I feel so sorry for the poor Giga. If it was an actor, I imagine it would just depressivley walk home after the final day of filming, hopelessly broken by the fact it was so mistreated after finally making it's way into a Jurassic movie, only for the Spino to show up and say "I told you so."

[@justusb.plorer8773]

@Saturn King of the monsters What makes it even weirder is that the Theri was involved, like... did Rexy _know_ that pushing the Giga onto the Theri's claws would kill it? And furthermore, considering the Theri is blind, did it even realize what was happening? Or was it just standing there thinking "Why are my arms suddenly so heavy?"

[@justusb.plorer8773]

@Saturn King of the monsters yup.

At least Giga gets better treatment in video games like Warpath: Jurassic Park, Ark, etc.

[@Bugermanchi]

Spino at least matters to the movie . They did giga the hyped dinosaur no importance at all . If you remove giganotosaurse , the movie would play the same way . They should have had giganotosaurs spotlight instead of bugs and make a better plot like the fans wanted THE DINOSAUR AND HUMAN PLOT . It was built in even trailers but forgotten . Like the ending was literally made no sense because of how much they had focus on nostalgia baiting fans

[@ryanangeli5897]

Part of what made Jurassic Park so great was the simplicity. No flashing lights, bright colours, or explosions. It relied on suspense, dialogue, characters, and again, simplicity. All the JW movies are like Marvel superhero movies. Maybe that’s the formula that’s worked for a long time now, but I really miss the old way that movies were made.

okay to be fair they did kind of do that in the first jurassic world movie, like with the introduction to the Indominus and with the raptor interactions

[@evolvedino]

Completely agree

[@nonerdsherexx]

Also the fact that characters WERE injured. We don’t have to always kill off a character to have actions that have consequences and dangers. The first movie was a story of survival in the danger. The later ones were just adventure movies with no real threat- if any it was at the end and didn’t have any big consequences.

[@richardblazer8070]

I do completely agree with your points on building suspense. Take the campsite scene from the Lost World. It is in the middle of the night. We hear the impact tremors, see the puddles ripple, Sarah desperately tries to hide any loose food items and turns off the lantern, we see the silhouette of the Buck, we see Ian's reaction to it, then we finally see the Tyrannosaur's head as it slowly enters the tent and smells the jacket, and Sarah and Kelly have to be still and silent. Then the payoff, Carter wakes up and screams, waking everyone else up and provoking the Tyrannosaurs to attack. It is a masterpiece in building suspense. And in Dominion the Pyroraptor just walks up like a kid looking for their parent in a grocery store.

[@Weirdanimalboy]

The way the Pyroraptor just appears from behind the rock is so funny. Like what was it doing in between the plane crashing and Chris Pratt and Kayla having their conversation. Had it not spawned in yet? Was it a heavy sleeper? Was it waiting for the director to yell “ACTION!”?

[@chazharris]

As much as people hate on The Lost World, that sequence is a masterpiece, the raptors in the tall grass too, and the buildup to the trailer attack as well.

my biggest problem with the movie besides the pacing being all over the place was the fact that we didn't get to see much of the dinosaurs living and interacting with normal everyday people. I was hoping after seeing the end of fallen kingdom and the battle at big rock short, that we would get to see people really struggling to live with dinosaurs. Blue is running off into the wilderness at the end of fallen kingdom and seemed very confused at the sight of a nearby town which i would have loved to see her interact with in some way. then she's just near owens farm in dominion... ok

I watched it even twice to give it an other shot, but new questions kept coming and parts I couldn't understand.

