One thing that disappointed me was that the movie felt too... safe. None of the protagonists were ever in any real danger of being eaten by dinosaurs. The only ones who were killed off were the villainous characters/henchmen. In the original trilogy, a few of the heroes did die and that actually keeps the audience on edge, because you don't know who will be killed off next. Even in Jurassic World, you had characters like Simon Masrani and Zara, who were neutral characters, and they were killed off. Fallen Kingdom and Dominion played it way too safe and you knew that all of the heroes would survive.

I would actually go as far as to say the film LIED to us. The trailers and promo material made us think Dinosaurs were wreaking havoc on the environment and were causing an ecological imbalance so severe that life as we knew it was at risk. But instead, it was the EXACT same "Our protagonists are trapped in a remote area with Dinosaurs and they have to make it to safety" plotline for the *sixth* movie in a row. Not only that, the film was so thematically drunk that it decided to instead be a Fast and Furious film with a kidnapping plot rather than have anything to do with Jurassic Park!

The new Terminator, Predator, and Men in Black sequels all did this. For example in Terminator I really wanted to see how John Connor rose to power after Judgement Day but they didn't do that. Instead they just re-used the story of Terminator 1 and replaced John Connor with a girl. It's literally the same movie with minor tweaks.

There's always something to learn in this movies though. Take, for example, the Atrociraptor. Well, the film illustrates one of its peculiarities: it is a predator that is able to adapt its running speed to that of its prey, but not to reach it, but to make it feel its breath on the neck. Thus, as we have seen, when the human flees on foot, the atrociraptor follows him relentlessly, making him believe he can reach him at any moment; when the human gets on a motorcycle, the atrociraptor, wickedly, increases its speed of pursuit, always with the aim of terrorizing its prey. It goes without saying that the Acrociraptor, precisely because of this curious feature, did not have to wait for the arrival of an asteroid to become extinct ...

One of the things that really annoyed me besides the obvious stupid plot points, was how underused Dodgson was? If you think about it, in the movie’s lore Dodgson was inadvertently the cause of Jurassic Park’s failure, if he hadn’t been working with Nedry. It would have been really cool to explore that with some kind of revelation about him to Sattler, Grant and Malcolm. That everything they went through in Jurassic Park was essentially because of Nedry stealing the embryos for Dodgson’s company, which failed? Idk, I’m reading too much into it I guess but I thought if you’re going to bring back a character like that, why not use him to your advantage and really delve into the lore of the original movie instead of making up some stupid plot about that woman character they made up on the spot who apparently “was there the whole time”. Man such a waste of potential in every way. I adore this franchise and was really hoping it would be a proper send off but it really really wasn’t.

Kind of sad that this happened, the franchise seems to have a kind of split personality these days in terms of what the point of it is. Like it acknowledges that the science is blindly ambitious and the commercialization is blindly greedy, nature is ultimately beyond our control and trying to manipulate it into being a spectacle for people to revel in is both dangerous and futile. but on the other hand, hey. cool dinosaurs. enjoy the spectacle kids, dont worry only unimportant or bad characters are in actual danger

