Jurassic World Dominion — How a Movie Ruined Itself | Anatomy Of A Failure

Jurassic World Dominion is the latest entry in the Jurassic Park reboot franchise, which has some good stuff in it and made a bunch of money as per usual. But despite all the positives, the movie also harms itself with a second, very unentertaining plotline in addition to the Chris Pratt one that ultimately drags the entire experience down to the swamps. And so in today's Anatomy of a Failure, let's compare the two main plotlines of the movie to see why one of them doesn't work at all. Here's when you should cut your losses and focus on what actually works in your movie.

Jurassic World Dominion
This summer, experience the epic conclusion to the Jurassic era as two generations unite for the first time. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are joined by Oscar®-winner Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill in Jurassic World Dominion, a bold, timely and breathtaking new adventure that spans the globe. From Jurassic World architect and director Colin Trevorrow, Dominion takes place four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed. Dinosaurs now live—and hunt—alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures. The film features new cast members DeWanda Wise (She’s Gotta Have It), Emmy nominee Mamoudou Athie (Archive 81), Dichen Lachman (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Scott Haze (Minari) and Campbell Scott (The Amazing Spider-Man 2).

I'll do Maverick next. Do you think it will finally be another Film Perfection?

Tbh the worst part is how this was the finale movie. This was the film that was supposed to wrap up the overarching plot, not just for the World trilogy, but for the original trilogy, too. I get it’s hard to pull off a satisfying conclusion, yet even as someone who likes the movie just because they like seeing the dinosaurs, it still left me empty.

I think one of the biggest problems with Jurassic World Dominion is the ending and its message. At the end of Jurassic World Dominion, we get another glimpse into the world, and we get to see how dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals have begun to coexist with modern-day animals, with the final shot of the film being a sinoceratops walking alongside an elephant herd. The message is pretty obvious here, being that dinosaurs and humanity, as well as the rest of earth, can coexist. I have two problems with this ending.
Firstly, there is no way that dinosaurs could simply coexist with modern ecosystems. They are literally invasive species, and would likely cause more harm to earth than good.
Secondly, doesn't this all go against Ian Malcom's philosophy in the first movie, about how dinosaurs cannot exist with humanity?

I think the movie should have replaced the "giant locust" invasion problem with the herbivore dinosaurs. Make the herbivores be as much as a problem as deer. The difference being that the herbivores would consume tons of food every day and start jeopardizing people's food. It could be a nice premise to put a moral problem in the screen: us or them? Who is worthy of living?

[Yuu-itzk]

I also have a problem with Giganotosaurus. Unlike the Indominus or the Indoraptor, he is not “evil”. There is no message of “genetic manipulation is bad”. There’s no catharsis when he is defeated. He was just a regular carnivore. In Jurassic world and fallen kingdom, there was a representation of “mutated monster vs natural animal” in the final fight. Here, there wasn’t

I once dated this girl who hated “dumb monster movies”. She didn’t want to see the original JP with me, I told her “it’s not like that.” She gave it a chance, she loved it. Not only did the film make her jump twice - it opened up interesting debate between us on the film’s subject, the element - or lack of - control, the struggle between man and nature.

This was a girl who hated monster movies.
Now we have these Jurassic World sequels…Yeah, they’re just “dumb monster movies”.

[irshadtyo]

I see why Steven Spielberg stepped away from this franchise after 2 movies. There’s only so much you can do and the first JP is still the best movie in the franchise

[chasehedges]

The 1993 original is still the best and it was good movie with likable characters and a great cast that actually told a good story about how playing God and messing with nature only creates chaos.

[martinmorles]

At the same time, the franchise has gone against its own moral message, given the first two movies made it clear that some things are better left alone, dead as the ramifications could be catastrophic. Yet in the new movies now say that no we should pursue it anyway and adapt to the changing world, what ?
As much as I enjoy this franchise realistically it shouldn't have gotten sequels.

[movieexpert]

To me, it felt like it had three plots that could have been their own film. The locust and legacy one, the stolen girl and the dna plot 2, the whole underground black market of dinosaurs that had an antagonist who was willing sick raptors on them 3. Oh and the pilot character could have easily been Malcolm’s daughter from Lost World undercover to help them.

