Just want to say that Universal has actually dropped the copyright claim after I disputed it, so we good!!! What did you guys think of the movie?
it was great
i liked it
Hi
Great movie
It was really cool I watched it the day it came out in America
I loved the part when Rexy said "it's Rexin' time", and absolutely Rexed all over the giga
It made one rexillion dollars at the box office.
Stop it
I loved when giga said its gigin time and then gigged all over rexin
@@Dracovenatrix NO
Rex does not understand
I feel so sorry for the poor Giga.
If it was an actor, I imagine it would just depressivley walk home after the final day of filming, hopelessly broken by the fact it was so mistreated after finally making it's way into a Jurassic movie, only for the Spino to show up and say "I told you so."
@Saturn King of the monsters What makes it even weirder is that the Theri was involved, like... did Rexy _know_ that pushing the Giga onto the Theri's claws would kill it? And furthermore, considering the Theri is blind, did it even realize what was happening? Or was it just standing there thinking "Why are my arms suddenly so heavy?"
@Saturn King of the monsters yup.
At least Giga gets better treatment in video games like Warpath: Jurassic Park, Ark, etc.
Spino at least matters to the movie . They did giga the hyped dinosaur no importance at all . If you remove giganotosaurse , the movie would play the same way . They should have had giganotosaurs spotlight instead of bugs and make a better plot like the fans wanted THE DINOSAUR AND HUMAN PLOT . It was built in even trailers but forgotten . Like the ending was literally made no sense because of how much they had focus on nostalgia baiting fans
The giga was the victim
Part of what made Jurassic Park so great was the simplicity. No flashing lights, bright colours, or explosions. It relied on suspense, dialogue, characters, and again, simplicity. All the JW movies are like Marvel superhero movies. Maybe that’s the formula that’s worked for a long time now, but I really miss the old way that movies were made.
Me too
You are one of the rare fans that understand this, I am glad there are still People like you
okay to be fair they did kind of do that in the first jurassic world movie, like with the introduction to the Indominus and with the raptor interactions
Completely agree
Also the fact that characters WERE injured. We don’t have to always kill off a character to have actions that have consequences and dangers. The first movie was a story of survival in the danger. The later ones were just adventure movies with no real threat- if any it was at the end and didn’t have any big consequences.
Dude the concept art at 28:02 just sends CHILLS down my spine, even though the real therizinosaurus used it’s claws to help it feed.
it still could use them to easily take out smaller creatures, probably not larger ones though. So it would still be a potential danger for a human to be around one.
Therizinosaurus remains are very little, We don't know what Therizinosaurus has used its claws for but it is correct, It would have probably use it to level food down and maybe even cut branches down if its thin enough but it is also not crazy to speculate to say it uses it as defensive weapons against threats.
I love how Beaver was just ranting about the character development of Alan Grant for 5 minutes straight.
Me too. I felt so hyped about the movie I read The second novel😂
Stop being sis
I would too
I do completely agree with your points on building suspense.
Take the campsite scene from the Lost World. It is in the middle of the night. We hear the impact tremors, see the puddles ripple, Sarah desperately tries to hide any loose food items and turns off the lantern, we see the silhouette of the Buck, we see Ian's reaction to it, then we finally see the Tyrannosaur's head as it slowly enters the tent and smells the jacket, and Sarah and Kelly have to be still and silent. Then the payoff, Carter wakes up and screams, waking everyone else up and provoking the Tyrannosaurs to attack. It is a masterpiece in building suspense.
And in Dominion the Pyroraptor just walks up like a kid looking for their parent in a grocery store.
The way the Pyroraptor just appears from behind the rock is so funny. Like what was it doing in between the plane crashing and Chris Pratt and Kayla having their conversation. Had it not spawned in yet? Was it a heavy sleeper? Was it waiting for the director to yell “ACTION!”?
As much as people hate on The Lost World, that sequence is a masterpiece, the raptors in the tall grass too, and the buildup to the trailer attack as well.
@@Weirdanimalboy it was behind the rock or somewhere further. The pyro isn’t gonna dash over the moment it hears a crash. It moves slowly as it wants to investigate what caused that sound
@@AtrociCollector it moves slowly then it dives into the water and swims under ice super fast.
@@3bladeninja21 that’s cuz it was checking out the humans, then decided to attack
I remember walking out of the cinema after watching it and feeling like I hadn't even watched a Jurassic movie but I swear no one felt the same way, so I'm glad to see someone go over it and talk about it's problems and benefits lol
That is because the atmosphere of the movie is far from the first two movies.
@@DonatoColangeloOr maybe because there isn't as much dinosaur as there should be
@@selarom2018I don't agree. There are many species shown. Too many, actually. This is even worse than saying the movie does not seem to be a Jurassic. You've put tons of species and the movie still sucks...
@@DonatoColangelo Yeah, that's what it is; there isn't enough GOOD dinosaur (pun unintended). Thank you
@@selarom2018 JW 3 introduces character after character, does not let them develop naturally and paces thru the whole plot. They try to get canon moments the whole time but its too much.
Mad respect for your review. I had finally time to watch it, and honestly, while I do enjoy most of your content, this was by far the most mature, funny and serious at the same time, video you've ever made. I would love to watch more of your reviews like this. Hats off, this is great. :) I'm proud I'm your fan.
my biggest problem with the movie besides the pacing being all over the place was the fact that we didn't get to see much of the dinosaurs living and interacting with normal everyday people. I was hoping after seeing the end of fallen kingdom and the battle at big rock short, that we would get to see people really struggling to live with dinosaurs. Blue is running off into the wilderness at the end of fallen kingdom and seemed very confused at the sight of a nearby town which i would have loved to see her interact with in some way. then she's just near owens farm in dominion... ok
there are extra shots of those
@@shelbyjustiss1816 yeah but it should've been the point of the movie and we should have seen more.
