Certain reptile, invertebrate and fish species can reproduce vía pathernogenesis: this means the female will "clone" herself and give birth to a semi clone of herself. Heck, some lizard and snake species are exclusively female due to this.
Kinda neat to have a nod to what a genética abherration this dinosaurs are, but nonetheless convinient for the plot that this artificial Velociraptors are both able to change sex or reproduce vía pathernogenesis on a whim but hey, watcha gonna do?
@@cristhianmlr yeah I explain that in the video too, it's because they filled gaps in Blue's DNA with Monitor Lizard DNA - I'm just having fun calling it Raptor jesus
F for this another fallen franchise...
Herpes monkeys. I know that seems like a random set of words but no. It is in fact a reminder that back in the 1930s 6 macaques escaped (by swimming because morons put them on an island) into Florida. All infected with Type 2 herpes.
You would think that a predatory, invasive species that can spread a disease that can cause neurological disability and Death would be taken care of. Right? Wrong! There are currently over 600 of the little bastards roaming around and have been seen all the way up in Pennsylvania. 92 years and we've done fuck all.
Now take a moment to think about all the other animal fuck ups, like boars and cats and pythons and starlings and thousand of other invasive species that are causing very very serious damage to ecosystems, animal populations, property damage and injuries/death and...You have to admit we are absolutely useless when it comes to dealing with escaped animals. The Dinos might naturally starve out though, being unable to compete with their smaller rivals. making sad hungry uwu sounds. :(
Indeed "Fallen kingdom" was the worst. P.S. Speaking about that scene with cowboys. I just realized one thing: how on Earth calling someone a "cowboy" can be cool? Cowboy, i.e. cow + boy! Not "bullman" or something. It sounds like an insult. How on Earth being a cowboy farmer can be cool?
Jurassic World is one of the movies of all time. The characters were all played by actors and they gave performances as the characters spoke to each other. The action was filmed and the cgi was animated. The script was written and having now seen the movie I can confidently say it's one of the movies of the year, if not the decade
Accurate
Truly a film you can see in a theater
This comment 🤣
Which of the three Jurassic World movies?
Yes.
They had the set up for an epic movie about dinosaurs causing an ecological and societal disaster but instead had the dinos back in yet another enclosure (park) and focused on locusts and a cloned little girl. Who thought that was what fans/customers going to see a Jurassic movie wanted? Yet again Hollywood prove how creatively out of touch they are.
Exactly
God damn.
One of those movies where you come out of the cinema just thinking, "Why the F did they do THAT?!"
I'm still trying to find an excuse for them. It makes no sense why they would choose to do that. The film is called "Dominion" ffs. The dinosaurs in this film are so far from the word. Or did they mean Do-minion?
THIS
The fact that Chris Pratt literally says "Go on, git!" and pushes a venom spitting Dilophosaurus away in the same tone as if a raccoon got into his garbage is hilarious and also sums up my every problem with this series
The biggest issue for me was that dinosaurs where completely irrelevant to the plot, they might as well be replaced by kittens, it felt to memore like a Mission impossible movie than a jurassic park sequel
Them taking a backseat story wise would've been acceptable if they had actually killed any of the main protagonists.
So the Jurassic franchise is becoming like the fast and furious movies..
@@Eserr7856 sadly yes
Yes. The female villain in Dominion was a lot like the broker villain in MI: Fallout. Then they had Claire running around like Tom Cruise.
@@fitthickchic6732 in fairness she was a much better villain than Dodgson
i love how everyone in this movie has the magical ability to tame dinosaurs by lifting their hand
They use the force
It's the how to train your dinosaurs long lost sequel of how to train your dragon my friend
can't push it.. 69
Dinosaurs: "uh oh guys, that guy is holding his hand up. I don't think can resist that kind of power!!"
I said "magic hand" in the theater every time someone did it.
I appreciate you naming each dinosaur that appears on screen. From Jedi to Paleontologist.
or an ark player?
Don’t pretend their real names aren’t Edward Scissorhands, long neck and chicken lizard.
