#WORLD OF GOO BOX MOVIE#
This feels more like a giant locust movie for half, about a villainous corporation weaponizing genetically modified plagues to kill their competitors' stock. After five movies of dinosaurs in parks, where we begin with dinosaurs in the real world, it's back to spending time in another glorified dino park, and would you believe that something goes wrong at this park too? Why even bother setting up an exciting premise if it's abandoned so completely? The movie we do get is a lesson in diminished returns and accepting disappointment.

Yes, dear reader, you read that correctly.

Instead, the majority of the movie is split between two less engaging stories: giant locusts and a rich guy's private dino enclosure. I suppose by the end nature just took care of itself. It's a shame that the most interesting part of this movie, the global acclimation of creatures of an older millennium rejoining our ecosystem, is kept as literal background. The concept of a world where humans are forced to co-exist with dinosaurs is a genuinely exciting starting point, and it's a Jurassic movie I would want to see, and I do… for a montage to open and close the movie. This feels like three different movies inartly slammed together and it is overstuffed with subplots all competing for screen time, so every few minutes feels like a possible off-ramp for another episode of what the opening concept portends. There is a lot going on with Jurassic World: Dominion and yet so little is happening, at least from an intellectual standpoint. Owen and Claire are hopping the world to find their missing family (Owen promises the raptor he will return her baby) and uncover yet another evil scheme from an evil rich person. The evil businessman hires kidnappers to abscond with the little clone girl, the baby dinosaur to Blue, America's favorite family-friendly raptor, and for good measure, he's also unleashing swarms of killer locusts. The BioSyn CEO (modeled after Apple's Tim Cook, here played by Campbell Scott) has big plans for… world domination? It's actually unclear besides general profit. He's lassoing wild dinos and she's breaking them out of illegal testing sites. Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) are living out West together with the clone girl from 2018's Fallen Kingdom.

It's years after dinosaurs have become reintegrated into the human world. I've delayed seeing the movie because of my own sense of caution and resignation. Wong, again, if that does anything for ya).

It's also bringing the band back together by including Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum as their beloved original trilogy characters (there's also B.D. Director Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World) is back though he remained a screenwriter for the entire World trilogy along with Derek Connolly (Safety Not Guaranteed). Jurassic World: Dominion has received, by far, the worst reviews and reception of the six-film franchise that has taught us the valuable life lesson that dinosaurs will eat people.