@@DividedPixels404 exactly
@@shelbyjustiss1816 lol that’s it 💀
The Dinos seriously got 7 MINUTES OF SCREEN TIME
Im still so mad that they didnt bring back spinosaurus for this movie.
Same. I was expecting it to show up in the caves where you had those dinosaurs with the big fins on their back but nope. Then i realized that the spinosaurus is too big to be in those caves but still c'mon i wanted to see it one last time
I was waiting for it to come and save the trex at the end
Well the Spino can't just teleport from Mantah Corp. Island to the biosyn sanctuary, can it?
Bet 80 bucks fans gonna want giga to return in the movies after a couple of years.
it was gonna be in dominion, BUT NOOOOO dilo and theri was Soooooo important than spino!
I always wanted a scene where Alan experienced some sort of PTSD with a raptor, would've been a good scene imo
Wasn´t there a scene like that in jurassic park 3? The plane dream?
@@MatthiasDrinksH20I meant more like a different hallucination, where maybe hes at a coffee shop and he sees like a raptors tail around a corner, or sees a raptor shaped silhouette run in the street
@@garfuffle8373 Oh, yeah, that could have been cool.
@@garfuffle8373he hears a person cough and thinks it’s a raptor 😂
as a jurassic fan as well i agree completely. Me and a friend I went and watched it with, once the credits rolled we looked at each other like "really? thats it? this is the finale?"
Me and my friend did the same
That was my reaction after watching it as well . I was completely speechless. Like about 20 years old franchise getting a dog water ending? Jesus
I walked home with a huge frustration headache. So dissatisfied.
It’s not the end the next movie is probably called Jurassic world:extinction
@@guywith37subs Its not done yet
I love how they just copy pasted the final fight from Jurassic World and were like
“Yeah, that’s a great idea, nobody will notice!”
Except this time, the enemy dino wasn't even evil.
@@quaronncz464 and is also not a hybrid
@@quaronncz464 Giga is a antagonist but not a villain that’s my thoughts summed up pretty much
Except it's much worse. The Giganotosaurus was just behaving like a normal dinosaur, it wasn't going on a destructive rampage like the Indominus Rex. It did not deserve such a brutal death.
The fight is just there for reasons , not even with the YT prologue in mind does it make sense. The T Rex and the Giganotosaurus are entirely different dinosaurs, and there is no "vindication" for the T Rex either since it needed the Therizinosaurus assist.
@@TheJotaroKujo exactly. Rexy always needs help lmao
Should’ve been a post credit scene where spinosaurus obtains the amber-finity gauntlet and growls in subtitles of your choice saying:
“Fine, I’ll do it myself”
"Giganotosaurus, the biggest carnivore the world has ever seen" Mosasaurus, Indominous Rex, Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus: Excuse me what the actual f-
pretty sure he said terrestrial carnivore did he not? the spino as well as the indom arent normally that big, the spino is usually only depicted as "bigger" then the giga only because of its sail adding extra height. also the giganotosaurus is bigger then the carch.
The reason the first film is so good to this day is the strength of the story and the dialogue, something they seem to have forgotten since.
Also it had a love for paleontology
The second one was alright as well.
Idk i liked the third also, it felt really like horror as the dinosaurs werent in the cages like in the first movie
Script writers have got shitty 😢
The part where the Raptors hunt the group in the abandoned buildings has some nice suspense.@@Chilly_1
i find it funny how the concept art shows so many ideas that would have been perfect and made a satisfying final movie, but it was traded for fan service
but no spino, and atrociraptors instead of the original trilogy velociraptors.
Not really fan service, since none of these are asked or liked by the fans. It's pure laziness.
@@ruinthuessia1078 fan service doesn't necessarily mean the fans asked for it. Fan Service can easily just be a thing specifically meant to stir feelings of nostalgia, the Dimetrodon sail scene is the purest example of this
I wouldn't call it fanservice, more like memberberries.
@dreymak4071 Even memberberries are still a form of fanservice as you're expecting fans to remember and have a positive reaction to it
I'm a year late replying to your video, but I've been a big dinosaur nerd and Jurassic Park fan since I was a kid. I'm in my 30s now, and I remember being hyped for this movie. I was elated to see the main 3 back together! I wanted to see Alan interact with Blue or any other raptor (although knowing he could have interacted with the pyro would have been a hundred times better.)
But what we got was a mess. I went to this movie decked out in Jurassic Park merch, a shirt, a cross-body bag with "InGen" on it, buttons from the park 'welcome tin,' etc.
I remember sitting in the theater, and eventually, I realized the cast had more plot armor than some of the characters from Game of Thrones. I stopped worrying about them.
After it was over and I left, I felt like something was missing, but I couldn't figure out what. I remember telling people, 'It was okay.' It was worth a watch, but in the end, it wasn't mind-blowing. I didn't HATE the film. I still don't. But it's not my favorite either.
It's a popcorn movie.
Your review is spot on. You cover many things I couldn't explain, like why Alan's story never felt like it was wrapped up.
I find myself rewatching this entire video over and over again, the editing makes this a better dominion movie 💀
Same bruh 💀
I thought I was the only one, the only video I've been watching over and over again
“You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t ask if you should.”
Pretty much sums up the entire Jurassic franchise.
underrated comment
saddest part is that quote IS FROM jurassic park
After The Lost World, yes
Edit: I do like JP 3, it’s just my favorites are 1 & 2
@@LucaPalomo909 I won't fight you but you're being generous.
@@Cartoonicus Thank you
It’s so weird that all these movies with characters questioning their origins or parentage have the characters suddenly not have to deal with that. Rey doesn’t have to come to terms with her parents abandoning her, her parents actually loved her and wanted to protect her. Maisie doesn’t have to come to terms with being a clone of a dead girl that set dinosaurs loose on the world, she’s actually born from a virgin mary that loved her and also she never mentions any turmoil about releasing the dinosaurs as a child.
