The film that was marketed as the thrilling conclusion to both the Jurassic Park series and the Jurassic World series limped onto screens this weekend, offering none of the heart or thoughtful contemplation for which the original film was known. This film only offers a crazy, over-the-top spectacle without any story, plot, or characters to support it. There is no through-line from scene to scene nor logic behind the scatter-brained collection of random events. The only thought that was put into this movie is, “Ooh, fans like seeing dinosaurs kill people.” Not long ago, it would seem impossible for a film in this franchise to be worse than Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. However, Jurassic World: Dominion somehow manages it.
The very foundation of this film was built upon sand. No stretch...