I'm a year late replying to your video, but I've been a big dinosaur nerd and Jurassic Park fan since I was a kid. I'm in my 30s now, and I remember being hyped for this movie. I was elated to see the main 3 back together! I wanted to see Alan interact with Blue or any other raptor (although knowing he could have interacted with the pyro would have been a hundred times better.) But what we got was a mess. I went to this movie decked out in Jurassic Park merch, a shirt, a cross-body bag with "InGen" on it, buttons from the park 'welcome tin,' etc. I remember sitting in the theater, and eventually, I realized the cast had more plot armor than some of the characters from Game of Thrones. I stopped worrying about them. After it was over and I left, I felt like something was missing, but I couldn't figure out what. I remember telling people, 'It was okay.' It was worth a watch, but in the end, it wasn't mind-blowing. I didn't HATE the film. I still don't. But it's not my favorite either. It's a popcorn movie. Your review is spot on. You cover many things I couldn't explain, like why Alan's story never felt like it was wrapped up.

[@avbD3]

Every time I rewatch the Jurassic Park/world movies I always get the feeling that something was missing/could've gone better, and this review does a great job of pointing those things out.

Honestly, gotta agree with Evo. I enjoyed this movie. I really did, but after watching it and hearing of many of the concepts and ideas that never made it to film, I feel exactly what Beaver is saying. It feels like I’ve been cheated from a better movie- like I do still enjoy it, but I see how it could have been so much better. I still do love that many of the dinosaurs were presented as animals, however!

[@Weirdanimalboy]

It’s so weird that all these movies with characters questioning their origins or parentage have the characters suddenly not have to deal with that. Rey doesn’t have to come to terms with her parents abandoning her, her parents actually loved her and wanted to protect her. Maisie doesn’t have to come to terms with being a clone of a dead girl that set dinosaurs loose on the world, she’s actually born from a virgin mary that loved her and also she never mentions any turmoil about releasing the dinosaurs as a child.

[@denisucuuu]

Right? She releases all the dinos and kills so many people because of that but she's pissy about not being able to go and watch them possibly kill other people INCLUDING her

[@Bagelgeuse]

Shhhhh, characters facing consequences for their actions and questioning their origins is too deep and intelligent. Less depth, more action!

[@JamalGleeson]

The yells were founded... how were they not?... Not only were carnivorous dinosaurs after them, the kid JUST saw what was making the noises, butt there were added HORRIFYing factors. With the kid there was also lava flow and those two were potentially trapped WITH a hungry carnivorous WITH lava flowing all around, IN AN AREA THEY THINK THEY CAN'T ESCAPE! The lady, she thought she was done with it and it just dawned on her that it was closing in on them where before she figured they would escape, the almost promise of death is a deciding factor for a shriek or two.

[@RIANDOA]

I legit almost walked out at the dilophosaur choke hold. My favourite dino in the franchise finally returns after 5 movies almost 30 years and it gets it's ass whupped before it can even do anything? I was so freaking irritated. It's return was the #1 reason I was excited to see this movie. The second later scene with them sort of made up for it, but it was still an awful idea for an initial 'return to the big screen' scene. Even if they subdued or killed the one right near Claire, it would have been so much better if the others decided to attack right after and they had to run. Then have Giga show up or have the dilos hear its roar coming close or something and that chases them off. Ugh. Anyway. lol

[@smugreptile6695]

So, can I just say that Blue is basically a person in a raptor body after this movie? Jurassic World showed that the raptors could be "reasoned" with to an extent, but never fully tamed. The first half of Fallen Kingdom was much the same, like a person who raised a lion meeting the animal again after years, its always a toss up to how the animal will react. Then the second half of Fallen Kingdom and Dominion happened and its like once Blue got the rex blood in her, she just stopped being an animal at all. Just a person. All of the danger of making sure you didn't get to comfortable around her vaporizes. The only time she is any danger to Owen is when Beta is taken. And then she slaps his hand and all but Demands him to get her baby back like an angry Karan. Like its somehow his fault SHE brought Beta there, and the writers conveniently forget that Velociraptors can smell people "a mile away" in their own lore. There is no way she didn't know about the poachers. None. Hell I was halfway convinced Owen would have invited her in for a beer after a job well done. And I love Blue. I know she is Important for Owen, but technically, she didn't even need to be in the movie. Neither did Beta. Maisie was all they needed. Maisie was made by the same method as Beta, a parthenogenic clone, and had the sample of the pathogen needed for the locust. Beta was totally unnecessary to the plot. All the data learned from Beta would have just been found in Maisie too. Getting two samples from two different species and trying to make them work on a third is way harder than just taking a single sample and making it work with a single other species.