Right? She releases all the dinos and kills so many people because of that but she's pissy about not being able to go and watch them possibly kill other people INCLUDING her
Shhhhh, characters facing consequences for their actions and questioning their origins is too deep and intelligent. Less depth, more action!
24:06 but someone did die in the motorcycle scene in Malta you see the allosaurus eats scooter guy
Saddest death ever 😔
That was a random extra, man. You're point is kinda invalid.
@@wyattgoralski818 It wasn't a random extra, it was the clown who paid to win a contest
@@Hakudoshiii Well yes, in a literal sense that is what they are. But in the context of the movie, they're just some random person. That's what I meant.
Every time I rewatch the Jurassic Park/world movies I always get the feeling that something was missing/could've gone better, and this review does a great job of pointing those things out.
I enjoyed Dominion quite a bit, inspite of it's many flaws.
But I might enjoy this video even more, because it's *flawless* haha the editing was so good, this was an hour well-spent
Same, the only problem i had with it, it had multiple plots. Nonetheless, I liked it!
The ending was terrible
Evo! How you going! I enjoyed the movie too, I’d give it a 7.8 out of 10, but yeah there was DEFINITELY flaws
Oh hi Evo !
Honestly, gotta agree with Evo. I enjoyed this movie. I really did, but after watching it and hearing of many of the concepts and ideas that never made it to film, I feel exactly what Beaver is saying. It feels like I’ve been cheated from a better movie- like I do still enjoy it, but I see how it could have been so much better. I still do love that many of the dinosaurs were presented as animals, however!
the giga was just a glorified cameo of "hey remember that one prologue?"
Sadly
In the extended version, it includes the prologe short film, a standoff between Owen and Rainn Delcord over which of them claims the prasaurolophus, a genral store scene, and more.
Also in the extended verstion, theres a ovirapter scene which is really cool.
The yells were founded... how were they not?... Not only were carnivorous dinosaurs after them, the kid JUST saw what was making the noises, butt there were added HORRIFYing factors. With the kid there was also lava flow and those two were potentially trapped WITH a hungry carnivorous WITH lava flowing all around, IN AN AREA THEY THINK THEY CAN'T ESCAPE! The lady, she thought she was done with it and it just dawned on her that it was closing in on them where before she figured they would escape, the almost promise of death is a deciding factor for a shriek or two.
I guess his point was that they didn’t have to be that extra for the screams(but to be fair that kid’s scream was kinda funny)
My favorite part was when Therizinosaurus said "It's Domin' time." and dominioned all over Giganotosaurus, literal chills in the theater when I saw that part.
Honestly it was when grant said it’s grantin time and granted all over the dimetrodon
My favorite part was when the Pyroraptor said "It's hypothermia time." And hypothermiaed all over Owen and Kayla. Cinematic hypothermia at it's finest.
I swear these YT comments are better entertainment than the movie. 😆🤣
@@thenewlbj I loved the bit where dr Sattler said “it’s sattlerin time” then sattlered at the giga
I love the part where blue said "it's bluen time!" And blued all over the wolf
So, can I just say that Blue is basically a person in a raptor body after this movie?
Jurassic World showed that the raptors could be "reasoned" with to an extent, but never fully tamed.
The first half of Fallen Kingdom was much the same, like a person who raised a lion meeting the animal again after years, its always a toss up to how the animal will react.
Then the second half of Fallen Kingdom and Dominion happened and its like once Blue got the rex blood in her, she just stopped being an animal at all. Just a person. All of the danger of making sure you didn't get to comfortable around her vaporizes. The only time she is any danger to Owen is when Beta is taken. And then she slaps his hand and all but Demands him to get her baby back like an angry Karan. Like its somehow his fault SHE brought Beta there, and the writers conveniently forget that Velociraptors can smell people "a mile away" in their own lore. There is no way she didn't know about the poachers. None.
Hell I was halfway convinced Owen would have invited her in for a beer after a job well done.
And I love Blue. I know she is Important for Owen, but technically, she didn't even need to be in the movie. Neither did Beta. Maisie was all they needed. Maisie was made by the same method as Beta, a parthenogenic clone, and had the sample of the pathogen needed for the locust. Beta was totally unnecessary to the plot. All the data learned from Beta would have just been found in Maisie too. Getting two samples from two different species and trying to make them work on a third is way harder than just taking a single sample and making it work with a single other species.
I think it's pretty obvious that both beta and blues relationship was supposed to mirror that of maise's and Charlotte's relationship, showing the bond between mothers and daughters, but that shouldn't really be in a jw film
@@umairashraf5167 But they had to change Maise's origin to get that story. Her origin in Fallen Kingdom is not the same as in Dominion. It was all just pretty unnecessary. Plus they already set up Claire as the mom figure. It really paints Blue as a bad mom if you think about it. Blue demands Owen go get her baby that she lost. Claire goes out and risks her life repeatedly to get Maise back when she was kidnapped, and she isn't even her biological kid. The relationship isn't even mirrored that well.
@@smugreptile6695 this is all beside the fact blue should be dead by the end of fallen kingdom, there's no way she knew that gas leak + fire = explosion. I'm sorry but raptors have NEVER been that smart in this continuity, and even if they were intelligence alone is not enough for blue to know the things she did, it's pure plot armor.
@@dreymak4071 I think you are actually giving her too much credit. Its not that she knew it would explode. Its that she knew the gas was bad and fled. All the other dinosaurs did their best to get away from the gas, going so far as to brush shoulders with predators just to move away from it.
15:55 In my Jurassic World Dominion rewrite , as soon as Ramsey Cole says Apex Predator. Alan Grant says in shock " Spinosaurus ?" It than cuts a few flashbacks from Jurassic Park 3 ( with thr iconic theme of the Spino ) showing the Spinosaurus roaring , than chasing the group, and ending with the Spinosaurus rising from the water. The flashback ends. Ellie Sattler has a look of concern for Alan Grant. But Ramsey Cole says he was talking about the Giganotosaurus.
