Was Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) crap?
Jurassic World: Dominion is one of the most depressing pictures I've seen in the last year, and I've seen a lot of bad movies as an editor of film reviews. The third film of the Jurassic World trilogy and the sixth installment in the Jurassic Park series as a total failed to match the hype surrounding it. It was evident from the start that this movie was not going to be a huge success.
Jurassic World: Dominion is a thrilling tale about dinosaurs threatening the earth. Instead of taking the idea seriously and expanding on it this film keeps the dinosaurs in a small park. Unfortunately, this is the first of many disappointments in the film.
One of the major issues with the film is that it fails to meet the high expectations established by Jurassic World, Dominion. The film was marketed as the ultimate conclusion to the Jurassic World trilogy. It promised a satisfying finale to the trilogy and huge improvements. Many viewers were disappointed the film's inability to meet the standards it set in its marketing.
Jurassic World, Dominion's storyline is confusing and dull to the point where it's almost absurd. It tries to introduce the characters from earlier films without any consideration of whether or not it makes sense. The story is told badly and incongruously and the historical characters are reduced to nothing. The film is at an important stage. The running time of the film is so long, that you will be left wondering what all the fuss was about when the titles begin.
Jurassic World - Dominion attempts to synchronize two plotlines unrelated to keep the audience interested however, it fails spectacularly. Despite the obvious presence of the Stegosaurus however, the movie seems to overlook it throughout, leaving viewers to wonder why it's even in the first place.
Although Jurassic World: Dominion may be a significant improvement over the widely derided Jurassic Park III, that's hardly ringing acclaim. It's also one of the weakest in the Jurassic Park series overall, which is quite a statement given the history of the series of weak narratives. Jurassic World, Dominion, is a shameful, useless waste of time and money. It's disappointing both for fans who have been around for a long time as well as new Jurassic Park fans and new viewers.
Basically, if you're an avid fan of the Jurassic Park movies, you must skip this one. Instead, watch the original Jurassic Park (blog post) film, which is considered the best.
