The seven films in order
- Jurassic Park (1993) — the original; still the high point for tension and awe.
- The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) — bigger, darker sequel.
- Jurassic Park III (2001) — a lean, fast survival entry.
- Jurassic World (2015) — the reboot, set at a functioning park 22 years later.
- Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) — the dinosaurs leave the island.
- Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) — the Jurassic World trilogy's finale, reuniting the original cast.
- Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) — a standalone soft-reboot set a few years after Dominion, with an all-new cast.
Rebirth is the newest entry and the one most people are missing from older watch orders. It's a fresh story with new characters, so you don't strictly need the others to follow it — but watching it last preserves the franchise's chronology.
Where the extras fit (complete canon)
If you want every canonical piece in sequence, add these two around the Jurassic World era:
- Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (animated series) — overlaps the events of Jurassic World, so watch it around or just after that film.
- Battle at Big Rock (2019 short) — a brief interlude set after Fallen Kingdom; slot it between Fallen Kingdom and Dominion.
Marathon timing
| Film | Approx. runtime |
|---|---|
| Jurassic Park | 2h 07m |
| The Lost World | 2h 09m |
| Jurassic Park III | 1h 32m |
| Jurassic World | 2h 04m |
| Fallen Kingdom | 2h 08m |
| Dominion | 2h 27m |
| Rebirth | 2h 13m |
That's roughly 15 hours for all seven films — a two-day project for most people. A natural split is the original trilogy first, then the Jurassic World run, with Rebirth as a fresh finale.
Where to watch
Every Jurassic film is a Universal title, so they tend to cluster on Universal's streaming partners in a given country, and all seven are reliably available to rent or buy digitally. Availability rotates between services and regions, so a quick search in your apps is the fastest way to see what's included today. If a film is on a service you subscribe to in another country but not your own, a VPN can connect you to that library — it's a legal tool in most countries and works like any other subscription app; just follow your streaming service's terms.