I legit almost walked out at the dilophosaur choke hold. My favourite dino in the franchise finally returns after 5 movies almost 30 years and it gets it's ass whupped before it can even do anything? I was so freaking irritated. It's return was the #1 reason I was excited to see this movie. The second later scene with them sort of made up for it, but it was still an awful idea for an initial 'return to the big screen' scene. Even if they subdued or killed the one right near Claire, it would have been so much better if the others decided to attack right after and they had to run. Then have Giga show up or have the dilos hear its roar coming close or something and that chases them off. Ugh. Anyway. lol
Cry Lol
@@tejeswarpasupureddi2528 bro what. Why shld he?
I know! I'm such a nut for practical effects, when I saw that the dilo was back AND practical? I was so pumped. Then it gets g r i p p e d by ol CP and I wanted to throw a hot dog at the screen
@@tejeswarpasupureddi2528 Almost did! lmao jk
Yeah, watching Owen just pick & squeeze him like a mfing silly gopher was just ..🤬
I loved the intro to the Dilo scene. Seemed very characteristic of the dinosaur. My heart raced when I saw my beloved Dilo again. But having Claire in no real danger and Pratt saving the day at the PERFECT moment absolutely ruined it.
And at that moment my heart sunk and my mouth gawked open. That was the closest I was to walking out of the theatre.
Same i really enjoyed the scene, my enjoyment stopped when daddy chris chocked the dilo to submission tho
@@imaybestupid2045sorry😂
At least they got to kill the big bad
When the Dilos cornered Dogson in such a horror themed way, I was thinking “look at how they massacred my boy.” I feel that the Dilophosaurus’ apparent cuteness and it’s curiosity towards Nedry is what made it really iconic and unique in the first film.
@@mmmcatfish4299 It's part of what makes it feel like a real animal. It's not some movie monster fixated on killing all monsters, it's just an animal that's reacting to the world in the way an animal would.
The Claire kneeling at the Dilo thing annoys me because they could have literally just made the Dilophosaurus their accurate size to achieve the head to head thing, the JP1 Dilo was speculated to be a juvenile after all.
Oh wait they wouldn't be able to have Owen choke it if it was larger pfft
Owen could have used his magic trick with his hands to subdue a larger dilophosaurus like he did for the carnotaurus and allosaurus.
@@theangrysuchomimus5163 that almost ate him
Do you really think that hand trick will work on every theropod? I think not, and not even the pterosaurs nor the herbivores and not even a damn kaiju-sized Mosasaurus
@@kaleozepeda4583 i think sucho is just joking, because that scene was literally what an idiotic people would do. :troll:
Idk why Claire kneeled down to begin with. Just kick the Dilo and it'll run away. Don't turn yourself into easy prey.
Fun fact: the reason why the lagoon’s location changed between JW and FK isn’t because they wanted to release the Mosasaurus into the ocean. It’s because when they were mapping out Isla Nubar for Fallen Kingdom they were using a previous map of Isla Nubar for reference. A map of the island from the development of Jurassic World from when that movie was still Jurassic Park 4. During that time of development the layout of the park was very different, including the lagoon leading into the ocean. I got this information from Klayton Fioriti, a JP RUclipsr and dedicated fan who is very reliable for JP intel, but has been wrong on occasion, so I’m not sure if this is true but I looked up the JP4 development island map and the lagoon’s location on that map matches up with its location in Fallen Kingdom, so I can believe that’s what happened.
I’m not convinced of that, as in the first world movie they show the lagoon, and it very much looks and seems as if it’s landlocked.
I watched the whole video, and I think I liked your review more than I liked the movie! It was an entertaining movie, but all the dumb things about it that you pointed out I completely agree with. This felt more like a money-grab than a climax to a beloved franchise by people who actually care about making a good movie. Anyway, I love your videos and hope to see more Jurassic content from you!😎🦖
Spitting fax mate!
Agree
I HIGHLY agree with the Concept Art of Owen and Alan facing off against the Pyroraptor should have definitely been in the Film.
It would have been an incredible opportunity to have two main protagonists from two different generations to face off against a familiar species that had huge impacts to their character arcs and it would have been a huge.... HUGE PAY OFF TO THEIR CHARACTERS!
It just baffles my mind that someone in the production office or even Colin didn't think it was an incredible scene for the Film.
I was waiting for beaver to review this movie
Finally the wait is over and I can enjoy him reviewing it for a whole hour
Worth the wait and everything he said was true
Except when he said Island at 39:51
Perftionist 😒😂
He was like 3 months late Lmao 💀
What I want from a Jurasic Park movie, is a survival horror. 20-30 extras ripped to shreds by the most dangerous animals that our history remembers. That would be fun.
Never thought in my life I would enjoy watching JP slander😭 if this vid was made by anyone else I would probably riot but I can’t help but laugh
I think the reason the Giga slowly walks around the crew while looking at them is because it is curious what they are, Giga may have never seen a human before and is interested. Before wondering how they will taste and actually starts to chase them.
The Giga would have definitely seen humans before since it was made by humans. Unless there is a breeding population of Giganotosaurs elsewhere in the world.
I like to believe it just wants to hunt for sport and got karma'd by Jeff shoving the fire stick in it's mouth
The Giga’s lore was that it was abused and used by BioSyn for animal testing. Which is why it has a scar on its lip and is missing scutes on its tail. Also probably why the Theri is blind. But because the movie makes no reference to this (or even highlights these things) no one besides a super fan would even know.
It was around humans all it's life
I just kind of assumed the Giga didn't want to waste too much of its energy on small prey and kind just toyed with them haha
I honestly feel like one of the big problems with these last three movies is a lack of planning. It's almost like they didn't realize there would be a second movie after the first, and a third after the second.
