History Film / JurassicWorld

* AmusementParkOfDoom: Just as with ''Film/JurassicPark1993'', a series of unprecedented but ultimately preventable events turns Jurassic Word into one of these.

A sequel, ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', was released on June 22, 2018 and is the second film in what Trevorrow intends to be a new trilogy based on the ''Jurassic Park'' franchise. A third film, officially titled ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion'', was released in June 2022. In January 2024, a fourth ''Jurassic World'' film was announced to be in the works, with Creator/DavidKoepp, the screenwriter for ''Film/JurassicPark'' and ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' [[note]] and the famed Unlucky Bastard in the latter film[[/note]] reportedly returning to the scripting helm.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Owen, who tried to date Claire though it proved comically unsuccessful. [[spoiler:Played straight after the movie's halfway point.]]

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Living dinosaurs have lost their novelty only ten years after the opening of Jurassic World. Zach and Gray were both born ''after'' the events of the ''second'' movie, meaning that dinosaur cloning would have been mentioned in history textbooks.
** While Masrani is an HonestCorporateExecutive, Hoskins realistically points out his considerable assets are so diversified that he personally can't keep track of everything going on in his holdings. Something that Hoskins and Wu sucessfully exploit.
** In the climax of the film, the protagonists hide in Henry Wu's lab while the dinosaurs are currently searching for them. [[spoiler: When Vic Hoskins encounters them, he doesn't even get halfway through the MotiveRant he attempts to deliver before it alerts Delta, who quickly ambushes and disembowels him.]]
** As mentioned above, invoked by Dr. Henry Wu when confronted about the Indominus Rex.
--->'''Henry Wu:''' You cannot have an animal with exaggerated predator features without the corresponding behavioral traits. [...] Nothing in Jurassic World in natural. We have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And, if their genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality. You asked for more teeth.

* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Much like the first film, there has a clear distinction made between the herbivores and the carnivores in the park, no herbivores are shown being aggressive towards people and not a single human casualty can be attributed to a herbivore. While in comparison all the species that are shown breaking out of containment and/or attacking people are carnivores [[note]]Imdominus, pteranodon, Dimorphodon, Mosasaurus and velociraptor.[[/note]]).

** Just before Delta kills him, [[spoiler:Vic Hoskins]] goes from [[FauxAffablyEvil fake, frigid cheeriness]] to [[DirtyCoward desperately and pathetically begging for his life]]. Justified because it's generally very difficult to maintain composure when one is being menaced by one of the most lethal killing machines nature ever created.

* DoomedTacticalTeam: Played Straight with In-Gen's Asset Containment Unit during their attempt to capture ''I.rex''. Most of them get slaughtered with their deaths displayed via body camera footage to the In-Gen command centre. The mercenary reinforcements who arrive later don't fare any better.

** While it's exact size is inconsistent, it is very clear that the film's ''Mosasaurus'' is far too large. However, some bloggers have pointed out that aside from her exaggerated size, it is possibly the most accurate animal in the entire park. She's correctly shown with two rows of teeth, although her tongue would have probably been forked like modern-day monitor lizards. That said, the ''Mosasaurus'' also has some crocodile-like features (her jaw design and rows of spikes along her back and tail), which are completely made-up and probably unlikely.

*** This is also one for the Raptor Squad, in two parts. After three movies portraying the series' velociraptors as hyper-aggressive killing machines, we're shown a quartet of them that are ''much'' better behaved than we've ever seen before, following directions given by their human handlers. That said, it's made very clear in Grady's subsequent conversation with Hoskins and then when one of the staff falls into the pen that they ''are not'' tame and ''will'' still kill and eat anyone and anything that they consider to be prey--Grady manages to get himself and the other handler out of the pen safely, but only just barely and the raptors still lunge at the man who raised them from birth when he turns and bolts to cover the last few feet to safety.

** Simon Masrani arrives via helicopter. Unfortunately, he was the one flying it and is still training, so when he takes Claire to the new ''Indominus rex'' paddock, its movements are a little jerky. While [[SharpDressedMan impeccably dressed]] and clearly ''filthy''-rich, he's genuinely polite and friendly to everyone. He also references John Hammond, not worrying too much about the rising costs of the park so much as making sure the guests are entertained. He even mentions how Hammond "entrusted me with his legacy," and obviously wants to honor Hammond's original dream.

* BeakAttack: Non-bird variant -- there is a scene where the saurian BigBad releases a swarm of highly territorial ''[[PteroSoarer Pteranodons]]'' and scares them into a panicked frenzy, prompting them to descend upon the titular park's most populated area. Throughout the scene that follows, the pterosaurs can be seen pinning people down and pecking at them with their enormous beaks. Before that, one of them kills a hapless security guard by stabbing him in the chest with its beak.

* DeathFromAbove: The Main Street attack, wherein a swarm of escaped [[PteroSoarer pterosaurs]] fly into the park's most populated area (thanks ''Indominus'') and attack everything in sight.

* PteroSoarer: ''Pteranodon'' and ''Dimorphodon''. ''Pteranodon's'' design is fairly ugly but the designers at least had the decency to remove their teeth, shorten their crests (because they're all female), make them quadrupedal and [[ShownTheirWork depict them as competent divers/swimmers]]. The ''Dimorphodons'' are depicted as vicious predators, while real ''Dimorphodons'' were harmless insectivores/predators of small prey. On the other hand, the Dimorphs are correctly portrayed with pycnofibres. The website also falls into the trap of referring to pterosaurs as "flying dinosaurs" and has the annoyingly common misnomer of "Pteradon," though both of these might have been accidental.

* ActionisedSequel: Especially compared to [[Film/JurassicPark1993 the first film]], this one has more guns, more deaths, more fights, etc.

