After a two-man team collects a bone sample, the Mosasaurus devours their submersible. The Tyrannosaurus attacks the team, but the surviving members escape with the sample by helicopter. The Mosasaurus swims through the partially open underwater gates into the open ocean.

Three years later, a U.S. Senate committee debates whether Isla Nublar's dinosaurs should be saved from an impending volcanic eruption. Chaotician Dr. Ian Malcolm testifies that the dinosaurs should perish naturally to correct the wrongful cloning done by John Hammond.

Meanwhile, Jurassic World's former operations manager, Claire Dearing, has established the Dinosaur Protection Group to save the animals. After the Senate votes against government involvement in rescuing the animals, Hammond's former partner, Sir Benjamin Lockwood, invites Claire to his Northern California estate. Lockwood and his aide, Eli Mills, reveal a plan to relocate the dinosaurs to a new island sanctuary. Claire is needed to reactivate the park's tracking system to locate the animals, particularly Blue, the last surviving Velociraptor. She recruits Owen Grady, former Velociraptor trainer, to help capture Blue.

On Isla Nublar, Claire and former park technician Franklin Webb reactivate the online tracking system. Owen, paleo-veterinarian Zia Rodriguez, and a mercenary team led by Ken Wheatley, track and find Blue.

The encounter escalates, resulting in Blue being shot and Wheatley tranquilizing Owen. Wheatley abandons Owen, Claire, and Franklin on the island while forcibly taking Zia hostage to treat Blue. A volcano eruption begins, causing a massive dinosaur stampede and forcing the trio to escape. The ship, loaded with captured dinosaurs, departs as the remaining dinosaurs are left behind to die in the eruption. The trio sneaks aboard the ship and helps Zia transfuse Blue with Tyrannosaurus blood to save her life.

The captured dinosaurs are actually being transported to the Lockwood estate, where Lockwood's orphaned granddaughter, Maisie, overhears Mills and auctioneer Mr. Eversoll secretly planning to sell the dinosaurs on the black market. They will also preview the Indoraptor, a weaponized, transgenic dinosaur created by geneticist Dr. Henry Wu using Indominus rex and Velociraptor DNA.

Wu needs Blue's DNA to create an improved Indoraptor that follows commands, unaware that her blood is no longer pure. After Maisie informs Lockwood about the auction, he confronts Mills, who smothers him to death with a pillow. Maisie is later revealed to have been cloned from Lockwood's deceased daughter and the reason why Hammond ended their association.

The auctioned dinosaurs are being immediately shipped out. Franklin evades capture and frees Zia, but Owen and Claire have been apprehended. Owen incites a Stygimoloch into breaking open their cell. The two encounter Maisie and learn the Indoraptor is being sold despite Wu's protests that it is a prototype.

Owen disrupts the auction by luring the Stygimoloch into the room. In the ensuing chaos, Wheatley tranquilizes the Indoraptor to extract a tooth as a trophy, but the hybrid, feigning unconsciousness, kills him, along with Eversoll and others, as it escapes. The Indoraptor chases Owen, Claire, and Maisie throughout the mansion until Blue, released by Zia, attacks it. After a standoff atop a high glass roof, both animals crash through it, killing the Indoraptor by impaling him on a ceratopsid skull though Blue is unharmed. When a hydrogen cyanide gas leak threatens the caged dinosaurs, Claire attempts to free them. Owen convinces her not to, but Maisie opens the cages to save them. As Mills attempts to escape with the Indominus rex bone, the Tyrannosaurus devours him and tramples the bone. Owen, Claire, Maisie, Zia, and Franklin escape, while Blue and the other released dinosaurs flee the estate grounds.

In a new U.S. Senate hearing, Dr. Malcolm declares the beginning of a new Jurassic period, where humans and dinosaurs must coexist. The closing scenes depict the freed dinosaurs roaming the wilderness and outer urban areas.

• Rafe Spall as Eli Mills: Lockwood's ambitious assistant who recruits Owen and Claire to rescue the dinosaurs. Speaking of his character's actions over the course of the film, Spall said: "Ambition is such a powerful emotion, you can get wrapped up in it and end up doing things in order to succeed. This character believes he is doing right. He has been entrusted with pushing Lockwood's fortune into the future and making it survive after he dies. Mills feels he is simply doing what he was asked to do".
• Justice Smith as Franklin Webb: A former IT technician for Jurassic World who is now the Dinosaur Protection Group's systems analyst and hacker.
• Daniella Pineda as Zia Rodriguez: A former Marine who is now the Dinosaur Protection Group's paleoveterinarian.

• Toby Jones as Mr. Eversoll: An auctioneer host at Lockwood Estate who sells the Isla Nublar dinosaurs for profit.

He is only interested in whether or not it will make him a profit".
• Ted Levine as Ken Wheatley: A seasoned mercenary who commands the rescue operation on Isla Nublar.
• BD Wong as Dr. Henry Wu: The former head geneticist of both Jurassic World and the original Jurassic Park. Speaking of his character's actions, Wong stated: "I do think he's motivated by his love for science and his own ego, which is well supported by his massive achievements ...

