I thought the movie was fine, not the best but not the worst. If I were to rank the 6 films, Dominion would probably be 4th. At the very least, I enjoyed seeing the cast of the original and the new trilogies working together, and I feel the film gave the series the finality it deserves.
Tbh the worst part is how this was the finale movie. This was the film that was supposed to wrap up the overarching plot, not just for the World trilogy, but for the original trilogy, too. I get it’s hard to pull off a satisfying conclusion, yet even as someone who likes the movie just because they like seeing the dinosaurs, it still left me empty.
I also have a problem with Giganotosaurus. Unlike the Indominus or the Indoraptor, he is not “evil”. There is no message of “genetic manipulation is bad”. There’s no catharsis when he is defeated. He was just a regular carnivore. In Jurassic world and fallen kingdom, there was a representation of “mutated monster vs natural animal” in the final fight. Here, there wasn’t
@@Radha-rani1254 But the problem is the giganotosaurus was hyped up to be the big bad villain of the movie, and it underdelivered, its nice that there was a more realistic portrayal of carnivores in real life, but they chose the wrong dinosaur to make act realistic, the giganotosaurus just comes off as pathetic at times in the movie because of how passive it is.
“mutated monster vs natural animal” I mean...we did get that. The problem was, the "mutated monster" was represented by the hyper-aggressive rex and the therizinosaurus, and the "natural animal" was the giganotosaurus
Jurassic Park 3 did a similar thing spinosaurus. It behaved like Godzilla is running around chasing humans in killing everything in its path where as the T-Rex behaved more like an actual animal. It was highly aggressive and territorial but did not attack unless it was provoked or hungry.
I think one of the biggest problems with Jurassic World Dominion is the ending and its message. At the end of Jurassic World Dominion, we get another glimpse into the world, and we get to see how dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals have begun to coexist with modern-day animals, with the final shot of the film being a sinoceratops walking alongside an elephant herd. The message is pretty obvious here, being that dinosaurs and humanity, as well as the rest of earth, can coexist. I have two problems with this ending. Firstly, there is no way that dinosaurs could simply coexist with modern ecosystems. They are literally invasive species, and would likely cause more harm to earth than good. Secondly, doesn't this all go against Ian Malcom's philosophy in the first movie, about how dinosaurs cannot exist with humanity?
I would wager that 1/6th of the dinosaurs would successfully integrate, mostly herbivores probably, the others would die off or mutate into something stranger. Our oxygen levels aren't appropriate for such massive beasts, as the world in their time had massive amounts of oxygen, allowing things to sustain larger forms more economically. Dragonflies have existed basically forever, and were once the size of house cats. They've adapted, survived and even thrived in some spots.
Aside from what would make sense in real life, it doesn't make sense in the movie either It starts with the news segment saying that the dinosaurs are wrecking havoc like 'oh no what we gonna do' and at the end of the movie for no apparent reason, they are just fine the movie plot does nothing to explain how it suddenly got fixed It makes no sense doesn't matter how you look at it
While I dislike the movie I actually liked the coexist message. It is a nice message. Also, this is a science fiction movie, you shouldn't expect everything to be scientific. Ever heard of suspend your disbelief? You got to do that with movies, especially science fiction ones. Also Ian Malcolm's philosophy and theories couldn't just be wrong. But like I said I still don't like the movie anyway even if I suspend my disbelief.
I think the movie should have replaced the "giant locust" invasion problem with the herbivore dinosaurs. Make the herbivores be as much as a problem as deer. The difference being that the herbivores would consume tons of food every day and start jeopardizing people's food. It could be a nice premise to put a moral problem in the screen: us or them? Who is worthy of living?
Wild hogs do literally billions of dollars in crop damage, and even Texans with helicopter mounted miniguns can't control the population. This is incredibly plausible.
This movie is such a perfect example of the rising nostalgia problem, where basically all big filmmaking companies try to wring out as much money as possible by luring the audience in with this idea of nostalgia. And using nostalgia to enhance a story isn't inherently a bad thing-when executed nicely-but it's the fact that it's been so overdone with so many different films and productions that make it kind of tiring to watch. Also, it really sucks if you didn't grow up watching the movies from which the nostalgia is being drawn, because then it feels like you have to sit through those other movies just to feel some sense of excitement when some random throwaway callback is made. Also also, it's basically one big ad for those older movies. The point is nostalgia's great but so is GENUINELY ORIGINAL NEW IDEAS!
So far the only movie where nostalgia happens and it works is spiderman no way home. The old characters are therw for nostalgia purpose but they also play a huge part for the story and for our mc.
I see why Steven Spielberg stepped away from this franchise after 2 movies. There’s only so much you can do and the first JP is still the best movie in the franchise
There’s actually a massive amount of potential things they could do, hell even Jurassic world was a good idea with the park being actually open. However everything that came after was just a constant tease of stuff we would rather see. Hell I’d rather have the dinosaurs be the main characters and just follow a legit rexy storyline and realistic power struggle with the giga, spino, other predators/herbs as well. But nope… cut the prologue and give us locusts!
Steven Spielberg is not immune to ignorance. Trust me. Hell, Jurassic Park 3's script was ONLY an idea he had of a plane crashing into the island. The official pre-filming script they had after changing the first one, was tossed out. Although they said it was months before shooting, it ACTUALLY was tossed a few weeks before shooting. The whole film was shot without a script which was written as they went along and the actors had to quickly prepare for the changes after having been cast to play completely different characters who were all either changed or altered minus Alan and Sattler who were simply given new story plots (Sattler being turned into practically a cameo). Steven was completely fine with this. He also argued on the the first film set to change the facts about the dinos for more Hollywood Blockbuster style. The Paleontologist who worked on it has even told interviewers that Steven said he wanted to show them as animals and not Hollywood Monsters, but in the end all he wanted was Hollywood Monsters. What the World trilogy needed was more accuracy and a writer, not a writer/director. Or at least, Not Trevorrow. He actually did good with Jurassic World, but the sequels should have been both written and directed by better writers and directors, especially ones who were true Dinosaur lovers who knew the stars were not the humans, they are ALL supporting characters. Everyone wants to see dinosaurs. While we're at that, the moment special effects artist achieve a go they slack. In each film they should treat it like the last effects were not real enough and constantly work hard to out do themselves with the next one. Here, they clearly didn't. The puppets looked like foam toys and the dinosaurs did not look real, they were bad cgi from five years ago. They may claim they constantly try to make them more real, but it's all talk and no action. The moment it looks good to them they give in and don't think, "Now how can I make this look far more real" This is why the effects in the first film, although old, still hold out today and still look pretty real and their large scaled puppets look more real than ANYTHING Cgi or puppetry in the new Jurassic films. I mean the giant locusts were the most reallistic looking thing in this film! It does help that it's just slightly different from something that does still exist. But the Pyroraptor....so cool yet the feet were so fake and the feathers so Playstation 3. Wtf was up with those fake-looking feathers? When I saw this feathered Raptor, I was both Joyful and disappointed.
The 1993 original is still the best and it was good movie with likable characters and a great cast that actually told a good story about how playing God and messing with nature only creates chaos.
The books are still better. The explored more chaos that the go movie WATERED down in favor of spectacle. For example when it was revealed the dinosaurs were breeding it was a much bigger deal as it showed the system to keep track of them had and from breeding had failed. In the movie it could have been cut out and nothing would have changed the plot.
At the same time , the franchise has gone against its own moral message , given the first two movies made it clear that some things are better left alone, dead as the ramifications could be catastrophic. Yet in the new movies now say that no we should pursue it anyway and adapt to the changing world , what ? As much as I enjoy this franchise realistically it shouldn't have gotten sequels.
Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom still keeps the message that humans have no control over nature. It is just Dominios that drops the ball completely. Not only with the epilogue, but with the mind control/ jedi power hand thing, It barely worked with Owen who spent years studying Velociraptors, now everyone can raise a hand and tame a dinosaur.
@@martinmorles1 I feel it does a lot different with the idea of naturalists, anarcho capitalism and people not learning from their mistakes. Even if the dinosaur appearances are far less impactful.
To me, it felt like it had three plots that could have been their own film. The locust and legacy one, the stolen girl and the dna plot 2, the whole underground black market of dinosaurs that had an antagonist who was willing sick raptors on them 3. Oh and the pilot character could have easily been Malcolm’s daughter from Lost World undercover to help them.
I once dated this girl who hated “dumb monster movies”. She didn’t want to see the original JP with me, I told her “it’s not like that.” She gave it a chance, she loved it. Not only did the film make her jump twice - it opened up interesting debate between us on the film’s subject, the element - or lack of - control, the struggle between man and nature. This was a girl who hated monster movies. Now we have these Jurassic World sequels…Yeah, they’re just “dumb monster movies”.
The worst thing for me was that the dinosaurs weren't anymore scary or frightening at all, because the plot put them aside so they where like a nonstop sidekick instead of the main problem. But to be honest the bugs had potential.
@@Frobilen the therizinosarus could've have more screen time and the dimetradons in my opinion could've been exchanged for another dino yes it was cool but I think a small little raptor species would've been better. Thier not bad scenes but at that point in the movie it just felt like it was thrown in to fill out some time than it being impactful like the raptor in the first jp
@@tiga8600 I'd honestly take anything, as long as it's not spinosaurus (also dimetrodon isn't a dinosaur, it's a synapsid and lived before dinosaurs and is a relative of us) and yeah the therizinosaurus should've had more screen time tbh, but I'm just glad that the general publis now knows about this bizzare herbivore, plus it ended the whole "herbivores are nice" trend
The biggest disappointment for me in this was the characterization of Lewis Dodgson. In the books he was devious, uncompromising, ruthless, and even belligerent. His job at BioSyn was head of experimental R&D where all he did was steal other peoples research, reverse engineer it, and change it enough to legally patent it. He was only interested in the dinosaurs from InGen because he could fully exploit them as research animals through a legal loophole because they “had no rights.” He acted like a smooth talker to Dr. Sarah Harding to secretly get information out of her and then attempted to murder her by shoving her off their boat in the middle of a tropical sea storm. And when his team tried to steal eggs from the T-Rex family on Isla Sorna, it went wrong and he basically left his team to die while he tried to get off on his own. I was waiting forever to see this evil man put to screen for more than a 2 min cameo in 1993. What do I get…a slightly angry Bill Gates. You FAILED Universal, you EPIC FAILED BIG TIME.
completely agree with you, finally a fan that sees how shallow and boring lewis dodgson is, i always kept thinking to myself they wasted a fan favourite character just to parody tim cook, and i wonder if colin trevorrow even understands jurassic park and the lore (making references doesn'tt count)
A while back, I noticed that Eli Mills from Fallen Kingdom felt like a better Dodgson than the actual Dodgson we got from Dominion, in some ways. For example, at least when Mills smothered Benjamin Lockwood to cover up his criminal acts, the ruthlessness of that act made me think of when Dodgson tried to murder Sarah Harding on the boat, in Crichton’s “The Lost World” JP novel.
This is why I boycott most Hollywood films. They bleed out the original IP until there is nothing left but a twisted husk. They imbody the spirit of Lewis Dodgson better than the villains they portray on screen
The ironic thing is the “boring” plot line is actually a terrifying real world issue where a handful of corporations control the world’s crops/food supply, genetically modified seeds, & the disappearance of small, independent farms.
That would be great. On something that IS NOT Jurassic Park. They could had made an entirely separated movie about the locusts and go full spy thriller as it is starts with regular corporate espionage that accidently walked into a world domination plan.
It's not terrifying. It's what already happened, and it's not bad at all. Pick ANY poor country and see how descentralized they are. Economies of scale are what allows you to spend part of your day watching videos on RUclips instead of working the fields from sunrise to nighfall every day.
And the control part, that also happened because certain governments systematically exterminented or curbed their competition. Rome salted Carthage so they couldn't grow crops. Lima, Perú had extensive canals and produced a lot of food until the Spanish destroyed it. The British forced the Irish to use their fields a certain way and that led to famine. What you fear is what already exists, so just accept it.
throughout the whole movie i was expecting someone in the cast to die, other than the villain of course. I was hoping that the stakes would raise at some point and thought about who would go, how they would go, what would kill them, hoping something would happen to raise the stakes. Nobody died...nobody really even came close and at some point in the movie i was just thinking no one's gonna die and at the end...every single important character and semi important character was alive and i felt empty.
