Jurassic World, Colin Trevorrow’s blockbuster starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, arrives on Prime Video on December 1, 2025.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World relaunched the cult universe of Jurassic Park in 2015 with a blockbuster combining action, adventure, and science fiction. Starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, the film imagines an amusement park finally operational on Isla Nublar, where genetically recreated dinosaurs have become attractions for the general public. The feature film will be available on Prime Video from December 1, 2025.
In Jurassic World, visitors flock by the thousands to see brachiosaurs, raptors, and mosasaurs in a high-tech setting. To maintain public interest, management authorizes the creation ofthe Indominus Rex, a genetically modified dinosaur that is larger, more aggressive, and more impressive than previous species. When it escapes from its enclosure, the situation quickly escalates: the infrastructure is overwhelmed and the island descends into chaos.
Faced with this uncontrollable threat, hopes rest on Owen Grady, a raptor trainer, and Claire Dearing, a park executive directly involved in the Indominus project. The film follows their attempt to contain the creature while protecting visitors and their loved ones. Without giving away any spoilers, the story explores the consequences of spectacular one-upmanship and scientific choices guided by profitability rather than caution.
The trailer for Jurassic World
The synopsis is based on a simple and effective idea: the Indominus Rex, a laboratory creation designed to attract more visitors, gets out of control and turns the park into a permanent danger zone. Owen Grady tries to use his experience with raptors to anticipate the creature’s behavior, while Claire must face up to her responsibilities in the face of the risks taken. Jurassic World plays on the contrast between the aesthetics of a futuristic amusement park and the brutal return of predatory nature.
The film is primarily aimed at fans of spectacular action movies , fans of the Jurassic Park franchise, and those who enjoy big-budget blockbusters. The chase scenes, dinosaur battles, and disaster sequences in enclosed spaces are reminiscent of some of the great modern monster movies, such as Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island. The tone favors narrative effectiveness and pace over strictly realistic scientific accuracy.
Released in 2015, Jurassic World quickly became one of the biggest box office hits worldwide and relaunched the franchise initiated by Steven Spielberg. Co-written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, the script questions the excesses of genetic manipulation and the race for novelty in the entertainment industry. The film makes numerous references to the first Jurassic Park, through its sets, iconic props, and the presence of Dr. Henry Wu, while introducing a new duo of protagonists played by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.
In terms of production, several ideas were considered, including a working title, “Jurassic Park: Extinction,” before settling on Jurassic World. Filming took place in Louisiana (notably on the former site of a disused Six Flags park) and Hawaii, continuing the geographical continuity of the first films. The teams are building a large part of the park’s Main Street in order to reinforce the credibility of the universe and provide the actors with a concrete environment, complemented by massive digital effects.
The music is by Michael Giacchino, who revisits John Williams’ original theme while developing new scores. On the casting side, Chris Pratt sees his status as a blockbuster hero confirmed after Guardians of the Galaxy, while Bryce Dallas Howard plays a character torn between commercial objectives and a growing awareness of ethical issues. The cast also includes Omar Sy, Vincent D’Onofrio, Judy Greer, and B.D. Wong, creating an international ensemble that reflects the global appeal of the fictional park.
