Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) - Movie Review

[@charliejeffreyjames1078]

I saw it last night! I was stunned at the storyline. The ending of “Fallen Kingdom” essentially laid-out what the final act would / should / could be. The visuals were A-OK but I’m also tired of the nostalgia nods that seem to be the trend with all franchises (i.e. Ellie Satler removing her sunglasses in awe / Ian Malcolm once again waiving a torch in order to distract giant beast)… The locust plot killed me almost as much as it did in “The Exorcist II: Heretic” What did I learn? Stay away from locusts! They’re a sure way to kill your crops and film franchise! I’m actually heartbroken over this entry as it could have gone-out with a colossal bang. Definitely time to bury for a couple of decades…

[@icebergthegamer]

Don’t you think man Vs dinosaur in this day in age would NOT bode well for the dinosaurs?

[@gunnerbrickfilmz4231]

It also didn’t even feel like a JP movie at all , Jurassic world done an ok job with capturing the charm of the original movies and the other two just felt less and less like a JP movie , I left the cinema today feeling so heartbroken as I love this franchise and the last two movies just weren’t how it should have been

[@charliejeffreyjames1078]

@@gunnerbrickfilmz4231 Agreed! Way too convoluted and complicated where it doesn’t need to be… I’m heartbroken too. It’s funny because it’s also the 40th anniversary of E.T.‘s release and it feels worse for some reason. I think because gone are the days when these movies would come out and inspire / enlighten us so greatly! Instead they utilize the nostalgic originals as tools to grab us… I don’t know but I was very much looking forward to this final instalment and it fell short on all counts. I don’t get it…

[@KB-bh9hp]

I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this, but if they're ever going to do anything with this franchise in the future, I think the best option is to take a darker, more horror centric route. Really lean on the horrors of genetic mutilation when it's taken to the extreme, of the fear of having to run for your life with death chasing you down at every turn. Maybe take the original Jaws approach where the dinosaur's are always there, lurking in the shadows, and you hint and allude to that somehow. Maybe with some clever sound design, and seeing their silhouettes darting behind trees as they get closer to you. Shoot the film like a Halloween film, and the dinosaurs are like Michael Myers. I think a 20-30 min short horror film shot from a first person perspective as you venture around the island at night would be terrifying and thrilling if done the right way.

[@x-ScaryBerry-x]

The book was much darker and had some genuinely tense scary moments. I would welcome an adaptation that’s more in line with the book as well.

[@KB-bh9hp]

@@x-ScaryBerry-x Exactly. We've already see the franchise capitalize on grand scale and spectacle. Would be nice for them to adopt a more intense, and tighter story.

[@rutgerdejong1660]

I would be all for smaller scaled, more intimate and actually scary settings where you don't know who is going to survive. The genetic mutilation can go away, that's not needed at all. Dinosaurs are scary enough. Look at the kitchen scene in JP. That was actually scary. Future films just need a very different approach. It's all about the setting, screenplay, build up of tension and suspence and most importantly characters that are well written so we care for them and that DON'T HAVE PLOT ARMOR!

[@beeking1792]

Ether they could remake the first one (which hopefully does not happen) Or they can do a spinoff movie of the Indoraptor from fallen kingdom, but I would try to salvage some of the plot from trespasser and incorporate it into a spin off movie.

[@cole6843]

I would love that. Like the books.

[@ChuckM0503]

I think what makes a movie like the first Jurassic Park so good is it's ordinary people in extraordinary situations. It's the same reason Jaws is so great as well. There's a certain level of relatability you can latch onto. As the films have gone on, though, the characters become more extraordinary as do the situations that keep getting ramped up more and more that they're just over the top and ridiculous. I mean, Chris Pratt may as well be James Bond in these movies, particularly the latter two. It's silly. The mind set that you have to keep getting bigger and bigger with each film is really a detriment to franchises like this. Especially now when people are desensitized to these big action sequences, anyway. Good, relatable characters will always make up for the lack of spectacle. Obviously you need spectacle in a Jurassic Park/World movie, but I'm of the belief less is more.

