I’m glad we at least got a Dino Joker in this. Who can forget his famous line? “We live in a Jurassic Park”
Where Spielberg.. is a distant memory
“I’m a Jurassic Girl, in a Jurassic World…”
I thought the last part was 'ecosystem' in the 'we live in a....' line
Why so hungry?
@@andreafraustoz It was
So the two plots are locusts eating crops and girl gets kidnapped. You could just take the dinosaurs out of the movie.
Well... No.
It felt like they had more story ideas than they had runtime to properly develop them.
@@somethinglikethat2176 Yep. Many things in this film were so underdeveloped. BioSyn, locusts, dinosaur invading the ecosystem etc.
@@somethinglikethat2176 And when we say that about a 2.5 hour long movie, there's a problem.
“Just take out the dinosaurs” So you think that dinosaurs are just in one area chilling? And what will be the movie called?
The story wouldve been better if they add connections about the dinosaurs but they didn’t
Just watched it in theater, can confirm thinking about it after that the story felt like it was held together by scotch tape and dinosaurs were there
The fact that all the dinosaurs spread like a plague makes no sense and pissed me off like 1 minute into the film lol
Does the film even explain how it happens?
@@shungite8240 not really. They just show a map of them spreading. I guess we could assume it's from poachers or something, since the point of origin was that mansion from FK
@@shungite8240 NOT AT ALL
But even that is kind of interesting point of perspective that could lead to more deep and new meaning of JP, they just ended up in a park again faced uncounted scary and always attacking dinosaurs. The whole idea with dinosaurs living free just gave us one chasing scene in Italy.
So boring movie. Fast and furious Jurassic
You have to watch the fifth one to get that
Your use of the 'no one cares' clip deserves an award
The scene where the all the main characters meet up and are 'chased" by the gigantosaurous (probs not correct spelling) was so underwhelming. It was as if the dino was completely blind and didn't just watch them walk round a car.. As if they sneaked away? Then of at the end of the scene, they play the theme song as if they narrowly escaped with their life. Not once did I feel like any of the main characters might not make it out alive or questioned how they would make it out. And dont get me started on the clone girl.. WHO CARES, WE ARE NOT HERE TO WATCH THIS CLONE GO THROUGH A JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY. Oh yeah and who was smoking crack and decided that the locasts would be a good idea? Absolutely loved the first jurrasic world but drastically got worse over the past two movies.
Exactly I almost walked out when the girl put out her hand to distract the dinosaur and then the others did it too😒😒
... absolutely spot on .....i think in every scene u knew that the dinosaurs could do no harm to the actors .........so bad ...so predictable and dumb
There is a plot. Rescue the immaculately conceived little girl who is needed to be the savior of humanity against swarms of locusts and famine. Why anyone thought this is a plot customers would want to see in a Jurassic World/Park film though is beyond me.
Yep, I agree. I found it difficult to even explain the movie to someone else. Basically, it's prehistoric Fast and Furious. They couldn't leave well enough alone. I was left highly disappointed. I understand that you could never match the shock, awe, and pure wonder of the first Jurassic Park. This one lacked any kind of substance. One ridiculous scene after the next.
I had this thought too but at least the Fast And Furious movies are fun or have some interesting never seen before stunts or are held together by the importance of “family”… but this Jurassic Park isn’t fun, has nothing new, and is held together by nothing
Companies have no reason to leave well enough alone. They exist to make profit. If people start expecting this, franchises would die when they turn to crap like Jurassic World
@@sdmitch16 Yes, I agree. For me, it's not so much "leaving well enough alone" as it is making a ridiculous movie just for the sake of making a movie. If you insist on making more movies, then try to do it well. However, I guess it all goes back to the money. It's such a popular franchise that people will pay to see it regardless and they know it.
I'm glad my gut reaction to the trailers and such wasn't wrong. I love Jurassic Park. It's my all-time favorite movie. Even now at 34 that movie is still very special to me. I still feel that sense of wonder and magic. It holds up so well. I also love The Lost World and JP3. I know people like to rag on those 2, especially JP3, but they're still special. JP3 still has that sense of wonder to it. It still feels special.
