Review of Jurassic World Dominion (2022) by Gndl00P — 12 Jun 2022

Yikes, this was hard to watch. The original Jurrasic Park was a bunch of really well-defined characters that we learned to care about being stuck in a horrible situation. The drama came from caring about those people and wanting them to make it out okay.

This movie just skipped that part and went right for CGI dinos and forgot to actually flush out the characters. Without a protagonist or moment in the story where I could get to know and like the characters, it's really hard to give a %#$@ if someone is about to die.

When I walked out of the theater I said it was like Star Wars Episode 1 was made for Jurrasic Park, that bad. There were some well-done moments that were good nods to the original but the story was an absolute mess.

There was absolutely no protagonist, no attempt to help guide the viewer through the story. The character development was absolutely terrible, there were plot holes you could park an aircraft carrier inside, and so many moments that I wondered if they were even attempting to have a believable story.

If I was 8 I am sure that I would have been very excited about the poorly CGI'ed dinosaur scenes but unfortunately, I am an adult who actually saw the first movie and this is a very poor way to end such an iconic story line, with a script that should have been a first-round draft.
