Jurassic World: Dominion

 

Jurassic World: Dominion is the third film in the Jurassic World franchise and the sixth and final installment of the Jurassic Park series, starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill. It picks up after Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) where humans now must live amongst the dinosaurs that were released four years prior, but not everyone wants to live in harmony. When Owen and Claire, reprised by Pratt and Dallas Howard, witness a kidnapping, they must embark on a rescue mission to save the ones they love.


The plot was full of nostalgic call backs to some of the scenes from the first Jurassic Park including touches of the original soundtrack and a reunion of the 1993 cast, but there were too many side stories and their attempt at brining everything together was messy. At a certain point the story got lazy and I felt like too much was borrowed from the original movies. Also, a good amount the dialogue was corny and not well written.

Regarding the casting, I liked that they were able to bring everyone back for the big finale. I also appreciated that there was an addition of a couple of more diverse characters. I liked how the cast was able to play off of one another, even though how some of them were introduced didn't make much sense. Also, the lack in character development, made the motives for some of these co-stars actions perplexing.

In the end, this one is for the fans. It wasn’t a great story or very realistic, it was more a hodgepodge of cool ideas that didn’t have a clear and concise direction but because I am a fan I still appreciated the nice full circle moment to close out the series.