Well I'm glad it wasn't Barry casue we know how that trope goes with the black guy is either the first to die in horror movies/ thrillers or they always die no matter what
Yeah a lot of people call it "killing the red shirt characters" (Only killing villains or even side characters) and I hate it too. I don't give a damn about plot armor Show balls I like to say, don't be afraid to kill a main character, but nope
Throughout the entire buildup to the movie waiting for it to come out, me and my friend were theorizing who would die, we eventually came to the conclusion that either Grant or Malcom were gonna die But nope, every main character lives… remember in the lost world how they had the balls to kill off Eddie, everyone’s favorite character in the movie, or how in Jurassic park they killed off Muldoon and Ray Arnold
It's hard to care when every scene lacks tension when you know the characters are going to make it out fine after a while. They can survive plane crashes with no I'll effect while acting like superheroes the whole time. In JP and TLW the characters felt like real people in actual danger instead of just this watered down cash grab that was fed through some mass-appeal formula to just be shown to as many audiences as possible. The lack of blood or any brutality also ruins the film a bit too when you have dinosaurs attacking people.
If you go into a Movie thinking to yourself ,,There won't be any deaths lololol" no scene is gonna have any tension at all. Not even Jurassic Park wich is not saying it's bad as it truly was glorious but you cannot say that the movie had no tension, Therizinosaurus Scene/Santos chase/Dimetrodon cave/if you cared enough the final battle/The generator scene etc.
It's what Dorothy Jones Heydt calls the Eight Deadly Words: "I. Don't. Care. What. Happens. To. These. People." Drama only has meaning if you care about the _people_ involved, otherwise it's only so much meaningless noise.
One thing I’ll give credit to this movie is that one scene where Claire is hiding from the herbivorous dinosaur (forgot what it’s called) actually being a threat for Claire because despite what many people might think; not all plant eating animals are safe and friendly like we’d think they are and can still be just as deadly as meat eaters.
the thing about stakes is, a villain threatening to kill 1 person can be as shocking as "I WILL DESTROY THE UNIVERSE!" hell Darth Vader saying "if you will not turn, perhaps she will" has more of an impact then entire planets being blown up in star wars.
@@greycegordon1597 its because the suits have never had this much power in the movie business. its also not about making profit anymore. its about potential growth. line needs to go up. that and allot of nepo babies are getting way more oppurtinities than they deserve. nothing wrong with being a nepo but atleast be a good talented one.
I think that the locust plot line was the writers trying to mimic Michael Crichton's style of writing, but socio-economic thriller doesn't mesh well with the action movie that the writers actually wanted to write. This makes the legacy plot line seem more boring compared to the new characters' plot line as a result.
Something I think they actually could have done with Allen is give him PTSD from his time on the two islands. They had a starting idea with the third movie.
I think the movie would've been better if they took a different route with the premise. Make it so the dinosaurs have multiplied to the point where they were able to overrun smaller communities and neighborhoods, and Biosyn is a private defense corp or sorts that provides settlements with defenses (such as those biochip things that make the dinosaurs not attack each other), effectively making it so Biosyn controls the world. Then have the main characters unraveling a conspiracy of sorts.
Can we recognize the effort Filmento puts into his thumbnails. Just look at the reflection of the word failure on the water. That's some dedication. Then again, we shouldn't expect anything less from the guy that gave us Thanos Rat
This is so subpar to the Thanos rat though, you could do this in like 20 minutes but that work of art must have taken so long +Thanks Filmento for understanding this was indeed a compliment:))
There's also a problem with the scene placing. It just made it seem random. Ellie Sattler was at the cornfield then, teleports to where Allan Grant is... Like wha-? What happened to the locust kids? How did that character do that? How did that character get that? When does this scene take place along with the other scene?
9:56 This is due to a reoccurring statement in the dinosaur community that the dinosaurs don't act like animals, this is shown very well in the scene when the two carnivores fight for the deer, although there's a problem there that I'll gloss over for now. In the mini-fight scene for the deer, the dinosaurs look at each other, and the fight isn't a fight to the death, they both just want to eat the carcass, and when the fight starts, there's only some face biting and roaring, and then it's over in seconds. This happens in the wild with similar niche carnivores, like lions and hyenas, the majority of the fight is just yelling and light blows, because neither wants to die nor lose the carcass, and the fights usually end in one running away and one taking the food. Whether this was intentionally researched by the filmmaking team or not is up for debate. Now on to the timestamp's scene. The Giganotosaurus doesn't seem to care much for what the humans are doing, nor does it seem to want to eat them, it seems merely curious, like an adult big cat playing with a mouse. It's not jumping on the opportunity to eat Malcom because he's a tiny morsel, which brings up the deer thing again but I'll gloss over it because that problem has been mentioned many times by several people. It stands within 20 feet of the humans with clear vision but basically just stands there. The humans are not a threat to it, nor a valid food source, so the animal just stands there and goes "hmm I wonder what those little things are" without ever trying its best to eat them, simply because they're just little morsels really not worth its time. Again, whether the filmmakers designed this scene with realistic animal behavior is unknown, but it is likely that an attempt at this may have caused the docility of the large carnivores towards the humans. In my opinion, the filmmakers did try to make some realistic behaviors, and did succeed, but even then there's still many problems in the film even if you entertain the idea of its logic. The main carnivores are still humanized, the new designs are extremely basic (better ones shown online by the artists were ***robbed*** of us), Trevarrow neither knows nor cares much for realism in the animals, and 70% of the entire movie is just fanservice. At best the movie is a tolerable fanservice project and at worst it's a disgrace to both science and fiction. Again, I may not be the best at speaking about this franchise, but if nothing else, dear reader, watch The Unnatural History Channel's yt video on JP, it really is a must-watch for anyone even invested somewhat into this franchise.
Please sir this is a RUclips comment section I don't need to hear more of your inherited beliefs from way back in the bone wars I hear them enough from your type of person enough as it is
They chose the wrong dinosaur at the wrong time to act realistic. I can appreciate this attempt at realistic animal behaviour, but it feels like a straight up slap to the audience's face after the director hyped the giga up to be the biggest villain of the franchise, as far as calling it the joker of the franchise, and then it does nothing.
I think the whole "GMO locust plotline" was an attempt to mimic the Original JP theme of humanity recklessly pursuing genetic engineering with little or no concern of the repercussions, but this plotline could have been streamlined into the far more interesting "genetic hybrid dinosaurs are roaming freely and wrecking ecosystems across the globe" which is the giant elephant in the room that the film refuses to address
My issue was not so much the locusts themselves playing a major part in the movie, but rather how the dinosaurs were not also posing a major imminent threat alongside the locusts. Even the Michael Crichton JP novel had giant dragonflies roaming Isla Nublar, for example. *In my opinion, one way they could have fixed this is to have Lewis Dodgson set a plan in motion to start selling BioSyn’s dinosaurs on the black market.* That way, there could be the another ecological threat from the illegal worldwide dinosaur trading becoming amplified, which would need to be stopped. To make the T-Rex vs. Giga conflict relevant, Dodgson could even stage a fight between the two carnivores, to both generate extra money from the blood-sport and act as a sales pitch for BioSyn’s products dethroning InGen’s legacy. If both the prehistoric locusts and illegal sale of dinosaurs were posing an imminent ecological threat, then it could have worked better. It would remind me of how, in the classic Resident Evil games, the protagonists needed to stop the Umbrella Corporation from creating zombies and lab-grown B.O.W.s like Tyrants, both of which could threaten the world in different ways and at different scales.
Funny thing, the oversized raptor that died at the end of the movie? When Jeff Goldblum addressed it earlier in the movie, he said "It's a Not-a-saurus." But in that situation, you completely miss it, probably call it a Nautasaurus, and expect elaboration when they were done running away from it. But that elaboration never came. It was indeed a "genetic hybrid dinosaur;" the shape of a raptor, the size of a T-Rex. But they delivered the plot point with such a hushed murmur, as it got drowned out by a second plot point. It *was* a big deal that the film tried making, but they failed to anticipate people catching that in a single sentence. The plotline was there, it was very capable of being interesting, but here's the thing: stories don't have room for multiple high-stakes plots. People can barely follow one story, let alone two or more... especially when your movie goes hard on a nostalgic angle and winds up with an older audience (which is somewhat less perceptive.)
@@RdTrler If you are talking about the large carnivore at the end of JW Dominion, which was killed by Rexy and the Therizinosaurus, that was not a hybrid. It was actually a real dinosaur from South America called the Giganotosaurus (syllables usually emphasized as Giga-noto-saurus). The Giga is famous for being one of the only predatory dinosaurs to rival T-Rex in terms of size. Though, pop-culture has frequently exaggerated the Giga’s status, as contender for biggest land carnivore, given how that record is still currently held by a pair of exceptionally large T-Rex specimens (nicknamed “Sue” and “Scotty”). That being said, JW Dominion originally had a prologue that would properly introduce the Giganotosaurus, only for it to be left out of the theatrical cut and relegated to the extended cut. But even then, one would need to overlook the liberty they took, showing the T-Rex and Giga living together at the same time and place.
Exactly! With Blue it made sense because he raised her since she was young to understand hand signals. Unless Henry Wu installed “don’t attack when a person raises their hands” into their DNA somehow, a lot of these characters should be without hands or arms.
I think the problem with this movie goes way beyond the legacy plotline. The Chris pratt plotline was horrendous. In terms of stakes, there were no stakes in any plotline. How many people genuinely felt afraid or in danger for our hero when blue showed up? How many were afraid for our heroes at ANY moment in the movie? We always felt safe because the movie didn't bother working hard to actually convince us the heroes were in danger. For example, we see Chris having a hard time trying to escape raptors on his motorcycle. Then we see Claire OUTRUN a raptor. In one scene the raptor is so close to her, in the next scene she had already made her way down a flight of stairs and the raptor is struggling to keep up. So no matter what plotline you cut, the movie would have been bad either way because they wanted to make money off of nostalgia and just showing dinos on screen.
The amount of plot amour the main characters had is unbelievable. I could not even be scared for them cause they always survive without a scratch, maybe I'm still traumatized by GOT but damm let me be concerned about character's safety
Same, like at this point Owen is the only character I really like but even he didn't have any survival type scenes, instead two raptors chained to a wall helped him interrogate the villain like K-9 units lmfao
I was half tempted to just pull of my phone mid movie. It was so boring! No tension cause of course all the main characters have to survive and also be in top shape. Make some of them get their leg chopped off!
For me the thing that really killed all the tension was the minuscule ammount of death, literally only THREE PEOPLE die the entire movie, two of them are bad guys (who you always expect to end up dying gruesomelly) and the third is just the random scooter guy who gets chomped in the street. Even if the original jurassic park had just threee kills, each of them mattered because they were part of the team, innocent people just trying to survive. Jurassic world was the bloodiest movie in the franchise with the most over the top death, and though fallen kingdom toned down the viollence it still knew how to make the creatures have presence. So there is no excuse for the finale of the whole series to have: characters that don't even get hurt, a villain dinosaur with no reason to be scared of and dinosaur scenes that feel so bland it's more like you're watching a Reality TV gauntlet of obstacles intead of situations with actual danger.
@@waterbox1385 True , I get they didn't want a lot of kills for Dominion to make the dinos look blood thirsty mindless killing machines. But they still could have done more with it. Here is a scene they could have done at the Malta Black Market : As the Allosaurus and Carnotaurus escape we see someone shove an egg incubator on the ground shattering the eggs in the process. But unfortunately for the bystander the parents are nearby ( A JP3 Male and Female ). The two raptors escaped their cages and went after the culprit.
The worst thing about this movie for me were the countless stupid moments that didn't make any sense but were included cause looked cool, or helped move the plot forward. Like, why didn't anyone shoot the weaponized velociraptors? they had guns! Why did the pilot help them? She even took them there, in her own plane, which got destroyed. Why would she do that? Why did a cargo plane have an ejectable seat? And why wasn't that seat the pilot's seat? How tf can two people survive a plane crash with no injuries at all? Why were the locusts so flammable? Etc, etc. I can forgive one or two of these things in movies, but too many just push me out of the fiction and ruin the inmersion.