[@umairashraf5167]

@@umairashraf5167 But they had to change Maise's origin to get that story. Her origin in Fallen Kingdom is not the same as in Dominion. It was all just pretty unnecessary.

I HIGHLY agree with the Concept Art of Owen and Alan facing off against the Pyroraptor should have definitely been in the Film. It would have been an incredible opportunity to have two main protagonists from two different generations to face off against a familiar species that had huge impacts to their character arcs and it would have been a huge.... HUGE PAY OFF TO THEIR CHARACTERS! It just baffles my mind that someone in the production office or even Colin didn't think it was an incredible scene for the Film.

[@TrexAintaChicken]

I think the main problem with the state of the franchise comes down to Universal. We, the fandom, continue to push for quality content, and even those involved in the production (such as Colin and the cast) do deeply care for the community, as evident by Colin's contact with Jurassic Outpost and the enthusiasm shown by the cast members, etc. It is obvious that the issue lies within the main Universal body. Partnering with big names instead of focusing on those within the fandom or canceling games we wanted, and even seemingly unrelated issues like pressuring BDH to lose weight, shows that their focus is on money and appeal and unfortunately dont care for the fans. And I think this speaks to a larger issue in Hollywood of competition and monopolies, as the same three production companies gain more and more franchises and care less and less for the fans behind these movies. Edit: I will clarify that I LOVE Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom. Dominion on the other hand... it is enjoyable I suppose, but it's definitely not what I hoped for from the final film. I have not seen the extended cut, so idk how that will affect my viewing of it. And I do think a lot of criticisms of the movie, by critics and even some made by Beaver, are kind of ridiculous and too nitpicky, but the movie overall still has a number of flaws I can't get past.

[@marpl8761]

Fully agree. Most of the reason why the Jurassic franchise is super lackluster is because Universal doesn’t see it as anything past a money maker. We could have much better movies and cooler games or shows, but none of that will happen until Universal expresses any sort of interest; which is likely never.

I didn’t hate it, but I was really underwhelmed. I think there are ideas in the film that could’ve worked, but of course that didn’t happen.

[@denimvelvet4670]

I honestly feel like one of the big problems with these last three movies is a lack of planning. It's almost like they didn't realize there would be a second movie after the first, and a third after the second. As you pointed out there are so many shots that are practically just 'hey, remember the old movies! Here's a shot just like that! Here's people from those movies! They're here too...for some reason! Here's a subplot that makes no sense because we don't know what to do with these people!" I'm glad we got to get a dangerous herbivore though! Instead of one that just exists to be eaten.

[@kade-qt1zu]

I mean, we had dangerous herbivores all the way back in the lost world.

[@Real_MisterSir]

I think the real problem is that they have no story. They write whatever is the most convenient path for the plot to happen. They think out set pieces and then weave the story to loosely link those set pieces together with flimsy threads. Like you can literally pinpoint it: "Owen falls in pit and has standoff with raptors" "Owen rides a motorcycle with raptors through the jungle" "All the dinosaurs and the main cast are running in the same direction to escape volcanic cloud and jump off cliff" "Dinosaur in sewer with some lava dripping from the ceiling while characters try to escape" "Owen has to jump through Rex' mouth after getting blood sample" "Dinosaur chase scene through city - again on motorcycle" "Dinosaur herding scene in snowy countryside" "Therizinosaurus stalks main character through woods while being all scary and ominous" "Locust on fire burst out of building and sets whole valley on fire" Sure, movies need good set pieces and the original JP trilogy had pre-planned set pieces for sure. The difference is, most of the set pieces in the JW movies do absolutely nothing to further the plot. They just exist for the sake of shoving more action on the screen - and in general you could cut out most of it and the story would be unaffected. There is no link between the different events, they just _exist_ . Dominion is imo the worst offender of all the JW movies. It thoroughly feels like no story was written in advance. Instead, most likely the directors and writers just had idea brainstorm sessions where they threw together as many "cool scenes" as possible and picked out the ones that were convenient to fit into a somewhat achievable narrative. Nothing of substance, tons of errors, butchering of dinosayr (and general animal) behavior. Complete disregard for physics. All in all it's doing exactly what the Fast and Furious franchise has become. It's turning a once cool and grounded niche, into a pseudo superhero franchise, because that's what they think the audience is willing to believe and acknowledge as acceptable writing and directing.