Something I've noticed in virtually EVERY movie that has come out in the last few years has been that there's some exposition dump a third of the way into the movie which has the main characters lay out a plan for what to do for the rest of the movie. And then it ALL HAPPENS. There's no plot twists that surprise me, no detours that take one subplot off on an unexpected tangent, no mystery, no uncertainty for the survival of some characters, none of that. When I saw this film yesterday, after the plot was properly established, I correctly predicted everything that would happen next and nothing surprised me or amazed me. Another example of this was with Dr. Strange 2; nothing was surprising beyond a few brief cameos from other film franchises and everything was explained and layed out before it ever happened. I look back to the original Jurassic Park film to juxtapose it and confirm if this is indeed a new phenomenon with films and I can say that it is. The original JP films DID lay out a plan and have exposition dumps, but those quickly got derailed as soon as the dinos escaped and/or the main characters got lost. These were adventures and fights for survival where the audience wouldn't know what was about to happen next. The same can be said for the Star Wars trilogys; the original trilogy was very adventurous and while the plot of the films weren't derailed as much and it wasn't a fight for survival as much as it was in JP, there was still twists and detours that some or all of the characters went through. Fast forward to the sequel trilogy and we have all the characters huddled together talking about shit that's about to happen rather than the film just throwing those things at the characters. There was a plan to escape or find something or get somewhere and it happens just as the setup says it will happen; no surprises, no revelations, no twists, etc. This takes away the sense of adventure that the original trilogy had because why the time something new happens, you've already had half the fucking characters explain that it is what is gonna happen. Back to Dominion, the whole story is spoon fed to us and when that happens, nothing feels like an adventure or fight for survival like it did in the JP trilogy. The last ~10 Marvel films, the last two Jurassic World films, Disney's Star Wars films, every DCEU film and unfortunately many more films to come are all doing this crap and I hate it. If I could sum it up in one sentence, it would be this: "action/adventure films are becoming more and more predictable and the writers are becoming more and more afraid to put plot twists into the stories." The ONLY thing that I was partly surprised about and glad to see included was the return of the embryo can from the first film. I was glad that was cleared up and concluded rather than being an unfinished subplot from the first film. But after five seconds of thinking about it, I wondered what the hell was the purpose of the can being in this film in the first place if the dino DNA had escaped the island anyways due to the ending of Fallen Kingdom.

I feel like 90% of shots I've seen from the "World" trilogy has just been people (usually Pratt) holding their hands up in a "whoa there" motion to dinos. Why would that stop a dinosaur?

The saga, and trilogy, ends with him doing what no one has been able to do - use genetic power for *good*, to use it *responsibly*. He didn’t want to make the bugs, he simply wanted to create (same as the novel version) “if I don’t innovate, somebody else will”. Dodgson/Biosyn wanted the bugs, they let him create with their money.

I guess they just didn't want to be predictable and kill him off but yeah his shift in character is pretty jarring. Personally I think they should've made Wu go mad and make dino human hybrids to one up his competition since his big fear is that others would catch up on his work. But the specimens keep dying so that's why he needs Maisie and Beta (sure why not...more toys to sell) but during his incessant monologue one of the dinosaurs (maybe the raptors to pay homage to the books) kills him

When I got out of the cinema I was disappointed. I love the jurassic park and world movies, I grow up with them. They really are my childhood. But this movie just... didn't satisfied me. I thought this would be a good finish for the saga, but it wasn't. The horror of the other movies didn't exist, no one of the main cast was in any danger. They got everything they needed to solve their problems very easy and the supporting cast, yeah it supported without any real reason why. And the antagonist did nothing to stop them (what seemed rational or realistic) when he found out, that he was betrayed by his employee he was just like "I guess that happend, but I am gonna ignore that. They can't stop me cause, how should they? ( people who survived a dinosaur outbreak several times) a dino man and some old people?". His "actions" didn't make any sense. The three important factors of jurassic (my opinion) dinosaurs obviously, science (gen stuff) and horror failed in this movie. Too many new dinosaurs, who didn't do anything than being there and looking awesome. The science stuff got boring, because we had better stuff (for example Indoraptor...) than some insects. And finally the horror just wasn't present, because nobody important died. Which was easy to see through, because they can't kill one of the main cast in the "last movie".The humor and jokes were great as always( Ian Malcom a great character) But there was something missing, that the other movies had...

In the original JP discussion between everyone at the lunch was such a intelligent scene and discussion that really grounded the film and allowed you to take it seriously. That scene would never have made it into a JP/JW nowadays. And thats the sad commentary.

I just wanted to see dinosaurs wreaking havoc in modern day society since Jurassic Park gave me a taste of the destruction that these prehistoric monster's could dish out in a busy city. Also, did anyone else notice how the Jurassic World movies have toned down the realistic violence that was apart of Jurassic Park? I don't even remember seeing blood in Dominion.

