Jurassic World: Dominion was advertised as “The Epic Conclusion Of The Jurassic Era,” a tagline that would be proven untrue just a few years later with the announcement of 2025’s Jurassic World: Rebirth. It’s a good thing that it didn’t end up serving as the finale — Jurassic World: Dominion has a clunky plot, uninspired cinematography and stretches its nostalgic potency to a forced breaking point. A cavalcade of subplots all manage to bury its prime hook — what would our world be like if dinosaurs were just, like, around? By the end of it, you’re begging for extinction.
That’s not to say there weren’t gems in the movie. One of the subplots gave us a sincerely fascinating idea to chew on: The genetically engineered locusts that threaten earth’s food supply are revealed to be a scheme by an unscrupulous genetics company. If only they ran further with this.
