Jurassic World Dominion is about to hit the cinema, I thought it would be interesting to look into back at the last movie Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom and see how similar it was to The Lost World Jurassic Park, with both being the second parts of the franchises.
There will be spoilers for both films in this article.

7 – The Lost World – When we first meet Sarah she finds herself surrounded by a herd of Stegosauruses almost getting trampled by the confused and sacred dinosaurs. This will get the camerawork give us an up close and personal experience within the dinosaur world, one we didn’t get in the first Jurassic Park.