It also explains the "Lyson" contingency in that a scientist, over the course of the story, essentially removes it from the Dinosaurs so they can live on their own outside of JP (As they explained in the first movie, they used that contingency to make sure all Dinos would die if they ever stopped getting suplements from the Park) honestly it's kind of bad move when Telltale can make a better story than the ones big production studios think of.

The biggest let-down of Dominion was that the ending seemed incredibly forced and lazy. Fallen Kingdom ended with the premise of dinosaurs being loose in the world, having a potentially interesting setup on how this would play out. Dominion went down the ‘evil corporation’ route and ended with everyone being like, “Oh well, we can’t do anything about these dinosaurs. We’re just going to have to learn to coexist with them, as will nature.” The entire movie’s premise feels wasted, because it seems like nothing that happened in the movie made any difference. There was no ‘solution’. They spent so much time on nostalgia and forgot to write an interesting, cohesive plot, and it shows. And when there was plot, it was extremely flawed. Spoiler warning if you care. I wasn't expecting some highly intelligent storyline, but when you consider the effort the Biosyn scientists went to to capture Maisie and Beta, you'd expect them to be somewhat decent at their job. Instead, not only do they put them both alone in an unsupervised room, they allow them to escape before actually doing anything. This particularly bothered me, because it's like the writers said, "The audience won't care. They just want to see CGI dinosaurs eating people." Which, incidentally, we saw a maximum of 5 times. I wasn't expecting much, so when you take everything into account, it's a tolerable yet dumb movie. As a generic CGI action film, it's OK. As a Jurassic World movie, it doesn't do justice to the characters or storyline of the original concept. JW 1 was OK, a new take on a previously established idea. I can appreciate that. JW 2 and 3, I vote we discount them as canon, encase their screenwriters in liquid amber, and never speak of again.

It's even stupider when you realize that just existing with Dinos isn't something we can do. Beyond the fact they are invasive species that would wreck every ecosystem they get near, there/s also the obvious issue they shouldn't be able to survive much less thrive all over the world. The reason Hammond set up the park on an island is because it was a Tropical one, thus the environment would've been similar to the kind the Dinos were exposed to when they were still alive. Putting them into areas like Deserts, Cold Mountain Regions and other areas is just setting them up to die. For that matter how exactly did Dinosaurs survive in places where there's snow, that doesn't make sense. Plus didn't the first movie also establish that Ingen cloned plant life from said prehistoric periods as otherwise the Herbivores wouldn't survive? Wasn't that why they brought Satler along, cause studying extinct plants was her job.

Ok this is a joke but Blue basically did that in the last movie

One of the themes that for me made the original Jurassic Park interesting was how it put a group of scientists who while not the physically strongest, were mostly intellectually strong individuals who’d been studying and admiring these creatures to the point where they felt like they understood them beyond the average person in present time. So when faced with the reality of having to survive against them, it made it truly interesting to see how their human qualities would merge with their intellectualism and understanding of dinosaurs to survive. It's what made the character triumphs and deaths worth it, and it was constantly reinforced throughout the film that the dinosaurs would reign supreme over them. This latest film wants to capture these elements, but it forgets that puzzle-like structure of what would make these JW characters worth watching for. Maybe with a different writer, I’d probably enjoy Owen’s character and angle more, but it falls flat for me, and the plots introduced in the story don’t seem to suit what his character would shine in doing anyway. They’re trying to pose these big questions, but they don’t have any real character vessel for you to forge an attachment to the concept. Maybe if they had changed that up, they would’ve been able to seamlessly utilize the dinosaurs more than having to use them as set pieces.