During early conversations about the 2015 film Jurassic World, executive producer Steven Spielberg told director Colin Trevorrow that he was interested in having several more films made.{{cite web|url=https://collider.com/colin-trevorrow-talks-jurassic-world-sequels-blu-ray-and-more/ |title=Jurassic World: Colin Trevorrow Talks Building a Foundation for Future Installments |publisher=Collider.com |date=June 13, 2015 |access-date=June 13, 2015 |first=Steve |last=Weintraub |time=4:30–7:58 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150615093106/http://collider.com/colin-trevorrow-talks-jurassic-world-sequels-blu-ray-and-more/ |archive-date=June 15, 2015}} Trevorrow said in 2014 that they wanted to create something "less arbitrary and episodic" that could possibly "arc into a series that would feel like a complete story".{{cite news|url=https://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=40832 |title=Exclusive: Jurassic World Sequels Planned |work=Empire |first=Phil |last=de Semlyen |date=April 23, 2014 |access-date=May 31, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617084911/http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=40832 |archive-date=June 17, 2015}} Trevorrow also said he would direct the sequel if asked, but later decided against this, saying he would be involved "in some way, but not as director".

Universal announced a sequel in July 2015, referred to as Jurassic World 2, scheduled for a June 22, 2018 release date in the US. Trevorrow was announced to write the script with his writing partner Derek Connolly, as they had for Jurassic World. It was also announced that the film would be produced by Marshall, and that Spielberg and Trevorrow would act as executive producers, while Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard would reprise their roles from the previous film.{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jurassic-world-2-set-2018-810727 |title='Jurassic World 2' Set for 2018 |first=Rebecca |last=Ford |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=July 23, 2015 |access-date=July 24, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150724202506/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jurassic-world-2-set-2018-810727 |archive-date=July 24, 2015}} Pratt and Howard were paid $8 and $10 million for their involvement, respectively.{{Cite web |last=Lang |first=Brent |date=May 8, 2018 |title=Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence and Other Star Salaries Revealed |url=https://variety.com/2018/film/news/celebrity-salaries-daniel-craig-jennifer-lawrence-leonardo-dicaprio-1202801717/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180618152314/https://variety.com/2018/film/news/celebrity-salaries-daniel-craig-jennifer-lawrence-leonardo-dicaprio-1202801717/ |archive-date=June 18, 2018 |access-date=February 26, 2023 |website=Variety}} Unlike its predecessors, Trevorrow said the sequel would not involve "a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island", an idea that he found repetitive. Trevorrow spoke of the film's possible open-source storyline: "It's almost like InGen is Mac, but what if PC gets their hands on it? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur?"

He spent four weeks with Bayona in Barcelona, discussing reference pictures and background details, as well as Bayona's ideas for the Lockwood mansion.

For the film's second half where dinosaurs are transported by boat to the mainland, Ecuador and Peru had both been scouted as possible filming locations and settings. Marshall thought that Cabo San Lucas would be ideal, but these locations ultimately did not work for the film's story. Although the film would be shot partly in England, Spielberg felt the country was too far from the fictional Isla Nublar to be used as the in-film setting for the second half. He and the producers did not want the film to spend too much time on a boat. Crowley stated: "Rather than making it a movie about traveling on a boat, which is not very exciting, you needed to get to the place".

Although Spielberg was heavily involved in the development of ideas for Jurassic World, he had Trevorrow and Connolly devise their own ideas for the sequel. He retained final approval on the project. In June 2015, about two weeks after the theatrical release of Jurassic World, Trevorrow embarked on a road trip from Los Angeles to his home state of Vermont. Connolly agreed to accompany him so they could discuss a basic set of ideas Trevorrow had for the film. During their eight-day trip,{{cite news |last=Yamato |first=Jen |title=How 'Jurassic World' used the DNA of a beloved franchise to build a bold new universe |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-ca-mn-jurassic-world-evolution-20180615-story.html |access-date=June 19, 2018 |work=Los Angeles Times |date=June 15, 2018 |archive-date=November 9, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109032628/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-ca-mn-jurassic-world-evolution-20180615-story.html |url-status=live}} they began work on the script and devised the basic story.{{cite news|last=Valentini |first=Valentina I. |title=Jurassic World 2 Is Officially Coming – More Chris Pratt for Us All! |url=http://www.etonline.com/news/168600_jurassic_world_2_is_coming_more_chris_pratt/ |access-date=June 16, 2017 |work=Entertainment Tonight |date=July 23, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170129064122/http://www.etonline.com/news/168600_jurassic_world_2_is_coming_more_chris_pratt/ |archive-date=January 29, 2017}}{{cite news|last=White |first=James |title=Colin Trevorrow On The Future Of Jurassic World |url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/colin-trevorrow-future-jurassic-world/ |access-date=June 16, 2017 |work=Empire |date=September 22, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170224202905/http://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/colin-trevorrow-future-jurassic-world/ |archive-date=February 24, 2017}}

Trevorrow said the story was inspired by a quote from Dr. Alan Grant in the first film: "Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution, have suddenly been thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea of what to expect?"{{cite web|url=https://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-park-quote-inspired-jurassic-world/ |title=Which 'Jurassic Park' Quote Inspired 'Jurassic World'?

The film is also based on concepts from Michael Crichton's novel Jurassic Park (1990) and its sequel The Lost World (1995), and includes dialogue from the first novel. Isla Nublar's volcano is in the first novel, and the writers chose to incorporate it into the film's plot.{{cite web |title=Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – Colin Trevorrow Interview |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isB4FaG_1j4 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200902232347/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isB4FaG_1j4&gl=US&hl=en| archive-date=2020-09-02 | url-status=dead|website=Flickering Myth YouTube channel |access-date=June 22, 2018 |date=June 11, 2018}} Trevorrow compared the destruction of Isla Nublar to "the burning down of a church or a temple. I honestly think it's like killing off a character in a way, and if you're going to do that, as long as you approach it with the proper respect and acknowledgement that you understand how indelible and permanent what you're doing is, then hopefully people will have an emotional response but they won't hate you for it". The idea to include a "silent partner" for John Hammond was also inspired by the Jurassic Park novel. Although the character of Benjamin Lockwood was not featured in the novel, the book depicts the early years leading up to the cloning of dinosaurs. This made Trevorrow realize there would have been many people involved in such a project, convincing him that someone like Lockwood would be among those people.