[thatonepseudotwin]

throughout the whole movie i was expecting someone in the cast to die, other than the villain of course. I was hoping that the stakes would raise at some point and thought about who would go, how they would go, what would kill them, hoping something would happen to raise the stakes. Nobody died...nobody really even came close and at some point in the movie i was just thinking no one's gonna die and at the end...every single important character and semi important character was alive and i felt empty.

[lonelystony]

The worst thing for me was that the dinosaurs weren't anymore scary or frightening at all, because the plot put them aside so they where like a nonstop sidekick instead of the main problem. But to be honest the bugs had potential.

[thewayofthebeard]

The ironic thing is the “boring” plot line is actually a terrifying real world issue where a handful of corporations control the world’s crops/food supply, genetically modified seeds, & the disappearance of small, independent farms.

[jdpragmatic]

The biggest disappointment for me in this was the characterization of Lewis Dodgson.

In the books he was devious, uncompromising, ruthless, and even belligerent. His job at BioSyn was head of experimental R&D where all he did was steal other peoples research, reverse engineer it, and change it enough to legally patent it. He was only interested in the dinosaurs from InGen because he could fully exploit them as research animals through a legal loophole because they “had no rights.” He acted like a smooth talker to Dr. Sarah Harding to secretly get information out of her and then attempted to murder her by shoving her off their boat in the middle of a tropical sea storm. And when his team tried to steal eggs from the T-Rex family on Isla Sorna, it went wrong and he basically left his team to die while he tried to get off on his own.

I was waiting forever to see this evil man put to screen for more than a 2 min cameo in 1993. What do I get…a slightly angry Bill Gates. You FAILED Universal, you EPIC FAILED BIG TIME.

[ricanmildA]

I think that the locust plot line was the writers trying to mimic Michael Crichton's style of writing, but socio-economic thriller doesn't mesh well with the action movie that the writers actually wanted to write. This makes the legacy plot line seem more boring compared to the new characters' plot line as a result.

[geb]

The thing I hate most about these movies is that they don't explain shit about the animals. They barely get names and that's it. For example the "bird dinosaur" is neither a bird nor a dinosaur, it's a pterosaur (a quetzalcoatlus) and pterosaurs are flying reptiles related to dinosaurs (while birds are actual living dinosaurs). The "reptile dinosaurs" are dimetrodons, synapsids from the permian period (and they went extinct right before the triassic, when the first dinosaurs appeared) and are much more closely related to mammals than any reptile.
With all the shitty action scenes they need to go through they barely acknowledge any of this stuff and it's infuriating.

[mousethebookworm]

This movie is such a perfect example of the rising nostalgia problem, where basically all big filmmaking companies try to wring out as much money as possible by luring the audience in with this idea of nostalgia. And using nostalgia to enhance a story isn't inherently a bad thing—when executed nicely—but it's the fact that it's been so overdone with so many different films and productions that make it kind of tiring to watch. Also, it really sucks if you didn't grow up watching the movies from which the nostalgia is being drawn, because then it feels like you have to sit through those other movies just to feel some sense of excitement when some random throwaway callback is made. Also also, it's basically one big ad for those older movies. The point is nostalgia's great but so is GENUINELY ORIGINAL NEW IDEAS!

[ActuallyKnuckles]

Can we recognize the effort Filmento puts into his thumbnails. Just look at the reflection of the word failure on the water. That's some dedication.

Then again, we shouldn't expect anything less from the guy that gave us Thanos Rat

[silashurd]

One thing I’ll give credit to this movie is that one scene where Claire is hiding from the herbivorous dinosaur (forgot what it’s called) actually being a threat for Claire because despite what many people might think; not all plant eating animals are safe and friendly like we’d think they are and can still be just as deadly as meat eaters.

[twontonamo]

It's hard to care when every scene lacks tension when you know the characters are going to make it out fine after a while. They can survive plane crashes with no I'll effect while acting like superheroes the whole time. In JP and TLW the characters felt like real people in actual danger instead of just this watered down cash grab that was fed through some mass-appeal formula to just be shown to as many audiences as possible. The lack of blood or any brutality also ruins the film a bit too when you have dinosaurs attacking people.