I saw Jurassic World in theaters when it released and I've never been more disappointed by a film. It has none of what made the original 3 movies special. Bad CGI, bad characters, bad timing with music cues (like when the monorail goes through the gates), and it just felt like a retreat of the original Jurassic Park with none of what makes Jurassic Park special. Also serving to prove that no one learned the lesson Jurassic Park was teaching about not being able to control nature. About not fucking around and finding out when it comes to extinct ancient creatures. The Lost World served to further emphasize that those who think they can handle the dinosaurs better, that they can do it better and right, all just fail in the end. Jurassic World didn't learn that lesson. They didn't get the point that it doesn't ever work no matter what's tried.
I decided not to see Fallen Kingdom at all since what little I saw just gave me the feeling it was a bad retread of The Lost World (taking dinosaurs off the island, shit hitting the fan as a result, etc). Dominion looks to be some weird mix of them all and what I've seen of the trailers leaves a bad taste in my mouth for sure.
"So preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" applies to those who made these the Jurassic World movies. Things were tied off just fine with the original trilogy. All the JW movies do is highlight just how much better the original JP movies are.
JW trilogy is just a more coherent (SW) ST.
@@thecunninlynguist At least The Force Awakens was good though. I also didn't bother to see the next two of the sequel trilogy given I'd heard how incoherent they got. JW wasn't very good at all and gave us no likeable characters.
@@SolaScientia ehh..after the shine of a new SW wore off on me and seeing how much of a carbon copy TFA is to ANH, it's okay at best. JW is similar. I was hyped when it was first released but after the newness wore off, it's just JP but worse. The only good thing about the JW trilogy is the story sorta makes sense. It's a stupid story, but it isn't as disjointed as the ST.
Jurassic Park is a lot like Alien; falls off after the first movie.
@@user-pn1fe6sg2w I've only seen Alien and Aliens, both of which I love. Haven't bothered to see the ones after the first two because of what I've heard about them.
All they had to do was make an extended version of the last part of Jurassic Park 2 with more dinossaurs, how hard can this be?
The whole plot could have been done without dinos in the world
ask the spinosaurus
they're culture vultures. they only care about easy money. less work more win.
This is litterally all anybody has ever wanted since the second film and we NEVER got it
It also has a bad environmental message...Make room for invasive dangerous creatures encroaching on ecosystems already under pressure because they are cute.
Environmental scientists have repeatedly discussed the problem of celebrity species getting all of the attention and resources while more vital species go extinct. Think of how many species could've been saved using the resources spent trying to keep the evolutionary dead end that is the panda alive.
Haven't watched this movie (or any of the Jurassic world movies) but I can say that some good came of this, as a week before the movie premiered, my local cinema aired the original Jurassic Park which I had never seen before. It was pretty good! So there's that I guess.
what'd you think of it? Seeing it as a kid in 93 is one of my fave memories. There as such a sense of awe watching them dinos for the first time. I legit almost thought they were real, lol. Dumb kid, I know.
I’d love to watch the original for the first time again
ok zoomer
@@goprojoe7449 I said it was pretty good?! I don't understand this comment. Fuck me for not being born when it came out I guess
@@LOLquendoTV lol yes basically
Everyone to Morbius: Perhaps I treated you too harshly
"I'm Dino-sore" ? Nah man, more like "I'm Juras-sick of of Jurassic World"
I'm Still waiting for Jurassic PARK 4.... Like these "World" movies Never existed.
Went to see it today, left before it finished. I have never been disappointed by a JP movie in my life….. until Dominion
My biggest gripe was I had no idea why they took the prologue from November out. The first 15 minutes were so weak without it. 😭
The original Jurassic Park was a masterpiece was because of its subtlety, so when there is action, it stands out. Nonstop action makes you numb to it. Subtlety is a lost art.
Excellently put
The problem is not Jurassic World, it's the expectations for movies and the standards we have set for them. Jurassic Park had subtext in it's design and feature. The double meaning in the conversations, the ethical standards, and subtext. Those are missing in Jurassic World. We cannot fawn at the principles of the scene, I think it was mentioned in Malcolms lecture in the movie, but it didn't give it depth, because there was no counter in the argument in the conversation compared to the lunch scene in Jurassic Park. I remember the importance of Hammond's icecream scene and flea circus had so much deliverance and subtext behind it. The idea of illusion and the metaphorical value of spare no expense. It cut deep, but its been devalued to nothing more than a catch phase that it dilluted its true meaning.
You missed the best subtle moment in all of Jurassic park. On the helicopter at the start, Grant had a messed up seat belt. He had two ports, often referred to as the female ends. He had two females but found a way to make a seat belt by tying them together. Beautiful foreshadowing for the all female dinosaurs finding a way to reproduce.