[@BruninMalvadeza]

I hated it... The whole point of JP movies was that dinosaurs were genetic monsters off their time and place, creating a conflict between their existence and humans. Now is just an fast and furious movie with dinosaurs, nobody dies, no tension, T-Rex and Velociraptors turned from killing machines to fluffy heroes saving the day. The worst part is that in some moments i thought that the movie was going to take a good route. Like the Theri scene and when the sail emerge from the water (I was thinking: Oh my god, they locked the Spinosaurus inside of a cave because it is SO VIOLENT, then is going to break free and we´ll see a real apex battle between Rexy, Giga and Spino), but no... Then in the Giga scene... All the tension, all the possibilitys of some main characters die, like Ian closing his arch sacrificing himself to save Grant´s life... But no. I believe that the best word to describe this movie is UNDERWHELMING... They didn´t delivered good fan service, good plot and not even a good movie. It´s kind sad, because they nailed battle at big rock and the prologue.

Something funny about the Claire "RUN!" thing I just noticed. Her delivery in Dominion sounds like a midway between Fallen Kingdom and the World one, which was actually really good.

The flashback ends. Ellie Sattler has a look of concern for Alan Grant. But Ramsey Cole says he was talking about the Giganotosaurus.

Coming out of the theater on this movie, I felt conflicted. I loved and hated it at the same time... it was such a strange feeling. After watching it a couple more times, listening to the imput of others etc. I've decided I like it. My favorite parts are the Owen and Claire moments (a lot of which are in the extended cut, why were they cut?!), the Malta scenes, the Therizinosaurus and Claire scene, the amber mines and I'll admit... I liked the dilophosaurus and Claire scene. Though it wasn't perfect... they could have added CGI, made the animatronic a little less stiff etc. I was just so happy to see dilo back. Really wish the plot had been different, something more along the lines of surviving in a dino infested mainland, which we kinda got but not really?? I would have loved if there was some self-sacrifice, someone died to save the others. Maybe more than one person, one of the main cast and Wu getting his novel death. This movie was fun in a lot of scenes, but for me it lacked the emotion and character development I was hoping for. Still, I liked the movie. It's probably 4th or 5th place for me out of all the Jurassic movies, but I liked it. All of this is just my own opinion, each to their own.

[@Page-bv9td]

Hearing the voice which filled my child mind with fascination for dinosaurs express his disappointment (in the most positive way possible, as always) about Dominion really was the final nail in the coffin for this movie. Nearly everybody who I've heard comment on it have brought up roughly the same issues, and even similar solutions to said issues. Your average Jurassic fan knows exactly how to fix this movie. Producers with considerable time and good budgets made this. Jurassic World was a great next-up to the franchise in my opinion. It was natural next step in the narrative; "Okay, we've brought dinosaurs back to life through genetic manipulation. What happens when people get bored of that?" Genetic hybrids. Brilliant. The Indominus' abilities (camouflage, conscious changing in heat signature, coordinating with the velociraptors) which don't make sense from a thematic standpoint are all justified because she wasn't perfect. They got some things wrong. It makes sense. It's a considerably big leap from the theme of the Park movies, and I can understand why a lot of people don't like that. But my point is that Jurassic World, worked. Nobody really had any problems with it for the most part. Fallen Kingdom was when it started going on a downwards spiral. The director tried to turn the movie into something Jurassic movies have never been whatsoever. They even took a fairly decent next step concept, weaponized hybrids, and butchered it. If you aim a gun targeting laser at an opponent, you can just.. Shoot them. Why bother with this highly unstable, very killable animal? Dominion.. You've watched Beaver's review. I don't need to say anything about it. I'm sorry this movie ended up so mundane. It hurts my heart to hear you, of all people having to explain how much this movie got wrong. Know we all feel that same pain. Thank you all, for listening to my 5am ramble.

