A generic, lifeless adventure movie that happens to have dinosaurs
If I were to list out all the things this movie focuses on dinosaurs would be fifth or sixth behind multiple storylines that range from bland to useless. Im baffled by how little focus is on dinosaurs. And I dont just mean they are barely onscreen. The original Jurassic Park barely had any for the first hour. But everything leading up to that the story dialogue and themes were all focused on dinosaurs.Thats not the case with Dominion. The majority of the storylines are tangentially related at best completely unrelated at worst. Imagine watching Taken but Liam Neeson has to watch out for dinosaurs... thats one storyline. You could replace dinosaurs with any scary creatures and it would make little difference to the plot.On top of that they did a poor job of balancing so many storylines with different characters. Or maybe its because every single one is uninteresting. And the moment when the different characters come together falls completely flat. I compare it to Stranger Things when the stories converge and the crew is finally together those moments are so impactful and exciting. They feel earned and elevate everything after. In Dominion you dont feel any kind of magic.Some parts were so bad they made me cringe or roll my eyes. But that wasnt the case for the majority of the movie. So why such a harsh score Because this movie which is the definition of a popcorn flick here to entertain us is unbelievably boring. I had 8 hours of sleep last night and drank a Red Bull yet I was struggling to stay awake. I had to un recline.All of the action scenes are forgettable. Literally. Its only been a few hours and I can remember maybe a couple cool moments. And one thing I couldnt believe the climax action sequence is straight up copied from one of the previous movies. I wont say which one but Im baffled they went this route. Its even sadder when you realize its worse than what it copied in every way.As for the dinosaur effects at times the animatronic dinosaurs look like toys. And the CGI dinosaurs look a bit off. I dont think its poor CGI but something about it doesnt feel right.I am so disappointed this is what they gave us for their self proclaimed epic conclusion of the Jurassic era. Especially after Fallen Kingdom left us with such an exciting cliffhanger the chaos that awaits the people of the world when dinosaurs are unleashed upon them. Thats not at all what we get.I loved the first Jurassic World. And while the second is highly flawed its still entertaining and filled with tension and suspense. I felt none of that with Dominion. 1 viewing opening Thursday UltraScreen 692022

They forgot why we loved Jurassic Park
When I go to a Jurassic Park movie I want something above all else hyper realistic dinosaurs in cool environments seeing them frolic in natural habitat defend territory battle other dinos for dominance hunt humans and the like. From the opening island scene with the brachiosaurus to the T Rex reveal in the rainstorm dinosaurs were front and center in the original Jurassic Park inspiring a sense of grandeur and awe. The dinosaurs were what mattered and everything else was peripheral even the plot to get off the island. We all wanted another glimpse of the T Rex or were anxious to discover where the raptors were lurking.So that was the first one. Now in this sixth installment not only are dinosaurs relegated to a commercialized product thats seen on every tv screen in the movie but theyre demoted below the humans genetics and even mutated locusts in terms of importance. In a two and a half hour movie one would expect dinosaurs to fill almost half that time and yet they pale in screen time comparison to all the human characters. Instead the director tried to insert cameos of the legacy characters in forced interactions and honestly cringey dialogue shifting the focus away from the real meaning in the Jurassic Park franchise awe for dinosaurs. The wonder is now gone.I have given it six stars in respect for the franchise and the limited appearances of some of my favorite dinosaurs but Im sad to see that the director forgot what made Jurassic Park so special in the first place.

Sorry It Was So Bad
Before I went to this film because my Grandson is nuts about this series of films I read one newspaper review. It wasnt glowing but it was positive. Unfortunately this is a mess. Others have already talked about the issues I have. Granted this is an empty headed summer movie it could still have been done with some serious thought. I was hanging in there throughout with a new dinosaur attack every three minutes and velociraptors going at fifty miles per hour and not getting tired. Humans being assaulted time after time and yet showing no fatigue. I also didnt see a scratch on any of them. But the best of all was the promise made to a baby dinosaur and his mother that precluded saving the world from famine. Not to mentioned the coincidences of everyone showing up in just the right places. I still dont understand how they got into that facility so easily. The return of the original cast was not helpful other than Jeff Goldblums sarcasm. Anyway its all been said. This is a poor movie.

Absolute trash
This movie attempts to exploit the nostalgia of the original characters and it fails miserably at every level. The action the editing the direction its all terrible. The movie has no focus too many characters that have nothing to do and nothing to do with each other. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is they did use plenty of real props for some of the dinosaurs so its not like the actors are always looking at a green screen. However everyone just feels kind of disconnected from the movie. Like everyone involved knew the script was trash and the movie would just be a cash grab because they knew idiots like myself would go and see it. Oh well. Just Hollywood doing what they do best.