@@TemLightKiBlade The lunch scene is one of my favoruites, because of the use of projectors, it was a device in the background to show enlightenment, and when shot, Malcolms idea had more illumination than the others. Other metaphors was Hammond and Malcolm being competing figures, like God and devil.
I recommend you watch this video lecture of Jurassic Park with Mike Hill. So good.

I think everyone needs to stop comparing this to the original Jurassic Park
@@jlev1028 because some people act like the sequels are garbage which isn't true while nothing can compare to the original classic by Steven Spielberg the secret you offer some charms to them introducing new dinosaurs and characters
Every sequel to Jurassic Park feels like bludgeoning a baby dinosaur to death.
Can only squeeze out so much money before it stops bleeding, sadly.
RIP, Jurassic Park IP, we'll remember the original movie fondly. The others, not so much.
I was hoping for a fire breathing T-Rex(ok that’s basically a wingless dragon), but oh well.
Thanks, Transformers: Age of Extinction.
It Rex my head, so it does.
there is a fire breathing t-rex (giganautasaurus in this case)
I was about to say in some stupid ass way you got it.
Yeah, I'll probably wait for blu-ray because I didn't like how they burned me in the last JW
by showing the "Mosasaurus" in the ocean going after the surfer only to find out it was
just put in the last act as a teaser of what could happen in future.
Only the other day I pointed out in a forum that the best scene in Jurassic Park was the look of awe and wonder on Grant and Sattler and the wideshot of the dinosaurs. It can still make me tear up despite having seen it over a dozen times. I am very sorry you were forced to see this movie. I will thankfully not have to do that. I'll just rewatch the original again.
For me, was when Hamon said, Dr Grant, mi dear Dra Sattler, welcome to Jurassic Park and the camera takes the faces in awe of both and the wide shot, a miracle, a life miracle, and i agree with the guy, i imagine top gun Maverick was for the 80s an average movie, but today, with the things we have today, it is a good movie, a good movie is an excelent movie
Mine is when Grant says, “They’re moving in herds; they do move in herds.”
@@marywarren8357 So so so good!
Subjective opinion is subjective opinion...
Besides those, we loved the now famous lines: "now that's a big pile of s**t", "hold on to your butts", "uh-uh-uh", "clever girl", " spared no expense" - then Hammond eating the ice cream, "I touched it", " I can't believe you're not familiar to the concept of attraction" etc.
best part about this movie was alan and ellie finally getting together
I went in with suffocatingly low expectations so saying that I was reasonably entertained - there’s a few cool action scenes but the plot is just hilariously contrived, like they’re not even trying anymore. The main villain is really that one jobber from the first movie, the Giganotasaurus isn’t even a malicious threat like the Indominus Rex was, none of the several main characters are ever in any mortal danger, and at the end they have Dr Grant and Ellie get back together just to retcon JP3 splitting them up. It’s such a weird and aimless movie.
Im so sick of hearing and seeing the shills put up front saying this move was "the best Jurassic World movie ever!". It was the worst Jurassic movie EVER! Boring, bad characters, bad writing, bad acting, stupid new characters that didn't do anything to add to the story... TRASH!
If you don't like the movie that is fine but not everybody agrees with you
@@animezilla4486 but they are right it's a turd of a movie on the same level of the last predator film, this is a crappy action film wearing the hollowed out corpse of Jurassic Park in a cynical attempt to sell more tickets.
@@josephrigley8974 I think it’s a great movie on level with if not better than the original Jurassic park I think most people hate it because they got older and grew out of dinosaur movies and are sad they don’t feel the same was they did when they were a kid and watched Jurassic park I think this because I haven’t heard any good complaints because the majority just say it’s bad with no reasoning given like you did or they try to justify their hate and it’s just wrong or word salad
@@clodwick9040 no its a bad movie, the cinematography is mostly boring derivative shots, the story is ridiculously convoluted and has no real payoff, there are several scenes where the CGI just plain looks bad, there is a scene where a badguy gives very clear exposition while he's literally having his arm eaten by a dinosaur, and worst of all the writing throughout is just flat and boring nothing but exactly what was needed to be said in the moment to get the plot to the next contrived action set piece.
What do you learn about these people from this film? Nothing, their personal lives and feelings on the events that are happening are never explored in any way they just accept everything going on like its just another day at the office and its completely lifeless.