As you pointed out there are so many shots that are practically just 'hey, remember the old movies! Here's a shot just like that! Here's people from those movies! They're here too...for some reason! Here's a subplot that makes no sense because we don't know what to do with these people!"
I'm glad we got to get a dangerous herbivore though! Instead of one that just exists to be eaten.
I mean, we had dangerous herbivores all the way back in the lost world.
I think the real problem is that they have no story. They write whatever is the most convenient path for the plot to happen. They think out set pieces and then weave the story to loosely link those set pieces together with flimsy threads. Like you can literally pinpoint it:
"Owen falls in pit and has standoff with raptors"
"Owen rides a motorcycle with raptors through the jungle"
"All the dinosaurs and the main cast are running in the same direction to escape volcanic cloud and jump off cliff"
"Dinosaur in sewer with some lava dripping from the ceiling while characters try to escape"
"Owen has to jump through Rex' mouth after getting blood sample"
"Dinosaur chase scene through city - again on motorcycle"
"Dinosaur herding scene in snowy countryside"
"Therizinosaurus stalks main character through woods while being all scary and ominous"
"Locust on fire burst out of building and sets whole valley on fire"
Sure, movies need good set pieces and the original JP trilogy had pre-planned set pieces for sure. The difference is, most of the set pieces in the JW movies do absolutely nothing to further the plot. They just exist for the sake of shoving more action on the screen - and in general you could cut out most of it and the story would be unaffected. There is no link between the different events, they just _exist_ .
Dominion is imo the worst offender of all the JW movies. It thoroughly feels like no story was written in advance. Instead, most likely the directors and writers just had idea brainstorm sessions where they threw together as many "cool scenes" as possible and picked out the ones that were convenient to fit into a somewhat achievable narrative. Nothing of substance, tons of errors, butchering of dinosayr (and general animal) behavior. Complete disregard for physics. All in all it's doing exactly what the Fast and Furious franchise has become. It's turning a once cool and grounded niche, into a pseudo superhero franchise, because that's what they think the audience is willing to believe and acknowledge as acceptable writing and directing.
Ellie:FORGET THE HAT! The audience: do you have any idea what billy went through to get that thing?
You forgot the mention that when Masie through the skull at the dimetrodon at 32:08 is a reference back in Jurassic Park 3 when Eric through the skull at the baby pteradons and both scenes are in the exact same camera angle too :).Anyway, i agree with everything you said throughout this video i hope Universal will realize how heartbroken all the die-hard fans were when they saw the movie and i hope they fix their mistakes in the future
I think the main problem with the state of the franchise comes down to Universal. We, the fandom, continue to push for quality content, and even those involved in the production (such as Colin and the cast) do deeply care for the community, as evident by Colin's contact with Jurassic Outpost and the enthusiasm shown by the cast members, etc. It is obvious that the issue lies within the main Universal body. Partnering with big names instead of focusing on those within the fandom or canceling games we wanted, and even seemingly unrelated issues like pressuring BDH to lose weight, shows that their focus is on money and appeal and unfortunately dont care for the fans. And I think this speaks to a larger issue in Hollywood of competition and monopolies, as the same three production companies gain more and more franchises and care less and less for the fans behind these movies.
Edit: I will clarify that I LOVE Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom. Dominion on the other hand... it is enjoyable I suppose, but it's definitely not what I hoped for from the final film. I have not seen the extended cut, so idk how that will affect my viewing of it. And I do think a lot of criticisms of the movie, by critics and even some made by Beaver, are kind of ridiculous and too nitpicky, but the movie overall still has a number of flaws I can't get past.
Fully agree. Most of the reason why the Jurassic franchise is super lackluster is because Universal doesn’t see it as anything past a money maker. We could have much better movies and cooler games or shows, but none of that will happen until Universal expresses any sort of interest; which is likely never.
This movie is not even made for anything or anybody but for marketing purposes
That's mad. BDH is a total babe. Always has been. She seemed happy to be there so hopefully she's in good health
Agreed, it’s an industry problem.
@@LightningAlchemist13 yeah shes good. only reason she gained weight is I believe because she had another kid, so its ridiculous that universal execs were trying to pressure her into losing weight. Apparently, Colin had to step it and tell the Universal execs to chill out.
I didn’t hate it, but I was really underwhelmed. I think there are ideas in the film that could’ve worked, but of course that didn’t happen. I will say the only positives I have are that it introduces new species for the public to learn about. And plus it didn’t kill off the original cast so that’s an achievement.
Exactly! I agree.
Pretty spot on with my own opinion. Also nice profile pic!
@@badkharmah17 Thank you!
That's the issue.
This being the finale should of been the best of the SAGA.
And it's FAR from it.
I absolutely agree.
they need to start bringing people like james to review this stuff, the movies would genuinely improve by SO MUCH!
Amazing review. The hour flew by. I peeped the oddworld sound effect. Editing was so funny and insightful review.
Beaver I love how you made this entire hour long video and put lots of effect into it, even though you don't expect to make a penny from it because of Universal. I really love your content man.
Something funny about the Claire "RUN!" thing I just noticed. Her delivery in Dominion sounds like a midway between Fallen Kingdom and the World one, which was actually really good.
Also, Giga dying conflicts with the message about the natural dinosaurs being able to coexist with humans-the theme park monster wins
Excellent review James, I had fun with this one but man it does too much.
I dont it hurts it that much since the therizinosaurus didn't fight rexy after she slammed the giga right into its claws
i love this guy, ive watched him for years and hes made my day every single time i watch his video, ur amazing Beaver
I love how in the whole Jurassic World series Dr.Wu is back at it with his crazy projects, oh and would you look at that it has gone rong again..