To Genius, Billionaire, Playboy and finally Philanthropist.
Chris Pratt’s “talk to the hand” with the Allosaurus had most of the audience snickering when I saw this turd. Both screenwriters should never work again.
Chris Pratt's character is probably one of the worst characters of the series along with Maisie.
Really mixed message in this one. "We created these dinosaurs from millions of years in the past. They'll probably destroy the ecosystem, but he need to live in harmony with them."
Also in the same movie: "We created these giant bugs from millions of years in the past. They'll probably destroy our ecosystem, so we need to systematically kill them!"
Also, how the hell were there so many dinosaurs on one island that they have the numbers to cover the earth?!
The sequel- "Come pet my dog raptor puppies, i just got them spayed and trust me... Life wont find a way hahah *wink*".
“Life, uh, finds a way”
They are bad movies made for morons. There, solved your grand problem. Duh.
it's what happens when you have hack writers starting with action set pieces in mind before bothering to patchwork the rest of the plot together, i guess. and good point about how they totally hated on insects while still showing massive suffering for dinos in a sympathetic way.
As someone who grew up with The Land Before Time seeing any dinosaurs, especially a brachiosaurus, surrounded by a burning forest or being hurt just breaks my soul. Even the dangerous dinosaurs in the black market. I didn’t care about the dangers to humans at all, I just kept thinking “oh, baby, you don’t belong here.” 🦖🦕
Thoses movies shaped my childhood
Dude same. Especially the ones trained to kill people. Poor babies
The little lystro in the pit isn't rescued. I need closure, did someone rescue it? I will volunteer to go in there if I have too.
Nah it's a lousy plot point, especially because it's always coupled to the ugliest dinosaurs imaginable. That's another problem too, trying to generate sympathy for an animal by focusing on it over-emoting pathetically even though realistically that animal's intelligence is many tiers below even a dog's and it probably isn't even conscious.
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 what possible reason could you have to suggest the intelligence of these animals being far below a dog? They are more evolved than a dog. I'm sure they came in a large range of intelligence from really stupid to dolphin/primate.
I was actively rooting for someone…anyone other than the bad guys to get unalived. The stakes were so low. I actually felt insulted as an audience member by all of the “danger” fake outs. I mean seriously. The odds of anybody surviving all of that Dino chaos were zero to none. It just got goofier and goofier.
Agreed. Claire was the character I wanted to see get eaten the most, due to how she was partially responsible for what happened in the first Jurassic World. I was seriously disappointed she survived. The plot armour for the main characters was infuriating.
I actually started thinking your same words in the final scenes from the moment they get out of the tunnel and are screaming to open the door. Like sure, it looks like a tense moment, but doesn't feel like it, because it's obviously clear that they are not gonna die, so it's a false sense of danger. So I started to mentally disconnect from the movie and started thinking what's the meaning of all this, how these are the issues of bringing back old cast (except Scream 5 I guess) and how when your whole main cast is formed by the main characters from the other movies you know no one is gonna die because they treat them like sacred icons each of them even the 3 JWorld ones.
I guess what it lacked was more new characters that could take the fall or at least that you didn't know if they would survive or not. That's why Jurassic Park 1, 2 and 3 had 1 main franchise character + bunch of new characters. Here it's just 1 new character + all repeating cast. I think that's it's main issue...
If you're pissed at this wait till you watch Camp Cretaceous 🤣. Those kids went through far worse than anyone in this franchise without getting maimed or killed. They escaped the Indominus, Carnotaurus, Ceratosaurus, Trex, Scorpius, Mosasaur, Velociraptors, a Smilodon, an aerial battle with Dimorphodons, the Spino, a trio of Baryonyx and a pack of Dilos. Basically they escaped everything the franchise had to offer for over half a year. I still like the show though
99% of deaths: meh, some nameless faceless character.
Last death: oh yay....a call back to to the first movie so I guess I'm excited?
