Jurassic World: Dominion – Dinosaurs Unleashed, Story Unfocused

#15Jurassic World: Dominion – Dinosaurs Unleashed, Story Unfocused

7 / 10
Dominion starts with promise but squanders it on a bizarre locust storyline and forced character crossovers. While the dinosaur scenes remain visually stunning, the movie lacks the emotional core and narrative focus of its predecessors. Still entertaining, but the weakest of the entire series.

Timeline: 2022

Release Year: 2022

“*Jurassic World: Dominion* continues the Jurassic World trilogy with a globe-spanning dino adventure. While it reassembles the franchise’s biggest names and showcases thrilling creature sequences, its overstuffed plot and strange locust storyline weaken the impact. Although not the final film in the series—another installment was released in 2025—Dominion remains a key turning point, showing a world fully inhabited by dinosaurs. It entertains, but lacks the depth and cohesion of earlier entries.”

A powerful farewell to the Nublar Six. *Chaos Theory – Season 4* runs in parallel to *Jurassic World Dominion*, echoing its world of trafficking routes, relocation ops, and public dinosaur anxiety while keeping the focus on our six.