[@BrandonNielsen87]

Action movies do this A LOT. So many main characters doing things no normal human being are able to do. Almost every action hero is like Captain America now.

[@Lightman741]

Yes and the ridiculous Chris Pratt holding up his hand is just insulting. The first film built of fear of the raptors before we even saw them. Now they may as well be a cat

[@mania4270]

That's not what made it good. Jurassic Park was good because it had ground breaking special effects. Nobody watches that movie to see ordinary characters. The character work isn't that well handled. Jurassic park is the first mindless blockbuster. It doesn't make any sense, it's dumb, but it's filled with awe, and is entertaining. Let's not act like that movie is on the level of jaws, raiders, or ET

Nah that will be jurassic Universe, or I've been making a fan script of my own which takes place between Lost World & JP3, it would take place around the illegal cloning operation done on Sorna in 1999, if you watch some of Klayton Floriti's videos you can understand the lore of that, but in that spin-off script it foucus on the return of Nick Van Owen from the Lost World along with a few other characters from Lost World & some new ones, there Lewis Dodson is on Sorna to steal dinosaur eggs for Biosin, in short this is a script that salvages plot from Tresspaser & Micheal Criton's Lost World novel, I call the story & script "Trespasser: A Jurassic Park Story". And while some people may not be a fan of some of the characters from Lost World, I promise that it may be pretty solid.

This film should have immediately began describing a scenario that was a cross between Resident Evil, Reign of Fire, and Monsters…with an adequate montage of how the world’s military forces have failed to contain the “dinosaur invasion”. That’s the movie. That’s all that matters. PERIOD. Anything else that is going on in the world is absolutely positively irrelevant. This is what happens when writers/directors/producers sit around too long in a closed room …drinking their own Kool-Aid. A cabin in the woods is safe? Would you have built that cabin on Isla Nublar or Isla Sorna? I think not. Most humans would be in underground bunkers by now! Hollywood writers have completely lost the plot at this point.

I think a movie of people on the biosyn location in a horror themed type of movie would be incredible. It would be more faithful to the novels and I think could be pretty terrifying seeing how most of the dinos in the franchise have been pretty scary visually. Putting them in the right situation and setting would work scary good

[@chefboiardeeznutz9881]

Nope, cant do it when kids are involved lmao

[@stevendinkins9088]

I wanted to walk out the movies. 1. Only 4 ppl die 2. Claire is the luckiest person alive 3. Worse villain ever 4. How did the dinosaurs get in the hyper loop? 5. The T. rex is immortal 6. Same Dino ending. 7. I can keep going

[@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001]

Just got done watching it. Been a fan since 93, glad they brought everyone in it but, some of the effects were horrible!! Seems like this can't be the end... So much more you could do with it. Better than fallen kingdom but that's not saying much. I need to watch it again

[@demarcotwain]

Wow you just saved me some bucks dude. I was really on the fence about going to see this movie. I’ll just wait for The Black Phone

[@gnc623]

Well, I'm with Cody as far as the first five films go. Liked them all except Fallen Kingdom. I watched this review and now know not to bother seeing it in theaters.

[@jrv7054]

I think the 2nd half of Fallen kingdom was pretty good. The dinosaur in a dark mansion segment was epic and unique. Its actually great in comparison to whatever this locust mission movie was.

[@gnc623]

@@jrv7054 That part was pretty decent, but the ending for me got sabotaged by the "They're alive....like me" deal. That whole moral setup was not a good sell.

[@Mercfusion2]

The lost world was a pretty good sequel

4:35 Cody in prime form 😭😭😭

[@davidnaja]

"Bitchy, angsty teenage girl that doesn't wanna listen to anyone".....Yeah, I'm gonna pass based on that alone.

That shirt is awesome Cody!!

[@kevin_ramirez2529]

This movie reminded me of Fast and furious, started with street racing and ended with Vin and co being superheroes while Jurassic Park with badass dinosaurs and ended with Chris and co being superheros , I was never Afraid something bad was gonna happen to any of them

[@hollycline7279]

Saw it last night. It was blah. Did have some scary parts with the dinosaurs 🦕🦖

[@HotCoffeeSmallTalk]

I completely understand where you’re coming from but it worked for me. I wasn’t a fan of the lack of screen time for the Rex and the new big bad Dino. They just randomly hated each other at the end and needed to fight at the end for some reason. As much as I enjoyed this film I do agree with the Stream It rating.