A Bad 3:00 AM B-Movie Dressed in a Big Budget
Im going to make this short...Jurassic World Dominion is like cleaning out your refrigerator and dumping a bunch of stuff in the trash. Only in this case they decided to dump the stuff on the screen in this film. Jurassic World Dominion has a lot of story arcs with no real connection or depth. People are popping in popping back out then popping in again boring us with trite laughable dialogue and no real character development you dont really care about any of these people. Just when you think there might be something to a scene with the familar charcaters CUT TO another scene with no set up. This film is like watching a 300 AM B movie that is so bad it does its job by putting you back to sleep. And lets talk about the dinosaurs velociraptors and various man eating prehistoric creatures...nah its not worth it because other than the penultimate scene where the biggest and baddest were going at each other they were simply an after thought. Go figure.Everyone connected to this film tried to do too much and it didnt work as far as the storytelling is concerned. As I said before they emptied the refrigerator and threw in everything in this film and it left a bad taste in my mouth because there was just too much stuff.

Jurassic World Dominion
Easily my least favorite movie in the Jurassic Park saga. Absolutely horrible on ever level and a fundamental misunderstanding at what makes this saga so interesting. Trevorrow had no clue what he was doing with this movie. He was told to make the final film in a six movie saga and said to himself Hmm lets not focus on the dinosaurs in this FINAL FILM. How do you not understand what people want to see these movies for. You need to actually focus on the dinosaurs or you are not gonna keep peoples attention and I feel that is what happened here. Instead the film focuses on giant locusts Why is this so interesting that you need to sideline the dinosaurs for it. I didnt want to see an espionage story about kidnapping locusts and clones. I just want to see what the world would be like if dinosaurs took over which we dont see either. The main issue that happened in the previous film that CHANGED THE STATUS QUO is barely focused on besides a few scenes. Its baffling why they would do this. Not even the original cast can save this. Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill seem like they are having fun but the dialogue they are given is horrendous. The dialogue in general is bad but they got it the worst. The whole cast generally doesnt seem to be trying besides Neill and Goldblum. Everyone felt very low energy and if they didnt want to be there. The villain gave the worst performance in the film. They just let that guy spitball all these awkward lines and just didnt know when to say cut. The film feels relatively low stakes as well. It doesnt feel like a finale at all but more like a bad epilogue. Fallen Kingdom feels more like a finale than this and that movie is BAD. There isnt any build up to the final dinosaur battle as well. Apparently it was set up in the prologue that they released a year ago but they decided to cut it from the movie. They decide to cut the scene that shows the conflict between different species of dinosaur. Yeah great job guys. It doesnt help that this film is mindlessly boring as well and it doesnt deserve its 2 and a half hour runtime. This is a train wreck of a film that you shouldnt watch even if you like the original film. Its a waste of your money.

Insufferable
I absolutely hated this film... legacy characters used as bait for box office numbers a horrible plot that makes the incredibly long runtime absolutely insufferable. The actors arent at fault the visuals are good as you might expect from a movie this expensive but the script is atrocious and the epic conclusion is not very much a conclusion the main issue is not solved and everything that was wrong in the previous films is just elevated in this film absolutely terrible film dont watch it.

Is anyone else tired of Chris Pratt and that damned hand?
Its just amazing that no dinosaur hasnt bitten it off yet. In what promises to be the conclusion to the series all the main cast members of the previous shows are here. Alan Grant....... Ellie Sattler I actually liked the new characters. DaWanda Wise and Mamoudou Athie better than the old ones they are the only ones that come out of this unscathed. The special effects are as expected first class although really A Gigilomopoloposaurus they just keep getting bigger the dinosaurs AND the names. Not sure that its worth the Hollywood BlvdTimes Sq ticket prices 20 but its an okay way to spend a summer afternoon. I think tho Id wait til next weekend when the crowds will be 65 less.