I love people who believe that there is an objective opinion and they supposedly have it! 🤣
My favourite moment was when T-Rex said "It's morbin' time!" and morbed all over New York.
I have no idea if the “dino-sore” joke was because of how nick said dinosaur in the coverage of summer games fest but that landed so much harder just because of that. Regardless I am so glad this video exists, I feel the criticisms you’ve made about this movie can be applied to the Jurassic World series and regrettably too many hollywood flicks. It is heartbreaking that these… dare I say soulless? Movies are so often the ones that the masses flock to and make the most money, thus we get more “spectacular” media just like it. Despite that sad state of affairs thank you for holding film to a higher standard! It’s content like this that keeps me coming back to The Escapist!
I didn't hate it, I think maybe I'm biased because I didn't like the last one so damn much that anything slightly better would be enough to make me happy LOL
I don't love it either though, it's just so much generic actions by Blockbuster stuff that we've seen in so many other movies
If I have to watch yet another motorcycle barely escape in the nick of time by climbing onto a cargo ramp in a plane in the last second, I'm going to lose all faith in anyone ever writing new ideas
Never mind the amount of times we've seen some people knock out some guards and dress up in biohazard suits to access the secret lab undercover
The first half of this film is just utter ridiculousness and it jumps around so much that it's just convoluted.
I think the movie is a lot better in the second half when they're all United and are just trying to escape, even though I know it's all played for nostalgia I can't help but smile and laugh at a lot of the interaction between the original cast
Honestly one of my biggest disappointments is just how underused this giant cast of dinosaurs is
They add in dozens of different species to put them on film for the first time, but they have like 2 to 5 minutes of screen time tops before they're never seen again
Also the concept of laser-guided dinosaurs is just as dumb in this one as it was in the last one
I didn't hate my time seeing it though, I would probably give it like a 6 out of 10, it's just a weird film that manages to be both equally parts exciting and boring, and both equally parts cool and stupid
Yeah, I had been looking forward to it until I saw the second round of trailers and realized the contrived "plot" they were going for. *sigh* Since when were T Rexes in your backyard not scary enough?
This review was so spot on. I want my 2.5 hours and $30 back after seeing this movie. Also, that little Dodgson bit you did almost made me choke to death while laughing.
I got mine back. Actually walked out and asked for a refund right after they went to the "black market" scene.
I have a different option;
I saw it last night and I thought it was pretty good.
I saw the original Jurassic park in theaters back when I was 13, it was the first "grown up" movie I saw in the theaters with my dad. Because of that it's one of my all time favorites. I've seen every other JP franchise movie in theaters since, not all of them were top tier, but I did enjoy them all.
Admittedly I have a lot of nostalgia for them.
I like the new characters, and thought they used the original cast very well. If dinosaurs were really loose worldwide I can imagine that it would be a lot like this.
Also, I don't think they really made a big deal about Dodson or the can. They were mostly callbacks to the original movie for people who notice, but my wife didn't really pick up on many of the callbacks since she's not as big of a fan.
It's ok to not like it, but I enjoyed the references and callbacks and fan service, since I am a fan.
No you did not think it was pretty good. You are clearly delusional.
@@mizer9510 seriously
Loved this movie I wouldn't say it was the best but so many cool scenes
@@TREXHUNTERJOHN Fitting that your name is John Stoopid
Same.
It was the best one of the World trilogy.
The thing that annoyed me most was how poor the animatronics were. It was very clear the person in charge did dark crystal the dinosaurs had the same aesthetic made them not look remotely natural. The dimetrodon in the amber caves....genuinely looked like it was 1950's stuff colourized. Really really disappointing film.
Dinosore? More like DINOSNORE
Sorry that pun was dinopoor
I APPROVE!
Dude by immediately comparing it to the original movie you’re completely closing yourself off from just enjoying it as a fun dinosaur movie with actual amazing and fun action ://
Great review. There's no need to hold back or mince words when it comes to reviewing rubbish.
another left winger money grab
Jurassic world dominion is my favorite of all 6
Meh
@@Gaiseric0 the truth is hard to accept
@@clodwick9040 no, meh to him. Jw dominion isnt garbage at all
Between Jurassics and Tomorrow War I am convinced Chris Pratt has contract clause that says he can't be in a movie with a plot any more complex than "Haha pretty CGI effects go brrrrr".
It’s sad because Pratt is a legit good actor
Just saw this movie and I want a do over! It was so amazing seeing the OG characters, but it didn’t come together right. I wish they could do this movie over with a better team.