[@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001]

The survivor plot on a island or wherever will always work. People say it's gets boring, I don't think so, guy's with guns fighting dinos will always work

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

The trailers for this and Rise of Skywalker really bugged me when they advertise it as 'the epic conclusion to the saga'. It comes off as very full of itself, like they've had this planned all along as one cohesive story when it was clearly never intended to be, and the quality never holds up with the more recent additions to these franchises. Star Wars had its epic conclusion in 1983 and Jurassic Park as much as I do like the original 3 films is clearly not a cohesive narrative, they come off as very disjointed and then just stop after 3. I had no anticipation for this film. On top of the last film's lack of quality I really don't find CG dinosaurs interesting anymore, they just look like any other movie monster today especially when they're placed in gigantic CG set pieces. Objectively I'll say the CGI did look good in the trailers, but the abundance of practical effects added such a visceral feel in those first three films with the smaller more tangible set pieces. I do enjoy the first Jurassic World, but those first three have this really unpolished feel that the new trilogy lacks, just compare how muddy and bloody the characters in those first three get compared to the new films, both that and the locations feel far too clean and conditioned.

[@nickmesogianes4638]

This is something that I feel is over looked and it's the music. I wasnt a fan of fallen kingdom and how they approached to score it but I absolutely love hearing the new pieces here

[@drachireidnoc6659]

I mean this franchise only has one quality film so it’s not surprising

[@Gray-weeb]

I need to apologize, although I kinda enjoyed Dominion (mostly for the second act), I reacted irrationally to this review. Although I still like the movie (kinda), I realize its flaws and understand the critique you gave. I am terribly sorry for my earlier comment though, if you don't know which one that was, it was the big one where I gave a giant rant about why Dominion is good. I deleted it so it's gone now.

[@1000000man1]

A couple of months ago, I had a panic attack in the cinema and they gave me a couple of complimentary tickets. I was wondering about whether to use them on this film. My thought is that I should probably use them on a film that I may not like and I won't be as annoyed because it was Free and I didn't contribute to the film's revenue if it's bad. I should not be thinking this about a Jurassic Park film, but that's the way the series has gone.

[@thischarminglovehound2376]

Sorry that happened to you. I relate! Panic attacks are the worst.

[@1000000man1]

@@thischarminglovehound2376 Thank you. Yeah, I had quite a few panic attacks a couple of months ago. The thing is, I was worried about someone in Ukraine. She was living in Odessa, which is a huge target and constantly under threat. Fortunately, she's managed to leave the country since then. I still worry about her, but at least she's out of danger. But at the time, she was still there and I had no idea what was going to happen and had no way to help her. It made me physically sick.

[@johnnyivan1977]

😂😂😂 you made me laugh so hard bro , greatest review!

[@travelinman]

I thought it was cool for what it was. The dinosaurs accidentally escaped again. Special Effects and action. Same recycled formula. Entertaining but that’s it.

[@thischarminglovehound2376]

There were dinosaurs in this?

[@travelinman]

@@thischarminglovehound2376 Absolutely!! I know it’s a shock right? 😆

[@primevalyautja1305]

Nah, Fuck them haters Just watched the film in IMAX and I LOVED it as much as i Loved Jurassic World 1 and 2. People are not wrong/dumb for Defending the Jurassic world Trilogy

@TrophyHunter95 Excuse Me?

[@JustKelso1993]

​@TrophyHunter95 This. People like this are allowing shitty movies to keep making so much money.

[@sagould775]

Cody was so right about movie abandoning what should have been the real theme. That they abandoned in the first minute, with 'Oh, dinosaurs live among us, and there's a black market for them, but we're gonna get the band back together to rescue a sullen teenager.'

[@nicketheridge9431]

Very well articulated Cody. Love the review. I agree with every word you said. 👍
