Dominion Perfectly Flips Jurassic Park's Greatest Jeff Goldblum Meme
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Jurassic World Dominion.
With the return of Ian Malcolm, Jurassic World Dominion brilliantly revives and flips Jurassic Park's biggest Jeff Goldblum meme. Goldblum returned in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, but only for a brief appearance. With Dominion representing the end of the franchise of sorts — at least thematically, if not literally — then his Ian Malcolm gets a bigger role this time around, joined by fellow original Jurassic Park characters Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), in order to provide as fitting a sendoff as possible.
Although the Jurassic World movies have largely focused on its new generation of characters, led by Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), it's the return of Alan, Ellie, and Ian that gives the third movie many of its best moments. Along with that there are, unsurprisingly, several callbacks to the first Jurassic Park movie, not least BioSyn and Lewis Dodgson (Campbell Scott) as the villains, and even the return of Dennis Nedry's Barbasol can. Nedry's fate is also given a homage, with Dodgson's death to the Dilophosaurus providing a nice mirror to that moment, but perhaps the best Easter egg comes courtesy of Malcolm.