I think the original Jurassic World was amazing (great story, characters, visuals), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was not quite as good but still great and had a good storyline. Dominion had some cool ideas and of course great visuals but it was too much action. I wish it went a little slower and explained some things before just jumping into it, definitely the worst of the trilogy.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first two Jurassic worlds, the plots made sense for both of them, and I did enjoy this movie too, I did enjoy the meshing together of many scenes, but, (and this could change over time but for now this is my honest perception) I felt some things could have been done differently.
I do feel some parts were rushed while some parts weren't rushed. it seems like there was a desperate desire to keep it just under two and a half hours, where it really should have been the 3 hours that most of us hoped it would be. I'm no movie plot expert by any stretch of the imagination but this is my take on it:
Certainly if they actually went with the plot that the first two Jurassic Worlds led us to believe would be the plot (the weaponizing of dinosaurs for war), then not only would we have gotten the whole 3 hours, but it would have opened pathways to include more in the movie, especially the spinosaurus that we all really should have seen.
I'm really not sure why the creators felt like they could not have two antagonists, Justice League Dark Apokolips War did this and nailed it, it was insane when Trigon came out and we then had to figure out what was going to happen now that two independent supervillains were in the mix.
The locusts could have played some part of the mix, but The Giga and Spino would have been Biosyn's "Big Guns" They could have brought in one of the other rexes from site B, they could have teamed up against the Spino and Giga, or each of those rexes could fight one of the antagonists each in different areas, or the Spino could have been brought in last minute as a last resort after the Giga would fall to the rex, and then the other rex would come in and help, something, there were ways to make it happen.
The fact that we got that cheap Spinoraptor appearance in the underground cave was not only proof that they could have fit it in somehow, but, further, it was almost like a big tease to the fans, a "haha you're not getting what you want." Call me overly bitter for saying that, but man would it be so bad to have left us with the impression that in some cases the spinosaurus could win and in some other cases the T-Rex could win, even paleontologists will say things like that when they predict which apex carnivores would win over the other.
So it can be said that this movie was put together well in its own way in its own direction that was decided upon to move with, but overall I thought Jurassic world 1 and 2 were better, especially the endings. In Dominion, the character stuff was done fairly well, the dino stuff was done pretty well too, it was just the plot and the missing additions... just wanted to get my input out there, I'm interested to hear any similar or different opinions.
Haters gonna hate..I though it had a lot of great dinosaurs and great cast.I loved the pilot💙I thought it was aimed at the younger folk and those who watched the first movie. Fantasy and great special effects. The new dino baddie looked like he'd done our favorite T Rex until The Claw turned up and I loved that.Those spitting frilled neck guys,Ice bird,Mr Claw, Raptors,Baby Blue, Dinos at the log camp,Creepy Locusts, Giga, Plane gets knocked out, Cave dinos, Dinos all safe home from fire . Great simple fun.
Feels like the script was made to please a board of investors with only 10 minutes of attention, rather than an actual audience.
It’s a studio/corporate movie, not a movie made for critic AND audiences who like good stories and well-developed, likable and interesting characters.
Im going to go against the grain here. I just took my kids to watch it in theaters, and we loved it. I think it had a great balance with the new and older cast coming together in one movie. It has tons of easter eggs from past movies in it, if you dont like it your missing out on something. Ill be doing a full movie review on my channel here shortly.
Yeah idk what everyones talking about, I loved it
You're the problem with society
Interesting. This was a good movie.
It was excellent! it's doing freaking amazing in the box office too. I loved it so much. My wife and I really loved it. The guy doing this review probably lives in his mom's basement 🤣
@@stephendorn5875 it was shocking, coming from a dude that doesn't live in his mom's basement.
@@kyleosborne7504 shocking in what way? Lol
@@stephendorn5875 plot, acting, dumb scenes that made no sense. It’s a 2/10 at best.
@@kyleosborne7504 your opinion is worth 2/10 in my book lol. I hope you dislike the next several star wars films too lol
They should pull a Disney move and say everyone attacking the film is racist.

Wish we saw the Spino.
