The Jurassic Park islands and dinos are coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Jurassic World: Archipelago is a new expansion pack for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 that lets aspiring pilots explore the five islands of the fictional Cinco Muertes Archipelago featured in the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies. Created by Australian developer Orbx that's known for its flight sim add-ons, the expansion lets you visit many locations from the films while the islands will be teeming with more than 10 different species of dinosaurs. According to an FAQ on Orbx Studios' website, the Jurassic World: Archipelago expansion is an official collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences and will be available sometime in late August or early September, 2025. It will initially launch for all versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Xbox and PC, but is compatible with the entry-level Standard Edition which is also available through Xbox Game Pass. The studio says it's also 'working towards making compatible products for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 12.' The expansion lets you visit the five new islands — including Isla Nublar, Sorna, Matanceros, Peña, and Tacaño — as they were before the events of 2015's Jurassic World 'when the park is operational but not everything is under control.' You'll be able to fly over Isla Nublar and see the park alive with activity, while the breeding facilities on Isla Sorna, as seen in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, remain abandoned and overgrown. Jurassic World: Archipelago includes new flying challenges like transporting VIPs between the islands and nearby Costa Rica and conducting guided tours. You can visit the facilities and theme park structures seen in the various films and land at recognizable airfields and helipads, all while dodging the local wildlife that includes brachiosaurus, stegosaurus, velociraptor, and flying pteranodons.

JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH Behind-the-Scenes Footage Previews a Dinosaur-Fueled Survival Nightmare — GeekTyrant
Universal has released a thrilling behind-the-scenes look at Jurassic World: Rebirth , and if you thought this franchise had exhausted its supply of dinosaur chaos, think again. The footage teases a relentless survival story centered on the Delgado family, a group of unsuspecting civilians who stumble into the jaws of something much bigger than themselves. At the heart of the film is Site C, a brand-new location in the franchise's ever-growing mythos. But this isn't another Isla Nublar or Isla Sorna. Site C was InGen's dirty little secret—so hidden that not even most of the company knew it existed. This remote island wasn't built for tourists or attractions; it served as a shadowy testing ground for InGen's most extreme genetic experiments, including dinosaurs considered too aggressive, unstable, or unpredictable for any theme park setting. Basically, if Nublar was a zoo, Site C is a nightmare laboratory that nature itself rejected. The footage features the Delgado family, Reuben (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), Teresa (Luna Blaise), Isabella (Audrina Miranda), and Teresa's boyfriend Xavier Dobbs run into trouble at sea. A mosasaurus attack flips their sailboat and strands them in dangerous waters. Their story takes another sharp turn when they're rescued by Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) and Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), two operatives aboard a submarine en route to Site C on a covert mission involving dinosaur DNA. In the film, 'The planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. 'The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.' The director previously said that the movie is 'a giant love letter to Steven Spielberg and his earlier films. There are moments in this movie that remind me very much of Jaws. 'It's like little greatest hits of all those aspects of his films that I loved growing up as a child. It's essentially a little adventure odyssey across this island, a survival story, really.' The film is set five years after the events of Dominion , 'in which dinosaurs mingled with humans all over the globe, these creatures are now dying out. 'The present-day planet proved to be inhospitable to the prehistoric ilk, except for a small region in the tropics around the equator, where many of them now congregate. 'The three most colossal dinosaurs of land, sea, and air within this biosphere hold genetic material precious to a pharmaceutical company that hopes to use the dino DNA to create a life-saving drug for humanity.' The movie is in theaters now, and you should watch it!

