing the billion-dollar milestone faster than any previous film, accomplishing this feat in just 13 days. It solidified its status as the leading film in the dinosaur genre, captivating audiences globally despite criticisms of subsequent releases.
Future of the Franchise: Another Sequel?
Looking ahead, the next installment in the *Jurassic World* series, potentially titled *Rebirth,* is already in the works. While initially pitched as a standalone, director Gareth Edwards is reportedly negotiating to return for an additional sequel that will build on the narrative established in *Rebirth.* Key cast members Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali are expected to reprise their roles, promising to allure fans once again.
Rental and Purchase Availability
For those interested in watching, *Jurassic World* is available for rent or purchase on Amazon Video within the United States. As the franchise continues to evolve, fans can anticipate more thrilling adventures in the world of dinosaurs.
