Review of Jurassic World Dominion (2022) by Amateurfilmvwr — 22 Aug 2022

If you're seeing this for the dinosaurs and the legacy characters, its a more than passable film. Is it the worst one in the series? Nah. The problem with this movie is that, they marketed it as , "Oh, the Dinosaurs are loose and humanity is no longer the top dog. Life found a way blah blah blah" but its really only like that for one scene. The rest of the film theyre like trapped in this forest preserve and have to stop these giant mutated locusts from taking over.

The plot itself is a jumbled mess, I can sort of understand that they had ALOT of difficulties filming this movie because of COVID restrictions and they probably had to make a ton of changes to things to adapt to the conditions.

The positives are the dinos, they look fantastic and they're really doing fine work making these things look as real as possible. The legacy characters are fantastic even though Alan Grant is mostly playing second to Ellie Satler and Ian Malcolm is kinda there but he contributes more towards the end of the film. Bryce Dallas Howard's character is given the most development from the new characters, she's easily improved the most since the first one. My favorite new character is actually Kayla Watts, portayed by DeWanda Wise. Wise does a great job in bringing a likable and badass side character that offers some laughs too.

Besides the jumbled plot and so-so direction, Dominion was passable.