The Velociraptor baby wouldn't be able to survive at all in that cold region of the Earth, it would die of hypothermia. There's a reason Jurassic Park was placed in a tropical place. The producers didn't even think of that too, there's no immersion.
"Why do you have one passenger ejection chair? Why not all? Why not just for you?" "Because they had an idea for a cool scene after we get inexplicably attacked and needed an ejection char. So it's because the script demands it." "Thats silly, If the plane is attacked why can't we just dramatically jump out of the back with chutes?" "James Bond and Mission Impossible already did that." "Oh. Fair enough."
Or when Claire taizers the evil smuggler lady dressed in white, and instead of, you know, collapsing to the floor due to the electric shock and getting temporarily paralyzed, she instead flies 5 feet across the room into the wall... Since when do electric shocks carry enough of a physical punch to yeet a person?
As a paleontologist I always like to see dinosaurs in screen, and with this movie I expected to see many dinosaurs around the world invading cities, so imagine how disappointed I was when I saw the locusts invasion
I feel so bad for the girl playing Maisie, Isabella Sermon. She was fantastic in this movie and Fallen Kingdom but she was given very little to work with in terms of character I really hated Maisie in this movie and I despised how disrespectful she was to others. For instance, there’s a scene where Dr Wu is trying to be nice to her and she just flips him off. 😒😒😒😒😒 I hope she gets better roles in better films.
@@RazorRex It was and felt really forced tho. You could even make the assumption they were just copying from that because the writers have no idea how teens act. They just think that teens are rebellious because they are just following cliches and relying on generic tropes. It’s bad writing. Plain and simple
Personally if I was that clone girl's parent or guardian, I know I wouldn't tolerate any of her attitude. She released a bunch of dinosaurs into the world and now people everywhere are being eaten alive, she should be grateful she's being given a home and a bed to come back to every day, it's more then she deserves after dooming thousands of innocent people to be eaten by dinosaurs.
@@ButterPecan37 I mostly hated how she was basically a cliche. The rebellious teen character. I’ve seen it so many times, I wish it was a more realistic person, who we could really relate to or enjoy.
That sea dinosaur that eats the diving cage could have been a plot line in and of itself. If they got that big or even bigger you'd think they might wreak havoc on fisherman and or coastal communities. Maybe could have done something jaws like.
Bro I swear by the end of the 2nd Jurassic world movie I thought THAT was going to be shown as issue in this one but evidently I was wrong. I don’t even think that ocean dinosaur was in the movie
The funny thing is despite all of your very valid writing points, I cared infinitely more about ab the locus plotline simply bc Ian, Ellie, and Alan had SO much charisma. It felt like those 3 were having fun being back together. I could not care less about the clone girl being kidnapped or Chris Pratt doing the hand thing for the billionth time to stop a dino. Everything that happened to those two and Bryce was just so predictable and often nonsensical that I just wanted to skip to the next scene with the og trilogy and try to forget that I just watched a raptor travel 70 mph through a city block on the tail of a motorcycle. When my favorite part of your Jurassic World movie is Alan not understanding how a barista in a joke that goes on far too long, that’s when you know 😂
Just watching the trailer, with the original trio framed together, was painful for me. To me, this movie stands out as the poorest Hollywood attempt to capitalize on nostalgia yet. Every layers to the original 'Jurassic Park' stripped away until it's just "dinosaurs" and "action". This is the franchise at its most brainless and dour. If the previous movie broke the wall, this movie made a bridge and it's a third of the way. To where? Why, a 'Fast and Furious' crossover of course.
Dominion dares to mimic the scene where Ellie takes off her glasses in Jurassic Park. While in the first film she stares for the first time at a living Brachiosaurus with one of the best movie scores in the history of cinema, in this new movie she takes her glasses... and stares at an empty corn field.
The one thing that pissed me off is the "villanous" dinosaur, Giganotosaurus, where, for a bloodthirsty predator, is actually a chill dude who slept peacefully, spared the humans, and fights quickly, yet it's demonized for no reason and is brutally killed off near the end. The hell man?!
@@chonflis3834 yeah! With the idomidus Rex...well he was a dinosaur with DNA mixed with those of some hostile animals and he was bound to go Rouge, but the one here? Actually nice
I remember seeing the original in a theater way back in ‘93. They blasted the sound and little kids were cowering in fear. I actually felt sorry for them!
I liked your point about these films trying to be giganic, "the world is ending" scenarios. Consider films like Die Hard or the Dredd remake, where the stakes are much lower. It's not about saving the world, it's just about stopping some villains in one small location. Even the first Jurassic Park was like this. It was implied the dinosaurs could escape, but in that film, the action was confined to one relatively small island. The movies that have simpler plots with lower stakes are often the more memorable films.
My favorite parts of the movie were when the original characters were talking. Honestly they could’ve been the only ones in the movie, maybe with the little girl too to keep the story.
I personally think that having Grant be introduced at the beginning of the movie as a helping hand with Blu and her baby would have been a good way to up the emotional stakes. He could start off as being terrified of velociraptors, as he has good experience with em, but then grow to respect them. Then when the baby is snatched along with Clone Girl both Grant and Owen have good emotional reason to head to “Apple HQ”. That whole “Apple Company is the big bad because corporation are bad thing” is such a tired trope that it needs to be done better. Perhaps make it so that they are trying to right their wrongs without having to let everyone know they did a wrong. Maybe they need the girl to fix the locusts because they accidentally made them somehow and are trying to made things right. Overall, some fixes could have made this movie an amazing experience.
Good review, although there's two problems. 9:37 - I think you missed the point of the scene with Giganotosaurus. Its meant to mirror the scene where Tyrannosaurus breaks out of its exhibit in first JP film. Its animal thats curious and is sizing up the characters who are invading its territory. Rarely do predatory animals go straight for the kill, they investigate and evaluate what is going on. In other words, its not a serial killer with blind lust for killing. 11:17 - you skipped/overlooked a certain scene in that final battle. When Giganotosaurus overpowers the T-Rex and stomp on her - some of main characters are underneath the T-Rex and are in danger of being crushed, so Ellie followed by Grant try to distract the Giga, who threats to retaliate. DeWanda's character fires a flare in the air to distract it so the everyone can get in the helicopter.
The dumbest thing about the final fight is Rexy magically coming back to life because of nostalgic reasons. I think it'd be a fitting end to the original big bad boss if it went down only to the ultimate big bad boss after putting up a heck of a fight. The dinosaurs are not the protagonists, so it should be fine if the "villain" wins (even though it was just defending its territory), because the humans are the ones we should be rooting for. It's been established that neither of the other theropods can beat it one on one, so it makes the fight feel ridiculous. If we really want to build up the Giga as the final boss, how about it eats Ian, who's already fulfilled his purpose, and in doing so, increase the stakes to make us feel anger towards it? Then seeing it ultimately come out on top would make the humans escaping feel more like a pyrrhic victory, as someone important was killed?
The thing I hate most about these movies is that they don't explain shit about the animals. They barely get names and that's it. For example the "bird dinosaur" is neither a bird nor a dinosaur, it's a pterosaur (a quetzalcoatlus) and pterosaurs are flying reptiles related to dinosaurs (while birds are actual living dinosaurs). The "reptile dinosaurs" are dimetrodons, synapsids from the permian period (and they went extinct right before the triassic, when the first dinosaurs appeared) and are much more closely related to mammals than any reptile. With all the shitty action scenes they need to go through they barely acknowledge any of this stuff and it's infuriating.
Aside from stakes, setting and over all thematic and story issues I think another huge problem the movies faces is lack of build up. All the other jurassic park movies knew how to make the main dinosaur antagonists stand out and appear threatening. Either by showing how unstopable and brutal they are or setting up the emminent danger before delivering with violent action sequences. But in jurrassic world dominion, because there are so many dinosaur attacks with so little build up, we just look at what's going on in the screen and go "neat so this dino can swim" or "wow this thing eats plants but it's also dangerous" and not "oh damn, how are they getting out of this one". Just look at the T rex 2 (Giganotosaurus), the only thing it does is bully the OG rex for food and be big, it's not particularly scary, it's not violent or unique and the only bit of conflict that could have been gained from it got shoved away to a prologue that didn't even make it into the film. And with the secondary dinosaurs it's worse since all they do is show up to be a mild noisy inconvenience and never be seen again. The characters not even getting hurt just solidifies the issue.
Let's be real here for a moment the local police force and the military would have turned all the dinosaurs into swiss cheese, the idea of weaponizing dinosaurs is one of the most dumbest things I heard from a movie.
They'd be a great irregular unit. Send in the dinos first, tanks and troops behind. Throw them in cities and caves and such. They'd need to be impeccably trained and controlled though. Possibly a method for a slight shock being delivered via a "pilot" who observes via a camera what the dino does. I dunno, I'd find a use for them similar to what k9 units do.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow animals arent interchangable like how people dont ride zebras though they are physically similiar looking So no, cant make dinos be like dogs 🤣
The Indominous Rex as a weapon made sense since it had camouflage but yeah using every other kind of a dinosaur as a weapon is stupid especially the endo raptor. It attacks things you point at with a laser…you mean things you could have just shot at with a gun if you attach it to said laser 🤦🏻♂️
@@TheGahta every animal understands the carrot and the stick approach. If it's a smarter creature, afford it more respect and it will be sent back tenfold. Ingratiation is the word of the day for the dinos.
The thing that really killed Dominion too is that they went and maked a movie for kids. The action is tooo tamed to be a Jurassic Park movie, there's 1 scene were the villain literally just walked out casually whe she was in the middle of a shoot out. She literally went like this 🧍♀️🚶♀️ Plus, most of the kills in the movie aren't even shown, besides that one guy on a bike that gets eaten by an Allosaurus there's no more visible deaths. As someone who is a DIE hard fan of the series, i give JWD a solid 4/10
@@gojigiante bruh, u maadddddd high, JP franchise always showed the pure agony and pain that the Dino brought. JP had the T-rex literally tear a guy to shredd while the guy was getting eaten alive. It also had Ned, who was crying Out loud in pain cuz the Dilo poison his eyes, his shout and tears was terrifying, and at the end he got mauled in his car. JP2 had literally a 6 or 7 year old girl that was eaten by compis, although i give u that they didn't show the scene, but it was heavily insinuated. JP3 had a fucking Spino grabbing and sinking his huge ass teeth in a guy that was pleading for his life. Then he ended up crushed by the spino. JWD deaths we're nothing special, nothing frightening and not exciting. It was just like Bam, there's that one guy that nobody knows that died.
@@notAlbertbtw Nah, JP had its moments. But the JW part of the franchise had the Indoraptor rip a dude’s arm off for fun, before eating him alive. It had the Indominus literally rip a guy apart while he was screaming in terror. And nah, ur trippin, JP2 didn’t have that, the girl survived at the end, it was confirmed. The Indoraptor slaughtered an entire group of people in a elevator, Compies ate a woman alive, The Raptor squad tore squads of ACU apart.
I'd argue the original Chris Pratt plotline is bad too. It's gone stale and some of its tropes are already old. Meanwhile, the Legacy plotline is indeed latching on like a tumor for fan service, but it doesn't feel important enough to be included.
Yes its also bad, theres nothing of interesting going arround doesnt matter how many different dinos they throw in. This was the worst movie ive seen this year.
@@kronozord8346 Even if someone were to argue that the Criss Pratt plot is good, the only reason it exists is to service the Legacy plot. "These locusts we made grew out of our control. We need to capture the clone girl and get her DNA because she could show us how to somehow fix the bug problem.
I don't understand; they released an epic short called 'Battle at Big Rock', which involved ordinary families left to fend for themselves against increasing apex predator encroachment and it was amazing! I thought we were getting that!
I feel if a legacy character bit the dust, either Allen protecting Ellie/Maisie from the dimetrodons or Ian distracting the giga, it would have given the legacy part of the story some necessary weight. Because as much as I love them, they weren't needed to tell this movie.
