[@the_gaming_hyena]

Honestly, I mostly agree with you on this except for one thing-I feel like so many prehistoric creatures were shown, but not given any time. For example, the quetzalcoatlus that attacked the plane only got one brief scene, same for the pyroraptor and atrociraptor. They didn’t get enough time, and were straight up forgotten. The people didn’t come here for humans, they came for prehistoric animals. They advertised scientific accuracy, but their feathered dinosaurs didn’t even look accurate. Another rip off. Not only that, but why LOCUSTS? There are so many other animals to fill that role. What about a bunch of griffon flies? That would be awesome! I loved the dimetrodon, but it got hardly any screen time. I would’ve loved to see so many new creatures (Scutosaurus, Anomalocaris, trilobites, gorgonopsids, mammoths, wooly rhinos, smilodon, Daeodon, etc) appear, but they didn’t. I enjoyed the film, but was still disappointed.

[@gunshotlagoon922]

I wanted to see Dr. Alan Grant in a leading role again but in this movie they made him practically useless. Ellie and Malcolm weren't much better.

[@RockNRollSurf]

​@@BuddSidewinder This is the first time ever that I've seen anyone say that they prefer the humans over the scary spooky dinos lol. Even the first Jurassic Park movie had human characters that were bland except for Goldbloom (pretty much cartoon characters). I hate these human stories because they are just boring clones of characters from Marvel movies, modern Godzilla/King Kong Monsterverse, and the 2010s Star Wars movies. Examples such as ruining serious moments with those awkward dad and Gen Z Rick and Morty jokes(I hate Rick and Morty so much lmao), the characters all being clean and with makeup on despite going through a post apocalyptic event, and boring acting that is just copied and pasted. I forget who the main characters are in this movie lol. I think that the little girl has Dinosaur DNA in her, but they never do anything interesting with this and all I remember about her is the fact that she let all those Dinos loose into the world and that's it. 2019 Godzilla King of the Monsters had so much potential, with the CGi monster battles being so much fun but the movie is sooooo boring because those human character stories hog 2/3 of the spotlight.

[@pharoahcaraboo9610]

they're still so laser focused on making the dinosaurs scary they'd never make them realistic. that theri straight up looked like it had mange. disgostang.

[@BuddSidewinder]

@@RockNRollSurf Well, I guess we'll agree to disagree. I don't like all the JP characters. Like Maisie releasing the dinosaurs in Fallen Kingdom, and then her lame clone storyline in JWD really grated my nerves. I tend to favor characters from the first and second movie. I enjoy the dinosaurs, don't get me wrong, but once I read the novels, I fell in love with the characters.

[@tlinn8524]

the biggest issues these films have is that they’re trying to expand the world when in reality they should be shrinking it; give us smaller, claustrophobic sets and situations, with practically effects. no green screens and unnecessary cg. let us feel for the characters and heighten the stakes that way. I’ve always wanted to see an ominous underwater scene in the same vein as jaws.

[@thehansolo0513]

i completely agree with your point in that, on a smaller scale, the smaller pieces of horror should be small scale like the kitchen scene from the original film, but on a larger, more general scale, i think they shouldve expanded the world more. despite supposedly being about dinosaurs roaming the world, the main part of the movie is just another closed-in park-escape setup, and it felt like such a waste this time around.

[@kambao_zheng]

As a hardcore Jurassic fan, this film was pretty "rushed" and the plot failed because they were just focusing on Locusts.. plus I feel they didn't give Rexy enough credit in the film as they portrayed her to be unable to defeat the Giga all on her own. The Therizinosaurus was cool to have but it just didn't fit into the final battle scene. The only good scenes were pretty much when Dodgson was killed off by the Dilophosaurus and when the T-Rex first appeared during the early final scene to face the Giga on a 1v1.. overall the film could had been way better.. it just seemed (as you pointed out) "lazy"

Also a youtube series made by an indie animator called Dinosauria! Both that series and Prehistoric Planet treat dinosaurs as proper animals than bloodthristy monsters, unlike JP/JW. Dinosauria focuses more on storytelling than a PP's documentary format, so I'd only consider it semi-realistic, but it's still leagues better for dino representation than the Jurassic franchise imo.

Dominion was about a kidnapping to stop a locust plague while they kept throwing different dinosaurs in our faces to give us the illusion it was about dinosaurs.

He says "The plot isn't even a plot, it's just what happens after the last movie." Yes, that's called a sequel, buddy. He even ADMITTED he wasn't paying attention. He even said he spent most of the movie watching the kids in front of him doing stuff.

I am only 40 seconds in and I am cracking up at how identical our experiences were with these movies. The first one was fine! I swear I remember actually even liking it. I have zero memory of the second one… like to the point where I question if I even saw it? But I’m sure I did? Whatever, but you’re right- this third one was so so bad. I was super disappointed because the trailer made it seem like it was going to be very emotional and sweet.

[@nguyenminhhieu1905]

It was really sad LMAO

[@URBONED]

I can’t totally see your argument for this not having enough dinosaurs. I’d be surprised if any of the other films have more dinosaurs and varied species than this film. Does the direction do them justice? Not particularly, I’d give you that one. And I don’t see the issue with the locust subplot, the idea of a mega corporation using genetically modified (with Cretaceous genes) locusts to destroy all agriculture that isn’t of said mega corporation is a pretty compelling sci-fi idea that neatly relates to what the Amazon’s of the world currently do. Is it as compelling as the simple fact dinosaurs are running wild across the planet? No. But considering the last two films, militarising dinosaurs and selling dinosaurs to millionaires in a big mansion, I think locusts has them beat. I think I’m the only person on the planet that was entertained with this film. No it isn’t amazing, and I would love if it tried to be but frankly nothing past the first film has IMO.

