JurassicWorld Dominion brings the Jurassic World saga to a close with a suitably entertaining entry that might cement it as the best legacy trilogy.
Jurassic World Dominion remained atop the box office during its second weekend, mainly because Lightyear severely underperformed. Despite Dominion‘s negative critical reception, it’s undeniable that the film is a hit with audiences; it has an A- on CinemaScore and a 78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Dinostalgia Jurassic Park came out in 1993 to almost universal critical and commercial acclaim. The film wowed audiences with never-before-seen visual effects that redefined what cinema could accomplish. Steven Spielberg’s firm hand was present in every shot and sequence. Industrial Light & Magic may have created the dinosaurs, but Spielberg brought them to life. Jurassic Park was a triumph in nearly every way.
Still, The Lost World and Jurassic Park III underperformed at the box office, leading Hollywood to doubt itself. Were the films not “serious” enough? Was the franchise too dependent on a Spielberg at the top of his game? Were dinosaurs no longer enough? Or, even more terrifying, had the first film grossly overestimated what the franchise could be? Was the first Jurassic Park not that good? Perish the thought.
The film’s other major strength is coming up with the franchise’s best antagonist since the original T-Rex — which by now is no longer the enemy but the hero. The Indominus Rex is genuinely frightening, the sole reminder that the original film intended to criticize and warn against humanity’s shamelessness and greed. The Indominus is aggressive, cunning, vicious, and dangerously human, and the saga probably made a big mistake by killing it off so quickly.
Beyond any intent, the film succeeds because there’s nothing for it to lose. Can anyone claim to remember what happened in Fallen Kingdom? Can we even remember the name of the clone girl who debuted there and surprisingly got a somewhat compelling story in the third entry? We are here for the dinosaurs, and we don’t even know their names, much less the girl who’s the clone of that other girl who’s the granddaughter of that other guy who helped create the dinosaurs in the first place.
