Well, the best thing I can say about Jurassic World Dominion is that it merged the old crew with the new one. This post first ran in 2022.
The long wait is over! (Drum roll here.) Jurassic World Dominion is here, so I said back then. I hadn’t seen a film inside a movie theater in years, but I made an exception for this one. I mean, it’s dinosaurs, right? Even better: it merged the main characters from the old Jurassic Park trilogy—Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), with those from the initial two Jurassic World films, Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard). How cool is that!
The story takes place four years after the events in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Humans are now co-existing with dinosaurs all over the globe. And there are lots of the latter.
Drs. Ian Malcolm, Alan Grant, and Ellie Sattler are up to their necks in dinosaurs…again.
The premier of Jurassic World Dominion was at least a year late in coming. No surprise why: good old Covid-19, which even halted production after it had begun. But that is all in the past, so for this one time only I broke my own rules back then about using two particular common expressions: “I’m looking forward to seeing Jurassic World Dominion, and I just can’t wait!