That is my number one complaint about this movie. Even some of the innocents in Biogyn should have ended up dino-lunch. They brought in two new characters, one of them should have gone... perhaps even Malcolm or Owen.
The weather in this movie confused me . So they were in their cabin in the woods which was frozen and snowy. came back is presumably a week or so later and it's just nice and green. And then the sanctuary place. So cold a lake is not quite but nearly frozen solid and yet Clare is crawling through a humid jungle type space which can only been a couple of miles away.
The cabin makes sense to me, as a norwegian.
And the enclosure too, as someone who has played planet zoo 😂 different dinos need different temperatures?
@@wronglayerbutok the cabin, that's OK, I can accept that & I guess if they can engineer dinos they can engineer different weather zones. Just seems a bit weird with it so close together 😂
Also highly unlikely dinosaurs being cold blooded would hang around in frozen conditions, they'd naturally migrate to the warmer jungle zone
@@TheSebiestor That is actually incorrect, many were 'warm' blooded, though not quite warm blooded. Also, many dinosaurs lived within the arctic circle, so that's just completely false. Sure, some would need the warmer conditions, but others would need the colder conditions too.
@@wersdwolf Wasn't the arctic circle not arctic when dinosaurs would have been around?
Having Dodgson as the antagonist for this film delivers the same energy as "somehow Palpatine has returned"
makes me think they're trying to put political pressure in Apple. their sweat shops in China with suicide nets in the state Wells, windows you can't open, low pay and benefits, long hours, and forced labor camp approach is definitely not cool. it's not fair that people, other workers and companies, around the world have to compete with their crappy treatment of their workers! apple depends on politicians and Hollywood celebrities looking the other way or they'd have real public relations nightmare.
It's not like he died in the original movie tho.
Omfg that is exactly the feeling of pants-shitting incredulity it gives!
And why not go the whole hog and actually get Tim Cook to do it? And his protégé could have been Sundar Pichai who is telling the press in the last scene about the corruption from top to bottom in Tim Cook's organization. People would actually like that!
IDC, the Edward Scissor-chicken dino made the movie for me. Something about a sociopathic serial killer vegetarian just *deeply* unsettled me and I loved it.
that was the best part
Best name for Therizinosaurus I've ever seen
Bruh the part when it killed the deer, the scene spoke to me and said" move bitch, i need my morning breakfest so felicia can do my nails later"
It was kind of our of left field right. And the Big bad’s death too, was so anti-climactic
They’re just naturally aggressive and territorial. It’s a fact
One of my biggest problems with the movie is that it leaves us exactly where the last movie left us off. Instead of really continuing the story about dinosaurs among humans they created a new side plot with the locusts and focus on that instead. It's a fine plot but not the one they should've gone with after the last installment.
For real
noooo but the humans and dinosaurs live together happily ever after now .. for some reason
@@sg-qi7np Eh.. not really? as you can see from the malta scene, definitely not happily ever after. And because you see THAT happening there, it's almost too likely happening in other places too. The poor baby baryonyx even had a robot arm, most likely from a FORCED fight it had in the past! Poor baby.
the worst part is... they never bothered to explain what exactly biosyn thinks they could achieve with mutant prehistoric locusts. it's an allegory of monsanto's GMO crops that are resistant to their own super pesticides, but that was actual science... not inexplicable giga locusts that somehow don't eat biosyn crops? there has GOT to be far easier ways to scifi-GMO some nefarious monopoly control over crops! also, how fuckin stacked is biosyn... they do dinosaur sanctuaries, pharmaceutical research, and _also_ GMO crops? this movie be giving monsanto ideas man...
The ending of "we all learn to live together" seems odd. Throughout the entire franchise the creatures have done nothing but act like rabid killers. The mosasaur sinks boats, the raptors and pteranodon chase humans, the rex and big theropods chase and destroy everything, the herbivores stampede etc etc. The dinosaurs are just straight up chaotic, so according to the thru line of the franchise, peace was never an option.
"Making their sad ew-woo noises" caught me off guard and actually made me laugh.
