By the way, if you wanna watch the Prologue and Battle At Big Rock short I mentioned, here's the links. Seriously, this is what the movie should have been more like. Jurassic World Prologue: czcams.com/video/NkEU6fC_nhY/video.html Battle At Big Rock: czcams.com/video/C7kbVvpOGdQ/video.html
8:06 Andre the thing with the Jurassic films is that the events of each one happens on the year of its release. If the movie is released on 2018 (Fallen Kingdom) then what you see happens (or happened earlier or latter) on that a year that's why it's odd.
The plot really should've been about the social impact of dinosaurs. Imagine if the story focused on dinosaurs overtaking half of Maine; people ran in fear or died, raptors in a small town, a T-rex through a major metro with a slight nod to Godzilla. People blaming Claire and Owen for what happened, maybe going into this deserted area to rescue the girl who left on her own.
@@vernedmonds7498 well you should say producer cause the studio has the power to say yeah or no. They could say looks good but let's tweak it a bit, the studio has more power then writers and directors sadly
@@AlexMartinez-gv7hy Understandable. It's all about money. I waited a long time for this film as us all and I'm just alittle let down with it. I've never been more vocal about a film then this. I was afraid to say stuff about other films just in case I might run into these people or meet the people... but this right here... smh. It needs help.
@@vernedmonds7498 I'll be honest I wasn't expecting a plot about how the dinosaurs are affecting the world at large main because that's a plot that works better as a show, it can take the time to explore it more.
They lowkey should have written DeWanda’s character as Ian Malcolm’s daughter from JP2. They could’ve framed it as she gave up on gymnastics due to injury in her teenage/college years, went into the Air Force, lost contact with her dad, then got out of the military and became a smuggler/mercenary, eventually crossing paths with the new cast and reuniting with her dad.
Nah, that's just ludicrous. No one cares about that girl. The plot should have evolved around the dinos and humans failing to coexist with one another, and the dinos attacking civvies throughout the US city by city. What a waste of a film franchise. There's no need to introduce a selfish, stupid teenager with parenting problems. She was a spoilt brat which irritated the audience, and was somehow supposed to help others relate to her??? If she died, the audience would cheer!!
When Andre started talking about DeWanda Wise's character and how she's not Kelly Malcolm, I immediately rememberd Jurassic Park: How It Should Have Ended, where, at the end, Ray Arnold (Samuel L. Jackson) is revealed to be alive and with both arms and Ellie Sattler is like, "Wait, you have both arms?" and Arnold says, "Yeah, why shouldn't I?" and she says, "Well, I saw a severed black arm in the shed, so..." and he answers, "So you just assumed that it was mine?"
If anything DeWanda's character was a hint to Ray Arnold, especially with similar quotes. Ray Arnold, "Hold on to your butts." Kayla, "Eveyone hold on to someone." Or was it, "Everybody hold on to somebody?" Idk, but I thought they had interesting similar quotes.
after reading a good number of Crichton's novels, I want to give this discussion point, the point of Jurassic Park isn't about the dinosaurs, or about their scientific accuracy in the novels. the Point is about the worries of Unchecked Science gone rampant. the dinosaurs are just a medium for the horrible things that could go. instead of dinosaurs, the subject matter could be about genetically engineered roaches that feed on radiation but become hazardous to the world around them when they spread too far beyond control, or about Mosquitoes who are engineered to carry a super virus. the real danger within the novel Jurassic park is about the horror that could happen with unchecked, unrestrained genetic science. (edited)
It's more than just that. It's using scientific knowledge for the sake of profit and merchandise. That's what the park represented, manipulating nature and technology to bring back popular extinct animals in order to create a grand tourist attraction. And of course something on such a scale goes wrong due to human flaw. Crichton was very specific with the ideas he chose for Jurassic Park. You can't simply use genetically engineered roaches or mosquitoes in this case.
A film about mosquitoes would never have captured the hearts and imaginations of the millions of people Jurassic Park did. You can't at this point make the franchise about locusts and cloned little girls and deny the importance of dinosaurs to the franchise and it's customer base.
More importantly, this movie fails Crichton's themes. This movie sets up with the premise "we screwed up playing God and now we have to live with the dinosaurs" but resolves the actual main plot with "we screwed up playing God with locusts but because this other lady played God with cloning we don't have to live with the locusts". Unchecked, unrestrained genetic science ends up being the solution to the problem. Though I believe the locust scheme and basic film characterization of the character are in line with book Dodgson, Crichton was somewhat concerned himself with exploring dinosaurs in the world (mystery in the opening about the escaped compys, ticking clock about the raptors on the ship) and would have probably gladly written a book where dinosaurs were in the mainland.
I think the funny part is when this Giant Freddy Krueger-Like Dinosaur just went up a Deer and just slapped it away like *”MOVE IT BAMBI IT’S MY FOOD NOW!”*
Agreed with this review 100%. I described this movie as “Messy Fun.” There’s some very fun and entertaining/intriguing ideas present throughout but it’s so overstuffed that it feels like 2 different films clashing with each other. Overall, enjoyable but definitely a little disappointed especially after the ending of Fallen Kingdom, the Battle at Big Rock short and the Dominion prologue offered so much potential of what could’ve been a very great finale of this “Saga.”
I really want to see Blue driving a Ford F-150 Raptor, against Dom, all while being chased by a t-rex. "You got heart? Because we got family." Blue: "Raaaah!!"
And it's literally something that I can see today's corporations trying, because time and time again they prioritize profit over human health and environmental impact. If you think it's unrealistic... than you're living in a fantasy world, honestly. Plus this is totally something Biosyn from the novels would do.
The locust were unnecessary. The "ecological disaster" could've been just the fact that the dinosaurs are invasive species on the world's fragile environment. That way the plot is simpler and dinosaur focused.
Dinosaurs could never cause an ecological disaster on the same scale as locusts. They're too big, too easily contained or monitored, and they breed too slowly. The locusts are small, they breed quickly, they can cover area quickly, and they can compete for the same food sources that humans can. Dinosaurs alone were never going to threaten the survival of humanity. But a engineered plague of locusts would, it's a more realistic threat and one that is in line with the themes of the franchise, especially the Crichton novels. The plot is also simpler because it gives a clear goal for the heroes.