In his initial film treatment, Trevorrow had included story elements that Marshall and Crowley considered excessive for a single film. The producers felt it was important to include details about Owen and Claire's lives after the events of Jurassic World.{{cite news|last=Sciretta|first=Peter|title='Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Producers Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley on Going Back to the Park [Set Visit Interview] (page 1 of 3)|url=https://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-interview-frank-marshall-pat-crowley/|access-date=April 23, 2018|work=/Film|date=April 23, 2018|archive-date=November 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109011855/https://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-interview-frank-marshall-pat-crowley/|url-status=live}} Although the original ending was the same as the final film, Trevorrow had wanted to include more details about the integration of dinosaurs into the world. He chose to remove them to keep the story focused.{{cite news |last=Sciretta |first=Peter |date=June 26, 2018 |title=Exclusive: Colin Trevorrow Explains the 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Ending, Teases Where 'Jurassic World 3' Will Go |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/colin-trevorrow-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-interview/2/ |work=/Film |access-date=July 5, 2018 |archive-date=October 30, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201030113841/https://www.slashfilm.com/colin-trevorrow-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-interview/2/ |url-status=live}} The script's structure, Trevorrow said, was inspired by Spielberg's 2015 film Bridge of Spies, in which two seemingly unrelated stories "collide in the middle, and move on together". Trevorrow was also inspired by the 1975 film Three Days of the Condor: "It's one of those places where you think you know what the score is, and then everything changes, and then suddenly you don't know who to trust".{{cite news|last=Trenholm|first=Richard|title=Colin Trevorrow on Star Wars exit and Jurassic World experiments|url=https://www.cnet.com/news/colin-trevorrow-on-star-wars-exit-and-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-experiments/|access-date=June 3, 2018|publisher=CNET|date=June 2, 2018|archive-date=November 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109023733/https://www.cnet.com/news/colin-trevorrow-on-star-wars-exit-and-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-experiments/|url-status=live}}

The film includes ideas previously featured in a rejected 2004 draft for Jurassic Park IV (later Jurassic World), presented in the same structure: a return to Isla Nublar followed by a second half set in a large Gothic building on the mainland. The idea of selling weaponized dinosaurs was also in the rejected draft, which Trevorrow had read while writing the first Jurassic World film.{{cite web |last=Lamble |first=Ryan |title=Jurassic World 3: How a 2004 Script Holds the Future's Answers |url=https://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/jurassic-world-2/274173/jurassic-world-3-how-a-2004-script-holds-the-futures-answers |website=Den of Geek |access-date=June 22, 2018 |date=June 21, 2018 |archive-date=September 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180927195021/http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/jurassic-world-2/274173/jurassic-world-3-how-a-2004-script-holds-the-futures-answers |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last=Singer |first=Matt |title=How a Jurassic Park IV Script Inspired the Jurassic World Movies |url=https://screencrush.com/jurassic-park-iv-script-sayles-in-jurassic-world/ |website=ScreenCrush |access-date=June 22, 2018 |date=June 13, 2018 |archive-date=November 6, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201106043359/https://screencrush.com/jurassic-park-iv-script-sayles-in-jurassic-world/ |url-status=live}} The concept of weaponized dinosaurs came from Spielberg.{{cite news |last=Lussier |first=Germain |title=Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Was Born Out of Several Moral and Ethical Dilemmas |url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-was-born-out-of-several-1826843857 |access-date=June 19, 2018 |work=io9 |date=June 18, 2018 |archive-date=November 23, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201123171722/https://io9.gizmodo.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-was-born-out-of-several-1826843857 |url-status=live}} Because of criticism of the death of Zara in the previous film, Trevorrow said for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: "We made sure that every death was earned. Everybody deserves their death in this movie, a lesson learned. In 2018 everyone earns it. Horrible people".

Regarding the idea of human cloning, Trevorrow said that "we're so much closer to cloning humans than we are to cloning dinosaurs. It felt like far less of a leap to me than dinosaurs do. [...] To have a character who has such deep love and has felt such loss and the inability to go on, I think is something we all feel.

He added, "we knew that we didn't want to continue to make movies about the dangers of messing with science. We want to tell a story about where we are now, which is that we have messed with science, we have fundamentally altered our world and now we're dealing with the consequences".{{cite web |last=Lussier |first=Germain |date=June 25, 2018 |title=The Makers of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Solve Some of the Film's Biggest Mysteries |url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-makers-of-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-solve-some-1826960515 |work=io9 |access-date=July 5, 2018 |archive-date=December 5, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181205003621/https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-makers-of-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-solve-some-1826960515 |url-status=live}} Trevorrow was nervous about how audiences would react to the story's human cloning aspect, an idea supported by Spielberg, who was excited about the questions it could raise in the film's sequel.

One of Trevorrow's ideas was to include Jeff Goldblum's character of Ian Malcolm, who appeared in the franchise's earlier films.{{cite web|last=Sciretta|first=Peter|title='Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Director J.A.

