Jurassic Park currently dominates Jurassic World 80–20
The 1993 original tramples the reboot.
The Verdict Franchise Civil War
The two films treat a dinosaur as opposite kinds of thing. Jurassic Park treats it as an animal — the scene that gets less attention is Grant and Sattler crouched beside a sick triceratops, more moved by a real, ailing creature than by the whole engineered tour. Jurassic World treats it as an attraction, a headline exhibit with a gift shop attached and a day out priced to the dollar. When the original pulls this far ahead, it is the film that still finds a living thing miraculous, leaving behind the film that treats the same animal as inventory.