@@jackhummer8344 That's fair, but I think they could have written a story which happens right after Fallen Kingdom. That way, the world would still be in a chaotic state and the story would actually be about dinosaurs in the wild (for real this time).
What I find strange is that Colin Trevorrow said this was the Jurassic movie he most wanted to make. He said “I have a dinosaur movie that I’ve always wanted to see, and it took two movies to earn it”, which is odd, because half of this movie has nothing to do with dinosaurs.
You realize the locust are dinosaurs right. At least as how the term is in the film universe. The story has always been about genetic manipulation and it came full circle
The problem with the movie is that you can actually cut out all the scenes involving the dinosaurs and the original cast and it would still hold up as its own movie. Their presence served as nothing to affect the main plot whatsoever.
I am surprised you didn't promote a crossover with Jurassic world and Dino Charge. That is the crossover we all need! Maybe add in Fast and the Furious too... make the whole gang power rangers... there are enough energems for them!
I appreciate that this film canonized the two Jurassic Park sequels. The first Jurassic World went out of its way to avoid any reference to them. (With the exception of a single spinosaurus skeleton which could have belonged to any spinosaurus.) The second Jurassic World mentioned Site B in passing. This one was finally like, "Yeah, those two movies happened. We're sorry about the breakup but they get back together."
In Jurassic world 1, the 2 kids literally went to the original Jurassic Park and git the jeep to escape. That little brother even saw the thermal binoculars from JP 1. Indominus rex destroyed the og park to kill Owen and Claire.
I'm almost suspicious this is why the movie takes place after a timeskip. They need to contrive a reason why a lot of these guys wouldnt just be massacared before they could have established a foothold anywhere people are, so they just skip ahead. Ironically, i think thats why the locust plot feels weird. I actually love the impliciation that a big genetics company is obviously doing more practical stuff than reviving animals for parks vs more practical things and can screw up even that, but introducing the problem so immediate feels jarring.
@Latest ObsessionI think that Dino is a little girl's playing with in the park is supposed to be a Archaeopteryx I know the lady from the OG crew was looking at one in a glass enclosure at biosense and she said its name but I can't remember
Will probably skip in theaters and catch it when it hits streaming. I adore the Jurassic Park franchise, it's what inspired me to get into digital effects, but a lot of the 'I have questions' you had, I think, are what's keeping me from rushing out to see this one like I have all the others. It kinda sounds like another "We don't know what to do with this franchise, but we do know how to market nostalgia with this franchise." Also: Jurass and the Furious?
You should absolutely see it in theaters. I've been a semi-hardcore JP fan since I saw TLW in theaters. I almost wasn't going to see Dominion in theaters because of the critics, but I took my parents to see it for Father's Day and we all loved it. If you're the type of person who likes to complain about things, then I guess you won't like it, but as someone who hasn't hated any of the Jurassic films thus far (both times I watched Fallen Kingdom, I moderately enjoyed it, though less so the second time because I don't think it has much replay value), this has been, without a doubt, my favorite Jurassic film since The Lost World. If you think all of the sequels thus far have been garbage, then you're harder to please then me and probably won't like it.
The plot is Willy nilly, couldn’t make up which one to focus on, but I enjoyed the film. Because of the OG Characters and the Returning/new Dinosaurs. And the action are thrilling in my opinion. And the chemistry between the OGs and New Trio are fantastic.
I don't know man, I was excited to see Grant, Sattler and Malcolm reunited for a new adventure after 30 years but then none of them were given anything interesting to say or do throughout the whole movie. Grant was practically just an oblivious spectator for two and a half hours.
@@MegaMr46 That's fair. I've defended Lost World and JP3 as well. Malcolm and Grant were the experienced leads and had relevant roles. They weren't necessary at all in Dominion other than appearing for fan service, at least I thought so.
Love that comment, it says so much about World Dominion so concisely, "...needs to be a little more focused, with a lot less locusts." An FFJurassic would be great, I would sign that petition.
The action scenes are sick asf. The acting wasnt bad in fact pretty great imo. Im glad they wherent thrown in as cameos but given actual plot. Im glad you pointed that out when other people just crapping on this movie without talking about the good things.
Sick... but the amount of times the atrociraptors hit objects makes you question whether these dinosaurs are invincible and could still run after breaking a bunch of bones.
Completely agree with your thoughts on the film. I feel like the ending of Fallen Kingdom kind of promised us something that wasn't delivered in Dominion. I think many fans were expecting a feature film with the tone of Battle at Big Rock but instead it feels like that movie already happened, and this is what happens after that.
The plot is a strong return to the themes of Michael Crichton. In my opinion, it is the strongest plot the World films have had. Oh, and the locusts have prehistoric genes, so they ARE connected to the dinosaurs. 👍
@@TwiStedReality1313 Jurassic Park has never been just about dinosaurs and Malcolm literally said in the last film that the unleashing of genetic power was not going to stop with the de-extinction of the dinosaurs. The locusts represent one of the worst case scenarios of uncontrollable generic engineering and they are a far more realistic threat to humanity than dinosaurs.
@@thepaleocollector148 That's entirely besides the point, the problem is that the movie should've been centered around dinosaurs running amok in the world because that's what all the trailers and the previous film promised, none of this locust crap. Cloned prehistoric locusts has nothing to do with dinosaurs in the real world, and if they had to include it at all it should've been a small side story.
@@domesticus2958 And then everyone would have complained that it was exactly the same as all the others in the series, and that it never tried anything new. 😂 I mean, in the end, the bugs weren’t even a third of the movie. There were a LOT of dinosaurs in this film. It’s just that they were portrayed as realistic animals instead of monsters for the most part.