The character of Lowery, a park control-room employee from the previous Jurassic World film, was considered for a return in Fallen Kingdom. Trevorrow ultimately replaced him with the character Franklin Webb, saying that Lowery did not have quite the same spirit: "We did like the idea of [Zia and Franklin] being pretty idealistic young people who are activists who really believe in the cause that Claire believes in. I wasn't really able to shoehorn [Lowery] into that, he's kind of a cynical guy".{{cite web |last=Evangelista |first=Chris |title=Jake Johnson's 'Jurassic World' Character Was Almost in 'Fallen Kingdom' |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/jake-johnson-fallen-kingdom/ |website=/Film |access-date=September 21, 2019 |date=July 7, 2018 |archive-date=October 20, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201020210110/https://www.slashfilm.com/jake-johnson-fallen-kingdom/ |url-status=live}} Actor Jake Johnson had met with Connolly to discuss his character's potential appearance in Fallen Kingdom, saying later that Lowery "is a different guy because of what he went through in the first movie.

After Bayona was hired, he began reading Crichton's novels - including Jurassic Park and The Lost World - for inspiration.{{cite web|url=http://jurassicworld.org/index.php|title=JA Bayona studying Michael Crichton Jurassic Park novels to prepare for Jurassic World Sequel!|date=April 26, 2016|publisher=JurassicWorld.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160427000315/http://www.jurassicworld.org/index.php|archive-date=April 27, 2016}} He also re-watched each of the previous Jurassic Park films. Trevorrow and Connolly began working with Bayona in July 2016, to perfect the script to the director's liking.{{cite web|url=http://jurassicoutpost.com/exclusive-colin-trevorrow-talks-jurassic-world-2-surprise-guest-j-bayona/ |title=Colin Trevorrow Talks Jurassic World 2 and More!

The film's underwater opening sequence was already in the script, and Bayona asked Trevorrow to push for it to become a bigger scene with a larger set. Because the film has a lengthy period until the action scenes involving the volcano, Bayona felt it was necessary to expand the opening sequence to be action oriented. He also expanded Blue's surgery scene, as he considered it a key moment demonstrating Owen's relationship with her. In addition, Bayona had modifications made to the sequence set on board the Arcadia, the ship that transports the dinosaurs. He felt the sequence was too lengthy and required some action, leading to his suggestion of Owen and Claire retrieving blood from the T. rex to aid in Blue's surgery. Bayona and Trevorrow removed certain moments from the final script that they believed would be better for the sequel, which would depict dinosaurs having spread around the world.

Trevorrow said Fallen Kingdom would be more "suspenseful and scary" than its predecessor: "It's just the way it's designed; it's the way the story plays out. I knew I wanted Bayona to direct it long before anyone ever heard that it was a possibility, so the whole thing was just built around his skillset".

Trevorrow said the film's dinosaurs would be "a parable of the treatment animals receive today: the abuse, medical experimentation, pets, having wild animals in zoos like prisons, the use the military has made of them, animals as weapons".{{cite web|url=https://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-2-details/ |title='Jurassic World 2' Will Be a Parable For Animal Abuse |last=Anderton |first=Ethan |date=October 11, 2016 |work=/Film |access-date=October 17, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161018204400/http://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-2-details/ |archive-date=October 18, 2016}} In Trevorrow and Connolly's draft, the dinosaurs would be sold rather than auctioned. Spielberg and Trevorrow liked Bayona's idea to have the sale changed to an auction, which Bayona believed to be "the best way possible to show the greed in those characters. Because all the people are together in the same room betting for the animals". Trevorrow said that they sought to explore "the uglier side" of humanity and "our cruel treatment" of living creatures. According to Trevorrow, the auction scene was initially envisioned as "a dirty, unsavory bunch of animal traffickers" but he said that Bayona "kept us from going too far", embracing the darker elements while adding his own "sense of playfulness and humor". Trevorrow described the final auction scene as "more like a Sotheby's auction for the super-wealthy" while stating: "I think it played much better for kids, and was the right choice when balanced against the poor treatment of the animals we were seeing, which could have become irreparably sad".{{cite web |title=Exclusive: Colin Trevorrow Shares His Experiences with 'Fallen Kingdom' + Talks Hopes for 'Jurassic World 3' |url=https://jurassicoutpost.com/exclusive-colin-trevorrow-shares-his-experiences-with-fallen-kingdom-talks-hopes-for-jurassic-world-3/ |website=Jurassic Outpost |access-date=September 21, 2019 |date=December 13, 2018 |archive-date=December 19, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181219110851/https://jurassicoutpost.com/exclusive-colin-trevorrow-shares-his-experiences-with-fallen-kingdom-talks-hopes-for-jurassic-world-3/ |url-status=live}} Trevorrow said that with the auction, "the worst instincts of mankind are revealed.

Discussing Levine's character, Bayona said: "He came with this idea of creating this kind of military man. He just wanted to portray the most hateable character possible. [...] And he was so creative on set, trying to give ideas, bringing story notes to make this character more and more hateable".

The film includes several indirect references to U.S. President Donald Trump, including an idea from Trevorrow where a news ticker says the "U.S. president" has questioned the "existence of dinosaurs in the first place".{{cite web |last=Weintraub |first=Steve |date=June 24, 2018 |title=Colin Trevorrow on 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' and Planning the Ending for 'Jurassic World 3' |url=https://collider.com/colin-trevorrow-interview-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom/ |work=Collider |at=2:47 |access-date=July 5, 2018 |archive-date=January 9, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200109071940/https://collider.com/colin-trevorrow-interview-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom/ |url-status=live}} Trevorrow included the line because he felt that there was an ongoing "strong denial of science" in the world.

