If you're going to the cinema for dinosaurs, wild chases, and a good dose of nostalgia, Jurassic World: Dominion delivers. It has the scent of a classic blockbuster, with a fast pace and a clear intention to close the circle by reconnecting with the original trilogy. The return of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum works well, even if it sometimes feels more like fan service than real character development.
The script plays it safe. It repeats formulas that worked before—sometimes with less spark—but the technical execution is spotless. There are spectacular chases, new creatures, and impressive locations, but also plenty of flat dialogue and scenes that could’ve packed more punch.
At times, the film gets lost in its parallel storylines, trying to give screen time to too many characters without diving deep into any. Still, it’s honest about what it offers: pure spectacle, with a simple but present ecological message.
Truth is, it’s entertaining. It may not reach the magic of the first Jurassic Park, but there are moments that recapture some of that awe. Seeing dinosaurs roam around everyday settings is both disturbing and fascinating.
Did the saga deserve an ending like this? Maybe it’s not epic or flawless, but it respects the adventurous spirit that defined it. And for those of us who grew up with these giant beasts, that’s more than enough.