They lied about giga being the biggest
@@dandino8100, lol, what? 🤣
Just watched it and gotta say I came for a fun dinosaur movie and I got one go see it y’all 😂
You're the problem with society
I mean. Sure jwd might be a bit choppy and plain at some points but it is what it is. I also don't understand why people keep criticising it for 'not having enough dinosaurs'. It literally introduces Giganotosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Dimetrodon, Quetzalcoatlus, Lystrosaurus, Microcerarus, Moros Intrepidus, Iguanodon, Dreadnoughts and Oviraptor when it comes out in the extended version. Additionally it brings back loads of old dinosaurs. I think the locust sub-plot is creative and links back to how greedy humans can be. Just because the story's a bit choppy and there isn't dinosaurs 24/7 doesn't mean it's that bad.
Yes, I have a lot to say on the subject.

Tbh ( my opinion) I loved the movie the movie was good but the only part I hate was the final battle wasn't really long enough tbh but if it lasted like idk like 5 more minutes it would've been much bigger
Much better *
I enjoyed watching this movie.
It was fine.
Still reeling from Morbius.
This movie literally left a stain on the entire franchise. This literally is a very very bad movie. I’m extremely disappointed. I don’t even think this film should be affiliated with the name Jurassic park.
Swerv said jurassic without dinosaurs is a good thing and enevitable one fat
whiny child
This film was so bad. You know it's terrible when they make a dinosaur movie that's boring.
It’s literally a bunch of vignettes duct tapes together by nostalgia 😂
You’d expect a sequel to address and maybe even answer the question left by it’s predecessor but nope. It’s a 2 and half hour long film and at the end the same question goes unanswered.
as someone that likes the books and the movie series, it was a decent movie, but it didn't spark the magic that secret Spielberg was capturing, so it was too much action and not enough imagination that makes
Et pas du tout concluant
This is why I gave up on going to theaters long before COVID killed them, the movies started being sub par (liked the first Jurassic world, second was ok).
Instead of buying 1 or 2 movie tickets at $12+ ea I've gone the route of "if it is worth it, I'll buy it at $25 for the bluray+dvd/digital combo, else buy when in the bargain bin"
I do plan on buying this movie when it comes out at the $25 or maybe the trilogy package if it makes sense to buy (never bought the 2nd movie, just watched in theaters), but it sounds like Jurassic Park 3 all over again, except that movie was still an "ok" movie with a plot lol...
That's pretty much what I've done. With a 4K tv and a sound system, if I'm going to spend 12 - 15 bucks on a ticket, I'd rather just own the movie. At least I got something out of it and if I don't like it I can just stare at it on my shelf with contempt. Did I mention I bought a 4K copy of Moonfall? :P
I like going to theaters, even if the movie is subpar....mostly because of things like AMC A-list and other similar services. Before Moviepass I was more of a blu-ray guy, but since the rise of sub services, it doesn't beat being able to see at least 5 movies/month for the price of 1 ticket
@@theescapist Why would anybody buy a 4K copy of "Moonfall"?
@@theescapist I skipped the TV and just threw in a bluray player into my computer lol. Only downside is because I'm Ryzen no 4k movies thanks to some proprietary BS from intel... Also I've not seen Moonfall outside of it sitting in stores, tho now I have a movie to watch because it's on prime for free.
@@cba_2442 Where I live for nearly 2 years they were, and the biggest company here was in a questionable state, however yes now the seats are packed that life has finally returned (mostly) to normal.
Besides I've visited some really nasty theaters before I stopped going to them.
To quote Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park (1993): *"That is one big pile of shit!"*
Seriously, after Dominion I came to the conclusion that Jurassic Park shouldn't have been a Franchise in the first place. It should have been a one and done film and that's it.
The same goes for Jaws and Highlander.
I'm glad Jurassic Park became a huge franchise because we wouldn't get to see all the amazing dinosaurs and characters and besides you heard the phrase money talks
I honestly am sitting at a bar down the street from the theater after just walking out of the movie maybe 20 mins ago… I maybe was 70% into it before I looked at the time and said “F this why am I here” and I love this franchise so much but this was arguably the worst movie in the entire franchise… it was realllly realllyyy bad…. I just had to check and make sure I wasn’t alone in this thought
The movie is shockingly bad... at one point I couldn't believe it even got made. There's one scene where I'm positive the actors aren't even in the same shot and you can see the horrible acting old villain guy talking to his young assistant, and the back of the old guy's head is shown, and you hear his boring voice, and it's clear he's not even talking
I saw this last night. It was a bad movie. I truly rolled my eyes for 33% of it. But my movie buff family adored it because movies these days cannot be new or original, they can only capitalize on established nostalgia because deep inside everyone's psyche is an understanding that fresh new good ideas and execution don't make money anymore
Tbh when it comes up to movies we expect way too much from them and the fact that most of the stuff we say is not even confirmed that is definitely our problem as movie fans
I didn't mind the movie and at the very least it didn't end on a cliffhanger etc. Effectively making the trilogy over (I mean I guess they could always do Jurassic Park in SPACE, for some horrible contrived reason). All in all it was a decent date afternoon for the wife and I, with a good use of the free movie tickets I got for being awesome at work back in 2019.