[@LilyRose8959]

[@joshualopez5141]

I liked it but there was a bunch of errors still like many characters didn’t get that much development, rushed ending with those characters, story was just bland like again saving another dinosaur and going into a Dino area. Villain was typical and some of the acting was bad. Jokes were ok but didn’t land. The throwbacks were also ok like it was mentioned but then it was either fast or not important. For me action and many of the shots (landscapes, Dino’s, and ending) was what saved it for me. The worst part tho was them transitions like kept going from one place, to another and it wasn’t a built up and rushed. I feel like only die hard Jurassic park fans will like it but causal fans like me will watch it but be forgettable

[@Satantron1]

The problem I had with this movie is that all the marketing set up this film as being “The dinosaurs are in the real world, how do we deal with them” and then after like a small montage suddenly they are all placed inside a confined park.

I was going to see this tonight but after every review has said that even the dinosaur stuff isn't that great and there's not much of it, I don't see the point of contributing to their box office. They should have just made a movie where dinosaurs found a habitat in Florida (because everything invades Florida) and now like you gotta worry about dinosaurs on your way to Starbucks.

That theory about Trevorrow makes way too much sense lol. It felt like he wrote this script as passively and carelessly as possible...

I just hate how lazy it seemed. The introduction and conclusion were both just expository info dumps BOTH in the form of a News story to either catch us up or wrap things up. The latter of the two doesn’t even have a visible news anchor, so it could’ve been some random narrator for all we know. For four years, Dominion was marketed as being the one about the dinosaurs all over the world and that’s what being dealt with- - Within 5 minutes of the movie, we’re told people have “somewhat” assimilated with the dinosaurs, and that’s exactly where we are at the end of the movie. There is no development other than the absolute cartoon villain story of Biosyn. Why are there villains in “Jurassic”? I suppose Dennis and Ingen are pseudo villains in the first two, but why are these last three (and these last two in particular) setting so much time aside for a poorly written villain. You have dinosaurs in your movie bro, focus on dinosaurs. Edit: I thought there were like twelve species in Jurassic World. Besides the big boy dinos in that and Fallen Kingdom, I feel like I’ve seen so many weird ass types of dinosaurs- a lot more than twelve.

Jurassic World was only tolerable to me because it was like a meta cry for help. It was self aware. The movie was warning the dangers of messing with a formula that worked, now trying to sex it up. Hence why the Dinosaurs kill the Frankenstein creation. The end. But it inevitably, didn't stop. Jurassic Park has this funny ironic inability to yell cut. JP was the biggest blockbuster of it's time. It was a family movie, but a survival horror with themes of science commercialised and provoked thought. They should have left it there. But No we need a sequel. I actually love Lost World, until the last act, but it did thematically what the Original set out to do. Conservation message, the good the bad and provide both sides against survival horror... Sure it was a bit silly, but the characters made up for it Then Spielberg had a nightmare. It became a monster movie. In all senses

I agree with most of what you said. In general, the movie was quite underwhelming. What I find interesting though, is the bug plot. The usage of GMO’s(genetically modified organisms) is somthing that is used more and more often. We already see the usage of genetically modified crops. These crops are more resistant against diseases and have bigger fruits. The idea behind this is good. But in the wrong hands, it is pontetially quite concerning, like we see in the movie. Only the crops made by biosyn were resistant against the bugs. So yeah, I found that very topical.

I actually found this film very entertaining. Probably the most entertaining sequel to have been released since the first Jurassic Park film IMO. As it stands it's my second favorite besides the first film being my absolute favorite. To me Dominion came close to capturing the magic and excitement of the first film. While it's not as complex as the first film, it was still a solid globe trotting adventure and I didn't mind the focus on locusts. I actually found it refreshing for the threat to not be dinosaurs this time, and I like how the focus on dinosaurs in the modern world was framed as more of an exercise in coexisting with other parts of nature and wildlife. It was a nice sentiment that I'm glad they focused on. I never walked in expecting anything different from that tbh and I think that's probably one of the reasons why I enjoyed it more. The film definitely has a slow start, but I think from the chase sequence in Malta all the way to the very end is when the film picks up ALOT of steam for me. I also think the cast did great, both the new and the old. It was great seeing the trio from the first film come back to cap things off. Yeah it was just an overall entertaining 2 hours for me. I had fun with this movie.

[@DEDITS-gd8qt]

The film discourse about their being “not enough dinosaurs” may just be one of the dumbest false narratives I’ve ever seen online. Hate the movie, critique it all you want, but did we watch a different film? I believe there were around 25-30 species shown, I’d say half of them got a individual sequence and maybe half of those - Blue, Beta, Rexy, Giga, Thezirinosaurus, Dilophosaurus etc got several sequences. Some like the Dimetrodon or Atrociraptors or Carnotaurus and Allosaurus got a decent amount of screen time. There were dinosaurs EVERYWHERE in this film. The original 1993 film they had merely 15 mins of screen time - 8 of those purely taken up by the T-Rex breakout. The locust were fine, good even. They’re genetically modified to take out rival companies and independants crops - something straight out of genetic/technology abuse from Michael Critchon’s original novel (or other work for that matter, Congo, Prey, Micro, Timeline, Westworld etc). The locust had like 2-3 scenes. The first brief attack, when Alan/Ellie went in, and then them being burnt. So if you’re gonna say the dinosaurs had little screen time, then the locust had probably 1/4 of that.

I think he meant that they had no importance in the plot. You could remove them from the film and still have the same narrative about the locusts and clone girl. But agreed on the Dino screen time. There is basically a new set piece every two minutes
