![]() I also didn't see a scratch on any of them. Humans being assaulted time after time and yet showing no fatigue. I was hanging in there throughout with a new dinosaur attack every three minutes, and velociraptors going at fifty miles per hour and not getting tired. Granted, this is an empty headed summer movie, it could still have been done with some serious thought. Others have already talked about the issues I have. (1 viewing, opening Thursday UltraScreen )īefore I went to this film (because my Grandson is nuts about this series of films) I read one newspaper review. And while the second is highly flawed, it's still entertaining and filled with tension and suspense. I am so disappointed this is what they gave us for their self-proclaimed "epic conclusion of the Jurassic era." Especially after Fallen Kingdom left us with such an exciting cliffhanger, the chaos that awaits the people of the world when dinosaurs are unleashed upon them. I don't think it's poor CGI but something about it doesn't feel right. ![]() As for the dinosaur effects, at times the animatronic dinosaurs look like toys. It's even sadder when you realize it's worse than what it copied in every way. I won't say which one, but I'm baffled they went this route. And one thing I couldn't believe, the climax action sequence is straight-up copied from one of the previous movies. It's only been a few hours and I can remember maybe a couple cool moments. All of the action scenes are forgettable. I had 8 hours of sleep last night and drank a Red Bull, yet I was struggling to stay awake. So why such a harsh score? Because this movie, which is the definition of a popcorn flick here to entertain us, is unbelievably boring. But that wasn't the case for the majority of the movie. Some parts were so bad they made me cringe or roll my eyes. In Dominion, you don't feel any kind of magic. They feel earned and elevate everything after. I compare it to Stranger Things, when the stories converge and the crew is finally together, those moments are so impactful and exciting. And the moment when the different characters come together falls completely flat. Or maybe it's because every single one is uninteresting. On top of that, they did a poor job of balancing so many storylines with different characters. ![]() You could replace dinosaurs with any scary creatures and it would make little difference to the plot. Imagine watching Taken but Liam Neeson has to watch out for dinosaurs. The majority of the storylines are tangentially related at best, completely unrelated at worst. But everything leading up to that, the story, dialogue and themes, were all focused on dinosaurs. The original Jurassic Park barely had any for the first hour. And I don't just mean they are barely onscreen. I'm baffled by how little focus is on dinosaurs. If I were to list out all the things this movie focuses on, dinosaurs would be fifth or sixth, behind multiple storylines that range from bland to useless. And you realize the movie was as a wonderful and full of quality content as a dino fart. After 80% of the movie is finished and we have gone over the revisiting our "favourite" Jurassic characters and our classic Jurassic scenes phase, the predictable ending occurs. Zero imagination when writing the script. The story is dumb and their evil plan so on the nose it is humorous. You can tell them apart easily by looking at what theyre wearing and whether its a rich straight white guy. Meanwhile we meet two new types of characters, a) those who are just inherently evil b) those who do evil stuff but are really good and moral. Big problem all of a sudden, slow moving dino watching someone or breathing around them, then dino gives chase, uff! They barely escaped but escape they did! It is so dull and predicatable. Its always exactly as it has been in every Jurassic film. Also EVERY SINGLE tight spot they find themselves in with dinosaurs is same formula. For some reason they believed fans want to see a repeat of 1st movie and its characters instead of a new quality story and interesting content. This movie consists mostly of us watching previously known characters doing whatever theyre doing now, meandering nowhere plot wise, while getting in random tight spots.