Isabella Sermon, the girl who played Maisie, definitely DESERVES better.
Hope she gets better roles and better material to work with.
I just saw this last night. I couldn’t agree with you more, and I’m so sad about it.
No joke, this made me want a bag dinosours so bad... Anything to fill the void...
Your opinion is yours but I loved the movie simple
Let me ask this, does communication devices fail at any point of time?
It happened in every part so far
no it's not it was actually really good. You're just being synical.
no, the plot was messy and i couldn’t tell what was happening half the time
I'm typing this message as I'm watching this ass movie. Once I get home, I'm watching Disaster Artist and some "artsy" film to bring my iq back up. I can take stupid movies like Fast and Furious but I can't when a stupid movie tries to be smart. They would have been better off with the plot being the dinosaurs invade NYC and they have to fight them in a war to take it back. Saving private Ryan meets Jurassic park
I disagree
Dino-soar was so bad, it alone deserved a thumbs up :-D
It T. Rex my heart!
So it's basically everything everyone was dreading since the first Jurassic World was announced.
💯💯💯💯
Haven't seen the movie because the trailers didn't make it look like it was worth the over-inflated gas prices to drive to my theater that's 2 miles away and watch it.
Does it have dinosaurs?
Cool. Then I don't really care about side stories. I want to see carnage. Chaos. Nonsense. Whatever you call it. To be enertetained.
And, sadly, this is all you need to entertain people nowadays. :/
@@skippychurch2965???
Honestly by my 5th hard cider my jaw was still hanging at just how fucking bad this movie is. Like so bad I couldn't process how bad it was even with way too much alcohol. People got paid a bunch of money for this shit.
It should have just been titled "Jurassic Park: Inexplicable".
So bad.
I actually thought it was a really good movie.
I loved it thanks to all the critical bashing it got from critics. My expectations were lowered. Of course it's no classic like Jurassic Park was. None of the sequels are. It's a fun, entertaining popcorn movie. Of course there's a plot, just nothing overly sophisticated or original, but it serves to bring a rousing fun ride for fans. Some people overthink things. There's a place for movies like this as well as stunning, fresh originals like Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
Jurassic isn't about popcorn. It's about ideas and people. Have you even read Crichton novel ?
@@innermostlayers6865 Umm, about ideas and people? No dinosaurs? Yes, I read both Crichton novels. . That's one reason I was disappointed with The Lost World. . The book was so much better. .
I'll give you that the first Jurassic is a classic, not just because of dinos and groundbreaking CGI, but because of the greater story of characters and ideas. But it was a huge summer blockbuster money maker. A popcorn movie with more substance. All of the sequels focus on the popcorn, more dinos, bigger dinos and cashing in on it. The ideas are pretty much the same and are just there with a couple of tweaks to bring a little something new to each tread thru the formula.
Watched it last night, what a waste of money
Spared no expense.
Save your money and your image of the franchise. It was worse than the crystal skull!
🤣🤣🤣
I just hate watched this with my cousin (we’re both huge jurassic park fans and loathe jurassic world in general).
1) the story was a first draft summary. Im current writing a novel and im in the summary phase. This movie dialogue and plot are the equivalents of my thought vomit summary. My cousin and i tried to break down everything that pissed us off for at least an hour and are still not done.
2) sam neill is delicious. He stopped aging at about 50 and is so damn handsome (i had to hold onto something i liked about the film lol)
I thought it was at least better than Fallen Kingdom.
….That’s not saying much
Watched this literally hours ago. Only things I remember are like 2 cool looking shots and the 1984 joke
There is one good thing that came from this film...
...The Prime Rib Burger at Carl's Jr.
"Jurassic World Dominion is very bad"
I can't wait to walk out of the theater and say that I enjoyed this movie
What is this "sense of wonder" tism?