I think Ian makes more sense, as it builds up the Giga as the big boss of the movie. He'd already served his purpose in the second movie, and in this one. It also ups the stakes, as while the Dimetrodons are quite slow and awkward, the Giganotosaurus is fast, with long arms and a longer skull. I think that by itself would be slightly better, even if the rest of the film is the same.
I literally just finished this yesterday and let me tell you: this is legit the first time I was comfortable with playing my phone while watching a movie because it was just THAT boring.
Never did I think that the plot of a Jurassic movie would be: A scientist cloning herself and giving birth to her child asexually and giant locusts…. And not dinosaurs?
I remember watching Fallen Kingdom and after the scene where Maisie lets go of the dinosaurs simply because "they're alive like me", a lady sitting right behind me whisper to her friend "aw come on, what a dumbass". Normally i'm kinda annoyed by audiences whisper in a theater but i can't help but think that Maisie was such a dumbass. A ridiculous choice that absolutely blows my mind
This movie is the prime example of a film made to satisfy studio executives and nobody else. It is a film made without passion. Without a vision. Without heart.
You're right, the biggest problem in the movie is that how they set the legacy casts' plot/story line. It just feels like a big waste. I wished they didn't have to brought them into this movie and it'll be working fine, not great but fine with the clone girl's plot only and even though they messed up that plot too.
I’m weird because I actually kinda liked the locust plotline. It felt very much out of the books where a separate and more grounded ecological disaster that stems from similar technologies, biological manipulation, and ethical disregard for corporate benefit ties into the main plot and reveals the bigger picture going on with dinosaur regeneration. And it makes Biosyn feel like more of a threat and similar to how they were in the books. They’re grabbing at any straws they can with their technology to put themselves ahead and make money, dinosaurs are only one aspect/project of the company. As dumb as this movie was at times, it had underlaying aspects that made it fell almost as smart, realistic, and critical of corporate corruption as the vibes the books had
Filmento made a good point with the film trying to oversaturate us with "the final goodbye" for the legacy characters. As a Sam Neill and Laura Dern fan, I wouldn't really consider the either of the roles to be their signature characters, like Harrison Ford with Han Solo. And as for Jeff Goldblum, every role is a signature performance, so that was just one of many.
A small chunk of the problems with this film could have been resolved by making some of the strangers the main cast meet into old friends, or family members. Also, keep the film focused.
The director: The Giga is like the joker of the JP franchise The Giga: *was literally minding his own business and did less damage than the Indominus and Indoraptor*
How did you not attack the intro to the pilot? "Like oh I live and work in this shady world but now that I saw you hanging from a balcony for a couple seconds I'm going to completely stop my life and risk everything to help you. It's stupid, sorry.
For me the problem with this movie is the lack of focus on Dinosours tacking down the human world. That should be the main plot, society first encounter with dinosaurs on their hoods and cities, survival horror, and managing to reach at the point where "apple bad guy builds this santuarium"
I gotta say kudos to you guys. Finding a way to slip the ad in with the movie your reviewing was actually pretty damn clever. I normally completely ignore the ad, but I watched it this time. Not gonna get the wallet but I still gotta give praise for the effort. Good job.
I disagree with that all scenes must have drama, the original movie 1993 has plenty of explanatory scenes without drama and those are great and add context to the story. The problem with this movie is that the whole premise for the movie is rediculous and the writers aren't good enough to make up for it.
I watched this in theatres when it came out and one thing I remember is that city chase scene. It was cool and all but it was so long that even the music stopped for a bit for no reason, around a minute, then suddenly kicked back in. There wasn't some sort of lull in the chase scene where stopping the music made sense, it just sorta... stopped, then was like "oh wait sh*t everyone come back the chase is STILL going on" and kicked back in, also at a point that made no sense.
By the way, the reason for the focus on the locusts rather than the dinosaurs? The filmmakers did it purely because they wanted Ellie Sattler to be important to the story, since she’s a paleobotanist. That’s right, they decided to do it purely to give her character a reason to exists. Man, that makes two times that Laura Dern played one of the reasons for a film’s failure (the other being in The Last Jedi). I feel so bad for her, as she’s a great actress, yet she constantly ends up cast as one of the worst aspects of a film.
No, it's because it's taking the genetic power that has been released and acquired by other companies into different directions other than de-extinction, which is what Goldblum said would happen in the last movie. It's a cautionary tale about genetic power in the hands of corporations, that's what Jurassic Park is about.
@@richardblazer8070 It’s just that that could’ve also been done with the dinosaurs, which is what people came to see, not locusts. But because we have to have a reason for Ellie Sattler to be here, locusts it is.
@@ldragon2515 Colin Trevorrow has said that he wanted the escaped dinosaurs to behave realistically, staying away from people for the most part and encounters being few and far between. A couple dozen large animals can't start a cataclysmic catastrophe. Most would be found and relocated, which is what happens in the film. He also wanted to present a new angle of genetic engineering, because realistically, the genetic technology on display in the Jurassic Park movies is incredibly advanced, having it not only pertain to dinosaurs, but also medicine, agriculture, and other fields of science makes a ton of sense in-universe.
Everytime a great original action movie is released, people won't watch because of the irrational concern/fear of the unknown and talk shit about it because of the same "flaws" that their favorite franchises have. Simple as that.
I was so excited to see this movie expecting a plot line related to humanity trying to co exiat with dinosaurs. Even though I disliked the idea of using a media dump at the start to establish this, I was still happy as it was pretty much what I wanted. But when they drove the plot into some flying bugs eating crops, I was disappointed.
This movie, coming from a long time Jurassic Park fan, is so disappointing, for SO.....MANY....REASONS. The biggest issue is why the hell THIS is the story, and NOT what we were expecting and hoping for due to Fallen Kingdom's ending; Global Dinosaur infestation. This is what we wanted for the Franchise FINALE. Nothing about this feels like a satisfying FINALE.
@@spider-man500 Up above, you said, “Global Dinosaur infestation. This is what we wanted for the Franchise FINALE.” Did you mean something other than “take over the world”…?
@@AdmoreMethod Uh no. The story of the franchise finale would be dinosaurs taking of the world, the plot would be about stopping that. Franchise finale = Final film It's so obvious.
I haven’t seen the movie. No interest. But it absolutely cracks me up that in a movie about dinosaurs, they focused it on giant grasshoppers eating corn instead. How did anyone think that was a good idea?
Jurassic world dominion is a movie that should be looked at on how NOT TO WRAP UP A FRANCHISE. I love Jurassic park and watching this movie from beginning to end at the theatre left me upset. Rip my second favorite franchise.
I liked this movie but yeah this movie does have issues. Like the film didn't take full advantage of Micheal Crichton's vision of dinosaurs in the mainland, some of the dinosaurs and characters were underutilized, and the plot armor these characters have is ridiculous- like seriously how are they not covered in scars and bruises? That being said the extended cut does fix some of the choppy editing and the addition of the prologue did make the Giga more of a threat.
I also liked this movie. I know it has flaws, but I still enjoy it just like the rest of the franchise. Also the extended cut felt way better to watch.
All it is is that you enjoy the movie that's what really counts people that review movies cannot enjoy a movie to save their life they have ruined the experience for themselves for the love of movies how ironic
@@laurent1163 Y'know Filmento has positively reviewed movies he enjoys, right? This movie was a dumpster fire. If someone likes it, sure, it's no skin off my back, but it's a pale candle to Jurassic Parks roaring inferno.
i absolutely love how over the time i've been watching this channel the videos are seriously becoming funny as well. The it's about drive song and the muscular arms with the giant insect had me dead. The emo rock music with the girl had me rolling. Seriously keep up this amazing work
I mentally checked out of this film after less than half an hour and actually fell asleep at one point (very rare for me). I hate it with a passion to say the least.
My idol and role model Robert Muldoon said it the best in the first movie. “They should all be destroyed” His role in the movie was nothing compared to the book. In the book he not only survived, but made the bleeding heart Hammond allow him to keep a LAW rocket launcher. He also kept a secret second one and popped a raptor “like a rotten tomato” with one of them. IMO the Australian emu war and subsequent emu bounty is the model for how I’d have the entire world handle the Dino question. Maybe one or two species have merit to keep alive, but otherwise they wholesale don’t belong and should be put down. An m2 Bradley or other IFV is basically a purpose built vehicle for the job.
Hey, awesome video as always. Would also be great if you made one on Maverick. Like "How to harvest nostalgia" or "how to make a great finale" or something. Could also be a failure video if you think the movie sucks. Thanks.
There were only 2 moments I actually felt ‘scared/excitement’. 1 was the crocodile dino jumpscare with the torch 2 was when the clone girl was climbing the ladder and the dino tried eating her (but was blocked By the metal safety bars surrounding the clone girl) In the other movies there were so much more scary/exciting parts where characters had to hurry/hide. Now it felt like there was no moment to be worried about the characters ( except for my 2 point)
I still kind of hate Jurassic Park 3, but at least that one was actually about dinosaurs as the main threat. It’s sad how low the franchise has fallen.

I thought the movie was fine, not the best but not the worst. If I were to rank the 6 films, Dominion would probably be 4th. At the very least, I enjoyed seeing the cast of the original and the new trilogies working together, and I feel the film gave the series the finality it deserves.
Can You check out "The Core"
I wonder what you think about something that was planned as a B-Movie
Tbh the worst part is how this was the finale movie. This was the film that was supposed to wrap up the overarching plot, not just for the World trilogy, but for the original trilogy, too. I get it’s hard to pull off a satisfying conclusion, yet even as someone who likes the movie just because they like seeing the dinosaurs, it still left me empty.

I also have a problem with Giganotosaurus. Unlike the Indominus or the Indoraptor, he is not “evil”. There is no message of “genetic manipulation is bad”. There’s no catharsis when he is defeated. He was just a regular carnivore. In Jurassic world and fallen kingdom, there was a representation of “mutated monster vs natural animal” in the final fight. Here, there wasn’t
@@Radha-rani1254 But the problem is the giganotosaurus was hyped up to be the big bad villain of the movie, and it underdelivered, its nice that there was a more realistic portrayal of carnivores in real life, but they chose the wrong dinosaur to make act realistic, the giganotosaurus just comes off as pathetic at times in the movie because of how passive it is.
I was rooting for that “bad” Dino.
“mutated monster vs natural animal”
I mean...we did get that. The problem was, the "mutated monster" was represented by the hyper-aggressive rex and the therizinosaurus, and the "natural animal" was the giganotosaurus
@@Sarah_H that’s what I was thinking too.
Jurassic Park 3 did a similar thing spinosaurus. It behaved like Godzilla is running around chasing humans in killing everything in its path where as the T-Rex behaved more like an actual animal. It was highly aggressive and territorial but did not attack unless it was provoked or hungry.
I think one of the biggest problems with Jurassic World Dominion is the ending and its message. At the end of Jurassic World Dominion, we get another glimpse into the world, and we get to see how dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals have begun to coexist with modern-day animals, with the final shot of the film being a sinoceratops walking alongside an elephant herd. The message is pretty obvious here, being that dinosaurs and humanity, as well as the rest of earth, can coexist. I have two problems with this ending.
Firstly, there is no way that dinosaurs could simply coexist with modern ecosystems. They are literally invasive species, and would likely cause more harm to earth than good.
Secondly, doesn't this all go against Ian Malcom's philosophy in the first movie, about how dinosaurs cannot exist with humanity?
I would wager that 1/6th of the dinosaurs would successfully integrate, mostly herbivores probably, the others would die off or mutate into something stranger. Our oxygen levels aren't appropriate for such massive beasts, as the world in their time had massive amounts of oxygen, allowing things to sustain larger forms more economically. Dragonflies have existed basically forever, and were once the size of house cats. They've adapted, survived and even thrived in some spots.
Aside from what would make sense in real life, it doesn't make sense in the movie either
It starts with the news segment saying that the dinosaurs are wrecking havoc like 'oh no what we gonna do' and at the end of the movie for no apparent reason, they are just fine
the movie plot does nothing to explain how it suddenly got fixed
It makes no sense doesn't matter how you look at it
This is also the same message from the end of the previous movie!
They made the antagonists big bugs instead of FUCKING DINOSAURS! That's just lame!!!
