Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Season 4 Trailer: Escape Is Only The Beginning Almost 30 years after “Jurassic Park” changed the landscape of summer blockbusters forever, the new “Jurassic World” films have attempted to cash in on that legacy by taking the action to the next level. The park was finally opened to the public with 2015’s “Jurassic World” and, predictably, things didn’t quite work out. “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” then upped the ante even more by essentially blowing up the original island of Isla Nublar with an erupting volcano and ushering the surviving dinosaurs onto the mainland where — who could’ve possibly guessed!...
