Dominion takes place four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar. Dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether humans will remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history's most fearsome creatures.
Stars: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern
Jurassic world domain. Things, of course, started with Steven Spielberg's 1993 Jurassic Park. That was followed by Spielberg's 1997 sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and then 2001's Jurassic Park III, directed by Joe Johnston. At the time, many fans probably thought it was the end of the series. But 14 years later, everything changed. Jurassic World is the most Jurassic movie of all Jurassic movies. It takes the structure of the first film, a theme park run amok, and combines it with the latest fantasy in the franchise, finally revealing what a fully functioning dinosaur theme park looks like. It is John Hammond's vision come true. The result, however, is a mixed bag, because for everything Jurassic World does to mimic the original movie so well, it makes two or three mistakes along the way.
Overall, Jurassic World is less like a roller coaster and more like a pinball machine. Which can be fun - pinball is fun! - but it's also chaotic and often without a cohesive story. At a minimum, once the Indominus Rex breaks loose, the movie is mostly about stopping it and how each of the characters plays a role in that. But even those roles are confusing, as there's basically a power struggle on one side, a rescue mission on the other, and 20,000 parkgoers just sitting there uncomfortably while a killer dinosaur rampages through the island.
With too many stories and characters to go around, you don't really end up caring about any of them enough to have any real impact. Instead, the film seems more focused on including as much information as possible. Some of it is cool, like the underwater Mosasaurus that returns at the end, but most of it just seems weird. The perfect example is Claire, arguably the main character of the film, who appears on screen a lot but is treated as such an afterthought that the director lets her run around in high heels for the entire film. That made for a huge story at the time of the movie's release, but it's also the perfect metaphor for Jurassic World as a whole.
