Jurassic World: Dominion (Colin Trevorrow, 2021) Movie • Page 28

Ugh

 

Like I just hope that means we will get 1 good movie some point in the near future. Give me a horror/sci fi themed spin off!

 

Jurassic Park. In Space.

Shout out to Dino Crisis 3.

 

Cool that it crossed $1 billion, but I was letdown by this film. Haven’t seen it since theaters and probably won’t.

 

It’s bad. I will say while the locust plot is unnecessary and throw away it’s at least a cool design and works for me in the creepy factor.

 

Why do they introduce Claire like a Jedi?

 

Dr. Wu getting saved at the end on the promise of making things better after being partially responsible for the chaos in every movie is really something considering the way the fourth movie punished the babysitter for being on her phone too much.

 

Is Jurassic Park the only series where virtually everyone agrees what the best film in the series is?

 

hmm...

i'd say so, and I think the Matrix would get a resounding vote for the first as well.
Jaws feels too easy, are there people that don't think Raiders is the best Indiana Jones film?

 

With IJ I think it’s what you were introduced to first. My dad showed me Temple of Doom before Raiders so I have more nostalgia for it and I prefer it.

 

The Last Crusade is the best one.

 

Everything about this movie pissed me off. The legacy characters were used in such a weird way that their performances felt jarring.

 

The more I've thought about this, the more I'm confused at his whole "redemption" arc. Dude has been responsible for tons of the catastrophic events throughout the first five movies and directly involved with even more in Camp Cretaceous, and yet he's still helping someone create ecological disasters in the sixth movie before he shows any remorse whatsoever... He pretty much doesn't even acknowledge how many people have died from all of the dinosaurs he's helped create and he definitely doesn't acknowledge the fact that, you know, dinosaurs are now roaming the earth. We're supposed to be happy that he created and solved the locust problem within the same movie, I guess?

I know the implication is that "now he's using his powers for good", in a way, but it does feel quite flimsy and like he gets let off the hook.

 

Def some folks that prefer Temple of Doom, and while that film is fun, the answer is absolutely Raiders

 

They even have him in the field at the end smiling like a man reborn.

That character never made sense. He just seemed like the scientist who happened to be standing there when they talked in the first film, only for him to become the overarching link. The movies were always very clear about the villains because of how gruesome their deaths were, but somehow Dodgson is a bigger villain in this films' logic. Since they kept making new dinosaurs, basic screenwriting logic would have had him make the ultimate dinosaur in this film, only for it to kill him using the special skills it has from his DNA splicing.

I didn't even understand why Biosyn was doing two things at once. If you are going to become filthy rich from the locust scheme, why risk housing all these dinosaurs, which have proven time and time again to be impossible to house? They are literally employing the guy who said it was going to happen in the first film.

I probably hated Jurassic World the most (some of the most flagrant product placement outside of parodies of product placement) but this was really bad. I don't really believe in the "X destroyed my childhood" but seeing what has happened to Star Wars, The Terminator, and Jurassic Park is really something to behold.

 

The Matrix and Jaws are good examples, but I think some people might like the deconstruction aspects of the newest Matrix.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is the best of the series in terms of the Indiana Jones formula, but The Last Crusade is more fun.

 

At least Star Wars as a galaxy to play around in. Jurassic park and Terminator are just running in circles

 

This part of the plot is something where you can probably make some sense out of their scheme if you try hard enough, but really it was just so convoluted that it's not even worth thinking about.

Just the fact that Biosyn had sole rights to all of this genetic technology and dinosaur DNA and then a bunch of giant locusts show up and eat everything besides Biosyn-brand crops which already existed BEFORE the appearance of the locusts.......is probably the most idiotic, obvious "scheme" they possibly could have come up with. Like, the plot to expose them shouldn't have even existed because it would have been so obvious that they were the ones responsible that no one would have had to even speak up to the authorities.

And yeah, I also never really understood what Dr. Malcolm was even doing at Biosyn to begin with. I guess he was supposed to lecture all of the students about being responsible with the genetic engineering as a sort of cover-up? It seems weird to bring in a celebrity to speak at your facility when you already know he is outspoken and opposed to everything you are doing lol.

 

My eyes glaze over and I go into a fugue state when I see multiple-paragraph posts in a thread for this movie lol

 

I mean, there is 2.5 hours worth of confusing and bad creative decisions in this movie. Two paragraphs to sum that up doesn't even begin to cover the disappointment.

 

That's fair, and this isn't an insult, I just can't muster up the energy to care that much to even dissect it lol

 

hahaha oh no, I agree. It's more just lingering thoughts where I realize "man, that sucked too."

 

The movie made a billion dollars, which means its style and filmmaking techniques aren't going away. It is important to discuss, and more importantly, reveal some of the horrors of the film for people who might be more casual.

 

Knock yourselves out!

 

I need to know why my brain believes the CGI in the original more than these pieces of shit.