I actually really liked Dominion I mean it wasn't quite perfect but it was still pretty good I wish they kept some of the deleted scenes like the scene of the original T-Rex and gigantosaurus fight how the original rexy died as well as rexy being captured at that Drive-In
So accurate. They should have merged the two plots together and included the short film and prologue to fill in the extra time. E.g. Considering we have dinos walking around with us causing chaos wouldn't it make sense to have dinos killing our food supply? - this food dilema could just be part of the already occuring chaos. Then they could say biosin are trying to control and keep the dinosaurs alive but are secretly trying to have total artifical control over our ecosystem - they do this by exploiting the dinos and having them kill all our food. In the real movie the motive for the locusts isn't so clear other than just "oh it means they get more money because people have to buy food from them", this alternate plot would have a clearer secret intention for biosin and one which links way better to the big dilema of the whole film: the dinos impact on the environment. Biosin want environmental control whilst humanity is figuring out how to live in an environment with dinos. Having this plot instead of the weird locusts would flow on nicely from the short film and prologue which in this alternate universe, would have been shown at the start of the film. This way the two plots would have been merged and not fighting and we would get the "humans and dinos figuering out how to co-exist" film we all expected but this film would also have an engaging plot of people trying to peronsally gain from the situation by explotiation and beurocracy. This would also make the film be societally reflective just as the real film tried to be in parts.
I kinda want these movies to be like those TV documentary shows about nice people taking care of animals at a zoo and all the little dramas that happen and nobody gets eaten.
This movie is clearly a Flintstones and Jetsons prequel, proving that the rich go up and create the Jetsons futuristic world and those who cant afford the go up end up living with the dinos creating the Flintstones. Now i know what y'all going to say what about the movie the Jetsons meet the Flintstones, Elroy creates that time machine.... no just a teleporter.
The fight at the end didn't even feel earned. Like the Giganotosaurus was just living there, and got straight up murdered for just being a predator. It's like they put it in just to have a fight and not even a very good one at that. Like nothing really topped the fight in the first Jurassic World and that's a shame.
I think the locust plot works because of how much of Fallen Kingdom was talking about the genetic power that cloning dinosaurs represents. Yes, dinos in the world is a huge issue. So is the fact that a company can use that same science to create prehistoric bugs and engineer them to cripple the world's food supply. I'd even argue that the two plots do go hand in hand because really we should only have to deal with one world ending crisis at a time. Don't make the locusts eat everything, especially while we don't have a fix for people being eaten by dinosaurs
I think alot of us are on the same page with this movie. So called fans are saying critics are wrong for bashing this film, but after seeing it... can you blame them? 🤷🏾♂️ Jurassic Park is my favorite film ever and this movie just didn't cut it for the last of the series. Smh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.
@@AnimeBronx Can't argue with you because everyone is entitled to their own opinion.. but yeah this was not the best by a long shot. I can't keep quiet or bias anymore. Smh.
@@french_toast223 I'm not nitpicking at all. I said I'm not being biased anymore. As I said, "It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either." If you didn't like it fully that's you.
This movie didn't angered me, it disappointed me. They went through all the trouble of getting the dinosaurs out of Isla Nublar and into the world, only to go back to yet another facility that goes haywire. I'm so glad producer Frank Marshall said the franchise is going on hold, because I'm officially done with the Jurassic Franchise, and I'm definitely never gonna watch movies directed and/or written by Colin Trevorrow ever again.
Funny, because this is-by far-my favorite Jurassic film since The Lost World. I thoroughly enjoyed Dominion. And I've been a semi-hardcore JP fan since I saw TLW in theaters.
@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou that's fine, don't let me rain on your parade. And full disclosure, I tried to like the JW movies but alas, they were clearly not for me.
I started getting back into this channel again and thank you so much Andre for staying the same in a good way. Like I can always count on the uploads to be fantastic and fun.
All these critics and CZcamsrs hating on it but I liked it and so did my mom. Good to see u like it as usual Andre. I wish more people had your patience and kindness.
they could have even explored more how mashing up animals from three different ages - so they never existed together - would have led to new interactions; who's predator, who's prey? so much potential
A little more focus and a lot less locust is the perfect description for this Andre. I liked it and thought it was ok. I just feel like it could’ve been better.
Can I just say that I LOVE these particular type of movie reviews. You are thr funniest Move Reviewer on CZcams Andre. 💜 It takes thr sting out of a movie I want to see falling short. At least I know Andre will make me feel better.
Andre your thoughts on this film were similar to mine! Too be honest, it was more like three to four plots. The Legacy characters had theirs with the genetic mutation and locust. Then the newer cast had Mazzy or Masie however you say her name... get kidnapped along with baby Blue (Beta) for their DNA and connection to all of this. Now we have a story of Massie finding out whom she is and where she belongs. Then we gotta make sure Beta returns home to Blue. Then it's the genetic mutation story and so fourth... so I guess it's three plots. Anyway, Massie's part was okay at first but it lingered way too long! These plots started to divert from the essence of the Jurassic series. And although in books they refer to the genetic mutation with bugs, I just think the movie over did it.
I feel like Biosyn Genetics plot was supposed to exemplify a bigger picture that the company's objectives are in genomics research which are to be "seeking groundbreaking pharmacological and agronomic applications." Pharmaceutically, they could use the genomics of dinosaurs and agronomically use the genomics of the locusts. The idea was to ultimately control the world's medicine and food. It's just that the movie shouldn't have really focused so much on the locusts for a movie where dinosaurs are supposed to be the main focus. I think Biosyn Genetics would be a fantastic villainous organisation for several different movies in-universe if it weren't just about dinosaurs, but I just think maybe thi isn't quite the right franchise to presume other applications without having the core focuses.
"Boss Hogg dinosaur" Had to wait as I only saw this yesterday. I liked the film more than JP3 and Fallen Kingdom, but it did feel a bit like two or three films smooshed together.
I think the reason they had the locust story was to bring in the bad guy who hired Nedry in the first JP movie. I enjoyed JW3. There were some times where I was thinking stuff like "There's no way they could outrun that raptor." but, overall, I'm glad to have another Jurassic movie.
Exactly! Disney's Star Wars Trilogy mirrors the Jurassic World Trilogy. 1st Movie: Capitalize on Nostalgia, 2nd Movie: Dark Game Changer, 3rd Movie: Overstuffed with References
I had good time watching Jurassic World: Dominion! I enjoyed the action scenes and story. Although I will say that it did feel like it was throwing all these different plots at once when I saw it in theaters. It didn’t ruin my overall experience with the film but it definitely did leave me feeling slightly overwhelmed with all the plot points they trying to throw at you.