3:47 "The dinosaurs are kinda just around, just vibin"
That's the sequel I've always wanted
Dinosaur Vibin' Park
I thought the locusts where just so damn dumb, like if you want an ecological disaster, I feel like dinosaurs eating/trampling crops would have served that function
The idea that the existence of dinosaurs would pose any kind of threat to humanity and not be wiped out instantly is ridiculous tbh.
I'm surprised they didn't die out during winter, they're so leathery I'd thought frost bite will kill them(not to mention their lack of fat).
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 everyone always says the answer. Realistically, no one is going out of their way to shoot a Dinosaur. No the army is not gonna drive them to extinction again. There will be people who defend their right to live and rightfully so. Humans played God and must now face the consequences. Unfortunately that is not how the movie plays out and instead we get bullshit no one cares about
@@hwanniggles187 No that's unbelievably stupid. Invasive species almost always cause widespread ecosystem damage and millions of dollars in damages and they are eliminated if possible, which for megafauna like dinosaurs would be very easy since their population would necessarily be far lower than other troublesome invasive species in addition to not being able to stay hidden as well.
Nobody would be arguing for the rights of a factory product to disrupt the natural ecosystem. They would be eliminated. Total failure of logic.
no it cant be dinosaurs because herbiovres are angels and they never cause any harm :((((((((((
I was cringing so hard every time someone stuck their hand out at a dinosaur (mainly Owen) like what in the name of sanity is that gonna do against a flipping killer lizard?!
It’s “tourists trying to ride buffalo at Yellowstone” cranked up to 11
@enden12 that did NOT age well
That's the new 'Dominion Drinking Game'. Take a shot every time someone reaches out their paw!
Uh obviously everything!🤣
I'm fighting the urge to be an annoying dino nerd. Haha.
There is a moment near the end of the movie when Ramsay Cole confronts Dodgson, finally admitting that he has planned to bring down Biosyn since day one. At that point (based on how the scene is set up), I thought the real twist here was that Ramsay was the TRUE big bad of the movie, orchestrating the whole thing by using our heroes as pawns to his game and deciding to do something truly unexpected but NOPE; just like any other Jurassic World movies with a series of huge missed opportunities, Ramsay just simply leaves the Biosyn base and that's pretty much it.
I had a terrible experience watching it too:
1: I was sick (runny nose/ soar throat)
2: My family couldn't decide what to eat before, we ended up eating nothing
3: They ran out of souvenir cups
4: A little kid literally right behind me and wouldn't stop talking "what's that" "who's that" "where are they going" "is that where Thor lives" "look it's a Stegosaurus, it's Stegosaurus (it was the Apatosuarus) ".
5: Someone kept kicking my chair
Two families were escorted out from the theater me having no idea why
Dude I almost stole my cousin phone. He kept texting on it. Like dude?! You can’t be off of it for two hours?
And you forget 6: The movie itself
@@leobolson9580 nah, the movie was fine. It's not a DISASTER, but I definitely don't like it's direction and knew that it definitely could be improved, so it was like 6/10 just because of Goldblum, Pratt and 2 of my favorite prehistoric animals in it
@@njmoonfrost6145 give him a break, he was sat watching Jurassic World Dominion. You’re lucky he didn’t just flat out burst out laughing the entire film.
omg she can talk to the dinosaurs like aquaman?!
Aquaman can talk to dinosaurs?
@@thegoodreylo4749 It's one of his lesser known powers.
Aquaman is a dinosaur! 🙃 🦖
@@thegoodreylo4749 I guess dinosaurs count as sea creatures
🌊 🦕 🤷
@@albatross4920 They definitely are. Look at the Loch Ness Monster. She’s a dinosaur.
The one thing that bothered me the most is at some point they say in the movie; we rounded up all the apex predators, and then at the end the mosasaurus is still swimming around free and chilling with whales and eating people. Surely, if you've rounded up the predators, that things is at like the top of your list????
