This episode of Nick Nack Goes to the Movies takes one the newest entries in some late 80's and early 90's classics. The 6th and potentially final movie end-capping the second dynamic dinosaur trilogy, Jurassic World: Dominion, and the sequel that nobody anticipated ever coming, Top Gun: Maverick.
So, the theme of this episode quickly became how different franchise have come back to make a sequel entry. For Jurassic Park World, it was the end cap of a second trilogy, for Top Gun, it was, becoming a franchise adding a sequel entry a bit under 30 years after the original took flight. Let’s see the if this is a flight simulator of success or if we are entering danger zones. Are these franchises prehistorical and need to be extinct, or are these movies breathing new life into them! These movies have some big name actors including Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern, and Sam Neil to name a few. And of course the hit track, Danger Zone.
But what do you think, did these movies move the needle for you? Did Top Gun need a sequel and will we ever see another Jurassic Park movie? Let me know that and your favorite dinosaur on social, @NickNack_IC or @NickNackMovies on Tik Tok, Instagram, Letterboxd, and Twitter.