I enjoyed it. It's always a bummer when you like a movie but then the general consensus from everyone else is that it's bad or disappointing. But it is what it is.
I feel the exact same way. I don't get all the hatred. I felt "meh" about JPIII and Jurassic World, and I enjoyed but didn't love _Fallen Kingdom._ In my opinion, Dominion is easily the most ambitious Jurassic film since the original and is tied with The Lost World (which kickstarted my JP fandom when I saw it in theaters) as my second-favorite film of the franchise.
Honestly, I've seen a lot of your movie reviews. I have to say this is the one that surprised me the most. You seem to always like the movie you review, yet this one goes down as my favorite. Did I see the movie? No. But to see you give a sort of opposition to what I've grown accustom to in your reviews speaks to my soul. It doesn't count as a reason why I haven't seen the movie, I actually watched your review for Thor Love and Thunder before seeing this one which left me thinking maybe it's impossible for you to see any qualms with any movie you have seen (u encouraged me to finally watch Gremlins 2.....). Thank you for proving me wrong.....
I’ve watched this movie twice and I kind of feel the same way. I feel like there are two main plots in this movie, the first one is Owen and Claire having to rescue Maisie after she’s kidnapped. The second is Alan and Ellie investigating the locusts. Both end up at Biosyn where Maisie was taken, and where the evidence for the locusts are. The plot does not revolve around the dinosaurs at all m, basically they’re just background and obstacles. The dinosaurs in this movie play more of a hey look what dinosaurs we haven’t seen in other movies before like giganotosaurus therizenosaurus and a few others the dinosaurs are basically just there and don’t play any major role in driving the plot at all.
A "Fast and Jurassic" movie would be a great lead-in to the world of "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs." (Also, the locusts sounds more like Critters than Gremlins to my ears.)
I totally agree, they really got away from the dinosaurs and the plot was basically about stopping the locusts before they destroy all the crops , I was expecting something similar to The Lost World but I guess it was done already.
I think the major issue for me was the obvious solution "people will adjust to the smaller dinosaurs who hide or are less intrusive, and any of the bigger troublemakers 100 pounds and up will be absolutely massacred on sight, because we dont even put up with native carnivores or territorial herbivores that already exist" doesnt leave a lot of ambiguity. No one gonna justify a carnosaur roaming Tex and being left alone without 5 morons in a pick up hunting em down.
If they made The Fast And The Jurassic, I would legit go back and actually watch the f&f movies. I haven’t actively avoided watching those movies, but I also haven’t not actively avoided watching those movies.
In Fallen Kingdom Ian Malcolm said this: 80 years ago, who could've predicted nuclear proliferation? But then, there it was. And now, we've got genetic power. So... How long is it gonna take for that to spread around the globe and, what's gonna be done with it? It ain't gonna stop with the de-extinction of the dinosaurs. The dangers of having genetic science being unleashed everywhere. Also the extended cut will have the prologue and Battle at Big Rock will be included in the special features.
I really , Really enjoyed it with the nods and them coming together after doing two different missions in it. It was a mini Avengers assemble scene. I give it a 8.5 out of 10
My issue is that the introductions to Clair and Owen were overall unnecessary for the movie. Clair's was 100% unnecessary because there is only a minor references to it later on, all of which added nothing to the movie. And Owen's opening only serves to show how the bad guys found them, which could have been done with Maisie's opening. Have her actually be seen by the bad guy and followed home. It can be explained that they don't take her because they are also looking for Blue and her potential child. Malcolm working at Biosyn makes zero sense. Malcolm has throughout the series spoken out against the technology being used. I could see him coming over to see what is going on, but Malcolm would not have been hired by Biosyn. Now, Zia, a dinosaur vet could have been. But, Zia doesn't get the OGs into Biosyn. So, there would need to be some work, but it could have been done better. Also, the plot armor was so strong with the main cast. Like there are times I am like, what? Not even a scratch?
If you want to watch awesome scientifically accurate portraits of dinosaurs with just enough amount of speculation watch Prehistoric Planet documentary.
This movie made me laugh so many times!! I think that’s why i was able to get passed the movie doing movie things. It’s kinda what we’re all here for! Seeing it on the big screen really was the best way to see this.
I could tell from the first trailer this was going to "Fast and Furious with Dinosaurs". It's the only franchise Universal has that's making money, why wouldn't Jurassic World follow that formula. Anyway, great review! This is the first video of yours that's popped up in my recommend feeds in a while. Cheers!
Lol, part we wanna tell a great story & if we make money SWEET part of movie 1. Then Studio saw cash..lol. I do think studios can do better with tying shows (especially this confined series) into it and get a better feel. I agree with Andre that we should have seen what happens after the dinosaurs get out...if anything make that a big event streaming series that will lead into this.
Man by far my biggest issue with this movie is that it's all just generic F&F level action with no real weight or consequences. They all barely get a scratch on em the entire time. Really takes you out of it and breaks the immersion when they never feel like they're in real danger and it's just to get to the next scene. In JP and TLW all characters felt in danger and some of them really got taken out even if they were a "good" person.
Yes! This! You’ve explained perfectly what I feel about this movie. I had a pretty good time with it, but I definitely see the huge flaws that this movie has. It’s basically the movie I expected to see based on the previous 2 and the last trailer: an action-packed popcorn flick with dino’s with no deep meaning whatsoever. Did I want to see the actual impact of the dinosaurs mixed with the humans and how that affected current day life? Of course, but I feel like people get way too upset about this movie not matching their expectations. Come on, it’s a movie, try and have a little fun with it.
By the way, if you wanna watch the Prologue and Battle At Big Rock short I mentioned, here's the links. Seriously, this is what the movie should have been more like.

the real danger within the novel Jurassic park is about the horror that could happen with unchecked, unrestrained genetic science. (edited)
It doesn't matter if the themes are there. Its how its executed which was done poorly in this film.
It's more than just that. It's using scientific knowledge for the sake of profit and merchandise. That's what the park represented, manipulating nature and technology to bring back popular extinct animals in order to create a grand tourist attraction. And of course something on such a scale goes wrong due to human flaw. Crichton was very specific with the ideas he chose for Jurassic Park. You can't simply use genetically engineered roaches or mosquitoes in this case.