The thing about the Indoraptor being unstable, is that it wasn’t even the final product. The Indoraptor we see was not what the Indoraptor was supposed to be, it was Wu’s Early Access Patreon Reward. At least the Indominus was basically what she was designed to be, with some extra things Wu didn’t account for.

And I'm glad I did. Dominion was a total disappointment, and I would have been furious to spend money on it. Believe it or not, Camp Cretaceous is far superior.

Yup Nothing will ever touch the original again but I gotta say if you really think about it even Jurassic park 3 was way more entertaining than this disaster because at least they still had that old Jurassic 90s feel to it then Once the new trilogy started it was game over never felt like the first trilogy again I mean really in 2022 the dinosaurs looked worse than the first ones unrealistic and way to fast to the scenes all sloppy jammed together like a modern 007 movie mixed with 90s CGI and blurry and was terrible and poorly done. Then to add to the horror was 3 storylines going nowhere fast and when the best of the best finally got together the movie was over see that's what's wrong with movies today either it's another crappier remake of the greatest of all time not even coming close again or once again we have to be politically correct in everything like let's play with the dinosaur and there not dangerous anymore and put them on a leash. I mean come on people this would never happen they would be eating us alive not coming back at the end and basically giving us a high five for bringing my baby back they wouldn't have no way in hell have been able to get close to these prehistoric titans without being eaten or ripped apart or stepped on it would have been anarchy on a level never thought possible specially in the ocean with the megalodon are freaking kidding me your talking about a 70 foot great white eating machine that would be sinking boats like crazy same with the other 60 to 100 ft monsters that we never knew was out there until it was unleashed on us in a catastrophic way

[@user-xx4sp4vp3x]

Blue wasn't "biting at the air" for no reason. She was just attacked, and her Daughter was just taken from her, she's trying to clime up where she fell to get to her, but can't. Visually I guess they chose that moment to reference back to JP1 with the raptor scene you mentioned, but the scene in Dominion definitely had a purpose, and it was hard to watch Blue scream in fear like that.

[@Red-Ranger3142]

Fun fact: the reason why the lagoon’s location changed between JW and FK isn’t because they wanted to release the Mosasaurus into the ocean. It’s because when they were mapping out Isla Nubar for Fallen Kingdom they were using a previous map of Isla Nubar for reference. A map of the island from the development of Jurassic World from when that movie was still Jurassic Park 4. During that time of development the layout of the park was very different, including the lagoon leading into the ocean. I got this information from Klayton Fioriti, a JP KZbinr and dedicated fan who is very reliable for JP intel, but has been wrong on occasion, so I’m not sure if this is true but I looked up the JP4 development island map and the lagoon’s location on that map matches up with its location in Fallen Kingdom, so I can believe that’s what happened.

[@Mike_Dubayou]

I’m not convinced of that, as in the first world movie they show the lagoon, and it very much looks and seems as if it’s landlocked.

[@jpog789]

I liked it more than I thought I would, especially after not being a big fan of fallen kingdom. It’s not perfect by any means but I wish they built up Dodgson more as a character.

I hate it when stories do this; when they suddenly pull a random plot twist about a dead family member and the characters talk about how great said family member was. It's so cheap, imo. 2. Where was Beta the whole movie? If I'm remembering correctly, Beta dissapeared for the entirety of the film, only to turn up at the end. I kid you not, I forgot about her. Every time. I would like to remind you, she is an important character in this story. And yet she disappeared for so long. How did no one catch that?