@srayj

Жыл бұрын

I agree with your take. I also think that they were so worried about everything being fast-paced, that they didn’t take time to develop the characters and give them nuance. Some of my favorite scenes in the original are actually the exposition scenes, like the lunch scene, Ellie’s scene with John and the ice cream, Ian with the water drop and Alan in the tree with the kids, because they don’t just give exposition, they humanize these people so that we understand them and their motivations. In the new series, Claire and Owen feel especially hollow. After 3 movies, I still don’t feel like I know them. The thing that was always missing for me in the first JW film was, why was Claire there? In a world of management positions, why pick that particular place? She seems indifferent about the “assets” for a majority of the film, which is why it’s so jarring to me in the second film when she becomes a huge dinosaur advocate. Imagine if we got even one scene of her talking with her nephews about the magic and wonder of dinosaurs and how much she once loved them, but over time, has become jaded and numb about the wonder and focuses more on the profitability to the point where she has become disconnected from why she started working there in the first place. A scene like that could have given her character more depth and explained to us her personal motivations for shifting her focus to protecting the dinosaurs in the second installment. We also could have had more information about Owen’s time in the military and why he trained animals, which ties into your idea of someone with a particular skill set being challenged, but the issue there is that he never loses. In the original JP, our characters are mangled and traumatized and almost killed multiple times, just squeaking by with their lives, but in JW, they come through with some trauma, probably, but not even a physical scratch. At least in Fallen Kingdom, I appreciated Claire getting her leg stabbed by a claw...until a minute later when she goes action hero and climbs on a roof, despite her injury. Ultimately they forgot what made the original so great, amazing characters, a fascinating premise that has adults debating their own childish joy against the greater safety and moral ramifications of the technology at use and suspense that is built and earned.

We are putting way more time & effort into a franchise than its own writers did. *I dont mean that as an insult to them* , *in fact shame on us* . The issue isnt just that it's bad, it's hollow. There is no reason to debate or critique or breakdown because there was no real intent. It's like if someone came to you today with a 10,000 word critique of a story you wrote in 5th grade.

It was breathtaking and the music really shaped the experience as well. Same with the first sighting of the T-rex and the raptors.

Because the writers are predictably lazy. Predictably, they would not care to write a proper cohesive story. They would not care to tell believable reasons and justification for the events that unfold. Predictably, they simply put together a ton of "cool set pieces" and then found the simplest way to loosely string them together with some weak story thread they never cared to double check its own integrity. Modern Hollywood writing 101.

For the shaving cream can, the embryos did die and the can was recovered as part of a 1994 cleanup on Isla Nublar, that Biosyn had a man on the inside to retrieve. As with most things in the Jurassic Franchise, things are explained in deep cut viral marketing sites and other lore than the actual movies.

It makes 0 sense. How do you find a tiny can of shaving cream buriend under foots of mud, years later in the middle of a dinosaur infested island? At the very least it would be a corroded flattened out pancake of tin foil. And as the video mentions.... why even fetishize it? Why care about it, if not for nostalgia factor?

You know it’s bad when I was sitting in the theater waiting for it to be over Edit: also you know it’s bad when absolutely nothing changes from the start to the end. Like the world is literally the exact same as it was when it started. All it was was “go to a place, run away from a dinosaur. Then once they escape that dinosaur, they get to a new place. And then they run into a dinosaur again… not a good movie.

The dinosaurs coexisting plot is still more compelling than the clones and giant loust plot.

Regarding how Dodgson found the shaving cream can with embryos, iirc, in CC, he was traveling Isla Nublar alongside Kenji, Kenji’s dad, and 2 rich people, and he happens to notice the shaving cream can partially buried in the ground.

My dream is an R rated mini series that follows the books exactly. 2 seasons, 13 episodes each, and then done. Totally new cast, get the same guys back who do the practical Dino work, and lean into the horror, action, corporate espionage, and the complex madness of Hammond.

Heres something else you forgot to point out. The can of shaving cream was not only buried in mud and carried away by water but it was on an island that was destroyed when its volcano erupted. Unless Louis manage to find it before that happened the chances of finding it are 0. Even if it somehow survived the destruction like say the lava never reached its final location the chances of finding would still be 0. Theres no way you're going to find something like that on a lava covered island.