I wish the Mosasaurus had more screen time
and its totally fine that raptors are roaming the woods because they are chris pratts friends
I mean to be fair, how are you gonna round up a free roaming 60 foot aquatic monitor lizard?
@@happytofu5 It was really only one raptor, now two, so they'd be incredibly hard to find after some time. But i'll give you something, it was strange how the raptors were like.. right besides them this whole time???
@@asquri5959 yeah but they established that they could breed on their own, so I guess there will be a raptor population in no time, given they dont die out too soon
Was it just me, or did the writers miss a HUGE opportunity not making the pilot happen to be Ian Malcolm's daughter? I think that would've been a great twist/moment.
Dude when I saw her, I thought she was his daughter! Though it would make sense if she doesn’t want any part or dips out when gets involved with dinosaurs after what happened in Isla Sorna.
@@jimenuse none of the og cast should have ANY reason to be lovers of dinos any ore to be fair lol
that would have been so cool
Yeah what happened to the black daughter????
The anger about the sad awoos really resonated with me. I always hated the sad awoos, it sounds too sad and gives me flashbacks to the sad moments from The Land before Time.
The fact that Amanda knew the name of every single dinosaur was so fucking cute and funny! Just one of many reasons I love this channel. 🦖🦕
I agree. Adorable.
It was also entirely unsurprising. 😀😀
@@fatdaddy1996 Right?! Completely herself through and through.
Bro she pronounced dinosaur names it ain't even all that serious you down bad or sum
@@dawnm9462 I appreciate the dino-ladies when I see one.
@@dawnm9462 for real lmaoo
Chris Pratt has become such a void of charisma, it's confounds me that this man was once Andy on Parks and Rec.
He played Emmett in the Lego Movie. What happened man?
Maybe it’s the writing? He’s good in the MCU, and his first appearance was around a year after Jurassic World. So it isn’t simply a decline in acting
@@Anna-B yea, but he also lost charisma in that. By the time we got to endgame, I was purposely tuning him out because he was. Just. So. Bland.
@@wingedchicken5701 I suspect he wants to one day run for office with the GOP. His social media and talk show appearances have been less goofy/more “manly”. Same for his acting
Chris Pratt is a BORING cookie cutter action hero
I have only one thing to say:
Therizenosaurus has almost always been presented as an herbivore with a meanstreak (It is actually a Theropod too!) in media form, which makes sense considering real life herbivores with bad eyesight (like rhinos or hippos) can turn pretty aggressive fast.
Also I think in JWD specifically the one we see was blind and used a basic form of echolocation with it's beak-clicking to hear and sense around. Which probably explains why it hit the deer. Probably thought it was whatever caused that noise in the trees.
Did anyone else feel like the dialogue in this movie was also really awkward? Idk if I’ve heard that really mentioned in a lot of reviews but it feels like a lot of the cast either lies on the end of overacting or just not even trying and it really broke any immersion I would’ve had to attempt to even pay attention to the weird plot that was going on
Yeah 😞
The first "Jurassic Park" flick had likable, compelling human protagonists, and you didn't mind cutting away from the dinosaurs once in a while to hear their conflicts. Now, most of the human leads are so bland, that you wish that they'd focus more on the dinosaurs.
Like with monster movies, you care more about the monster then the humans because the humans suck.
@@shcdemolisher A lot of the new movies and tv shows nowdays are like this, that alone is the reason I stopped watching or caring about.
I think Klayton Fioriti made a good point that one of the best things about the original books was that any one of the character, regardless of where their morals line up, was at risk of being eaten. And I think that’s something the Jurassic World trilogy really lacked, which made the threat of dinosaurs roaming freely much weaker. I hope that if they continue the Jurassic Park series that they try implementing that a little more, it’d add more tension and bring back more of the horror that the books and original movie had.
Like, even the Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous have more considerable deaths than the main World Trilogy XD
Yeah. There's that really shocking death of Zara being tossed around while the Bad Guy got a lesser death.
@Tony Peppermint Yeah, not sure why they thought that was a good idea...