In Hawaii, scenes where characters are running were filmed with the use of the Edge Arm, a stabilized camera that was attached to a crane, which was mounted to a truck that drove alongside the actors. This specialized camera allowed for scenes to be shot steadily despite the truck being driven over rough terrain.{{cite news|last=Evangelista|first=Chris|title=Sequel Bits: 'Hobbs and Shaw', 'Jurassic World', 'Mission: Impossible', 'Doom', 'Rabid', 'Deadpool 2'|url=https://www.slashfilm.com/sequel-bits-hobbs-and-shaw-jurassic-world-mission-impossible-doom-rabid-deadpool-2/|access-date=May 26, 2018|work=/Film|date=May 16, 2018|archive-date=August 14, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200814022106/https://www.slashfilm.com/sequel-bits-hobbs-and-shaw-jurassic-world-mission-impossible-doom-rabid-deadpool-2/|url-status=live}} The film includes a scene on Isla Nublar where Claire and Franklin are riding in a ball-shaped Jurassic World Gyrosphere ride to evade dinosaurs. It was shot in England, and at Kualoa Ranch in Oahu, Hawaii. Bayona described the scene as one of the film's biggest challenges.{{cite news|title=Jurassic World: Bukott birodalom – A pörgőgömb|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PX5u_LlSLI| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211107/6PX5u_LlSLI| archive-date=2021-11-07 | url-status=live|access-date=May 26, 2018|work=Universal International Pictures|date=May 24, 2018}}{{cbignore}}

In Hawaii, the Edge Arm was used to film the actors riding in the Gyrosphere as it was hauled on a trailer to simulate its movement. In England, an outdoor roller coaster track with a 40-foot drop was constructed for the Gyrosphere, which Howard and Smith rode in to shoot a scene where the ride plummets off a cliff and into the water surrounding Isla Nublar.{{cite web |last=Failes |first=Ian |title=The Unexpected Techniques 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Used to Create Super-Realistic FX |url=https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/nation/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-special-effects-fx |website=Thrillist |access-date=July 13, 2018 |date=July 9, 2018 |archive-date=September 18, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200918172846/https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/nation/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-special-effects-fx |url-status=live}} Although this portion of the scene could have been shot with the use of a green screen, Bayona wanted the actors to express genuine fear. The last part of the scene was shot at Pinewood Studios, where a large indoor tank was constructed and filled with water to depict the submerged ride as Owen tries to break it open and rescue Claire and Franklin. This portion was filmed in five different takes that were merged to make it seem like a single continuous shot. Pratt was aided by a diving instructor while he shot the scene, which also involved Howard and Smith being underwater.{{cite news|last=Weiss|first=Josh|title=Watch Chris Pratt Take the Plunge with Diving Pro for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Underwater Stunt|url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/watch-chris-pratt-take-the-plunge-with-diving-pro-for-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom|access-date=May 26, 2018|work=SyFy Wire|date=May 24, 2018|archive-date=October 24, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201024064443/https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/watch-chris-pratt-take-the-plunge-with-diving-pro-for-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom|url-status=dead}} Filming in the tank lasted five days, and it required a team of 85.{{cite news|last=Sharma|first=Rucha|title=Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard reveal filthy details from 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' sets|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/hollywood/report-chris-pratt-and-bryce-dallas-howard-reveal-filthy-details-from-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-sets-2619050|access-date=May 26, 2018|work=Daily News and Analysis|date=May 24, 2018|archive-date=June 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190603162329/https://www.dnaindia.com/hollywood/report-chris-pratt-and-bryce-dallas-howard-reveal-filthy-details-from-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-sets-2619050|url-status=live}} It was shot primarily by a second unit crew, as Bayona was busy directing scenes on other sound stages.{{cite news |last=Sciretta |first=Peter |title='Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Director J.A.

Much of the video diary footage was improvised by Pratt. Bayona, at the suggestion of his film editor, later decided to intercut Blue's surgery scene with footage from the video diaries.

In April 2017, filming took place at Hartland Park—formerly the Pyestock jet engine test site—in Fleet, Hampshire, England,{{cite web|title=Footage emerges of Jurassic World 2 filming in England |url=http://jurassicoutpost.com/footage-emerges-jurassic-world-2-filming-england-potential-spoilers/ |website=Jurassic Outpost |access-date=April 21, 2017 |date=April 20, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170422033744/http://jurassicoutpost.com/footage-emerges-jurassic-world-2-filming-england-potential-spoilers/ |archive-date=April 22, 2017}} where the film's opening sequence was shot.

The exterior of the Arcadia was created entirely through computer-generated effects by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), which worked on the previous films. The ship's interior was constructed by Nicholson and his team as a large set at Pinewood Studios, and after filming, it was rebuilt to depict the large rooftop of the Lockwood Estate. The exterior of the Cragside country house in Northumberland, England, along with its coniferous surroundings, was also used to depict the Lockwood Estate exterior. The film crew took plate shots of Cragside and used a computer to combine the shots with footage filmed on set to create the exterior of the Lockwood Estate. No actors were involved in the Cragside shoot.{{cite news |title=Cragside stars in new Jurassic World movie |url=https://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/cragside-stars-in-new-jurassic-world-movie-1-9225007 |access-date=July 13, 2018 |work=Northumberland Gazette |date=June 27, 2018 |archive-date=September 19, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180919024842/https://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/cragside-stars-in-new-jurassic-world-movie-1-9225007 |url-status=live}}{{cite news |last=Duke |first=Simon |title=Cragside has starring role in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom |url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/film-news/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-cragside-14835206 |access-date=July 13, 2018 |work=Evening Chronicle |date=June 27, 2018 |archive-date=June 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180627143753/https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/film-news/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-cragside-14835206 |url-status=live}}