A film about mosquitoes would never have captured the hearts and imaginations of the millions of people Jurassic Park did. You can't at this point make the franchise about locusts and cloned little girls and deny the importance of dinosaurs to the franchise and it's customer base.
More importantly, this movie fails Crichton's themes. This movie sets up with the premise "we screwed up playing God and now we have to live with the dinosaurs" but resolves the actual main plot with "we screwed up playing God with locusts but because this other lady played God with cloning we don't have to live with the locusts". Unchecked, unrestrained genetic science ends up being the solution to the problem. Though I believe the locust scheme and basic film characterization of the character are in line with book Dodgson, Crichton was somewhat concerned himself with exploring dinosaurs in the world (mystery in the opening about the escaped compys, ticking clock about the raptors on the ship) and would have probably gladly written a book where dinosaurs were in the mainland.
Moral of the story:
If you play God long enough...you get Locusts.
"do you want locusts?! because that's how you get locusts!"
Followed quickly by frogs, plague, and Jehovah's witnesses.
I think the funny part is when this Giant Freddy Krueger-Like Dinosaur just went up a Deer and just slapped it away like *”MOVE IT BAMBI IT’S MY FOOD NOW!”*
Agreed with this review 100%. I described this movie as “Messy Fun.” There’s some very fun and entertaining/intriguing ideas present throughout but it’s so overstuffed that it feels like 2 different films clashing with each other. Overall, enjoyable but definitely a little disappointed especially after the ending of Fallen Kingdom, the Battle at Big Rock short and the Dominion prologue offered so much potential of what could’ve been a very great finale of this “Saga.”
I really want to see Blue driving a Ford F-150 Raptor, against Dom, all while being chased by a t-rex. "You got heart? Because we got family." Blue: "Raaaah!!"
And throw in the t-1000 and rocky in there, that would be awesome 😎
@@alio6051 I dunno about the T-1000. However, I do think Robocop should be the long arm of the law. Rocky from Rocky V also has my vote.

Engineering mutant locusts to eat all the plants except the ones that you sell that are immune is a literal cartoon supervillain plot.
And it's literally something that I can see today's corporations trying, because time and time again they prioritize profit over human health and environmental impact. If you think it's unrealistic... than you're living in a fantasy world, honestly. Plus this is totally something Biosyn from the novels would do.
The locust were unnecessary. The "ecological disaster" could've been just the fact that the dinosaurs are invasive species on the world's fragile environment. That way the plot is simpler and dinosaur focused.
Yep, killing the locusts didn't solve anything for the new food shortage and economical crash.
Dinosaurs could never cause an ecological disaster on the same scale as locusts. They're too big, too easily contained or monitored, and they breed too slowly. The locusts are small, they breed quickly, they can cover area quickly, and they can compete for the same food sources that humans can. Dinosaurs alone were never going to threaten the survival of humanity. But a engineered plague of locusts would, it's a more realistic threat and one that is in line with the themes of the franchise, especially the Crichton novels. The plot is also simpler because it gives a clear goal for the heroes.
@@jackhummer8344 then ill go pay and see the movie locust world if thats the case...subplots should never take too much away from the main plot
Yooo if you liked this review you should check out my RANT for jurassic world dominion!!!
@@jackhummer8344 That's fair, but I think they could have written a story which happens right after Fallen Kingdom. That way, the world would still be in a chaotic state and the story would actually be about dinosaurs in the wild (for real this time).
What I find strange is that Colin Trevorrow said this was the Jurassic movie he most wanted to make. He said “I have a dinosaur movie that I’ve always wanted to see, and it took two movies to earn it”, which is odd, because half of this movie has nothing to do with dinosaurs.
It's still a true statement?
You realize the locust are dinosaurs right. At least as how the term is in the film universe. The story has always been about genetic manipulation and it came full circle
"I just want a crossover between Jurassic World and Fast and Furious"
Ark II: We got you boo
The problem with the movie is that you can actually cut out all the scenes involving the dinosaurs and the original cast and it would still hold up as its own movie. Their presence served as nothing to affect the main plot whatsoever.
only reason i remembered Dodgson.
“Dodgson, Dodgson WE GOT DODGSON HERE!!…see nobody cares.”
It turns out that we care just enough to barely remember him
I expect nothing less from Andre with the great crossover ideas, Fast and Jurassic let’s go Family &raptors!
Andre's idea for a crossover reminds me of "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs"
Deep cut...👏🏾👏🏾
I am surprised you didn't promote a crossover with Jurassic world and Dino Charge. That is the crossover we all need! Maybe add in Fast and the Furious too... make the whole gang power rangers... there are enough energems for them!

You get a brief scene that though it was because someone shoved fire in it's mouth.
I appreciate that this film canonized the two Jurassic Park sequels. The first Jurassic World went out of its way to avoid any reference to them. (With the exception of a single spinosaurus skeleton which could have belonged to any spinosaurus.) The second Jurassic World mentioned Site B in passing. This one was finally like, "Yeah, those two movies happened. We're sorry about the breakup but they get back together."
In Jurassic world 1, the 2 kids literally went to the original Jurassic Park and git the jeep to escape. That little brother even saw the thermal binoculars from JP 1. Indominus rex destroyed the og park to kill Owen and Claire.
@@jeevant.s2633 I'm talking about the sequels.
Gotta love how the last movie they literally say dinosaurs and humans can’t co exist only for one movie later to end on the exact opposite point lol.
I'm almost suspicious this is why the movie takes place after a timeskip. They need to contrive a reason why a lot of these guys wouldnt just be massacared before they could have established a foothold anywhere people are, so they just skip ahead.
Ironically, i think thats why the locust plot feels weird. I actually love the impliciation that a big genetics company is obviously doing more practical stuff than reviving animals for parks vs more practical things and can screw up even that, but introducing the problem so immediate feels jarring.

Will probably skip in theaters and catch it when it hits streaming. I adore the Jurassic Park franchise, it's what inspired me to get into digital effects, but a lot of the 'I have questions' you had, I think, are what's keeping me from rushing out to see this one like I have all the others. It kinda sounds like another "We don't know what to do with this franchise, but we do know how to market nostalgia with this franchise."