While I dislike the movie I actually liked the coexist message. It is a nice message. Also, this is a science fiction movie, you shouldn't expect everything to be scientific. Ever heard of suspend your disbelief? You got to do that with movies, especially science fiction ones. Also Ian Malcolm's philosophy and theories couldn't just be wrong. But like I said I still don't like the movie anyway even if I suspend my disbelief.
I think the movie should have replaced the "giant locust" invasion problem with the herbivore dinosaurs. Make the herbivores be as much as a problem as deer. The difference being that the herbivores would consume tons of food every day and start jeopardizing people's food. It could be a nice premise to put a moral problem in the screen: us or them? Who is worthy of living?
Dinos would be hunted down easily. Except in this silly movie world xD
This, I agree with.
The locusts have practically no point in the movie.
@@NM-ev7pu Said from someone who never experienced the true horrors of the emu war.
@@rextraostwinmoon4303 10k shells spent in that war and the emus still won. It was a decisive victory that they will write down in the herds history.
Wild hogs do literally billions of dollars in crop damage, and even Texans with helicopter mounted miniguns can't control the population. This is incredibly plausible.
This movie is such a perfect example of the rising nostalgia problem, where basically all big filmmaking companies try to wring out as much money as possible by luring the audience in with this idea of nostalgia. And using nostalgia to enhance a story isn't inherently a bad thing-when executed nicely-but it's the fact that it's been so overdone with so many different films and productions that make it kind of tiring to watch. Also, it really sucks if you didn't grow up watching the movies from which the nostalgia is being drawn, because then it feels like you have to sit through those other movies just to feel some sense of excitement when some random throwaway callback is made. Also also, it's basically one big ad for those older movies. The point is nostalgia's great but so is GENUINELY ORIGINAL NEW IDEAS!
They keep making nostalgia bullshit cos we keep paying for it; who's the real problem?
But it's not only Jurassic World's fault, and there are better examples (AKA Marvel, Star Wars and some Dc as well)
So far the only movie where nostalgia happens and it works is spiderman no way home. The old characters are therw for nostalgia purpose but they also play a huge part for the story and for our mc.
hey, member jurassic park? member jeff goldblum? member?
What new idea? Characters and settings we've never heard of or seen are not new ideas.
I see why Steven Spielberg stepped away from this franchise after 2 movies. There’s only so much you can do and the first JP is still the best movie in the franchise
There’s actually a massive amount of potential things they could do, hell even Jurassic world was a good idea with the park being actually open. However everything that came after was just a constant tease of stuff we would rather see. Hell I’d rather have the dinosaurs be the main characters and just follow a legit rexy storyline and realistic power struggle with the giga, spino, other predators/herbs as well. But nope… cut the prologue and give us locusts!
@@mattrasp1615 I completely agree with the dinosaur-lead movie idea.
he came back for jw and jw2
We've seen how good visual storytelling can be, just look at primal, no dialog, yet it could tell a story
Steven Spielberg is not immune to ignorance. Trust me. Hell, Jurassic Park 3's script was ONLY an idea he had of a plane crashing into the island. The official pre-filming script they had after changing the first one, was tossed out. Although they said it was months before shooting, it ACTUALLY was tossed a few weeks before shooting. The whole film was shot without a script which was written as they went along and the actors had to quickly prepare for the changes after having been cast to play completely different characters who were all either changed or altered minus Alan and Sattler who were simply given new story plots (Sattler being turned into practically a cameo). Steven was completely fine with this. He also argued on the the first film set to change the facts about the dinos for more Hollywood Blockbuster style. The Paleontologist who worked on it has even told interviewers that Steven said he wanted to show them as animals and not Hollywood Monsters, but in the end all he wanted was Hollywood Monsters. What the World trilogy needed was more accuracy and a writer, not a writer/director. Or at least, Not Trevorrow. He actually did good with Jurassic World, but the sequels should have been both written and directed by better writers and directors, especially ones who were true Dinosaur lovers who knew the stars were not the humans, they are ALL supporting characters. Everyone wants to see dinosaurs. While we're at that, the moment special effects artist achieve a go they slack. In each film they should treat it like the last effects were not real enough and constantly work hard to out do themselves with the next one. Here, they clearly didn't. The puppets looked like foam toys and the dinosaurs did not look real, they were bad cgi from five years ago. They may claim they constantly try to make them more real, but it's all talk and no action. The moment it looks good to them they give in and don't think, "Now how can I make this look far more real" This is why the effects in the first film, although old, still hold out today and still look pretty real and their large scaled puppets look more real than ANYTHING Cgi or puppetry in the new Jurassic films. I mean the giant locusts were the most reallistic looking thing in this film! It does help that it's just slightly different from something that does still exist. But the Pyroraptor....so cool yet the feet were so fake and the feathers so Playstation 3. Wtf was up with those fake-looking feathers? When I saw this feathered Raptor, I was both Joyful and disappointed.
The 1993 original is still the best and it was good movie with likable characters and a great cast that actually told a good story about how playing God and messing with nature only creates chaos.
That’s because it was based on the book. ☺️👍🏼
The books are still better. The explored more chaos that the go movie WATERED down in favor of spectacle. For example when it was revealed the dinosaurs were breeding it was a much bigger deal as it showed the system to keep track of them had and from breeding had failed. In the movie it could have been cut out and nothing would have changed the plot.
@@AdmoreMethod And Michael Chricton was one of the writers as well
@@AdmoreMethod Yeah but the movie watered things down in favor of spectacle.
@@RazorRex The movie told a good story and stayed faithful to the book, from what I know.
At the same time , the franchise has gone against its own moral message , given the first two movies made it clear that some things are better left alone, dead as the ramifications could be catastrophic. Yet in the new movies now say that no we should pursue it anyway and adapt to the changing world , what ?
As much as I enjoy this franchise realistically it shouldn't have gotten sequels.
Agreed. They killed the horse, then proceeded to beat it. 🙄
I feel the lost world had more of a better reason to be made then the others, even if the book is a far better follow up sequel.
Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom still keeps the message that humans have no control over nature. It is just Dominios that drops the ball completely. Not only with the epilogue, but with the mind control/ jedi power hand thing, It barely worked with Owen who spent years studying Velociraptors, now everyone can raise a hand and tame a dinosaur.
@@GeorgeTheDinoGuy I do enjoy lost world even if the message is somewhat repeated.
@@martinmorles1 I feel it does a lot different with the idea of naturalists, anarcho capitalism and people not learning from their mistakes. Even if the dinosaur appearances are far less impactful.
To me, it felt like it had three plots that could have been their own film. The locust and legacy one, the stolen girl and the dna plot 2, the whole underground black market of dinosaurs that had an antagonist who was willing sick raptors on them 3. Oh and the pilot character could have easily been Malcolm’s daughter from Lost World undercover to help them.
I think that's the biggest problem the movie had, they tried to have three plots all into one, which caused them to collide with each other.

I once dated this girl who hated “dumb monster movies”. She didn’t want to see the original JP with me, I told her “it’s not like that.” She gave it a chance, she loved it. Not only did the film make her jump twice - it opened up interesting debate between us on the film’s subject, the element - or lack of - control, the struggle between man and nature.
This was a girl who hated monster movies.
Now we have these Jurassic World sequels…Yeah, they’re just “dumb monster movies”.
The worst thing for me was that the dinosaurs weren't anymore scary or frightening at all, because the plot put them aside so they where like a nonstop sidekick instead of the main problem. But to be honest the bugs had potential.
What about the Therizinosaurus scene?
The therizinosaurus and dimetrodon scenes were actually scary and nerve racking
In Starship Troopers maybe but not in *Jurassic World*
@@Frobilen the therizinosarus could've have more screen time and the dimetradons in my opinion could've been exchanged for another dino yes it was cool but I think a small little raptor species would've been better. Thier not bad scenes but at that point in the movie it just felt like it was thrown in to fill out some time than it being impactful like the raptor in the first jp
@@tiga8600 I'd honestly take anything, as long as it's not spinosaurus (also dimetrodon isn't a dinosaur, it's a synapsid and lived before dinosaurs and is a relative of us) and yeah the therizinosaurus should've had more screen time tbh, but I'm just glad that the general publis now knows about this bizzare herbivore, plus it ended the whole "herbivores are nice" trend
The biggest disappointment for me in this was the characterization of Lewis Dodgson.
In the books he was devious, uncompromising, ruthless, and even belligerent. His job at BioSyn was head of experimental R&D where all he did was steal other peoples research, reverse engineer it, and change it enough to legally patent it. He was only interested in the dinosaurs from InGen because he could fully exploit them as research animals through a legal loophole because they “had no rights.” He acted like a smooth talker to Dr. Sarah Harding to secretly get information out of her and then attempted to murder her by shoving her off their boat in the middle of a tropical sea storm. And when his team tried to steal eggs from the T-Rex family on Isla Sorna, it went wrong and he basically left his team to die while he tried to get off on his own.
I was waiting forever to see this evil man put to screen for more than a 2 min cameo in 1993. What do I get…a slightly angry Bill Gates. You FAILED Universal, you EPIC FAILED BIG TIME.
Dodgson....we got Dodgson here!!!!
I get the feeling angry Bill Gates would get some shit done. Movie Dodgson was... sad.
completely agree with you, finally a fan that sees how shallow and boring lewis dodgson is, i always kept thinking to myself they wasted a fan favourite character just to parody tim cook, and i wonder if colin trevorrow even understands jurassic park and the lore (making references doesn'tt count)
A while back, I noticed that Eli Mills from Fallen Kingdom felt like a better Dodgson than the actual Dodgson we got from Dominion, in some ways. For example, at least when Mills smothered Benjamin Lockwood to cover up his criminal acts, the ruthlessness of that act made me think of when Dodgson tried to murder Sarah Harding on the boat, in Crichton’s “The Lost World” JP novel.
This is why I boycott most Hollywood films. They bleed out the original IP until there is nothing left but a twisted husk. They imbody the spirit of Lewis Dodgson better than the villains they portray on screen
The ironic thing is the “boring” plot line is actually a terrifying real world issue where a handful of corporations control the world’s crops/food supply, genetically modified seeds, & the disappearance of small, independent farms.
That would be great. On something that IS NOT Jurassic Park. They could had made an entirely separated movie about the locusts and go full spy thriller as it is starts with regular corporate espionage that accidently walked into a world domination plan.
It's not terrifying. It's what already happened, and it's not bad at all. Pick ANY poor country and see how descentralized they are. Economies of scale are what allows you to spend part of your day watching videos on RUclips instead of working the fields from sunrise to nighfall every day.
And the control part, that also happened because certain governments systematically exterminented or curbed their competition. Rome salted Carthage so they couldn't grow crops. Lima, Perú had extensive canals and produced a lot of food until the Spanish destroyed it. The British forced the Irish to use their fields a certain way and that led to famine. What you fear is what already exists, so just accept it.
I actually found it much more interesting as a plot than the teenage tantrum stuff
Exactly 💯
throughout the whole movie i was expecting someone in the cast to die, other than the villain of course. I was hoping that the stakes would raise at some point and thought about who would go, how they would go, what would kill them, hoping something would happen to raise the stakes. Nobody died...nobody really even came close and at some point in the movie i was just thinking no one's gonna die and at the end...every single important character and semi important character was alive and i felt empty.
Well I'm glad it wasn't Barry casue we know how that trope goes with the black guy is either the first to die in horror movies/ thrillers or they always die no matter what
Yeah a lot of people call it "killing the red shirt characters" (Only killing villains or even side characters) and I hate it too. I don't give a damn about plot armor
Show balls I like to say, don't be afraid to kill a main character, but nope
Throughout the entire buildup to the movie waiting for it to come out, me and my friend were theorizing who would die, we eventually came to the conclusion that either Grant or Malcom were gonna die
But nope, every main character lives… remember in the lost world how they had the balls to kill off Eddie, everyone’s favorite character in the movie, or how in Jurassic park they killed off Muldoon and Ray Arnold
It's hard to care when every scene lacks tension when you know the characters are going to make it out fine after a while. They can survive plane crashes with no I'll effect while acting like superheroes the whole time. In JP and TLW the characters felt like real people in actual danger instead of just this watered down cash grab that was fed through some mass-appeal formula to just be shown to as many audiences as possible. The lack of blood or any brutality also ruins the film a bit too when you have dinosaurs attacking people.