Review: JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH is The Best Film in The Franchise Since The Original — GeekTyrant
I wasn't expecting to walk out of Jurassic World: Rebirth with a huge grin on my face, but here we are. After three uneven Jurassic World entries, director Gareth Edwards has finally given fans the follow-up that actually feels like it belongs in the same universe as Spielberg's 1993 classic. It's not better than the original, let's not go crazy, but for the first time since that first trip to Isla Nublar, a Jurassic movie recaptures the thrill, wonder, soul, and suspense of the original film that we love so much. What makes Rebirth stand out is how much care went into balancing character, story, and spectacle. There's real narrative momentum here, anchored by a story with thrilling stakes. Dinosaurs aren't just running amok in the world anymore, they're dying out. The world just isn't built for them. People don't even find them all that interesting anymore. They are more of just a burden and an annoyance. The story is set five years after the events of Dominion , dinosaurs are on the brink of extinction again as Earth's climate proves too hostile for them, except in one remote tropical biosphere near the equator. Within this last refuge, three colossal dinosaurs, rulers of land, sea, and air, hold genetic material believed to be the key to a revolutionary life-saving drug. Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a highly skilled operative hired by a pharmaceutical company to extract DNA from these prehistoric giants. She's joined by her trusted partner Duncan Kincaid ( Mahershala Ali ), the grizzled captain of their expedition ship, and Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey), a brilliant but out-of-his-element paleontologist. Their mission quickly spirals into a harrowing survival story when they respond to a distress signal from a capsized civilian vessel, unknowingly drawing a group of unsuspecting survivors into the chaos of this dino-infested wild zone. What begins as a calculated operation turns into a desperate fight to escape with their lives. Zora is a tough, capable operative, but there's real heart in her dynamic with Duncan Kincaid, who commands their expedition like a modern-day Ahab. The two have a sibling-like bond. Meanwhile, Dr. Henry Loomis has a nervous charm that brings a much-needed human lens to the chaos. You actually get to know and enjoy these characters and they are all likable, which makes the high-stakes dino action matter more. The movie build tension by making you care about these characters. Speaking of tension, Edwards absolutely brings the heat. There are moments here that will have audiences squirming, clutching their armrests, and maybe even shouting at the screen. Jump scares land hard. Long, silent build-ups give way to bursts of chaos. You can feel the Spielberg influence in every frame, from the way the camera lingers on faces to those classic slow-pans revealing some new prehistoric nightmare. Edwards clearly studied the master, and directed this film the way Spielberg would've directed it. What also elevates this movie is the writing. Original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp returned to write the script, and it shows. The dialogue is tight the pacing sharper, and the emotional arcs more satisfying. There's a narrative twist involving a capsized civilian boat that gets drawn into the chaos, adding a new perspective to the survival story. It's a clever addition that ramps up the stakes without feeling forced. There's also just a fun, wild energy pulsing through the movie. Mutated dinosaur hybrids stalk the jungle and characters crack under pressure. I saw it with a packed audience, and the crowd was into it, cheering, gasping, laughing. It reminded me of how moviegoing should feel during the summer, like a big, communal thrill ride. Jurassic World: Rebirth is the kind of course correction this franchise needed. It's entertaining, heartfelt, scary, and full of jaw-dropping dinoaur moments. Edwards made Jurassic movie that actually understands why we fell in love with the original movie in the first place.

First look at Jurassic World: The Experience at Gardens by the Bay's Cloud Forest
The warning signs, flashing lights and snapped cables can only mean one thing. Something big, prehistoric and full of teeth has escaped. And right on cue, the rockstar of the Jurassic World movie franchise, the Tyrannosaurus rex, roars to life as you round the corner. If you've always wondered what it's like to visit Isla Nublar, the fictional island home to de-extinct engineered dinosaurs, you can finally get a glimpse of it at the immersive exhibition Jurassic World: The Experience, which opens on Thursday (May 29). "Nublar" means "to cloud" in Spanish and no other location in Singapore is more fitting than Gardens by the Bay's misty Cloud Forest to stage the life-sized sculptures and animatronics equipped with motion sensors by Neon, the same team behind 2022's Avatar: The Experience. The pair of Brachiosauruses greeting you at the entrance, one of them with a towering three-storey-tall neck, is reminiscent of the first Jurassic Park movie in 1993. T-Rex and those slender-necked giants aren't the only bigwigs around. A pair of Velociraptors pose mid-action in their raid of the Pteranodons' nests hidden in the conservatory's Cloud Mountain. It's the perfect backdrop to imagine Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali in the upcoming new Jurassic World Rebirth movie that opens on Jul 3. A crashed container in the foliage reveals a confused bone-headed Stygimoloch trying to bust its container. Further down the path, you'll spot the long, swaying neck of another Brachiosaurus, this time, much closer than the pair at the entrance. If you spot a crowd gathering, chances are, the keepers have brought out the weeks-old baby dinosaurs, Stiggy and Bumpy, for a little show-and-tell and interaction. But not all of the smaller creatures are harmless like the Compsognathuses or Compys perched on rocks throughout Cloud Forest. They may be little, until you remember the little girl who wandered a little too far in the movies... You start to wonder, too, how good is your impression of Chris Pratt's Owen Grady, as you descend the escalator to meet Blue and the rest of the volatile velociraptors rattling their cages. But hold that thought as you come face to face with the fringed Dilophosaurus. These animatronics don't spit venom but they do spit – don't say we didn't warn you. The exhibition is also a chance to learn about the ferns, conifers and cycads that the dinosaurs fed on. At Evolution Walk, you'll even see the ancestors of plants, imagined in 3D reconstructions, that existed millions of years ago. There's no time limit to explore the exhibits but do allocate about an hour for the experience. And if you linger till past sunset, you'll be treated to a whole new different perspective.
