In 1993, director Steven Spielberg introduced audiences to a world in which dinosaurs roamed the earth with the help of some revolutionary advancements in DNA cloning but with disastrous results. However, Jurassic Park – the filmmaker’s adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel – was anything but a disaster. It proved to be a major turning point in how Hollywood uses computer-generated effects, became the highest-grossing film of all time (for a little while, at least), earned praise as one of the best sci-fi movies ever made, and spawned a long-running franchise.

It appears that the prehistoric series is about to continue with the upcoming Jurassic World Rebith, which will be directed by Gareth Edwards of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Creator fame. You have plenty of time to relive this blockbuster saga before the release of the next installment, so allow us to help point you in the right direction. Welcome… to our guide to the movies from the Jurassic Park universe on streaming, on digital, or on physical media.
