Probably the same old same old. Too many white characters, everybody is straight. We need a gay POC in there somewhere cause something something reasons.

Clearly. Transparently.

But hey. I will say that as a trilogy this does manage to "bring it all together" and justify itself. It's a little stupid but it's fine.

The only weak links are the new characters. Black lesbian Han Solo (complete with Millennium Falcon) didn't serve any purpose but for them to say they have a black lesbian in the movie. They could've easily made one of the other characters a pilot and we could've been saved 10 minutes of running time. The nerdy black guy who snitches out the evil megacorporation is fine but we never get any sense of why he did the snitching or how he wouldn't have been vetted better.

The main bad guy is actually pretty good. He's not a big looming presence, but he's believable. He's quirky and logical and isn't just doing evil for evil's sake. I don't know if I'd ever seen that actor playing him but he was fun to watch.

Spoiler:

Also, the shaving cream can from JP1? It's neat to finally have a nod to it... but why is it like a valuable thing now? Nedry even said it was going to go bad if he didn't get it into refrigeration/freeze within a short amount of time and he obviously failed to and it wasn't even being frozen now, 30 years later.

The main bad guy was Lewis Dodgson, who looked like Apple's Tim Cook, He was the character you meet briefly in the first Jurassic Park, They couldn't use the original actor because he's a registered sex offender now.

In 2010 or so we got a canon story on Biosyn recovering the shaving cream in Jurassic Park the Game, it's immediately after the original movie ends.

Oh, forgot to mention. Right before the movie played you get treated to a 2, maybe 3 minute PSA all about climate change. Basically it's a CGI dinosaur at a podium lecturing the audience about global warming and how humanity will go extinct unless we shape up, etc. Whatever it takes to improve their ESG rating, I guess.

Why should anyone care? Human beings are so narcissistic by definition. They actually think we're gonna be the dominant species on this planet forever. How precious.

They make it out to be that it's something of a dino-snore of a movie.

I'll still see it, of course, but the trailers just didn't do anything for me.

I have yet to see it. Probably never will because the first Jurassic World just didn't grab me, but all the people I know who saw Dominion over the weekend say it was boring. One lady said her children fell asleep halfway through.

Just watched it On Demand. Loved it. Thought it was going to be the best JP sequel and still think it is. Personal Rank based on story: JP, JW, FK, Dominion, LW, III (I go back and forth on 2 and 3).

Haven’t read or watched any reviews except a bit of those links above me. Ridiculous how anyone can say it’s boring or it has no plot/identity. Kinda hard to explain putting it in spoilers.

Spoiler:

Dodgson wanting to use the giant locusts to alter the earth and take control is a perfect plot. It ties to the character wanting to smuggle DNA out and wants something more than just money. He obviously kept the Barbasol can as a trophy. It was on a shelf with claws and stuff.

The old and new cast being equally important to the infiltration of Biosyn came together wonderfully. Great combination of 2 separate storylines.

Kayla Watts was a pretty cool character even if she wasn’t that important. Call her PC or whatever. Then Ian’s daughter in the Lost World was PC too.

Spoiler:

The “Nostalgia recreation scenes” complaint is dumb. It barely does that at all. I guess they mean the upside down car when they all meet. It’s not very long though.

So happy Claire did not die. Bryce Dallas Howard’s comments a couple years ago really seemed to imply that.

People really, really love glorifying the 80s/90s. Half of one review was just talking about the original. Yes we all love the original whatever-it-is. I saw JP in theaters too and became obsessed with it for awhile but it was not the Golden Age of entertainment. Stop putting it on a pedestal.

Can't these movies just adapt the "the dinos all get brain decay and go extinct" part from the second book already?

How Jurassic World Dominion Should Have Ended:

[sdp]

Did anybody watch the in continuity Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous cartoon? Overall it's a cartoon for kids so if you go with those expectations it'll be better. The kids have tons of plotarmor to survive the 5 seasons so it gets silly that they get into all these situations and come out alive. If you can live with that the first 3 seasons and interactive movie are pretty fun. The last 2 seasons are just awful, they introduce AI Robots and pokemon fighter Dinosaurs so everyone hates what happened but at least it got a good ending.

It's getting a sequel show Chaos Theory and it'll take place in the Dominion era so dinosaurs roaming the earth.
