Four years after Isla Nublar was destroyed, 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 human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures.
The third time is almost the charm with Jurassic World Dominion, the most engaging film of a recent trilogy of blockbusters that has commercially (if not creatively) revitalised the once-popular franchise.
Perhaps wisely, this grand finale leans heavily on the audience’s nostalgic associations with the series, bringing back Jurassic Park’s Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill for one last harrowing confrontation with carnivorous dinosaurs.
The result is a picture with gripping sequences and clever byplay, even if there’s a sense that it’s merely repeating past strengths, only not quite as ingeniously.