If you go into a Movie thinking to yourself
,,There won't be any deaths lololol" no scene is gonna have any tension at all. Not even Jurassic Park wich is not saying it's bad as it truly was glorious but you cannot say that the movie had no tension, Therizinosaurus Scene/Santos chase/Dimetrodon cave/if you cared enough the final battle/The generator scene etc.

One thing I’ll give credit to this movie is that one scene where Claire is hiding from the herbivorous dinosaur (forgot what it’s called) actually being a threat for Claire because despite what many people might think; not all plant eating animals are safe and friendly like we’d think they are and can still be just as deadly as meat eaters.
It did add suspense as she was injured and cannot make much noise otherwise it will know exactly where she is, what I read is that is mostly blind.

I think that the locust plot line was the writers trying to mimic Michael Crichton's style of writing, but socio-economic thriller doesn't mesh well with the action movie that the writers actually wanted to write. This makes the legacy plot line seem more boring compared to the new characters' plot line as a result.
8:50 - That bugs life scene with that song kills me every time 🤣🤣🤣
Something I think they actually could have done with Allen is give him PTSD from his time on the two islands. They had a starting idea with the third movie.
If anything, the third movie already resolves his PTSD.
I think the movie would've been better if they took a different route with the premise. Make it so the dinosaurs have multiplied to the point where they were able to overrun smaller communities and neighborhoods, and Biosyn is a private defense corp or sorts that provides settlements with defenses (such as those biochip things that make the dinosaurs not attack each other), effectively making it so Biosyn controls the world. Then have the main characters unraveling a conspiracy of sorts.
Now, THAT’S a movie I would watch.
That's ridiculous
Agreed.
Biosyn was the competitive company in the the first movie. It'd be kinda wierd to have a genetics company turn into another company...

+Thanks Filmento for understanding this was indeed a compliment:))
There's also a problem with the scene placing. It just made it seem random. Ellie Sattler was at the cornfield then, teleports to where Allan Grant is... Like wha-? What happened to the locust kids? How did that character do that? How did that character get that? When does this scene take place along with the other scene?
9:56
This is due to a reoccurring statement in the dinosaur community that the dinosaurs don't act like animals, this is shown very well in the scene when the two carnivores fight for the deer, although there's a problem there that I'll gloss over for now.
In the mini-fight scene for the deer, the dinosaurs look at each other, and the fight isn't a fight to the death, they both just want to eat the carcass, and when the fight starts, there's only some face biting and roaring, and then it's over in seconds. This happens in the wild with similar niche carnivores, like lions and hyenas, the majority of the fight is just yelling and light blows, because neither wants to die nor lose the carcass, and the fights usually end in one running away and one taking the food. Whether this was intentionally researched by the filmmaking team or not is up for debate.
Now on to the timestamp's scene. The Giganotosaurus doesn't seem to care much for what the humans are doing, nor does it seem to want to eat them, it seems merely curious, like an adult big cat playing with a mouse. It's not jumping on the opportunity to eat Malcom because he's a tiny morsel, which brings up the deer thing again but I'll gloss over it because that problem has been mentioned many times by several people. It stands within 20 feet of the humans with clear vision but basically just stands there. The humans are not a threat to it, nor a valid food source, so the animal just stands there and goes "hmm I wonder what those little things are" without ever trying its best to eat them, simply because they're just little morsels really not worth its time. Again, whether the filmmakers designed this scene with realistic animal behavior is unknown, but it is likely that an attempt at this may have caused the docility of the large carnivores towards the humans.
In my opinion, the filmmakers did try to make some realistic behaviors, and did succeed, but even then there's still many problems in the film even if you entertain the idea of its logic. The main carnivores are still humanized, the new designs are extremely basic (better ones shown online by the artists were ***robbed*** of us), Trevarrow neither knows nor cares much for realism in the animals, and 70% of the entire movie is just fanservice. At best the movie is a tolerable fanservice project and at worst it's a disgrace to both science and fiction.
Again, I may not be the best at speaking about this franchise, but if nothing else, dear reader, watch The Unnatural History Channel's yt video on JP, it really is a must-watch for anyone even invested somewhat into this franchise.
Yeah, they really felt like animals than monsters. Poor Giga had to die for plot though, the dinosaur that showed the most realism.
You do know dinosaurs are made up construct of found bones, right? Part of the Big lie. More evidence they are fake than real...
Please sir this is a RUclips comment section I don't need to hear more of your inherited beliefs from way back in the bone wars I hear them enough from your type of person enough as it is
@@thesleepyspino3899 stay asleep then, your choice.
They chose the wrong dinosaur at the wrong time to act realistic. I can appreciate this attempt at realistic animal behaviour, but it feels like a straight up slap to the audience's face after the director hyped the giga up to be the biggest villain of the franchise, as far as calling it the joker of the franchise, and then it does nothing.
In a movie about dinosaurs existing in modern times the producers still manage to put in something even more unrealistic.
A functioning hyperloop.
Wait I got like two Results for this do you mean Biosyns transport module or something else?
@@bummbummist3607 I’d say like all of biosyn’s transportation options
I think the whole "GMO locust plotline" was an attempt to mimic the Original JP theme of humanity recklessly pursuing genetic engineering with little or no concern of the repercussions, but this plotline could have been streamlined into the far more interesting "genetic hybrid dinosaurs are roaming freely and wrecking ecosystems across the globe" which is the giant elephant in the room that the film refuses to address
My issue was not so much the locusts themselves playing a major part in the movie, but rather how the dinosaurs were not also posing a major imminent threat alongside the locusts. Even the Michael Crichton JP novel had giant dragonflies roaming Isla Nublar, for example.
*In my opinion, one way they could have fixed this is to have Lewis Dodgson set a plan in motion to start selling BioSyn’s dinosaurs on the black market.* That way, there could be the another ecological threat from the illegal worldwide dinosaur trading becoming amplified, which would need to be stopped. To make the T-Rex vs. Giga conflict relevant, Dodgson could even stage a fight between the two carnivores, to both generate extra money from the blood-sport and act as a sales pitch for BioSyn’s products dethroning InGen’s legacy.
If both the prehistoric locusts and illegal sale of dinosaurs were posing an imminent ecological threat, then it could have worked better. It would remind me of how, in the classic Resident Evil games, the protagonists needed to stop the Umbrella Corporation from creating zombies and lab-grown B.O.W.s like Tyrants, both of which could threaten the world in different ways and at different scales.
Or possibly make new hybrids ? Like make the ultimasaurus from the chaos effect toyline and you'd pretty much have the perfect final dino antagonist
Funny thing, the oversized raptor that died at the end of the movie? When Jeff Goldblum addressed it earlier in the movie, he said "It's a Not-a-saurus." But in that situation, you completely miss it, probably call it a Nautasaurus, and expect elaboration when they were done running away from it. But that elaboration never came.
It was indeed a "genetic hybrid dinosaur;" the shape of a raptor, the size of a T-Rex. But they delivered the plot point with such a hushed murmur, as it got drowned out by a second plot point. It *was* a big deal that the film tried making, but they failed to anticipate people catching that in a single sentence.
The plotline was there, it was very capable of being interesting, but here's the thing: stories don't have room for multiple high-stakes plots. People can barely follow one story, let alone two or more... especially when your movie goes hard on a nostalgic angle and winds up with an older audience (which is somewhat less perceptive.)
@@RdTrler
If you are talking about the large carnivore at the end of JW Dominion, which was killed by Rexy and the Therizinosaurus, that was not a hybrid. It was actually a real dinosaur from South America called the Giganotosaurus (syllables usually emphasized as Giga-noto-saurus).
The Giga is famous for being one of the only predatory dinosaurs to rival T-Rex in terms of size. Though, pop-culture has frequently exaggerated the Giga’s status, as contender for biggest land carnivore, given how that record is still currently held by a pair of exceptionally large T-Rex specimens (nicknamed “Sue” and “Scotty”).
That being said, JW Dominion originally had a prologue that would properly introduce the Giganotosaurus, only for it to be left out of the theatrical cut and relegated to the extended cut. But even then, one would need to overlook the liberty they took, showing the T-Rex and Giga living together at the same time and place.
Surprised that Chris Pratts characters hand is still there with the amount of times he did that trick with every dinosaur he came across
Exactly! With Blue it made sense because he raised her since she was young to understand hand signals. Unless Henry Wu installed “don’t attack when a person raises their hands” into their DNA somehow, a lot of these characters should be without hands or arms.
@@Minetic Short reminder that in JW 1, Mr. Armee Guy (forgot his name) ends up doing that hand gesture to a raptor, and... well... DOES lose his hand.
@@pallao3500 oh yeah that’s right! You see there should’ve been a lot of missing limbs in this movie.
Well if you guys still remember, in JW1, he did say "I'M the alpha".
Bahahahahahaha
If he was a Skywalker then maybe it would be a different story.
I think the problem with this movie goes way beyond the legacy plotline. The Chris pratt plotline was horrendous. In terms of stakes, there were no stakes in any plotline. How many people genuinely felt afraid or in danger for our hero when blue showed up? How many were afraid for our heroes at ANY moment in the movie?
We always felt safe because the movie didn't bother working hard to actually convince us the heroes were in danger. For example, we see Chris having a hard time trying to escape raptors on his motorcycle. Then we see Claire OUTRUN a raptor. In one scene the raptor is so close to her, in the next scene she had already made her way down a flight of stairs and the raptor is struggling to keep up.
So no matter what plotline you cut, the movie would have been bad either way because they wanted to make money off of nostalgia and just showing dinos on screen.
The amount of plot amour the main characters had is unbelievable. I could not even be scared for them cause they always survive without a scratch, maybe I'm still traumatized by GOT but damm let me be concerned about character's safety
Same, like at this point Owen is the only character I really like but even he didn't have any survival type scenes, instead two raptors chained to a wall helped him interrogate the villain like K-9 units lmfao
I was half tempted to just pull of my phone mid movie. It was so boring! No tension cause of course all the main characters have to survive and also be in top shape. Make some of them get their leg chopped off!
For me the thing that really killed all the tension was the minuscule ammount of death, literally only THREE PEOPLE die the entire movie, two of them are bad guys (who you always expect to end up dying gruesomelly) and the third is just the random scooter guy who gets chomped in the street. Even if the original jurassic park had just threee kills, each of them mattered because they were part of the team, innocent people just trying to survive.
Jurassic world was the bloodiest movie in the franchise with the most over the top death, and though fallen kingdom toned down the viollence it still knew how to make the creatures have presence. So there is no excuse for the finale of the whole series to have: characters that don't even get hurt, a villain dinosaur with no reason to be scared of and dinosaur scenes that feel so bland it's more like you're watching a Reality TV gauntlet of obstacles intead of situations with actual danger.
@@waterbox1385 True , I get they didn't want a lot of kills for Dominion to make the dinos look blood thirsty mindless killing machines. But they still could have done more with it.
Here is a scene they could have done at the Malta Black Market : As the Allosaurus and Carnotaurus escape we see someone shove an egg incubator on the ground shattering the eggs in the process. But unfortunately for the bystander the parents are nearby ( A JP3 Male and Female ). The two raptors escaped their cages and went after the culprit.
The worst thing about this movie for me were the countless stupid moments that didn't make any sense but were included cause looked cool, or helped move the plot forward. Like, why didn't anyone shoot the weaponized velociraptors? they had guns! Why did the pilot help them? She even took them there, in her own plane, which got destroyed. Why would she do that? Why did a cargo plane have an ejectable seat? And why wasn't that seat the pilot's seat? How tf can two people survive a plane crash with no injuries at all? Why were the locusts so flammable? Etc, etc. I can forgive one or two of these things in movies, but too many just push me out of the fiction and ruin the inmersion.
The Velociraptor baby wouldn't be able to survive at all in that cold region of the Earth, it would die of hypothermia. There's a reason Jurassic Park was placed in a tropical place.
The producers didn't even think of that too, there's no immersion.
