Jurassic World Dominion

Four years since the fall of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live amongst us all around the world, a controversial matter to say the least; but, with the work and help of a major biotech firm there could be an upshot in medical technology and gene therapies from the disaster. Now with the possibility of a food shortage at hand, humanity’s ability to stay as an apex predator on earth may be coming to an end, Re-uniting the best minds in jurassic lore might be the only way to save our existence. Written by Emily Carmichael, Colin Trevorrow, and Derek Connolly and Directed by Trevorrow, this derivative work checks the boxes as a summertime box office smasher, but lacks in the plot and concept development department. Riddled with stale and moronic dialogue, but ripe with chase scenes, this potentially final chapter in the dino franchise is based on one chase set piece after another with little substance in between, serving up retreads on all the now standard Jurassic tropes. Sure the cast contains the whole family from Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum to Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Isabella Sermon and that’s fine and fun, but moments together on screen are few and far between, and frankly not that memorable. Regardless, dinosaurs show up, do their thing, yay, and there’s even a message about acceptance and understanding to tidy things up with a bow. So, I guess show up for the dinos but check your brain at the door. This two hour and twenty six minute sweaty beast is rated PG-13.
