Jurassic World Dominion Review: Fun But Messy Conclusion To JP Sequel Trilogy
Jurassic World Dominion is a messy but fun end to the Jurassic Park sequel trilogy, bringing franchise themes, characters, and nostalgia full circle. Much like Jurassic World, Dominion is at its best when it's riffing on the original series and once again leans heavily on shots, set pieces, and interactions that fans will remember from Steven Spielberg's first installment — even if those homages are sometimes at odds with the current storyline and drama. Nevertheless, director and co-writer Colin Trevorrow does his best to bring the Jurassic Park franchise to a logical conclusion, one that honors a core principle of the series as a whole: Life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories, and crashes through barriers.
Jurassic World Dominion picks up four years after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which saw a subset of John Hammond's prehistoric creations rescued from a cataclysmic event on Isla Nublar, only to be auctioned off to war criminals and profiteers, or released into the wild by Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), and human clone Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon). For the conclusion to the Jurassic World trilogy, Owen and Claire rush into a globe-trotting adventure when Maisie and velociraptor baby Beta are kidnapped by mysterious assailants. Along the way, the Jurassic World leads cross paths with Jurassic Park survivors Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) who are on a world-saving mission of their own.