Nicholson previsualized each of the sets he and his team built to ensure they would be large enough for the intended scenes. He noted: "Someone can tell you a Velociraptor is X-feet long, but until you see it in the space, you can't appreciate what that means in terms of your set and the action that needs to take place within it". The interior of the multi-floor Lockwood Estate was built entirely on sound stages at Pinewood Studios. The estate set included Eli Mills's office, Dr. Wu's large underground laboratory, an underground dinosaur containment facility, separate bedrooms belonging to Benjamin and Maisie Lockwood, and a large library with dinosaur skeletons and artifacts. When filming was completed in the Lockwood library, the set was redecorated and converted into the estate's underground garage, where the dinosaur auction takes place. Pratt said the film involved significantly more stunts than its predecessor. An improvised fist fight scene, between Owen and several men during the auction, was added late in filming. It was the first such scene to be featured in the film series, and was filmed in a single continuous shot with the use of a dolly track.{{cite web |last1=Travis |first1=Ben |last2=De Semlyen |first2=Nick |date=July 3, 2018 |title=18 Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Secrets from JA Bayona and Colin Trevorrow |url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/18-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-secrets-ja-bayona-colin-trevorrow/ |work=Empire |access-date=July 5, 2018 |archive-date=November 22, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181122054445/https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/18-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-secrets-ja-bayona-colin-trevorrow/ |url-status=live}}

David Vickery and his team at ILM created the volcanic special effects and consulted volcanologists for research. According to Vickery, the team asked "how a volcano of this type might erupt" and also requested information about "the various stages of lava and pyroclastic flow. We are speeding it up a bit for the sake of our film, but it is definitely all based on real science". The lava was created through digital effects, although one scene used cat litter set on fire as a stand-in on set, so the actors would know where to react. The scene was set in an Isla Nublar bunker as lava begins dripping from the roof. The litter had been soaked in flammable liquid, and was dropped from 12 different nozzles above the set.{{cite news |last=Libbey |first=Dirk |title=Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Burned Cat Litter To Mimic Lava On Set |url=https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2447970/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-burned-cat-litter-to-mimic-lava-on-set |access-date=July 13, 2018 |work=CinemaBlend |date=July 10, 2018 |archive-date=November 25, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125223713/https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2447970/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-burned-cat-litter-to-mimic-lava-on-set |url-status=live}}

The Main Street section of the Jurassic World theme park was rebuilt on Police Beach in Hawaii for a scene where Owen and Claire return to the island. The set had been built previously in Louisiana for filming of the previous Jurassic World, but was dismantled after filming concluded. For the sequel, Nicholson had part of the Main Street practically built, although the park's visitor center could not be constructed in its entirety because of its large size. Unbuilt portions of the park were created by ILM using digital set extensions. Main Street was the largest set built in Hawaii, and required more than three months to complete. Many of the same prop makers returned to recreate the Main Street set, which then had to be aged to give the appearance of abandonment.

The film's dinosaurs were created using a combination of animatronics and computer-generated imagery (CGI). Special effects artist Neal Scanlan served as the film's creature effects supervisor, while Vickery and Alex Wuttke were visual effects supervisors. Scanlan worked on the animatronic dinosaurs, while Vickery and his ILM team created versions of the dinosaurs through CGI. ILM animators in Vancouver worked on dinosaur stampede scenes, while ILM's London studio created the remaining creature scenes. Approximately 52 ILM animators worked on the film.

Scanlan worked closely with Bayona and Vickery to create the creatures. Vickery and ILM did extensive research to accurately create and depict the dinosaurs, which included consulting with paleontologists. The ILM team also referred to elephants and rhinos to determine how the dinosaurs should move and behave. Dinosaur expert John Hankla, of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, served as an advisor on the film. Hankla also provided several dinosaur fossil recreations for the film,{{cite news |last=Kroschel |first=Matt |title=Dinosaur Lover Hopes To Pass Along Love Of Fossils To Next Generation |url=https://denver.cbslocal.com/2018/05/31/dinosaurs-fossils-jurassic-park/ |access-date=September 21, 2019 |publisher=CBS |date=May 31, 2018 |archive-date=May 29, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529234736/https://denver.cbslocal.com/2018/05/31/dinosaurs-fossils-jurassic-park/ |url-status=live}} including an accurately sized Velociraptor skeleton that appears in the background at the Lockwood Estate's library of dinosaur skeletons.{{cite web |last=Lesnick |first=Silas |title=Down to a Science |url=https://moviebill.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/JWFK-FINAL-compressed.pdf |website=Moviebill |access-date=September 21, 2019 |pages=10–11 |date=Summer 2018 |archive-date=May 29, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529200443/https://moviebill.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/JWFK-FINAL-compressed.pdf |url-status=live}} After reading fan thoughts on dinosaurs and speaking with children, Bayona realized that dinosaur textures and colors were often brought up and said: "I thought that was the area where I could play with. They feel somehow a little bit more exotic and richer in this movie". New research had also suggested that real dinosaurs were more colorful and brighter than previously thought.

The film features more dinosaurs than any previous film in the series. Bayona wanted to include several new dinosaurs never seen in earlier films, including Allosaurus, Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Sinoceratops, Stygimoloch, and the fictional Indoraptor.{{cite web |last=Davis |first=Erik |title=Exclusive Interview: 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Director J.A.