Also: Jurass and the Furious?
Jurass and the Furious has a ring to it 😆
Vin diesel being chased by a T-Rex?
Yep. I would watch that.
For family.
It's so Ludacris that it will make sense with how both Franchises have gotten.
I'm disappointed in the movie as well, but it is worth ten bucks to watch on the big screen.
You should absolutely see it in theaters. I've been a semi-hardcore JP fan since I saw TLW in theaters. I almost wasn't going to see Dominion in theaters because of the critics, but I took my parents to see it for Father's Day and we all loved it. If you're the type of person who likes to complain about things, then I guess you won't like it, but as someone who hasn't hated any of the Jurassic films thus far (both times I watched Fallen Kingdom, I moderately enjoyed it, though less so the second time because I don't think it has much replay value), this has been, without a doubt, my favorite Jurassic film since The Lost World. If you think all of the sequels thus far have been garbage, then you're harder to please then me and probably won't like it.
I still find it hilarious that the bad guy Corp is literally named BioSyn, little on the nose with that name don't ya think?
That name comes from the original Michael Crichton books.
Dodgson! We've got Dodgson here! See, nobody cares.
It's literally from the books.

The plot is Willy nilly, couldn’t make up which one to focus on, but I enjoyed the film. Because of the OG Characters and the Returning/new Dinosaurs. And the action are thrilling in my opinion. And the chemistry between the OGs and New Trio are fantastic.
I don't know man, I was excited to see Grant, Sattler and Malcolm reunited for a new adventure after 30 years but then none of them were given anything interesting to say or do throughout the whole movie. Grant was practically just an oblivious spectator for two and a half hours.
@@gunshotlagoon922 I respect your opinion because it’s different than mine, I defended Lost World and JP3 before this one, not because of Dialogue.
@@MegaMr46 That's fair. I've defended Lost World and JP3 as well. Malcolm and Grant were the experienced leads and had relevant roles. They weren't necessary at all in Dominion other than appearing for fan service, at least I thought so.

Bruh.. I was not expecting a Boss Hogg "I'll get you Duke Boys!!" Impression.. well done Sir
What’s sad, is the Camp Cretaceous cartoon will probably explore these concepts better than the film.
TV shows will always be better as long as they don't truncate it for shorter season sake.
But I do agree...
Did we finally get to see the fabled blind dinosaur, and the blind dinosaur's dog?
Love that comment, it says so much about World Dominion so concisely, "...needs to be a little more focused, with a lot less locusts." An FFJurassic would be great, I would sign that petition.
The action scenes are sick asf. The acting wasnt bad in fact pretty great imo. Im glad they wherent thrown in as cameos but given actual plot. Im glad you pointed that out when other people just crapping on this movie without talking about the good things.
Sick... but the amount of times the atrociraptors hit objects makes you question whether these dinosaurs are invincible and could still run after breaking a bunch of bones.
"Everybody wants to be Gremlins, but NOBODY wants to do GREMLINS!" 🤣
Completely agree with your thoughts on the film. I feel like the ending of Fallen Kingdom kind of promised us something that wasn't delivered in Dominion. I think many fans were expecting a feature film with the tone of Battle at Big Rock but instead it feels like that movie already happened, and this is what happens after that.
The plot is a strong return to the themes of Michael Crichton. In my opinion, it is the strongest plot the World films have had. Oh, and the locusts have prehistoric genes, so they ARE connected to the dinosaurs. 👍
@@TwiStedReality1313 The Dimetrodon, pteranodons, Quetzalcoatlus, Lystrosaurus, etc. aren’t dinosaurs either. Heck, Camp Cretaceous introduced Smilodon.
@@TwiStedReality1313 Jurassic Park has never been just about dinosaurs and Malcolm literally said in the last film that the unleashing of genetic power was not going to stop with the de-extinction of the dinosaurs. The locusts represent one of the worst case scenarios of uncontrollable generic engineering and they are a far more realistic threat to humanity than dinosaurs.
Yooo if you liked this review you should check out my RANT for jurassic world dominion!!!
@@thepaleocollector148 That's entirely besides the point, the problem is that the movie should've been centered around dinosaurs running amok in the world because that's what all the trailers and the previous film promised, none of this locust crap. Cloned prehistoric locusts has nothing to do with dinosaurs in the real world, and if they had to include it at all it should've been a small side story.
@@domesticus2958 And then everyone would have complained that it was exactly the same as all the others in the series, and that it never tried anything new. 😂 I mean, in the end, the bugs weren’t even a third of the movie. There were a LOT of dinosaurs in this film. It’s just that they were portrayed as realistic animals instead of monsters for the most part.
I actually really liked Dominion I mean it wasn't quite perfect but it was still pretty good I wish they kept some of the deleted scenes like the scene of the original T-Rex and gigantosaurus fight how the original rexy died as well as rexy being captured at that Drive-In
The next one has to be called Jurassic Garden. Awesome review Andre.
So accurate. They should have merged the two plots together and included the short film and prologue to fill in the extra time. E.g. Considering we have dinos walking around with us causing chaos wouldn't it make sense to have dinos killing our food supply? - this food dilema could just be part of the already occuring chaos. Then they could say biosin are trying to control and keep the dinosaurs alive but are secretly trying to have total artifical control over our ecosystem - they do this by exploiting the dinos and having them kill all our food. In the real movie the motive for the locusts isn't so clear other than just "oh it means they get more money because people have to buy food from them", this alternate plot would have a clearer secret intention for biosin and one which links way better to the big dilema of the whole film: the dinos impact on the environment. Biosin want environmental control whilst humanity is figuring out how to live in an environment with dinos. Having this plot instead of the weird locusts would flow on nicely from the short film and prologue which in this alternate universe, would have been shown at the start of the film. This way the two plots would have been merged and not fighting and we would get the "humans and dinos figuering out how to co-exist" film we all expected but this film would also have an engaging plot of people trying to peronsally gain from the situation by explotiation and beurocracy. This would also make the film be societally reflective just as the real film tried to be in parts.
