The fifth movie in the Jurassic Park franchise debuted this weekend. If you like dinosaurs, disasters, and more, try these materials:
Books:
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton: Where it all began. Crichton's first novel in this series (he only wrote two) starts the saga of genetically re-engineered dinosaurs wreaking havoc on an island. You might also want to revisit Spielberg's adaptation, as well.
Meg by Steve Alten: The megalodon was a prehistoric shark estimated to have reached a length of nearly 60 feet and weighing up to 38 tons. Jonas Taylor, deep sea diver and paleontologist has seen one alive today - but nobody believes him. A movie adaptation is due out this August.
The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle: Doyle's first novel featuring Professor Challenger sees the hot-headed professor travel to the Amazon basin where many extinct creatures still live.
Movies:
Rise of the Planet of the Apes: It's the ape's world, we're just living in it. At least, that's the premise for this prequel to the lengthy Planet of the Apes franchise. Genetic engineering, man against animal, and action-packed disasters!
12 Monkeys: This gloomy scifi flick also deals with an animals rights organization bent on releasing captive animals, much like Fallen Kingdom.
The Impossible: The second film from Fallen Kingdom director Juan Antonia Bayona, is loosely based on the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.