Has any Disney movie in the last 5 years had any real consequences or stakes
@@Mike_Dubayou This movie is from Universal though.
My first thought when I saw the burning locusts falling from the sky and landing amongst the dinosaurs was "Oh my god they're gonna kill the dinosaurs in this movie with tiny meteorites!" bc come on when those things were falling from the sky they really looked like little tiny meteorites 😂😂
i thought the pilot was going to be Malcolm's daughter, that would have been a nice throw back, a bit of gymnastic dino fighting would have been fun! Maybe all the kids from the originals were so traumatised they didn't want anything to do with these new dinos lol.
Ah now thats a lost opportunity right there
I 100% agree with the Fallen Kingdom review, I felt so betrayed as a huge fan of Jurassic Park. It hurt my soul. This one was much better BUT there was so much pandering in the name of homage and the locust situation felt like an after thought. More like filler than a true plot point in my opinion.
edit: I cried at the dinosaurs in the construction zone, my heart lol
You did not cry shuttttup
When the dinosaurs in the construction zone were killed because of the gas, I wanted to scream at the screen, "WHY!" They could have saved them all
I kinda liked the locusts idea for a plot because it felt new yet on par with something Biosyn from the books would do. To me though it was surrounded by filler. They should have focussed less screen time to chase scenes with iffy cgi and the Grant/Satler love story...and more to Biosyn/Dodgson or to Dr Wu' s redemption. Too many action scenes, not enough suspense or character development for me to care about most of the action scenes.
@@VeginMatt it's not that I didn't like it, it's more that it wasn't fleshed out all the way so it ended up being disappointing. And I agree, a good chunk of the first act felt like the Bourne series with dinosaurs.
@@otterlyawkward912 agreed. I think my two biggest issues are 1) that they put in too much stuff to really flesh out anything. 2) they should have brought back John Williams to score.
Honestly there was a so much better option for the clone storyline- the mom finds out she has a genetic disease & experiments to find a cure. She creates a clone of herself & implants the clone embryo to give birth to a test subject for the potential cure. But as the pregnancy progresses, the mom becomes more attached to little fetus Maisie and has to make a choice. Her original intention was to try Cure A on Maisie, which has to be done after birth and has a medium/low chance of working. But there's also Cure B, which has a much higher chance of working but needs to be done in-utero (so it's worthless as a cure to the mom herself) There's her dilemma- does she squander potentially her only chance to test a cure that will work on herself in order to almost-guaranteed cure this test subject she's grown to love? Obviously, she cures Maisie in-utero and ultimately is never able to find a cure for herself. This also explains why the mom wouldn't be gung-ho to publish this world-changing information- an in-utero cure (especially if they hand wave it as needed to happen before a certain embryonic developmental stage) for genetic disease/disorders has a lot less applications than one that can be used after birth.
That would require way more flashback scenes to be filmed. I guess they chose to summarize her intentions, actions, etc.
The newer Planet Of The Apes movies went deep with the research, treating, handling and taking care of the apes, before things got out of hand. This Jurassic franchise is more messy than Star Wars.
Really great idea however the general audience doesn't have the attention span needed to sit through the explanation for all this, heck there were people who walked out during my screening from the constant exposition dump
This os such a great idea! If only studios hired people with actual creativity and gave them the actual time needed to write emotionally resonant and coherent stories. But then again, the director has been very open about how he didnt want an emotional or touching story. He just wanted a fun, explosion go boom, happy ever after romp so he probably rejected any ideas that might carry emtion.
@@SlimShayD Would it require that much more though? We could see a video in which she talks about the implantation of the "test subject" and briefly summarizes the cure she plans to try. Maisie then freaks out because she thinks she was created and birthed just to be a test subject for her mom. Then we could get exposition from Wu, who worked with Maisie's mom instead of Ellie as her friend, who could tell Maisie that as her mom's pregnancy progressed, she seemed less enthusiastic about the prospect of trying Cure A on Maisie once she was born. Then he could say her mom suddenly decided to use Cure B instead, broke ties with Wu + the other shady people they were no doubt working with & destroyed the evidence when she left after curing Maisie.