Twenty-two years after the disastrous events at Isla Nublar in the [[Film/JurassicPark first film]], the late John Hammond's dream has finally come to fruition: the island now hosts a fully-functioning, popular, hardly-deadly-at-all theme park with dinosaurs, run by the Masrani Corporation, of which Hammond's [=InGen=] is now a subsidiary. However, the public has gotten used to the idea of cloned dinosaurs and attendance is slowly declining. Simply introducing new species to the park isn't enough anymore. Therefore, the latest attraction to be brought in isn't just a new species--it's a genetically modified hybrid created by the park's asset development team. And then it backfires disastrously, as the park's ventures always do...

* AmusementParkOfDoom: Just as with ''Film/JurassicPark'', a series of unprecedented but ultimately preventable events turns Jurassic Word into one of these.

* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: After ''Film/JurassicPark'' and ''Film/{{The Lost World|JurassicPark}}'' (and ''Film/JurassicParkIII''), ''Jurassic World''.

** [[spoiler:The flare used to lure Rexy to her feed is also used by Claire to direct her to the rampaging ''I. rex''. This also functions as a CallBack to the [[Film/JurassicPark first film]], when Dr. Grant and Ian Malcolm distracted Rexy's attention away from the kids using flares. Rexy is already conditioned to respond to flares.]]

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Several of the more prominent characters in the cast are clearly written to contrast similar characters in the original ''Film/JurassicPark'', likely to avoid accusations of rehashing its plot. Claire Dearing is an efficiency focused park manager while Mr. Masrani has the John Hammond "wonder and excitement" vision. Owen Grady is similar in skills and personality to Robert Muldoon but has a much larger role in the story. Lowery Cruthers seems a little like the nerdy and slobby Dennis Nedry but nowhere near as selfish. The kids have their own character arc as they grow as brothers, and prove to be slightly less "scream and run" that prior kid characters were. See [[Characters/JurassicWorld the "Characters" tab]] for more details.

** In a second of the trailer a map of the island is in the background. The northern area is called the Restricted Area. [[spoiler:It's where the ''I. rex.'' enclosure and the original [[Film/JurassicPark Visitor's Center]] is located.]]

** Lowery wearing a Jurassic Park shirt, expressing fondness for the old park and calling it "legit", is a nod to the original film. Indeed, considering how poorly things at the original park went, one could say that the moment makes ''more'' sense if he's talking about ''Film/JurassicPark'' the movie rather than the in-universe park.

* MerchandisingTheMonster: Lowery Cruthers, an [=InGen=] employee who works in the Jurassic World control room, proudly shows off his t-shirt displaying the logo of the original ''Film/JurassicPark'' (a shirt that is actual real life merchandise for the 1993 film). Since the old park never opened due to multiple people getting killed by escaped dinosaurs, Claire Dearing thinks that this is insulting to the memory of those who died and demands that Lowery never wear the shirt again.

* NeverMessWithGranny: Word of God is that the ''T. rex'' in the movie is the same specimen we saw in the original ''Film/JurassicPark''. The estimated lifespan of a ''T. rex'' is at most 30 years, and considering that 22 years have passed since the events in the first film, and Rexy was already an adult back then, the old girl is actually in her twilight years, still kicking ass and taking names.[[note]]Though, that's the "in the wild" expectancy. Since she's (mostly) lived in captivity her whole life, she likely has many more years to live.[[/note]]

** ''Film/JurassicPark''-era Jeeps still work more than two decades later despite being left unmaintained. The film makes an effort to address it by having both the battery swapped out and fresh gas added (from sources also abandoned), but it would almost certainly require more than that to get them moving--to say the least the tires should be long flat.

* RaptorAttack: Considering ''Film/JurassicPark'' was the TropeMaker, it only makes sense the raptors retain their now inaccurate look. [[spoiler: The human/raptor alliance lasts for all of five minutes before the ''I. rex'' takes over. It isn't until near the end that the three remaining raptors do yet another HeelFaceTurn and attack the ''I. rex'', which is solely due to Owen finally being present and in immediate danger.]]

* SamePlotSequel: ''Jurassic World'', taking place two decades after the original ''Film/JurassicPark'', borrows many elements from it. Two children visit a park of genetically engineered dinosaurs run by a relative of theirs. Due to an error in the security system, dangerous dinosaurs escape and attack people, and the children get lost. [[spoiler:The main antagonistic dinosaurs get defeated by the very same ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' in both movies.]] Also, the general theme of human greed and interfering with nature is the same.

** From a handful of [=VIPs=] taking a preview tour of a few barely functioning attractions in ''Film/JurassicPark'', to a fully open and populated resort zoo with hundreds of dinosaurs and thousands of guests in this film. The effects, action, and deaths scale up commensurately.

** [[spoiler: Zara's]] death, the first (onscreen) female casualty in the film franchise, is possibly one to [[Film/JurassicPark Ellie's]] semi-famous line about "woman inheriting the Earth" while the men become dino-fodder.

** During her fabulous death scene, Zara flails her legs about as she's [[KidnappingBirdOfPrey snatched up by a pteranodon]] then dropped in the Mossasaur lake. She continues flailing as a different pteranodon tries multiple times to carry her out of the lake. Which is probably what got the attention of the mossasaur that ultimately devours her.

In June 2018 a prequel novel ''Literature/TheEvolutionOfClaire'' was released that is set prior to the events ''Film/JurassicWorld'' that centers on the character of Claire Dearing. An animated series, ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'' began airing on September 18, 2020, detailing the adventures of a group of children who were camping at Jurassic World during the time of the movie's events. A ride, the ''Ride/VelociCoaster'', opened on June 10, 2021, and takes place prior to this film, while the dark ride ''Ride/JurassicWorldAdventure'' also opened in September that same year, serving as a loose adaption of this film.
