![]() Those Doctors are just incredibly likeable and credit due to Dominion they did take care of them and the scenes with them do have a charm to them and the scenes shared with them are humorous and heartwarming. I will stand by and deliver the fact that without the original Jurassic Park trio cast this film would be worse. This film with its bloody locusts, honestly! Mutant locusts are the sheer terror that seemed far more terrifying than theropods taking on each other head-on or chasing people around to make a meal out of them. I’m not expecting a gore fest, but it made the dinosaurs seem very uninteresting now that the modern world co-exists with them. The T-Rex causing mayhem at the drive-cinema in the trailer looked incredible, but this was placed in the prologue for the film when really, it should have been in the main movie.įrom the previous outings this franchise has had some shockingly brilliant scenes, but Dominion is very tame. So little carnage or even clarity goes into the dinosaurs roaming free especially when the movie focuses on the illegal dino trading in Malta. In fact, the main villian Lewis Dodgson isn’t even that hateable, but we aren’t entirely sure of his ambition and main goal with BioSyn is either, so aside from trying to destroy his dinosaur sanctuary with locusts being set on fire, released and creating forest fires (admittedly, it was kind of cool), he doesn’t really strike out as a hateable villian compared to the previous films. It introduces characters that are either being forced to have back stories or they seem to be interesting and then we never see them again. Whilst some movies are clever to use nostalgia as context, it is the crutch keeping Dominion on its frail legs hindered by the weight of trying to do so much in so little time. In fact the plot is messier than an Indominus Rex massacre on a herd of sauropods. Meanwhile, the world’s food supply is being attacking by super locusts being bred and released by BioSyn.Ī news report at the start and a few other bits do catch glimpses, but the gutting feeling is that the dinosaurs weren’t even the main plot point. The infamous Jurassic Park trio Dr Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr Sattler (Laura Dern) reunite after Sattler received an invitation to now BioSyn employee Dr Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) to check out some dodgy stuff going down. ![]() Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) is the main target of a corrupt company called BioSyn with the super awkward Lewis Dodgson leading the company to research and use her for experimenting for gene splicing and replacing as she is a medical miracle.īeta, Blue’s self-reproduced baby gets kidnapped along with Maisie, and Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) aim to get to BioSyn to rescue her. The movie is set 4 years after the volcano eruption of Isla Nublar (Fallen Kingdom) and Dominion is as an idea of dinosaurs co-existing with modern life is a very interesting one and I was hoping the film explores it. We all know that Jurassic Park is the main source of this trilogy, but Dominion just confirmed the very thing that we all knew deep along – it was a cash in cow… or Ankylosaurus. ![]() Nostalgia is a funny thing and we are all an absolute sucker for it as it gives us glimpses back of the good times (to my joy at least, we can’t escape the fact the ’80s was the most fun decade *cough* Stranger Things *cough*). The question I pose is this – Was Dominion the fossil waving blockbuster that we were promised? Jurassic World showed some excellent promise (the product placement does get sickly) and set up the new trilogy quite well.įallen Kingdom didn’t hit the right notes properly, but it still carried that value where you really care about the characters and dinosaurs. Jurassic World: Dominion should have been the mother of the array of blockbusters that has been released this year. I write that with slight pessimism, but there has been such amazing promise considering the triumph Top Gun: Maverick was. ![]() 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.Īnother day, another highly budgeted nostalgia-tickling sequel that has been slapped onto our laps. Matthew Clewley brings us this Jurassic World Dominion IMAX review and well, he wasn’t too impressed.įour years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world. ![]()
