Paramount+ Adds Underrated ’90s Hit Perfect for Jurassic World Fans

Looking for a movie to watch on Paramount+ that’ll scratch your Jurassic World itch? Look no further than Congo, the 1995 jungle-adventure flick that just landed on the streaming platform. Starring Laura Linney, Dylan Walsh, and Ernie Hudson, this underrated gem is perfect for fans of action-packed thrillers.

Congo tells the story of an expedition team venturing into the African jungle in search of rare blue diamonds with groundbreaking potential. Their mission takes a dangerous turn when they encounter the remnants of an ancient civilization and a fierce new breed of gorilla. If this plot sounds vaguely familiar, that’s because Congo shares some similarities with Jurassic Park, released just two years prior. While Congo didn’t receive glowing reviews, its impressive box office earnings and dedicated fan base over the years prove it’s worth a watch.

With a Rotten Tomatoes score of only 23%, Congo may not be a cinematic masterpiece, but its intriguing storyline and talented cast make it a captivating watch. Despite some flaws in the plot, the performances by Linney, Tim Curry, Ernie Hudson, and Bruce Campbell shine through, elevating the movie and making it a must-see.