@@Bagelgeuse The locusts are literally the only reason for the classic characters to do anything because honestly, they’ve already done all they could with dinosaurs in the older films. What would they be directly needed for with an outbreak of same old species in the mainland? Alan might make some sense with his expertise but not Ellie and Ian. They only work as high distance advisors at this point of time, not action stars. So props for Dominion for at least trying to be clever with them even when said attempt wasn’t all that successful.

[@Bagelgeuse]

@@Dinoslay The original cast could have worked with just dinosaurs. How has Alan's career been affected by the dinosaurs all over the world? Does palaeontology mean anything if you can pull out a camera and record an live dinosaur? I know it's touched upon briefly with some snotty teenagers, but Alan inspired real kids to become palaeontologists, so seeing the scientific field he represents get brushed aside sucks. How do the dinosaurs survive in ecosystems they were never made for? Ellie, a palaeobotanist could have been studying that considering plants are the basis for most food chains. What does Ian think of the disaster that he warned people about finally coming true? And no, "Jurassic World, not a fan" is not a satisfactory response from the person who argued against cloning dinosaurs the most. If they've done all they could with dinosaurs in the previous films, then why include them, or even make the movie at all?

[@Dinoslay]

@@Bagelgeuse To repeat, they could have worked as distant advisors like Malcolm was in Fallen Kingdom. But getting them into action sequences with the same old species isn’t going to work without a fresh incentive to drive them to it which the locusts sort of offered. Without that they’d have been virtually useless(which they still kinda were). The characters are simply too old to be running from dinosaurs, island or mainland. They did their part and had their reunion, time for retirement. Let the new professionals handle the beasts now.

[@spinoguy3555]

3 months later and my opinion on the film hasn't changed. Jurassic World Dominion ended up being a messy train-ride from start to finish. Lemme start off with my positives: 1. I actually liked all the characters in the film(to an extent) even characters from previous films like Franklin I actually much preferred in Dominion and it was awesome to see my boy Barry again as he was one of my favs from the first JW, Dodgson's actor actually surprised me as he was able to solidly portray a human villain(until he did the rage quit dance) and Dr. Wu's redemption arc was at least heartwarming on how he was able to fulfill what Brooklyn told him in Camp Cretaceous S3. 2. All the action scenes which included both old and new species of dinosaurs and non-dinosaurs were pretty awesome to see on the big screen with the VFX being top notch but that's pretty much it. 3. This one isn't so much a category as it is something I just want to point out that I genuinely really liked, it is the scene where we saw Giga and Rexy have that brief tussle for that deer carcass as it gave me a lot of Prehistoric Planet vibes with the fight being very short with one of them immediately backing down to look for food elsewhere which is what animals would have done irl. So a hats off to that from me. Now, for my main negatives: 1. The pacing is what mostly ruined the film for me. I felt like it was just too quick and we didn't have time to relax and soak in the things that are happening. It was like Action Scene 1 immediately proceeds to Action Scene 2 and it continues this until the end of the film. It's probably worth mentioning the lead writer of this film is from Pacific Rim Uprising, so that's pretty much where the pacing issues come from. 2. The plot armor is just through the roof, you never feel like the main cast are in actual danger as the stakes were really not optimized to the best it could be. In other words, it's painfully obvious that no good guy is gonna die. 3. The Giganotosaurus itself : For being the supposed "Big Bad Dino", didn't even do much in the film as it was only living its life being the top predator of BioSyn's Sanctuary. It had like 5-6 mins. of screen time and it wasn't even doing anything remotely sinister that gives off the essence of it "just wanting to watch the world burn", which throws its whole "Joker" aspect completely out the door. The Spinosaurus, Indominus Rex, Indoraptor and even Scorpios Rex were much better villain dinos and it really sucks to say that since I actually grew to love the Giga's design and they built it up to be this huge threat ever since they released the prologue. It was marketed to be this scary beast but in the end, was basically an innocent animal who ironically died for being one which just left a bad taste in my mouth. Even my friends who were watching with me asked what did the Giga do to deserve that kind of death? 4. An extension of Number 3, is the final battle, ya know, the big climax? It was just surprisingly short and lacking. Like once the Giga died, I thought to myself "that's it?". There was no built-up tensions in the fight, Rexy getting an Anime-Flashback Moment after being knocked unconscious as she got back up, and the camera shots weren't even on the dinosaurs which immediately ruins Alan's line, "This isn't about us...". Is it really hard just to see Giga and Rexy fight like in the Prologue? 5. No Spinosaurus appearance. None. Another wasted opportunity alongside the underusage of plenty of other new species such as the Atrociraptors, Pyroraptor, Quetzalcoatlus, Dimetrodon and the Dilophosaurus' return was just not suspenseful. Even CC did a better job with the Dilo's Return. Overall, It was still a decently nice experience, but it just left me blank in the end. As a Jurassic Fan, I'm giving it a 6/10. In the end, it just felt very anticlimactic for being labelled as "The Epic Conclusion of the Jurassic Era", when the premise was messily paced and the final battle which is supposed to be the big climax, has no weight behind it and no stakes were raised at all. At least fan animations exist and IDK if I could ever forgive myself for having my friends watch this film with me in our first meetup back since the pandemic first started.