Your 100% dead on it's like plot device over story telling to a point where the writers were throwing darts. Okay cargo plane ejection seat it is.
"Why do you have one passenger ejection chair? Why not all? Why not just for you?"
"Because they had an idea for a cool scene after we get inexplicably attacked and needed an ejection char. So it's because the script demands it."
"Thats silly, If the plane is attacked why can't we just dramatically jump out of the back with chutes?"
"James Bond and Mission Impossible already did that."
"Oh. Fair enough."
the not shooting the velociraptors pulled me off so badly in that scene. Completely ridiculous
Or when Claire taizers the evil smuggler lady dressed in white, and instead of, you know, collapsing to the floor due to the electric shock and getting temporarily paralyzed, she instead flies 5 feet across the room into the wall... Since when do electric shocks carry enough of a physical punch to yeet a person?
As a paleontologist I always like to see dinosaurs in screen, and with this movie I expected to see many dinosaurs around the world invading cities, so imagine how disappointed I was when I saw the locusts invasion

The locusts with the rock song was hillarious
The funny thing is despite all of your very valid writing points, I cared infinitely more about ab the locus plotline simply bc Ian, Ellie, and Alan had SO much charisma. It felt like those 3 were having fun being back together. I could not care less about the clone girl being kidnapped or Chris Pratt doing the hand thing for the billionth time to stop a dino. Everything that happened to those two and Bryce was just so predictable and often nonsensical that I just wanted to skip to the next scene with the og trilogy and try to forget that I just watched a raptor travel 70 mph through a city block on the tail of a motorcycle. When my favorite part of your Jurassic World movie is Alan not understanding how a barista in a joke that goes on far too long, that’s when you know 😂
The dinosaurs only have like 25%-30% screen-time in this movie, and keep in mind that this is a DINOSAUR MOVIE
The first Jurassic Park was similar. That's not a reason to knock the movie...
Just watching the trailer, with the original trio framed together, was painful for me.
To me, this movie stands out as the poorest Hollywood attempt to capitalize on nostalgia yet. Every layers to the original 'Jurassic Park' stripped away until it's just "dinosaurs" and "action". This is the franchise at its most brainless and dour.
If the previous movie broke the wall, this movie made a bridge and it's a third of the way. To where? Why, a 'Fast and Furious' crossover of course.
At that point I just wanted them eaten by raptors
If the last movie broke the wall this movie has moved so far past the wall it can't even see the wall. The wall is a dot to it
Yep. Saw the raptor chase scene and thought, "This doesn't look Sci-Fi anymore."
Dominion dares to mimic the scene where Ellie takes off her glasses in Jurassic Park. While in the first film she stares for the first time at a living Brachiosaurus with one of the best movie scores in the history of cinema, in this new movie she takes her glasses... and stares at an empty corn field.
Oh yeah, I would watch F&F and JW crossover definitely. I something dumb, that would totally work as fun popcorn movie...
The one thing that pissed me off is the "villanous" dinosaur, Giganotosaurus, where, for a bloodthirsty predator, is actually a chill dude who slept peacefully, spared the humans, and fights quickly, yet it's demonized for no reason and is brutally killed off near the end. The hell man?!
YES! They tried to do the final battle withe the indo's scene from the other movies but this was just a big dino who did nothing wrong
@@chonflis3834 yeah! With the idomidus Rex...well he was a dinosaur with DNA mixed with those of some hostile animals and he was bound to go Rouge, but the one here? Actually nice
It was just a large animal. It did nothing wrong. Also kind of stupid how Rexy just comes back to life out of absolutely nowhere.
I remember seeing the original in a theater way back in ‘93. They blasted the sound and little kids were cowering in fear. I actually felt sorry for them!
I liked your point about these films trying to be giganic, "the world is ending" scenarios. Consider films like Die Hard or the Dredd remake, where the stakes are much lower. It's not about saving the world, it's just about stopping some villains in one small location. Even the first Jurassic Park was like this. It was implied the dinosaurs could escape, but in that film, the action was confined to one relatively small island. The movies that have simpler plots with lower stakes are often the more memorable films.
3:37 I appreciate the use of "Three days grace" to nail the teenager angst
I definitely understand the argument against the legacy characters. But I actually like their banter scenes.
My favorite parts of the movie were when the original characters were talking. Honestly they could’ve been the only ones in the movie, maybe with the little girl too to keep the story.
@@sadchild9478 yea, sad that they got shafted. It was probably one of the few things I was interested in this movies hype
I personally think that having Grant be introduced at the beginning of the movie as a helping hand with Blu and her baby would have been a good way to up the emotional stakes. He could start off as being terrified of velociraptors, as he has good experience with em, but then grow to respect them. Then when the baby is snatched along with Clone Girl both Grant and Owen have good emotional reason to head to “Apple HQ”. That whole “Apple Company is the big bad because corporation are bad thing” is such a tired trope that it needs to be done better. Perhaps make it so that they are trying to right their wrongs without having to let everyone know they did a wrong. Maybe they need the girl to fix the locusts because they accidentally made them somehow and are trying to made things right. Overall, some fixes could have made this movie an amazing experience.
True. All the pieces were there to make it a great movie. They just dropped almost all of them.
Good review, although there's two problems.
9:37 - I think you missed the point of the scene with Giganotosaurus. Its meant to mirror the scene where Tyrannosaurus breaks out of its exhibit in first JP film. Its animal thats curious and is sizing up the characters who are invading its territory. Rarely do predatory animals go straight for the kill, they investigate and evaluate what is going on. In other words, its not a serial killer with blind lust for killing.
11:17 - you skipped/overlooked a certain scene in that final battle. When Giganotosaurus overpowers the T-Rex and stomp on her - some of main characters are underneath the T-Rex and are in danger of being crushed, so Ellie followed by Grant try to distract the Giga, who threats to retaliate. DeWanda's character fires a flare in the air to distract it so the everyone can get in the helicopter.
The Giga still looked retarded in that scene, doesn't matter if it was supposed to be a refference to a way better movie
The dumbest thing about the final fight is Rexy magically coming back to life because of nostalgic reasons. I think it'd be a fitting end to the original big bad boss if it went down only to the ultimate big bad boss after putting up a heck of a fight. The dinosaurs are not the protagonists, so it should be fine if the "villain" wins (even though it was just defending its territory), because the humans are the ones we should be rooting for. It's been established that neither of the other theropods can beat it one on one, so it makes the fight feel ridiculous.
If we really want to build up the Giga as the final boss, how about it eats Ian, who's already fulfilled his purpose, and in doing so, increase the stakes to make us feel anger towards it? Then seeing it ultimately come out on top would make the humans escaping feel more like a pyrrhic victory, as someone important was killed?
The thing I hate most about these movies is that they don't explain shit about the animals. They barely get names and that's it. For example the "bird dinosaur" is neither a bird nor a dinosaur, it's a pterosaur (a quetzalcoatlus) and pterosaurs are flying reptiles related to dinosaurs (while birds are actual living dinosaurs). The "reptile dinosaurs" are dimetrodons, synapsids from the permian period (and they went extinct right before the triassic, when the first dinosaurs appeared) and are much more closely related to mammals than any reptile.
With all the shitty action scenes they need to go through they barely acknowledge any of this stuff and it's infuriating.
Aside from stakes, setting and over all thematic and story issues I think another huge problem the movies faces is lack of build up. All the other jurassic park movies knew how to make the main dinosaur antagonists stand out and appear threatening. Either by showing how unstopable and brutal they are or setting up the emminent danger before delivering with violent action sequences.
But in jurrassic world dominion, because there are so many dinosaur attacks with so little build up, we just look at what's going on in the screen and go "neat so this dino can swim" or "wow this thing eats plants but it's also dangerous" and not "oh damn, how are they getting out of this one".
Just look at the T rex 2 (Giganotosaurus), the only thing it does is bully the OG rex for food and be big, it's not particularly scary, it's not violent or unique and the only bit of conflict that could have been gained from it got shoved away to a prologue that didn't even make it into the film. And with the secondary dinosaurs it's worse since all they do is show up to be a mild noisy inconvenience and never be seen again. The characters not even getting hurt just solidifies the issue.
Let's be real here for a moment the local police force and the military would have turned all the dinosaurs into swiss cheese, the idea of weaponizing dinosaurs is one of the most dumbest things I heard from a movie.
Very much this.
They'd be a great irregular unit. Send in the dinos first, tanks and troops behind. Throw them in cities and caves and such. They'd need to be impeccably trained and controlled though. Possibly a method for a slight shock being delivered via a "pilot" who observes via a camera what the dino does. I dunno, I'd find a use for them similar to what k9 units do.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow animals arent interchangable like how people dont ride zebras though they are physically similiar looking
So no, cant make dinos be like dogs 🤣
The Indominous Rex as a weapon made sense since it had camouflage but yeah using every other kind of a dinosaur as a weapon is stupid especially the endo raptor. It attacks things you point at with a laser…you mean things you could have just shot at with a gun if you attach it to said laser 🤦🏻♂️
@@TheGahta every animal understands the carrot and the stick approach. If it's a smarter creature, afford it more respect and it will be sent back tenfold. Ingratiation is the word of the day for the dinos.
The thing that really killed Dominion too is that they went and maked a movie for kids.
The action is tooo tamed to be a Jurassic Park movie, there's 1 scene were the villain literally just walked out casually whe she was in the middle of a shoot out.
She literally went like this
🧍♀️🚶♀️
Plus, most of the kills in the movie aren't even shown, besides that one guy on a bike that gets eaten by an Allosaurus there's no more visible deaths.
As someone who is a DIE hard fan of the series, i give JWD a solid 4/10
JP was the most kid friendly movie of the series, lol. Barely anyone died, (JWD had far more deaths) and the dinosaurs were actually threatening.
@@gojigiante bruh, u maadddddd high, JP franchise always showed the pure agony and pain that the Dino brought.
JP had the T-rex literally tear a guy to shredd while the guy was getting eaten alive.
It also had Ned, who was crying Out loud in pain cuz the Dilo poison his eyes, his shout and tears was terrifying, and at the end he got mauled in his car.
JP2 had literally a 6 or 7 year old girl that was eaten by compis, although i give u that they didn't show the scene, but it was heavily insinuated.
JP3 had a fucking Spino grabbing and sinking his huge ass teeth in a guy that was pleading for his life. Then he ended up crushed by the spino.
JWD deaths we're nothing special, nothing frightening and not exciting.
It was just like
Bam, there's that one guy that nobody knows that died.
@@notAlbertbtw Nah, JP had its moments. But the JW part of the franchise had the Indoraptor rip a dude’s arm off for fun, before eating him alive. It had the Indominus literally rip a guy apart while he was screaming in terror. And nah, ur trippin, JP2 didn’t have that, the girl survived at the end, it was confirmed.
The Indoraptor slaughtered an entire group of people in a elevator, Compies ate a woman alive, The Raptor squad tore squads of ACU apart.
Ironically, I heard it's too scary for some kids because of the giant locusts.
@@notAlbertbtw JP3 also snapped a guys neck 11 year old me was traumatised
I'd argue the original Chris Pratt plotline is bad too. It's gone stale and some of its tropes are already old. Meanwhile, the Legacy plotline is indeed latching on like a tumor for fan service, but it doesn't feel important enough to be included.
Yes its also bad, theres nothing of interesting going arround doesnt matter how many different dinos they throw in.
This was the worst movie ive seen this year.
@@kronozord8346 Even if someone were to argue that the Criss Pratt plot is good, the only reason it exists is to service the Legacy plot. "These locusts we made grew out of our control. We need to capture the clone girl and get her DNA because she could show us how to somehow fix the bug problem.
When you turn the sound down it actually looks like a decent movie with plenty of characters and a lot going on.
I don't understand; they released an epic short called 'Battle at Big Rock', which involved ordinary families left to fend for themselves against increasing apex predator encroachment and it was amazing! I thought we were getting that!
I feel if a legacy character bit the dust, either Allen protecting Ellie/Maisie from the dimetrodons or Ian distracting the giga, it would have given the legacy part of the story some necessary weight. Because as much as I love them, they weren't needed to tell this movie.