I kinda want these movies to be like those TV documentary shows about nice people taking care of animals at a zoo and all the little dramas that happen and nobody gets eaten.
That's actually a decent plot. 🙂
This movie is clearly a Flintstones and Jetsons prequel, proving that the rich go up and create the Jetsons futuristic world and those who cant afford the go up end up living with the dinos creating the Flintstones. Now i know what y'all going to say what about the movie the Jetsons meet the Flintstones, Elroy creates that time machine.... no just a teleporter.

1:12 "I'M FREE - YAAARGH!" freakin' got me laughing my head off already!
The fight at the end didn't even feel earned. Like the Giganotosaurus was just living there, and got straight up murdered for just being a predator. It's like they put it in just to have a fight and not even a very good one at that. Like nothing really topped the fight in the first Jurassic World and that's a shame.
@Latest Obsession 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think the locust plot works because of how much of Fallen Kingdom was talking about the genetic power that cloning dinosaurs represents. Yes, dinos in the world is a huge issue. So is the fact that a company can use that same science to create prehistoric bugs and engineer them to cripple the world's food supply. I'd even argue that the two plots do go hand in hand because really we should only have to deal with one world ending crisis at a time. Don't make the locusts eat everything, especially while we don't have a fix for people being eaten by dinosaurs
I think alot of us are on the same page with this movie. So called fans are saying critics are wrong for bashing this film, but after seeing it... can you blame them? 🤷🏾♂️ Jurassic Park is my favorite film ever and this movie just didn't cut it for the last of the series. Smh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.
Nah. It was terrible.
@@AnimeBronx Can't argue with you because everyone is entitled to their own opinion.. but yeah this was not the best by a long shot. I can't keep quiet or bias anymore. Smh.

@@french_toast223 I'm not nitpicking at all. I said I'm not being biased anymore. As I said, "It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either." If you didn't like it fully that's you.
This movie didn't angered me, it disappointed me. They went through all the trouble of getting the dinosaurs out of Isla Nublar and into the world, only to go back to yet another facility that goes haywire. I'm so glad producer Frank Marshall said the franchise is going on hold, because I'm officially done with the Jurassic Franchise, and I'm definitely never gonna watch movies directed and/or written by Colin Trevorrow ever again.
Funny, because this is-by far-my favorite Jurassic film since The Lost World. I thoroughly enjoyed Dominion. And I've been a semi-hardcore JP fan since I saw TLW in theaters.

Wow, right on time! Hi, Andre! Always weird to hear you swear 😄
ANDRE!!! Can we pleeease get a spoiler review of Chip and Dale?
YES! Absolutely nothing about it since it has been out
I actually liked the locust story. It was very Michael Crichton.
they could have even explored more how mashing up animals from three different ages - so they never existed together - would have led to new interactions; who's predator, who's prey?
so much potential
"they should rename this movie LOCUST WORLD"
Andre, aren't you already give us the best title previously
"TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA LOCUST"
Andre mentions Teenage Mutant Ninja Locus.
Me looking slightly to the left: 👀
Coincidentally that Mikey is here front and center.
A little more focus and a lot less locust is the perfect description for this Andre. I liked it and thought it was ok. I just feel like it could’ve been better.
Can I just say that I LOVE these particular type of movie reviews. You are thr funniest Move Reviewer on CZcams Andre. 💜 It takes thr sting out of a movie I want to see falling short. At least I know Andre will make me feel better.
Andre your thoughts on this film were similar to mine! Too be honest, it was more like three to four plots. The Legacy characters had theirs with the genetic mutation and locust. Then the newer cast had Mazzy or Masie however you say her name... get kidnapped along with baby Blue (Beta) for their DNA and connection to all of this. Now we have a story of Massie finding out whom she is and where she belongs. Then we gotta make sure Beta returns home to Blue. Then it's the genetic mutation story and so fourth... so I guess it's three plots. Anyway, Massie's part was okay at first but it lingered way too long! These plots started to divert from the essence of the Jurassic series. And although in books they refer to the genetic mutation with bugs, I just think the movie over did it.
I feel like Biosyn Genetics plot was supposed to exemplify a bigger picture that the company's objectives are in genomics research which are to be "seeking groundbreaking pharmacological and agronomic applications." Pharmaceutically, they could use the genomics of dinosaurs and agronomically use the genomics of the locusts. The idea was to ultimately control the world's medicine and food. It's just that the movie shouldn't have really focused so much on the locusts for a movie where dinosaurs are supposed to be the main focus.
I think Biosyn Genetics would be a fantastic villainous organisation for several different movies in-universe if it weren't just about dinosaurs, but I just think maybe thi isn't quite the right franchise to presume other applications without having the core focuses.
With how insane they are getting maybe we will see the human/dino hybrid idea return.
"Boss Hogg dinosaur" Had to wait as I only saw this yesterday. I liked the film more than JP3 and Fallen Kingdom, but it did feel a bit like two or three films smooshed together.
I think the reason they had the locust story was to bring in the bad guy who hired Nedry in the first JP movie. I enjoyed JW3. There were some times where I was thinking stuff like "There's no way they could outrun that raptor." but, overall, I'm glad to have another Jurassic movie.
By far the worse ‘Jurassic’ movie. 🤮

Exactly! Disney's Star Wars Trilogy mirrors the Jurassic World Trilogy. 1st Movie: Capitalize on Nostalgia, 2nd Movie: Dark Game Changer, 3rd Movie: Overstuffed with References
They probably had to set the new movie a few years after the last movie because the actress playing Maisie got older and looks older.
I had good time watching Jurassic World: Dominion! I enjoyed the action scenes and story. Although I will say that it did feel like it was throwing all these different plots at once when I saw it in theaters. It didn’t ruin my overall experience with the film but it definitely did leave me feeling slightly overwhelmed with all the plot points they trying to throw at you.
By far the worse ‘Jurassic’ movie. 🤮
I absolutely agree
Yooo if you liked this review you should check out my RANT for jurassic world dominion!!!
I enjoyed it. It's always a bummer when you like a movie but then the general consensus from everyone else is that it's bad or disappointing. But it is what it is.