20:05 In the Lost World people thought he was crazy because he tried to tell people about what happened in the first film, but nobody believed him.
not gonna lie, if gaming beaver was like a director for this movie it would have been such a greater movie, like the final showdown between giga and t rex flashing back to the prologue would've been something cool to see on the big screen. Plus he would've made the dino intros more suspenseful. not to add that he would also give alan grant more character building especially facing his fear about raptors by meating the pyroraptor.
Love the walking with prehistoric beasts music 🙌 big ups for that it’s an incredible soundtrack
5:45 To be honest, now that I have seen the extended edition, that scene is pretty cool how it goes into the containment aspect of the dinos being wild. There is a deleted scene where they lose the paras to some poachers. I wish we got a bit more focus on the Dinosaurs in our backyard aspect that Battle at Big Rock teased.
Coming out of the theater on this movie, I felt conflicted. I loved and hated it at the same time... it was such a strange feeling. After watching it a couple more times, listening to the imput of others etc. I've decided I like it. My favorite parts are the Owen and Claire moments (a lot of which are in the extended cut, why were they cut?!), the Malta scenes, the Therizinosaurus and Claire scene, the amber mines and I'll admit... I liked the dilophosaurus and Claire scene. Though it wasn't perfect... they could have added CGI, made the animatronic a little less stiff etc. I was just so happy to see dilo back. Really wish the plot had been different, something more along the lines of surviving in a dino infested mainland, which we kinda got but not really?? I would have loved if there was some self-sacrifice, someone died to save the others. Maybe more than one person, one of the main cast and Wu getting his novel death. This movie was fun in a lot of scenes, but for me it lacked the emotion and character development I was hoping for. Still, I liked the movie. It's probably 4th or 5th place for me out of all the Jurassic movies, but I liked it. All of this is just my own opinion, each to their own.
I agree with most of what you are saying.
I 100% agree with you. The movie isn't terrible but it is definitely far from the best
The movie was great, but the plot, and reasoning wasn’t executed properly and it made the movie feel like the disappointment when we realized JP 3 was only an hour and a half.
Hearing the voice which filled my child mind with fascination for dinosaurs express his disappointment (in the most positive way possible, as always) about Dominion really was the final nail in the coffin for this movie.
Nearly everybody who I've heard comment on it have brought up roughly the same issues, and even similar solutions to said issues. Your average Jurassic fan knows exactly how to fix this movie. Producers with considerable time and good budgets made this.
Jurassic World was a great next-up to the franchise in my opinion. It was natural next step in the narrative; "Okay, we've brought dinosaurs back to life through genetic manipulation. What happens when people get bored of that?" Genetic hybrids. Brilliant. The Indominus' abilities (camouflage, conscious changing in heat signature, coordinating with the velociraptors) which don't make sense from a thematic standpoint are all justified because she wasn't perfect. They got some things wrong. It makes sense. It's a considerably big leap from the theme of the Park movies, and I can understand why a lot of people don't like that. But my point is that Jurassic World, worked. Nobody really had any problems with it for the most part.
Fallen Kingdom was when it started going on a downwards spiral. The director tried to turn the movie into something Jurassic movies have never been whatsoever. They even took a fairly decent next step concept, weaponized hybrids, and butchered it. If you aim a gun targeting laser at an opponent, you can just.. Shoot them. Why bother with this highly unstable, very killable animal?
Dominion.. You've watched Beaver's review. I don't need to say anything about it.
I'm sorry this movie ended up so mundane. It hurts my heart to hear you, of all people having to explain how much this movie got wrong. Know we all feel that same pain.
Thank you all, for listening to my 5am ramble.
Here at 3 am, 2 days later, agreeing with everything you've said in this comment. It irks me to no end what they did to Ian Malcolm's character. Also, what was that final line concluding Satler's and Grant's romance? Can we even call it a romance at this point? *Big* yikes.
The thing about the Indoraptor being unstable, is that it wasn’t even the final product. The Indoraptor we see was not what the Indoraptor was supposed to be, it was Wu’s Early Access Patreon Reward. At least the Indominus was basically what she was designed to be, with some extra things Wu didn’t account for.
@@Weirdanimalboy I love how when Universal finally made another scary hybrid, the Scorpius Rex, they used it for a kids show.
I wholeheartedly agree with this comment
He is Owen Thunderguns, he could probably beat up Thanos if he wanted to
you should watch the extended cut of this movie. so much was cut from it to reduce runtime, the extended cut is almost 3 hours long but it ties everything together perfectly
This is easily the best jwd review on RUclips. You went so in depth and showed awesome scrapped content.
Yup Nothing will ever touch the original again but I gotta say if you really think about it even Jurassic park 3 was way more entertaining than this disaster because at least they still had that old Jurassic 90s feel to it then
Once the new trilogy started it was game over never felt like the first trilogy again I mean really in 2022 the dinosaurs looked worse than the first ones unrealistic and way to fast to the scenes all sloppy jammed together like a modern 007 movie mixed with 90s CGI and blurry and was terrible and poorly done.
Then to add to the horror was 3 storylines going nowhere fast and when the best of the best finally got together the movie was over see that's what's wrong with movies today either it's another crappier remake of the greatest of all time not even coming close again or once again we have to be politically correct in everything like let's play with the dinosaur and there not dangerous anymore and put them on a leash.
I mean come on people this would never happen they would be eating us alive not coming back at the end and basically giving us a high five for bringing my baby back they wouldn't have no way in hell have been able to get close to these prehistoric titans without being eaten or ripped apart or stepped on it would have been anarchy on a level never thought possible specially in the ocean with the megalodon are freaking kidding me your talking about a 70 foot great white eating machine that would be sinking boats like crazy same with the other 60 to 100 ft monsters that we never knew was out there until it was unleashed on us in a catastrophic way
Gaming beaver, I absolutely agree with your opinion. The magic for me just wasn't there anymore because of the littlest details in which were also important. Universal had the opportunity to show the absolute terror and carnage and consequence of having dinosaurs in our modern world, but it's like it didn't even matter. And the only closing arch we got was dodgeson which absolutely is unacceptable for this being the last movie
Love this recap. Editing is rope notch hilarity. Is there a longer version of the Dodgson Remix out there?
