It’s been nearly 30 years since a rampaging T-Rex shut down Jurassic Park, and in Jurassic World Dominion (★★☆☆☆), the latest sequel in the rebooted franchise, apparently that same T-Rex is still raising hell. But the mighty Tyrannosaurus is no longer confined to the world’s most uninsurable theme park. At the conclusion of the previous film, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, dozens of dinosaurs were set loose on the U.S.

The cast and crew of “Jurassic Park Dominion” really were like family.

also the worst. Running time: 146 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of action, some violence and language).

“Jurassic World Dominion” is that it’s a metaphor unto itself; the ongoing moral of the film series is that mixing the wrong strains of DNA leads to disaster, and that lesson is writ large in the awkward and clumsy attempt to graft the stars of the original “Jurassic Park” onto the “Jurassic World” movies, a combo platter that only serves to make the latter-day protagonists even less interesting by comparison.The other generous read, although it’s damning with faint praise, is to call this the best “Jurassic” movie since the original in 1993, but that doesn’t mean this one’s not, much like its predecessors, a hot mess. It’s just a hot mess with some effectively scary bits, a cool car chase and Laura Dern.“Dominion” spends so much time jumping back and forth between the “Park” cast and the “World” plot that one can only hope editor Mark Sanger (“Gravity”) received combat pay.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticWith 1990’s “Jurassic Park,” novelist Michael Crichton took a hard look at what was happening in the field of genetic research and warned, via mathematician Ian Malcolm, “Scientists are actually preoccupied with accomplishment. So they are focused on whether they can do something. They never stop to ask if they should do something.”Across six movies and massive advances in visual effects technology, Hollywood has been wrestling with a version of that same craven because-they-can impulse.

Jurassic World Dominion has divided critics in early reactions.Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are joined by the original Jurassic Park cast in the sequel, including Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum.Despite this dose of nostalgia, it seems the follow-up to 2018’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom hasn’t quite met the rapturous reception it wasn’t hoping for.Scott Menzel from We Live Entertainment, wrote: “It brings me no joy to report that Jurassic World Dominion is a MASSIVE disappointment. While the film does feature some incredible dinosaur sequences and it is great to see the original cast back on the big screen, the film fails to deliver on what the previous films promise.”A similar sentiment was shared by film critic Courtney Howard, who described it as the “worst of the franchise” and that it “ignores the premise it should’ve had from the start”.Some, however were positive towards the sequel.

Following Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick strutting its stuff and Disney’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness‘ charge toward $1 billion, Universal and Amblin’s Jurassic World Dominion will once again prove that there’s a global appetite for moviegoing close to two years after cinemas reopened.

Today on Crew Call we speak with Jurassic World Dominion co-scribe Emily Carmichael about how she broke into the Universal $5 billion-grossing series; one of the keys to wowing over filmmaker Colin Trevorrow was her screenplay redo of Disney’s 1980s sci-fi movie The Black Hole. 

described the new film as “obviously hokey as hell in many aspects, but Dern, Goldblum and Neill are worth the price admission alone.”Gizmodo entertainment reporter Germain Lussier claimed the action-adventure is “so bad.”“It’s too long, it’s wildly repetitive & the dinosaurs are window dressing for multiple uninteresting, unrelated stories,” Lussier added. “The actors do their best but its all just overindulgent & pointless. One of, if not the, worst in the franchise.”Another critic tweeted that the movie “is just plain bad.