Too long, some neat set-pieces
I will say this for Colin Trevorrow unlike other Hollywood writersdirectors who seem to be actively spiteful towards the classic sagas they are writing sequels to when Trevorrow says he is a fan of Jurassic Park I believe him.Thats why Jurassic World Dominion feels for good and for ill like the worlds most expensive fan film cramming in nearly every dinosaur known to man and every character meme and in joke from the previous five movies button up your shirt Malcom Get your hat Grant Oh look Nedrys old Barbasol can.Im betting that if the great Pete Postlethwaite had not passed away we would have gotten Roland Tembo rappelling from a helicopter to shoot an Oviraptor in the face.The movie is at least twenty minutes too long Hollywood seems incapable to make a non bloated blockbuster today even Bond movies have the running time of The Thin Red Line and it doesnt have a shred of the wit and intelligence of my beloved first Jurassic Park but I did like a few set pieces the Therizinosaurus the frozen lake... and its always nice to see the awesome Sam Neill back so I guess the fan bait worked to an extent.610.

See the Original
This is my least favorite of all the Jurassic movies. The original was excellent and fun. This was an excuse to have a reunion. The movie cant stand on its own. I watched it with someone who had never seen any of the previous Jurassic movies. He didnt get it. I thought we were passed films that allowed the stars to keep their makeup on after swimming through algea covered ponds. Not even camp enough to be fun.

Avoid Like the Plague
Life once found a way. Now I hope it loses itself.Jurassic World Dominion has its positives namely the fantastic Legacy characters wonderful return and well thats it. I enjoyed their presence especially Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum the latter who had the best lines as always. The rest...yeah I sincerely hope this is the last Jurassic Anything.All throughout this movie the word Dumb just kept popping up in my head. Dumb script. Dumb dialogue. Dumb luck with all the hilariously impossible coincidences. Too many Dumb references to this series and other Steven Spielberg classics. And the two Dumbest characters in the franchise are back Clone Girl Maisie who hates all mankind for her decision in the last entry and that screaming boy Franklin though THANK GOD he doesnt scream in this one like all the scenes he ruined in the last one.With a huge missed opportunity to expand on the actual title of Jurassic World this hopefully last chapter just has society dealing with dinos killing people and the economy while debating if they should be extinguished. But never mind that this series has always been around greed and the ineptest baddie of the franchise with the most hilariously bad security detail is up to no good and only our 1500 heroes in this movie can stop himWhile the second half is monstrously better than the first half I still couldnt wait for this movie to be over. Sure its better than the two worst sequels III and Fallen Kingdom but not by much. Like the Terminator this franchise shouldve stopped at 2 in The Lost World.The movies absolutely boring even with multiple action scenes and there are literally no stakes. In fact I was always hoping throughout the first two acts theyd have the balls to kill off any of the characters. As much as I would love to see the Legacy characters make it forgetting about the new Jurassic World characters never liked them much at least the movie wouldve taken chances.Im done with this series. Like Transformers 4 and Pirates of the Caribbean 4 even if they make another one like they did with those franchises I wont be watching another one. This was just crap.Final Thoughts Easy listing of the Series. Hint Only watch the 1st three listed below.1. Jurassic Park2. The Lost World Jurassic Park3. Jurassic World97. Jurassic World Dominion98. Jurassic Park III99. Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.

Wow, that movie was about as dumb as they come!
The new Jurassic World movie has got to be one of the worst big budget hollywood film I have seen in quite a while. The old returning actors are not enough to save the clunky dialogue or the absolutely pointless story here. As a conclusion to this trilogy it fails in a majority of areas. Worst of all in addition to being sloppily put together is its beyond derivitive. I honestly feel like Ive seen the majority of these story tropes used in a vast catalog of other much better films. Also it has one of the worst villians Ive seen put to screen. His acting and the dialogue for his character was about the equivilant of a 3 year old throwing a tantrum. Beyond annoying and even more unrealistic. The special FX werent even anything awesome just more of the same. However I do have to give it up to the team that did the creature designs for the practical FX those were more impressive. I would recommend waiting for streaming it wasnt even worth seeing on the IMAX as the majority of scenes were not worthy of the scale. 12 a dino out of 5.

The biggest disappointment of 2022!
Wow foiled again a movie from my youth gets a long awaited follow up it has a great cast with some familiar faces a big budget so theres action galore and some wonderful music but a plot..... a plot that could have been written by a random stranger walking past the studio.How on Earth is it possible for such a film to feel so vacuous so empty this film made me feel nothing other than boredom. 40 that could have been used on so many other things.Its not ok these days to simply try and dazzle us with some awesome visuals there needs to be some sort of plot but there just isnt one in simplistic terms it asks if man can live with dinosaurs but of course you know whats going to happen. Some of the visuals are great epic some scenes though....did they run out of timeChris Pratt didnt do it for me the old cast tried but it felt hollow.Like the dinosaurs themselves this franchise should have been left in the past. 310.