Blue wasn't "biting at the air" for no reason. She was just attacked, and her Daughter was just taken from her, she's trying to clime up where she fell to get to her, but can't. Visually I guess they chose that moment to reference back to JP1 with the raptor scene you mentioned, but the scene in Dominion definitely had a purpose, and it was hard to watch Blue scream in fear like that.
I can't get over that at 35:11 in, James used a quote from not only Hazbin Hotel, but ANGEL DUST being slammed by Sir. Pentius. I'm rolling right now 🤣
Yeah, that came out of nowhere. And it was hilarious!
cleearly unexpected
Very unexpected and funny
I just wanna bring to attention how incredible Beaver's editing is. All the added bits and sound effects made the video so much more enjoyable. None of them were necessary, I would've never thought of adding a squeak sound effect to a character blinking at exactly 45:23 into the video, but I love that they're anyways.
super happy to see you pull no punches here, I had a specific memory of your content and honestly recalled you being very content-farm-like, but going back I can see you’ve always been pretty insightful in regards to actually critiquing media. Mad respect for you and I hope for your youtube career to continue for even longer. ❤
Everyone's moving to japan lately, im super jealous
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the 'Dodgson always eating' thing was going somewhere.
I thought it was going to be hinting at some illness which would explain some of the genetic experiments and locusts he had going on, or why he was after Maisie and Beta.
I think it’s to show that he has a reliable supply of food in a world where his genetic experiments are causing widespread famine
Well Beaver this review was spot on. You explained it very precisely what I have felt after leaving the cinema, but couldn't articulate properly. I watched it even twice to give it an other shot, but new questions kept coming and parts I couldn't understand. I think the point when I really got angry, was when Claire crouched down to get right in the height of the Dilo's mouth. It was however a tough job to bring the franchise to an end. Unfortunately there is no next time, where it can be flawless.
At 41:17, I love how it says “Should have stopped at Lost World” and I agree with that… but I do like the first Jurassic World.
They did my favourite dinosaur the dilophosaur so bad I mean they got inside a car by themselves WHEN IT WAS A CHILD and I’m not sure with this one but it opened a metal door in the LEGO movie and then yOu cAN jUsT gRaB ThEiR nEcK aNd ThEy Do NoThInG aBoUt iT!!!
I think with these random shots of dinosaurs just being there, that was purposeful. Colin talked a lot about how he wanted the Dinos to seem more like animals rather than posing for the camera in the other films, I think he just went a little to hard and just had them standing there.
i was disapointed by the movie and i really couldn't figure out why but after seeing beaver point out the flaws, it makes me feel better, that i didnt just dislike the final movie of my favorite franchise for no reason thank you beaver
I hated it... The whole point of JP movies was that dinosaurs were genetic monsters off their time and place, creating a conflict between their existence and humans. Now is just an fast and furious movie with dinosaurs, nobody dies, no tension, T-Rex and Velociraptors turned from killing machines to fluffy heroes saving the day.
The worst part is that in some moments i thought that the movie was going to take a good route. Like the Theri scene and when the sail emerge from the water (I was thinking: Oh my god, they locked the Spinosaurus inside of a cave because it is SO VIOLENT, then is going to break free and we´ll see a real apex battle between Rexy, Giga and Spino), but no... Then in the Giga scene... All the tension, all the possibilitys of some main characters die, like Ian closing his arch sacrificing himself to save Grant´s life... But no.
I believe that the best word to describe this movie is UNDERWHELMING... They didn´t delivered good fan service, good plot and not even a good movie. It´s kind sad, because they nailed battle at big rock and the prologue.
Totally agreed but one thing, Dinosaurs are not killing monstrous machines, Have you seen a tiger? Cow? Giraffe? Dinosaurs are just like them just were more bigger, Just animals for god's sake with natural instinct
Next movie plot: "dinosaurs now have the ability to fly and shoot Lazers because they forgot to mention they put compound v in their DNA" 💀
I feel like the whole locust story could’ve been done as a spin off film rather as the final film for the Jurassic franchise, also they could’ve made it seem like the giganotosaurus would rage in such a small space which led him to trying to take down rexy or something
Ngl what they did with the locusts actually made me miss indominus rex indoraptor and scorpius rex
Or they could've removed the locusts entirely because dinosaurs all over the world is cool and nobody cares about some stupid bugs.
@@Bagelgeuse The locusts are literally the only reason for the classic characters to do anything because honestly, they’ve already done all they could with dinosaurs in the older films. What would they be directly needed for with an outbreak of same old species in the mainland? Alan might make some sense with his expertise but not Ellie and Ian. They only work as high distance advisors at this point of time, not action stars. So props for Dominion for at least trying to be clever with them even when said attempt wasn’t all that successful.
@@Dinoslay The original cast could have worked with just dinosaurs. How has Alan's career been affected by the dinosaurs all over the world? Does palaeontology mean anything if you can pull out a camera and record an live dinosaur? I know it's touched upon briefly with some snotty teenagers, but Alan inspired real kids to become palaeontologists, so seeing the scientific field he represents get brushed aside sucks. How do the dinosaurs survive in ecosystems they were never made for? Ellie, a palaeobotanist could have been studying that considering plants are the basis for most food chains. What does Ian think of the disaster that he warned people about finally coming true? And no, "Jurassic World, not a fan" is not a satisfactory response from the person who argued against cloning dinosaurs the most. If they've done all they could with dinosaurs in the previous films, then why include them, or even make the movie at all?
@@Bagelgeuse To repeat, they could have worked as distant advisors like Malcolm was in Fallen Kingdom. But getting them into action sequences with the same old species isn’t going to work without a fresh incentive to drive them to it which the locusts sort of offered. Without that they’d have been virtually useless(which they still kinda were). The characters are simply too old to be running from dinosaurs, island or mainland. They did their part and had their reunion, time for retirement. Let the new professionals handle the beasts now.
