Jurassic World Dominion | Film Review

 

I am a huge fan of the Jurassic Park/World franchise, and always enjoy watching the movies even when they're not that great. So I was really looking forward to seeing this one.

In a world where dinosaurs and humans co-exist, characters old and new find themselves once again battling both dinosaurs and humans to ensure that all creatures can continue to live in peace.

That was a really hard description to write, mainly because this film doesn't really have a coherent plot.

From the beginning of the film, there are so many location changes in such a short space of time that it starts to feel a bit disorienting.

There were two storylines running alongside each other, and I found that I cared about one of the stories much more than the other, to the point that I was completely uninterested in the other story until the two were merged into one.

The concept of humans having to escape from a dinosaur is one that will always be exciting, especially when the characters are ones that we have already grown to love. 

It was enjoyable to see all of the characters come back for this one, particularly the older characters. However, it never felt like we needed all of these characters to tell this story. I would have preferred for them to be the focus of the story, rather than them being slotted in for fan service. They never felt integral to the plot.

In addition, considering the hype around this movie, and the fact that they brought back such iconic characters, the events of the film never felt particularly significant. In fact, it didn't feel like much had changed from the beginning of the film to the end.

Overall, I had a good time seeing this because of my love of the dinosaur concept, but this isn't a great film. However, if you're a fan of the previous Jurassic movies, I'd definitely recommend it.

5.5/10