The white Indoraptor was eventually removed from the script as the story was considered detailed enough without it. Dilophosaurus was featured in the script, but its scene went un-filmed as Bayona decided it was not necessary. The scene would take place on board the Arcadia, in which Owen and Claire would encounter the Dilophosaurus in a cage. Bayona felt that the scenes on board the ship were long enough already. Baryonyx and Carnotaurus were among the creatures created through CGI.

Having directed Jurassic World, Trevorrow was familiar with how animatronics worked and wrote scenes for the sequel that would allow for their use. For example, animatronics are incapable of certain actions such as running.{{cite news|last=Freeman |first=Molly |title=Jurassic World Director Says Sequel Will Be A Better Movie |url=https://screenrant.com/jurassic-world-2-colin-trevorrow-sequel-better/ |access-date=June 8, 2017 |work=Screen Rant |date=June 6, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170607054706/http://screenrant.com/jurassic-world-2-colin-trevorrow-sequel-better/ |archive-date=June 7, 2017}} The film features more animatronic dinosaurs than any previous sequel,{{cite news|last=Trumbore|first=Dave|title='Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Behind-the-Scenes Video Features a Lot of Dinosaurs|url=https://collider.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-behind-the-scenes-video/|access-date=December 9, 2017|work=Collider|date=December 6, 2017|archive-date=December 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171210155332/http://collider.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-behind-the-scenes-video|url-status=live}} and the animatronics used were more technologically advanced than in the earlier films. Five animatronic dinosaurs were created for the film, whereas the previous film featured only one. More animatronics were used because the film features closer interaction between humans and dinosaurs than its predecessor, including a scene where Howard rides atop the sedated T. rex.{{cite news|last=Evangelista|first=Chris|title=New 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Featurette Has Bryce Dallas Howard Riding A T-Rex|url=https://www.slashfilm.com/fallen-kingdom-featurette/|access-date=May 26, 2018|work=/Film|date=May 18, 2018|archive-date=May 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180522021412/http://www.slashfilm.com/fallen-kingdom-featurette/|url-status=live}} Bayona said that animatronics "are very helpful on set, especially for the actors so they have something to perform against.

In the balance, we ask ourselves if it is economically and artistically more valuable to do it that way, or as a post-production effect".

Spielberg suggested to Bayona that he not overfill his shots with animatronic dinosaurs, in order to give the impression that the dinosaurs were bigger. Scanlan spent more than eight months at Pinewood Studios working on the creatures before and during filming, with a crew of approximately 35 people.{{cite news |last=King |first=Darryn |title=In 'Jurassic World', Old-School Effects Make a Comeback |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-jurassic-world-old-school-effects-make-a-comeback-1528896399 |access-date=June 13, 2018 |work=The Wall Street Journal |date=June 13, 2018 |archive-date=June 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613222049/https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-jurassic-world-old-school-effects-make-a-comeback-1528896399 |url-status=live}} His team created functional animatronic models of the T. rex, the Indoraptor and Blue, while ILM worked on CGI versions of the creatures.

• The T. rex was one of the first animatronic creatures needed for filming, in the form of a full-scale head and shoulders. ILM sent Scanlan a model of the T. rex from its appearance in Jurassic World. Scanlan used it to create a full-scale 3D print of the T. rex head and shoulders. The life-sized animatronic, which had the ability to breathe and move its head, was controlled with joysticks.{{cite news|last=Anderton|first=Ethan|title='Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Has More Animatronic Dinosaurs Than Any 'Jurassic Park' Sequel|url=https://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-animatronic-dinosaurs/|access-date=April 23, 2018|work=/Film|date=April 23, 2018|archive-date=April 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180423204007/http://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-animatronic-dinosaurs/|url-status=live}} It was used for a scene where the sedated creature is inside a cage while Owen and Claire attempt to retrieve blood from it. The beginning shots of the scene were created using only the animatronic, while the ending shots solely used CGI. The middle portion of the scene used a combination of the two methods. Within the film's story, the T. rex is portrayed as the same individual featured in previous films.{{cite web|last=Scott |first=Ryan |title=Original Jurassic Park T-Rex Will Return in Jurassic World 2 |url=http://movieweb.com/jurassic-world-2-classic-tyrannosaurus-rex-returning-rexy/ |website=MovieWeb |access-date=May 7, 2017 |date=April 3, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170420043826/http://movieweb.com/jurassic-world-2-classic-tyrannosaurus-rex-returning-rexy/ |archive-date=April 20, 2017}} Trevorrow said: "We've been following this same character since the beginning; she's the same T. rex that was in Jurassic Park and in Jurassic World. She is iconic—not just because she's a T. rex, but because she's this T. rex".
• The Blue animatronic was created to lie down on an operating table, depicting the animal in an injured state while the character of Zia operates on the creature. Up to 12 puppeteers, hidden under the operating table, were needed to control the animatronic during filming. The scene was shot twice, with and without the Blue animatronic, and the two versions were later combined for a seamless effect. In creating Blue through CGI, the animators referred to the animal's appearance in the previous film. According to Vickery, Blue's movements were designed to resemble a dog: "You look at the way Blue cocks her head and looks up at you. It's exactly like a dog. You're trying to sort of connect the dinosaur with things that you understand as a human".{{cite news |last=Mallenbaum |first=Carly |title='Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' premiere: Chris Pratt and cast speak fondly about Blue |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2018/06/13/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-dinosaurs-blue-premiere/697135002/ |access-date=June 13, 2018 |work=USA Today |date=June 13, 2018 |archive-date=June 14, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180614022413/https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2018/06/13/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-dinosaurs-blue-premiere/697135002/ |url-status=live}}
• The Indoraptor was primarily created through CGI, while a practical head, neck, shoulders, foot and arm were created for close-up shots.{{cite web |last=Alexander |first=Bryan |title=Meet the Indoraptor, the scaly, terrifying new villain of Jurassic World |url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movies/2018/06/22/meet-the-indoraptor-the-scaly-terrifying-new-villain-of-jurassic-world.html |website=USA Today |access-date=July 5, 2018 |date=June 22, 2018 |archive-date=June 23, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180623022652/https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movies/2018/06/22/meet-the-indoraptor-the-scaly-terrifying-new-villain-of-jurassic-world.html |url-status=live}} For some scenes, an inflatable Indoraptor stand-in was operated by two puppeteers on set, to be later replaced by a CGI version of the creature. The Indoraptor was designed to have long human-like arms. The creature is depicted as a quadruped and biped, with a height of approximately {{cvt|10|ft}} tall while standing on two legs. Bayona chose black for the Indoraptor{{'}}s color because he wanted the creature to have the appearance of a black shadow, saying "it's very terrifying when you see the Indoraptor in the dark because you can only see the eyes and the teeth". The front teeth and long claws were inspired by Count Orlok in Nosferatu.{{cite web |last=Bui |first=Hoai-Tran |title=Exclusive: 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Blu-ray Clip Shows How the VFX Team Built the Indoraptor |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-blu-ray-clip/ |website=/Film |access-date=September 21, 2019 |date=September 13, 2018 |archive-date=September 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921214118/https://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-blu-ray-clip/ |url-status=live}}