My favorite part is when Dodgson says “it’s Dodgson time” and started dancing
Guess he had eaten too many sweets and wanted something salty. Didn’t ask if anybody else wanted a soda tho.
Hey beaver, love the vid! Did you know that in Canada where I live, Jurassic World: Dominion came out on my birthday? My head exploaded when I found out haha.
The ending fight scene would have been the saving grace of the entire film dude. I had no idea whatsoever about the T-rex having a flashback to it's final moments in the cretaceous period. That would have been incredible dude.. especially since they touched on the DNA in this movie being 99.9% pure. (Because only siths deal in absolutes and neither do scientists)
You put everything I felt about the franchise into this review. Was really gutted overall with the trilogy. And like you said bringing back the JP cast was underwhelming 😅
I liked it more than I thought I would, especially after not being a big fan of fallen kingdom. It’s not perfect by any means but I wish they built up Dodgson more as a character. Also I feel like Barry and the whole thing with the black market will get some sort of spin off because of how abruptly that part of the movie ends. But I’m happy with the way the main characters conclude their role in the franchise (maybe?).
Please god i hope they're concluded, i never want to see them again.
Hell i never want trevorrow to make another jurassic fanfilm again.
Wasn't my favorite but I liked it
@@RedbearHuntsmanYea same mate
Fallen kingdom was goaded
@@realityblows5817 but was spoiled in the trailers
My biggest pet peeve about this movie is the fact Blue acts like she doesn’t know Owen or his family at all and the lack of dinosaur screen time/development. Like it would’ve made sense to have blue and Owen start bonding like they have all throughout the JW trilogy but NOPE LETS BREAK THEM APART UNTIL THE END.
If they even think about making another Jurassic franchise movie then they better fix the dinosaur screen time and development while fixing what they did to blue and her kid as blue trusts Owen with her life and would not act like that towards him.
The characters are fine we can deal with them. But there is 1 change and that would be adding more protagonists so they can die off while Owen and his family live.
Also why did the spino not show up? It would’ve made a lot of fans happy to at least see it show up in any form in another live action film
Thanks for the vid gaming beaver you bring a smile to my face every single day
The dilophosaur scene had me in a laughing fit in the theater 🤣🤣
Unfortunately the animitronics in this film were bad, I guess Colin isn’t good with animatronics
@@Gamer-Rex Yeah, especially the Dilophosaurus. The Dilo in the first film was entirely practical, no CGI, and it looked great. Now, it's painfully obvious that they're just stiff, lifeless robots.
@@Gamer-Rex That has nothing to do with the director of the film. It has more to do with the people who made and controlled the animatronic.
@@Bagelgeuse In Jurassic park, I did not know it was practical, and the animatronics in the first 5 films were so good it was real enough for me to believe they are actually animals, but here they’re are so lifeless they look like robots
I was really hoping the old trio encountered with the Dilophosaurus as well since they never saw one back in Jurassic Park 🥲
Yeah, alan grand need to see that bloody dilophosaurus
An adult dilophosaurus would have been so cool too !
Was hoping for that too with Ian saying ”well, uhm, took us over three decades to see a Dilophosaurus after the tour started but I guess we finally made it.”
The Dilophosaurus in the first film was one of the good guys. I might die on that hill.
I loved the analysis and breakdowns to jurassic world dominion the easter eggs the acting dinosaurs scenes everything was broken down perfectly mr.beavers 😊❤🎉
"You can be happy Camp Cretaceous fans, something of the Netflix series made it to the final movie" but not what I wanted, I just wanted Pierce and Bumpy 😢
i think we can all agree, colin nailed it with the two short films, they were awesome( battle at big rock and the prologue)
If only he had the same skill when it comes to MAKING THE ACTUAL MOVIES
yeah he can make cool scenes definitely, his plots are a different story (pun not intended)
THANK YOU. You've captured all of my problems with this film. You've made me feel heard
I think the ending of dominion would be a lot better if Malcolm giving another speech and finally ends the speech saying "Life finds a way" with the dinosaur adapting with the modern word in the background....
No gonna mention that therizinosaurus is a bloody herbivore and having it attack Claire makes about much sense as being mad at JP3 because Spiny was main antagonist and not a T-Rex
Kinda have to agree with beaver about the mosasaur it had a lot of potential about anything it could do about the ocean like fighting whales or killer whales or something badass but they just show the mosasaur destroying the boat and that’s it.
This entire review was better than Dominion, it had better pacing, better editing and had a character we all love
I remember leaving the theater and thinking, "Man, I'm a fan. Why wasn't that more fun for me?"
I have a idea for why blue was biting the camera while climbing she was properly trying to grab a branch we can’t see or something to hang on
The only thing I disagree with beaver here is Malcom throwing the spear, because it was so cool to see the giga breathing fire like a dragon. That was Jeff's idea and my god it's a good one
That’s just his opinion and literally everyone has their own opinion like me
@@kaleozepeda4583 I'm not saying his opinion is bad or anything I just don't agree with it. Everyone's opinions are valid
Zeb looked like it ate a chilli pepper. It was hilarious.
Man, you just nailed it, when I saw the movie I was thinking exactly the same points you made. It's not a bad movie, but for those who are fans of the JP franchise it leaves a lot to be desired.
I enjoyed the movie as a guilty pleasure, but one thing I would have loved to see if it was thought of being implemented is the character Kayla actually being Kelly the whole time and when she sees Dr. Malcolm, there would be a father daughter moment.
I think it would have been cool to have a paleo-accurate Dilophosaurus either make a cameo or work with the JP Dilophosaurus in the movie since they talk about having 100 percent accurate dinosaurs in the sanctuary.
