Jurassic World can be enjoyed in less than two minutes — or at least a pretty fantastic Lego animation version of it can be. In a video posted earlier this week, Jurassic World in 90 Seconds, the entire blockbuster film is hilariously simplified and spoofed. It’s a must-watch even for those who have yet to check out the latest installment in the dinosaur-focused franchise.

To make a long story short — literally — and come up with the condensed version of Jurassic World, the creators had to pare down a film that’s over two hours long and choose the most important plot points. What they managed to fit in is impressive. There are plenty of rampaging dinosaurs, helicopters, and weapons, plus a healthy dose of hysteria. There’s even still time for a tender moment between Lego Owen and Lego Claire.

The oversimplification of the plot, along with the creative license the creators took with the dialogue, is amazing. The video takes the moments you sat and begged someone on the screen not to do something and injects them with humor. At one point, a character even says, “This was a terrible idea!” while being shaken around in the mouth of a raptor.

Jurassic World in 90 Seconds is just one of a handful of Lego Jurassic World clips made by BrotherhoodWorkshop. According to the group’s YouTube account, they “make awesome stop-motion and fantasy videos” with the hope of one day making feature films. So far, they’ve created a bevy of incredible Lego animations starring characters from familiar film franchises, including Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and more.

Sorry Millennials, but Jurassic Park was never a good movie

A child hides from raptors in the kitchen in Jurassic Park.

Jurassic World Dominion opened to big box office this past weekend, along with some of the worst reviews of the six-movie franchise -- a 30% score on Rotten Tomatoes -- which is saying something, given that most of the entries in this series have been panned by critics.

And yet, it's really not all that surprising that the films that sprung from the source have all been of negligible quality, given that the original 1993 Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg from the bestseller by Michael Crichton, really wasn't very good to begin with. Yes, it earned solid reviews at the time (along with grumblings by Roger Ebert and others), and, yes, it remains treasured by '90s kids. But looking at it without the lens of nostalgia or the excitement over digital dinosaurs that fueled its initial success, I argue that it doesn't hold up well at all.

5 games to play if you liked Jurassic World Dominion

Jurassic World Dominion is out to close the six-movie storyline that began with Steven Spielberg's all-time classic, but there are other ways for fans to satiate their appetite for dinosaur-themed content after leaving the theaters. Given the natural mainstream appeal of these awe-inspiring animals from the prehistoric ages, blockbuster IPs like Jurassic Park naturally paved the way for tie-in media when it comes to video games.

The most recent example would be developer Frontier Developments' Jurassic World Evolution 2 to help coincide with the newly released movie, but there are other dinosaur-themed -- or dinosaur-adjacent -- video games worth checking out outside of the synonymous Hollywood IP. Whether it's park simulators, action RPGs, or survival games, there's something for everyone to indulge their inner dinosaur enthusiast.

5 great dinosaur movies like Jurassic World Dominion

A T-Rex roaring triumphantly as a banner falls in Jurassic Park.

Steven Spielberg's adaptation of author Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park left a longstanding legacy in Hollywood, with a sixth mainline entry hitting theaters this week in the form of Jurassic World Dominion. Dinosaurs have also long been one of the most popular aspects of the planet's history, inspiring plenty of imagination about what these ancient animals were like and how they perished.

And while there aren't as many dinosaur movies as one might think given their natural awe-inspiring appeal, there have been a few noteworthy ones over the last few decades. Whether it's the landmark original movie in the Jurassic Park franchise, a beloved animated family classic, or a fascinating BBC documentary, there's enough range in the subgenre for audiences to indulge their excitement for the upcoming movie.
