Jurassic World Dominion Director Responds to T-Rex Criticism
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Jurassic World Dominion.
In response to a tweet complaining about the use of the iconic T-Rex in Jurassic World Dominion, director Colin Trevorrow explains some of the reasoning behind the movie's story decisions. Jurassic World Dominion features a four-year time jump from the previous installment. The world has since become overrun by dinosaurs, leaving heroes Claire Dearing and Owen Grady in a precarious position as they attempt to keep Maisie Lockwood safe. Jurassic World Dominion also features the grand returns of franchise veterans Ellie Sattler, Alan Grant, and Ian Malcom. The talented cast includes the likes of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, DeWanda Wise, and Isabella Sermon.

However, one of the criticisms lobbed at Jurassic WorldDominion is that it has left the infamous dinosaur looking vastly underwhelming. The new movie pits the T-Rex against the imposing Gigantosaurus, who has been hyped as one of the franchise's biggest dinosaurs yet. While the Gigantosaurus makes for a formidable villain, some have complained about how, as a result, it has de-powered the T-Rex.
