Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

Jurassic World Dominion might be a bit of an improvement over its immediate predecessors in some respects, but this franchise has lumbered a long way down from its classic start.
Jurassic World Dominion, huh? Well, it’s definitely better than the last couple of dino flicks, but let’s be real, this franchise has come a loooong way from its OG days. Like, remember when we were all blown away by the first Jurassic Park? Good times. Now we’re just watching Chris Pratt run around with some CGI creatures. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still entertaining, but it’s not exactly groundbreaking stuff anymore. Maybe they should just let the dinos rest in peace (or pieces, depending on how you look at it).

Goldblum aside, it’s hard not to feel that the warm-blooded actors are phoning it in a bit.

Dominion answers the question “What if dinosaurs became so commonplace they were no longer exciting?” by making even the most unique dinosaur encounters so routine and uninspiring that even the people involved cannot muster enthusiasm to be frightened.

While there’s never really a sense of true danger for our heroes, we get just enough of the range of CGI dinosaurs and their weird traits to keep the film entertaining.

Jurassic World Dominion is an aggressively fine and mostly enjoyable romp that does some things well and others things less so. It’s the epitome of just OK.

In spite of all the positive elements, it’s unfortunate the film’s biggest obstacle is its own story.

If ever there was a franchise that proved box office glory wasn’t enough to greenlight sequels, this is it. One masterpiece and a handful of middling to bad facsimiles. At least it’s over.

Despite too many characters, iffy pacing and an excessive runtime, this is just an enjoyably loud, dumb summer action film. More horror would have been appreciated, but the Malta sequence alone makes this worth a recommend.

Joe Lipsett
Horror Queers Podcast
A ‘B’-movie script crammed full of plot holes and deus ex machina conveniences but it’s reasonably exciting. Not a great movie, but it’s good enough.

Celluloid Dreams
The scenes are disjointed; the film lacks heart as not enough focus is given to the main characters’ story.

Sarah’s Backstage Pass
Director Colin Trevorrow just about limps over the finishing line with Dominion and while the script probably needed another round of edits, he directs the film with enough passion towards the franchise that it’ll do just fine.

Plot
Four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live–and hunt–alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures in a new Era.

Goofs / Tidbits
After falling in ice cold water, Owen is barely wet in the lift, nor is he shivering, which he would be, purely from the shock.