I think Ian makes more sense, as it builds up the Giga as the big boss of the movie. He'd already served his purpose in the second movie, and in this one. It also ups the stakes, as while the Dimetrodons are quite slow and awkward, the Giganotosaurus is fast, with long arms and a longer skull. I think that by itself would be slightly better, even if the rest of the film is the same.
This movie made Jurassic Park 3 look like a masterpiece
Even that movie has stakes and character deaths
@@krishnarjunar2724 💯💯
Nah, even if JWD didn’t exist JP3 would still be a masterpiece.
Always loved JP III. Its a movie that just screams "childhood adventures in the woods."
Because it always was
I literally just finished this yesterday and let me tell you: this is legit the first time I was comfortable with playing my phone while watching a movie because it was just THAT boring.
Yeah I was thinking about grabbing my phone the whole time while watching this sadly
I was watching this with my dad in cinema and the only thing stopping me from walking out was my dad who liked the movie
I cannot understand how anyone can make a movie with dinosaurs in it and have it be crap.
Never did I think that the plot of a Jurassic movie would be: A scientist cloning herself and giving birth to her child asexually and giant locusts…. And not dinosaurs?
JW2's ending was the most intellectually insulting thing I've seen in my life. And JW3 managed to top that masterfully.
seriously, f%#k Colin Trevorrow for ruining this franchise.
I remember watching Fallen Kingdom and after the scene where Maisie lets go of the dinosaurs simply because "they're alive like me", a lady sitting right behind me whisper to her friend "aw come on, what a dumbass". Normally i'm kinda annoyed by audiences whisper in a theater but i can't help but think that Maisie was such a dumbass. A ridiculous choice that absolutely blows my mind
Yep, literally open the main door first and let the gas vent, no moral dilemma needed.

This movie is the prime example of a film made to satisfy studio executives and nobody else.
It is a film made without passion.
Without a vision.
Without heart.
It’s the Lion King 2019 Remake Of 2022.
💯💯💯💯. It’s a product made to make money. Plain and simple
Will you kindly request him for making a video on RRR 🔥 he'll can't ignored it if he got to many requests on this particular topic ❤

Sooooo true.
After 2015 ended, that was it. Cinema died.
@@bruhson9983 Wow… you CommercialBots are EVERYWHERE - all over this channel. I didn’t know that was a thing until I saw all of you here.
i loved it when christory pratt looks at the camera and said "what are we, some kind of dominion team?"
I liked it when Ellie Sattler said, "It's dommin' time!" and then she dommed all over everyone.
You're right, the biggest problem in the movie is that how they set the legacy casts' plot/story line. It just feels like a big waste. I wished they didn't have to brought them into this movie and it'll be working fine, not great but fine with the clone girl's plot only and even though they messed up that plot too.
I’m weird because I actually kinda liked the locust plotline. It felt very much out of the books where a separate and more grounded ecological disaster that stems from similar technologies, biological manipulation, and ethical disregard for corporate benefit ties into the main plot and reveals the bigger picture going on with dinosaur regeneration. And it makes Biosyn feel like more of a threat and similar to how they were in the books. They’re grabbing at any straws they can with their technology to put themselves ahead and make money, dinosaurs are only one aspect/project of the company. As dumb as this movie was at times, it had underlaying aspects that made it fell almost as smart, realistic, and critical of corporate corruption as the vibes the books had
Filmento made a good point with the film trying to oversaturate us with "the final goodbye" for the legacy characters. As a Sam Neill and Laura Dern fan, I wouldn't really consider the either of the roles to be their signature characters, like Harrison Ford with Han Solo. And as for Jeff Goldblum, every role is a signature performance, so that was just one of many.
A small chunk of the problems with this film could have been resolved by making some of the strangers the main cast meet into old friends, or family members.
Also, keep the film focused.
The funniest part is the villian looks exactly like Tim Cook and the villian headquarter is basically Apple Park renamed
The director: The Giga is like the joker of the JP franchise
The Giga: *was literally minding his own business and did less damage than the Indominus and Indoraptor*
It was just a animal doing its thing.
How did you not attack the intro to the pilot? "Like oh I live and work in this shady world but now that I saw you hanging from a balcony for a couple seconds I'm going to completely stop my life and risk everything to help you. It's stupid, sorry.
For me the problem with this movie is the lack of focus on Dinosours tacking down the human world. That should be the main plot, society first encounter with dinosaurs on their hoods and cities, survival horror, and managing to reach at the point where "apple bad guy builds this santuarium"
How many failures does it take to finally come across perfection? A whole bunch.
The world may never know
I gotta say kudos to you guys. Finding a way to slip the ad in with the movie your reviewing was actually pretty damn clever. I normally completely ignore the ad, but I watched it this time. Not gonna get the wallet but I still gotta give praise for the effort. Good job.
NO.
I disagree with that all scenes must have drama, the original movie 1993 has plenty of explanatory scenes without drama and those are great and add context to the story. The problem with this movie is that the whole premise for the movie is rediculous and the writers aren't good enough to make up for it.
I watched this in theatres when it came out and one thing I remember is that city chase scene. It was cool and all but it was so long that even the music stopped for a bit for no reason, around a minute, then suddenly kicked back in. There wasn't some sort of lull in the chase scene where stopping the music made sense, it just sorta... stopped, then was like "oh wait sh*t everyone come back the chase is STILL going on" and kicked back in, also at a point that made no sense.
By the way, the reason for the focus on the locusts rather than the dinosaurs? The filmmakers did it purely because they wanted Ellie Sattler to be important to the story, since she’s a paleobotanist. That’s right, they decided to do it purely to give her character a reason to exists.
Man, that makes two times that Laura Dern played one of the reasons for a film’s failure (the other being in The Last Jedi). I feel so bad for her, as she’s a great actress, yet she constantly ends up cast as one of the worst aspects of a film.
So true. 😕
No, it's because it's taking the genetic power that has been released and acquired by other companies into different directions other than de-extinction, which is what Goldblum said would happen in the last movie. It's a cautionary tale about genetic power in the hands of corporations, that's what Jurassic Park is about.
@@richardblazer8070 It’s just that that could’ve also been done with the dinosaurs, which is what people came to see, not locusts.
But because we have to have a reason for Ellie Sattler to be here, locusts it is.
@@ldragon2515 Colin Trevorrow has said that he wanted the escaped dinosaurs to behave realistically, staying away from people for the most part and encounters being few and far between. A couple dozen large animals can't start a cataclysmic catastrophe. Most would be found and relocated, which is what happens in the film. He also wanted to present a new angle of genetic engineering, because realistically, the genetic technology on display in the Jurassic Park movies is incredibly advanced, having it not only pertain to dinosaurs, but also medicine, agriculture, and other fields of science makes a ton of sense in-universe.
@@richardblazer8070 Then why did he have to pick locusts as the genetically modified creatures? Why not something more creative?
We have to give appreciation to the sound mixing/editing because, it's just funny, enjoyable, and it proves a point.
When are we going to have great action/adventure movies again? 🧐Especially the ones where you’re glued to the screen and on edge.
Once Hollywood starts getting passionate about making good movies and telling a good story
Everytime a great original action movie is released, people won't watch because of the irrational concern/fear of the unknown and talk shit about it because of the same "flaws" that their favorite franchises have. Simple as that.
@@RodrickMarsMoon 💯💯💯. People are used to the sam old, mediocre thing
when hollywood starts caring about money again, instead of THE MESSAGE.
@@origami83 indeed. And not pandering to NOSTALGIA
I was so excited to see this movie expecting a plot line related to humanity trying to co exiat with dinosaurs. Even though I disliked the idea of using a media dump at the start to establish this, I was still happy as it was pretty much what I wanted. But when they drove the plot into some flying bugs eating crops, I was disappointed.
bro the CGI in this movie looks absolutely awful. every single scene. every. single. one. looks fake and bland. holy shit.
This movie, coming from a long time Jurassic Park fan, is so disappointing, for SO.....MANY....REASONS.
The biggest issue is why the hell THIS is the story, and NOT what we were expecting and hoping for due to Fallen Kingdom's ending; Global Dinosaur infestation.
This is what we wanted for the Franchise FINALE.
Nothing about this feels like a satisfying FINALE.
Like Planet of the Apes - in the end, they took over the earth. ☺️👍🏼
@@AdmoreMethod No. The ending won't be like that.
@@spider-man500 Up above, you said, “Global Dinosaur infestation. This is what we wanted for the Franchise FINALE.” Did you mean something other than “take over the world”…?
Fr even the ads for the olympics got more dinosaur interacting with the real world screen time then this below mid movie, THE OLYMPICS? 😳💀
@@AdmoreMethod Uh no. The story of the franchise finale would be dinosaurs taking of the world, the plot would be about stopping that.
Franchise finale = Final film
It's so obvious.
I haven’t seen the movie. No interest. But it absolutely cracks me up that in a movie about dinosaurs, they focused it on giant grasshoppers eating corn instead.
How did anyone think that was a good idea?
Those were Locust, not grasshoppers, but I have a feeling that you’re gonna put that you know. So I’m leave this comment anyways.
Jurassic world dominion is a movie that should be looked at on how NOT TO WRAP UP A FRANCHISE. I love Jurassic park and watching this movie from beginning to end at the theatre left me upset. Rip my second favorite franchise.
tfw you put the biggest land predator on your movie but you make it fail horribly at killing a clumsy group of people right in front of it
You had my thumbs up and my respect at the Never banging part with Grant and Ellie, butt he rest of the video was flawless as always ;)
I liked this movie but yeah this movie does have issues. Like the film didn't take full advantage of Micheal Crichton's vision of dinosaurs in the mainland, some of the dinosaurs and characters were underutilized, and the plot armor these characters have is ridiculous- like seriously how are they not covered in scars and bruises? That being said the extended cut does fix some of the choppy editing and the addition of the prologue did make the Giga more of a threat.
I also liked this movie. I know it has flaws, but I still enjoy it just like the rest of the franchise. Also the extended cut felt way better to watch.
All it is is that you enjoy the movie that's what really counts people that review movies cannot enjoy a movie to save their life they have ruined the experience for themselves for the love of movies how ironic
@@laurent1163 Y'know Filmento has positively reviewed movies he enjoys, right? This movie was a dumpster fire. If someone likes it, sure, it's no skin off my back, but it's a pale candle to Jurassic Parks roaring inferno.
i absolutely love how over the time i've been watching this channel the videos are seriously becoming funny as well. The it's about drive song and the muscular arms with the giant insect had me dead. The emo rock music with the girl had me rolling. Seriously keep up this amazing work
I mentally checked out of this film after less than half an hour and actually fell asleep at one point (very rare for me).
I hate it with a passion to say the least.
My idol and role model Robert Muldoon said it the best in the first movie.
“They should all be destroyed”
His role in the movie was nothing compared to the book.
In the book he not only survived, but made the bleeding heart Hammond allow him to keep a LAW rocket launcher.
He also kept a secret second one and popped a raptor “like a rotten tomato” with one of them.
IMO the Australian emu war and subsequent emu bounty is the model for how I’d have the entire world handle the Dino question.
Maybe one or two species have merit to keep alive, but otherwise they wholesale don’t belong and should be put down.
An m2 Bradley or other IFV is basically a purpose built vehicle for the job.
Hey, awesome video as always. Would also be great if you made one on Maverick. Like "How to harvest nostalgia" or "how to make a great finale" or something. Could also be a failure video if you think the movie sucks. Thanks.
I was honestly so pumped from this movie, I don't expect much from these movies, just fun dino action. THis movie couldn't even get that right.
Angry Rantman 😂 00:20
There were only 2 moments I actually felt ‘scared/excitement’.
1 was the crocodile dino jumpscare with the torch
2 was when the clone girl was climbing the ladder and the dino tried eating her (but was blocked By the metal safety bars surrounding the clone girl)
In the other movies there were so much more scary/exciting parts where characters had to hurry/hide. Now it felt like there was no moment to be worried about the characters ( except for my 2 point)

Pffft! They had no idea what was coming.
I would gladly watch Jurassic Park 3 twice, back to back then watch this dumpster fire
I still kind of hate Jurassic Park 3, but at least that one was actually about dinosaurs as the main threat. It’s sad how low the franchise has fallen.
