Three years after Jurassic World was destroyed, Isla Nublar now sits abandoned. When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen and Claire mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event.
"The park is gone."
I felt embarrassed to be watching this. It's an embarrassing fever dream. I abandoned it halfway through its runtime....
More dinosaurs, Opie’s hot daughter, Dracula’s castle and Indiana Jones
“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” (2018) revolves around Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen (Chris Pratt) leading a team back to Isla Nublar to save several species of dinosaurs after an active volcano threatens all life there.