Man! That was a fantastic review. Your editing was superb! Especially putting that RE umbrella icon on the lab coats for literally 1 second. Attention to detail. Everything you’ve mentioned basically is what I’ve thought of to with a few to a lot of things I missed.

For the most part, you read my mind. Fundamentally, it felt like every aspect of the filmmaking process was spread thin, and the whole movie came together feeling a little "off", even during its best moments. Rather than suffering from a few major issues, it's a death by a thousand paper cuts. Every scene is littered with weird little problems, bad writing/dialog, jarring effects (e.g. Dilo), contrived plot developments, patronizing fan-service/callbacks etc. Just _constantly_ little things pulling me out of the experience. I couldn't shake the feeling of watching a . At the end of it all, it doesn't even end any differently than Fallen Kingdom. "The dinos are out in the wild! Now what??" I thought that's what Dominion was _supposed to answer._ It feels like a ship without a captain. It was this huuuuge massive project, but no one was steering it with actual intent. None of the character or plot resolutions feel inspired; they feel convenient and inoffensive. Even the ending undermines the message of the _entire franchise._ Genetic power is too great to wield. We're on the brink food supply collapse as the result of genetic meddling, but then whoops -- oh look at that, Dr. Wu waves his sCiEnCe wand and saves the world. Go on, kids! Genetic power is awesome! This movie had nothing to say, and no reason to exist. "We said it was a trilogy, so here's the last one...?" Jurassic Park had a _point._ That's all I've really been asking for through the JW trilogy. I hope the next era of this franchise shifts to smaller, more focused stories, e.g. a feature-length Battle at Big Rock. Maybe a limited series? We got a family-friendly animated series, so why not some R-rated thriller/horror/survival stuff for the adult audience too? I'd even entertain the idea of doing a prequel about the development of Jurassic Park, though it'd be tough to re-cast Hammond. Regardless: Build out the brand, and give the pieces to people with inspired ideas. Or sell it to Disney and put Rexy and the Therizinosaurus in Avengers B.C.

My favorite part is when Dodgson says “it’s Dodgson time” and started dancing

Guess he had eaten too many sweets and wanted something salty. Didn’t ask if anybody else wanted a soda tho.

I love that you used the Dino Crisis Soundtrack in this video. Nice touch.

Should’ve been a post credit scene where spinosaurus obtains the amber-finity gauntlet and growls in subtitles of your choice saying: “Fine, I’ll do it myself”