I feel the exact same way. I don't get all the hatred. I felt "meh" about JPIII and Jurassic World, and I enjoyed but didn't love _Fallen Kingdom._ In my opinion, Dominion is easily the most ambitious Jurassic film since the original and is tied with The Lost World (which kickstarted my JP fandom when I saw it in theaters) as my second-favorite film of the franchise.
Honestly, I've seen a lot of your movie reviews. I have to say this is the one that surprised me the most. You seem to always like the movie you review, yet this one goes down as my favorite. Did I see the movie? No. But to see you give a sort of opposition to what I've grown accustom to in your reviews speaks to my soul. It doesn't count as a reason why I haven't seen the movie, I actually watched your review for Thor Love and Thunder before seeing this one which left me thinking maybe it's impossible for you to see any qualms with any movie you have seen (u encouraged me to finally watch Gremlins 2.....). Thank you for proving me wrong.....
I’ve watched this movie twice and I kind of feel the same way. I feel like there are two main plots in this movie, the first one is Owen and Claire having to rescue Maisie after she’s kidnapped. The second is Alan and Ellie investigating the locusts. Both end up at Biosyn where Maisie was taken, and where the evidence for the locusts are. The plot does not revolve around the dinosaurs at all m, basically they’re just background and obstacles. The dinosaurs in this movie play more of a hey look what dinosaurs we haven’t seen in other movies before like giganotosaurus therizenosaurus and a few others the dinosaurs are basically just there and don’t play any major role in driving the plot at all.
I am eagerly awaiting your MsMarvel reviews.
You're gonna love it.
A "Fast and Jurassic" movie would be a great lead-in to the world of "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs." (Also, the locusts sounds more like Critters than Gremlins to my ears.)
I never get tired of seeing a "Cadillacs & Dinosaurs" references...
I'm officially home..🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾
I knew I'd find this reference here.
Thank for your honest review of this film.
Great Film Andre. I really enjoyed it. Glad you did to.
DYNO DNA!!!
Dominion was so much fun
I totally agree, they really got away from the dinosaurs and the plot was basically about stopping the locusts before they destroy all the crops , I was expecting something similar to The Lost World but I guess it was done already.
I think the major issue for me was the obvious solution "people will adjust to the smaller dinosaurs who hide or are less intrusive, and any of the bigger troublemakers 100 pounds and up will be absolutely massacred on sight, because we dont even put up with native carnivores or territorial herbivores that already exist" doesnt leave a lot of ambiguity. No one gonna justify a carnosaur roaming Tex and being left alone without 5 morons in a pick up hunting em down.
If they made The Fast And The Jurassic, I would legit go back and actually watch the f&f movies. I haven’t actively avoided watching those movies, but I also haven’t not actively avoided watching those movies.
2 Fast 2 Jurassic. I’m there opening night.
In Fallen Kingdom Ian Malcolm said this: 80 years ago, who could've predicted nuclear proliferation? But then, there it was. And now, we've got genetic power. So... How long is it gonna take for that to spread around the globe and, what's gonna be done with it? It ain't gonna stop with the de-extinction of the dinosaurs.
The dangers of having genetic science being unleashed everywhere.
Also the extended cut will have the prologue and Battle at Big Rock will be included in the special features.
I really ,
Really enjoyed it with the nods and them coming together after doing two different missions in it.
It was a mini Avengers assemble scene.
I give it a 8.5 out of 10
My issue is that the introductions to Clair and Owen were overall unnecessary for the movie. Clair's was 100% unnecessary because there is only a minor references to it later on, all of which added nothing to the movie. And Owen's opening only serves to show how the bad guys found them, which could have been done with Maisie's opening. Have her actually be seen by the bad guy and followed home. It can be explained that they don't take her because they are also looking for Blue and her potential child.
Malcolm working at Biosyn makes zero sense. Malcolm has throughout the series spoken out against the technology being used. I could see him coming over to see what is going on, but Malcolm would not have been hired by Biosyn. Now, Zia, a dinosaur vet could have been. But, Zia doesn't get the OGs into Biosyn. So, there would need to be some work, but it could have been done better.
Also, the plot armor was so strong with the main cast. Like there are times I am like, what? Not even a scratch?
“Fast and Jurassic…For Family” 🤣
I enjoyed it too but can defiantly understand the issues with this movie.
All of this is 110% correct! Say it louder for the writers in the back!
"a little more focused and a lot less locust..." 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Andre vids are like comfort food for me
If you want to watch awesome scientifically accurate portraits of dinosaurs with just enough amount of speculation watch Prehistoric Planet documentary.
This movie made me laugh so many times!! I think that’s why i was able to get passed the movie doing movie things. It’s kinda what we’re all here for! Seeing it on the big screen really was the best way to see this.
Woah it’s that Mario bromance guy
“A little more focus and a lot less locust” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol, part we wanna tell a great story & if we make money SWEET part of movie 1.
Then Studio saw cash..lol.
I do think studios can do better with tying shows (especially this confined series) into it and get a better feel.
I agree with Andre that we should have seen what happens after the dinosaurs get out...if anything make that a big event streaming series that will lead into this.

I love these "Try to Explain" videos
Man by far my biggest issue with this movie is that it's all just generic F&F level action with no real weight or consequences. They all barely get a scratch on em the entire time. Really takes you out of it and breaks the immersion when they never feel like they're in real danger and it's just to get to the next scene. In JP and TLW all characters felt in danger and some of them really got taken out even if they were a "good" person.
I can totally see Vin Diesel riding a T-Rex...😂🤣🦖
"Attack of The Giant Dinosaur Locusts" - Starring Bela Lugosi and directed by Ed Wood.
Yes! This! You’ve explained perfectly what I feel about this movie. I had a pretty good time with it, but I definitely see the huge flaws that this movie has. It’s basically the movie I expected to see based on the previous 2 and the last trailer: an action-packed popcorn flick with dino’s with no deep meaning whatsoever. Did I want to see the actual impact of the dinosaurs mixed with the humans and how that affected current day life? Of course, but I feel like people get way too upset about this movie not matching their expectations. Come on, it’s a movie, try and have a little fun with it.

They could've just got some mutated ducks to handle those locusts. Ducks love locusts!