I'm completely lost as to why so many people seem to hate the movie. Granted, I'm not the biggest JP fan (the originals kinda traumatized me as a child actually ha) so maybe my expectations were just lower. But saying that the characters aren't characters?? That there is no plot?? Sounds more like you personally didn't like the plot and so are saying it didn't exist. The one story gripe I had was that they had too many side plots going on at the beginning, but everything came together in the end, and it all made sense. They maybe could've cut part of the section where Owen and Claire meet the pilot, but skipping that would bring up the question of how the hell they knew where to go and how to find a ride. And how are the characters not characters? They aren't one-note (at least, most of them aren't). So what if the villain is predictable and the heroes have a bit of plot armor? The heroes are also experts at surviving around dinosaurs, so it actually makes sense for them to be able to escape sticky situations. And the acting was fantastic. Even the young girl did a pretty good job, and that's very unusual for me to say. I'm glad I didn't read reviews before going or I might've skipped out on what was genuinely a very good movie to me.
Are you American ? 😂
No one even mentions anything about the fact that dinosaurs are walking around in Sub-Zero temperatures
Was there ever any doubt?
The movie was great, a great way to end the franchise, the only downside is we did not get to see old dinos like classic raptors and spino. But a lot of old and new dinosaurs return and the movie is just downright incredibly. For all the negative reviews don't listen to them, I've been a fan ever since the first movie and this was a great way to end the jurassic movies!
The only "good" thing this kind of movie has, is that it reminds me of how invaluable the original one was, is and will always be. Examples range from this absolute trainwreck, to Star Wars ST, Star Trek rEmAkE, and all the "mOdErN rEmAkEs" out there.
This "movie" reminded me to go watch Jurassic Park again, like how "Sequel Trilogy" made me appreciate the original and prequels once more.
I appreciate all the Jurassic Park Jurassic World movies and not all the modern remakes are bad I think critics are just too harsh on the movie
💯💯💯💯
Soooo true.
Saw the movie last night. Your review was spot on. No plot. No meaningful dialogue. No soul. Pointless dinosaur immersion. So sad if this is the end. Glad I still have Jurassic Park on Blu-ray. Must watch tonight to restore my love of dinos again.
Was it Red Letter Media that said that the movies that the original films these decades-later reboots, sequels, etc. are based on had props that supported the plot. Now the plot serves the recognizable props from the originals.
Thanks for the review. I'll be passing on this.
Absolutely terrible. How do you screw up this formula that badly.
As a BIG Jurassic Park fan I couldn't even finish Dominion, it was that bad. I felt like stopping the movie just 15 minutes in. It just didn't catch my interest at all and it never got better. The original Jurassic Park was a master piece. The lost world was a good movie that kept some of the magic and had it's moments. JP3 was a good watch, but failed to reach it's potential. Jurassic world was a good watch as it kept a lot of what worked in the original JP. Fallen Kingdom was awful and Dominion was even worse than FK. Wow. Such a shame to have your franchise ruined by a bad director. Why couldn't they get Spielberg to do it?
Personally I think jwd was really good
The thing is, they went for a different approach, more of an action film so they focused less on other things while atleast keeping them here
But change isn't bad
The new action format for jwd isn't as good as the better story telling jp format, but its not bad either, its still good
No its not good. You are not thinking clearly.
@@mizer9510 he can think how he wants
@@animezilla4486 No he can't
@@mizer9510 you can’t change anyones opinions on whether something is good or bad. You have your opinion. Others have their opinion.
It is bad even as an action film if you just want a more action oriented Jurassic Park film the lost world and JP3 are good for that because the story is simple with tight writing and good acting while still being paced well for their respective run times.
Dominion fails to even be a competent action film its just random set pieces loosely connected to each with the bare minimum of attempt at a plot and practically no character development for anyone including the new characters, it is a B-movie with A-list actors and a bloated hollywood FX budget.
Nostalgia and references were the ONLY thing that held this movie together
The Antagonists…
The Uber Threatening antagonists…
Are an Army of Terrible Looking CGI Locust…
I almost laughed my Ass off in the theatre
The movie was shiiiiiiit. But no one should be surprised by that. Soulless is a great word for it.
A film will always be shit when it can write itself
Been looking forward to this movie, loved that it has some new dinos, but kinda disappointed by the plot that makes it doesnt feel like a jurassic park movie, and the plot armor of the main characters is overwhelming the dinos just wait and watch. There are some cringe moment like when maddie said "eyes on me" God damn it feels forced and weird 😂
Been a fan of jurassic park franchise since a lil kid, jurassic world is amazing but it goes downhill since the sequel