Especially seeing the "battle at bigrock" shortfilm released and the scenes where the t rex was being chased into the forest by choppers and ambushed a drive in theater. So many amazing moments wasted in the misleading marketing. The locust plot was the worst part for me. The Beta and Maisie rescue shouldn't have taken as much time as it did either. So much else could have been done with this film.. im honestly heartbroken after seeing the movie.. 😩😞 Something tells me we were supposed to get something entirely different, but was changed at some point with all the delays cause of covid... i feel that the movie was hinted at 4 years ago, was gonna be amazing.. then the movie released...😔😓

"I pirated it and I still wanted a refund"

What makes it worse is that 2 weeks before dominion prehistoric planet came out what is an absouluteley amazing piece of dinosaur media.

When the Movie ended, this one dude in the Theater yelled "BOooO!"

My wife and I went to see it yesterday. I nearly fell asleep halfway through because it was dragging so badly. I agree 100% -- the central plot of the movie seemed to be "genetically modified locusts are devastating mid-western farms and it's all Biosys' fault." However, this "plot" doesn't even get it's initial setup until nearly 15 minutes in, and even then it's the brief scene of the two kids barricading themselves in the barn. The only other two scenes that even touch on this alleged carnage are when Ellie visits the farm later, and a later scene where the computer guy points to a heat map on his monitor showing the spread of the locusts. That's it. There's no build-up, no establishing stakes, etc -- it's just, "so there's monster locusts now." The dinosaurs in the film seemed to only be in the movie for no other reason than to justify calling this another Jurassic installment; virtually all of their scenes serve solely for action sequences, none of which relate to the locust thing, and I got the impression a lot of the dino shots were just the CGI team showboating (as is often the case in modern films). The thing is, we could remove the dinosaurs from the story and it still works -- a genetically modified locust is terrorizing the US, and we need to get to Biosys to stop it. Why do dinosaurs even need to be in this? Then there's story structure overall. The narrative was frustratingly overcrowded, and I found myself numerous times thinking, "Oh yeah, I totally forgot we had this whole other thing going on with Ellie and Allen!" Early in the film there's a brief scene of Claire and two cohorts rescuing a baby dino and exposing an illegal breeding facility.....which served no purpose in the plot whatsoever. The only time this shit is ever even mentioned again is nearly an hour in when Ellie and Allen are about to board the Biosys plane; Ellie walks by the caged dino and the woman tells her all the dinos were rescued from an illegal breeding facility they found out from an "anonymous tip." WTF? Why was this even needed? The film sets up four different narratives: a) Owen and Claire tracking down Maisie. b) Monster locusts are gonna destroy us all c) Ellie and Allen visiting Biosys and attempting to nab a DNA sample d) Blue's offspring is captured and taken to Biosys, and Owen promises to Blue to bring her home For at least 2/3 of the film these four narratives run separate to one another with very little seeming to connect them. It's not until Maisie unites with Ellie and Allen in the lab that things start to tie together. Oh...almost forgot...there's also Kayla Watts, because why not? The film moves at a painfully slow pace at the start, particularly during the early scenes with Maisie, Owen, and Claire at the cabin. We go through this whole rigmarole of Maisie feeling trapped and venturing into town against her parents' wishes.......which is never brought up ever again. I get that it was necessary to setup the later scene where Maisie gets captured on the bridge, but did we really need to drag this out for 10 minutes?! Overall, it just felt like a convoluted hot mess of a script, with little thought put into structuring the narrative concisely. This film could've easily been cut down to 90 minutes. But it's run time is 146 minutes...2 hrs & 20 minutes?! No offense to Colin Trevorrow, but I get the impression the essence of the original JP film is lost on him; he seems only interested in making a 2 hr spectacle with cool CG dinosaur FX -- which by the way, look god awful.

The best thing I can say about this movie is that if rumors are to be believed, Bryce Dallas Howard is now free to direct and star in the MCU Fantastic Four.