Scanlan's team also made puppeteering aids, rod puppets, and several prop dinosaurs, all created by coordinating with Vickery to ensure a consistent result between the practical effects and CGI. Animal motions that could not be perfected with puppetry, such as blinking, were created with computer technology. Among the puppeteer dinosaurs were baby Velociraptor used for a scene with Pratt. The scene's final, wider shots used two-wheeled, remote-controlled toys to stand-in for the baby Velociraptor on set. The toys included a spring which gave them the ability to jump. The feature was used to get a genuinely startled reaction from Pratt.

Although motion capture was used in the previous film to depict Velociraptor, ILM determined after several tests the technology would not be adequate for depicting dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. They chose instead to use key frame animation done for the previous films. However, some motion capture was done as a form of previsualization to aid Bayona. ILM used key framing to create scenes involving a large number of dinosaurs and referred to high-speed photography of horses racing for aid in creating such scenes.{{cite web |last=Robertson |first=Barbara |date=July 3, 2018 |title=How ILM Blended Practical and Digital Effects for 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' |url=https://www.awn.com/vfxworld/how-ilm-blended-practical-and-digital-effects-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom |work=Animation World Network |access-date=July 5, 2018 |archive-date=June 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190611150421/https://www.awn.com/vfxworld/how-ilm-blended-practical-and-digital-effects-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom |url-status=live}} A fight between Blue and the Indoraptor, set in Maisie's bedroom, was designed in London and key framed by ILM. Animation supervisor Jance Rubinchik said the fight was the "trickiest sequence" because of the lack of previsualization.

According to Bayona, a Brachiosaurus shown dying in the volcanic eruption is meant to be the same individual that is first seen in the original Jurassic Park. The Brachiosaurus in Fallen Kingdom was created using the same animations from the 1993 film. The dinosaur's death was the last shot on the entire film to be finished; Bayona and the post-production team struggled to perfect the CGI of the scene with only several days left to complete it. They worked through the final night to perfect the colors and composition, shortly before the film's release.

For advice on veterinary procedures and animatronic movements, the filmmakers hired Jonathan Cranston, a Gloucestershire veterinary surgeon, who was recommended because of his experience with the wildlife in South Africa. Cranston advised the cast and crew to help accurately depict complex veterinarian procedures involving the dinosaurs. He also advised the puppeteers on creating subtle and authentic animal movements. Cranston was on set for 12 days, primarily at Pinewood Studios, and worked with Bayona on two scenes.{{cite news|last=Baldwin|first=Louisa|title=Meet the Gloucestershire vet who had a major role in the upcoming Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom film|url=https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/whats-on/film/meet-gloucestershire-vet-who-major-1603207|access-date=May 26, 2018|work=Gloucestershire Live|date=May 24, 2018|archive-date=May 26, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180526195335/https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/whats-on/film/meet-gloucestershire-vet-who-major-1603207|url-status=live}}

Variety's Owen Gleiberman called the film better than the first Jurassic World but wrote "... [Fallen Kingdom] ends up being just a so-so ride. I hope the next one is an all-out ride—but that for the first time since Spielberg's 1993 original, it's actually a great one.

In a positive review, Scott Mendelson of Forbes wrote, "Fallen Kingdom is a gorgeous, mostly enjoyable blockbuster that looked great in IMAX. That it doesn't cash all the checks it tries to write is why it's merely a good movie instead of a great one".{{Cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2018/06/06/review-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-finally-escapes-the-island/|title=Review: 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' Finally Escapes The Island|last=Mendelson|first=Scott|work=Forbes|access-date=June 8, 2018|date=June 6, 2018|archive-date=June 7, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180607093015/https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2018/06/06/review-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-finally-escapes-the-island/#9eeef6cbd239|url-status=live}} Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, John DeFore also praised the film: "Finally making good on its name, J.A.