Wouldn't she just use both? Cure B for the kid and A for herself after the birth as a last chance at surviving, I dunno maybe B works and A doesn't .. I haven't watched the movie, don't know if she died immediately after giving birth or whatever. Don't plan on seeing it after the last one, just love hearing people rant on it lol
I was shocked at how the movie trailers put so much emphasis on the relationship between humans and dinosaurs and how difficult life is for humans now bc there's the constant threat of death lurking, but then the entire movie just focused on the clones and locusts and literally barely touched on the issue of dinosaurs roaming free except for a few off hand comments here or there.
it made me not like the movie as much bc I was really looking forward to seeing how they tackle such a difficult problem and the fact that they just ignored it and kind of shrugged and was like oh yeah dinosaurs just live here now and we have to get used to it 🤷♀️🤷♀️ like wtf
The beginning scene with the mozasaur is just kind of insulting when you think about it
seriously, its like they made two movies and frankensteined them together
Exactly. I wanted a movie about dinosaurs not locusts. I love bugs but it’s always been about dinosaurs. I loved how they had some more realistic style dinosaurs but it didn’t help much when they weren’t the main part of the story. It sucks we don’t have a lot of dinosaur movies and sucks this one was pretty bad :(
What fans expected: A film showing the trouble and danger dinos would cause while being free in human society.
What Jurassic World Dominion delivered: Locusts!!!!
My vague recollection of the last movie is that there were, like, a dozen dinosaurs that got released. Where are all these dinosaurs coming from???
That's a valid point.
There were like 100 or so I think. (Haven’t watched the movie since theaters) And most of them had altered dna (in order to make the dna complete) and they used amphibians and reptiles for most of it. (At least in the original) And quite a lot of species can reproduce asexually or change their gender to be able to mate. So even if these random dinosaurs reproduced the real question is how did they all grow so fast?? And migrate so fast???
@@lovelydragon23 Because they were made to be attractions they might have some kind of accelerated maturation rate so they are ready faster, this may have either remained or mutated further as they reproduced, allowing population spikes.
It was about 50, and the secret of how to make dinosaurs got out in the last movie.
It takes a lion 3 or 4 years to grow to maximum size. And it's the same for a giraffe. Bigger things. Bigger stomachs. More fuel for growing bigger.
The technology to kill the locusts does indeed exist already. Back in the day some dude in Australia let hares loose on his property to hunt them (they're not native to Australia), one thing lead to another and the population got WAY out of control. The eventual solution was to create a deadly illness that only affected the rabbits and use the rabbits to spread it to each other. Of course, as the population dwindled the illness wasn't spread as much but it mostly worked.
Yah in my city there was like an invasion of mosquitoes and they released some mosquitoes with a gene so their offspring had a 50/50 chance to be infertile and it solved the whole thing
It always confuses me when humans attempt to change an existing ecosystem because they don’t like the current results, then have to meddle again to correct the fuckup they originally introduced.
Was the rabbit illness called myxomatosis?
Mecharnie Dobbs yes! it is!
@@geckomeat Oh dang, I didn't know where Myxomatosis came from. You still have to vaccinate your pet bunnies so they don't catch it when you let them roam around a bit in the garden etc.
Small error I noticed near the end - the Biosyn facility isn't on an island, it's in a valley in Sweden or Switzerland or somewhere in Europe with an "S" I can't remember.
Only idea how they're keeping the dinosaurs _in_ is that it has something to do with the brain chips they used to make them evacuate into the buildings.
Northern Italy, and it’s ringed by steep mountains so they can’t escape
It brought a tear to my eye when Chris Pratt walked into a dinosaur wedding in the forest and when he saw both the dinosaurs were female he shot them between the eyes with an elephant rifle
So he’s an extremist incel?
I loved that scene, truly a piece of art of modern cinema.
That sounds like something he would do
I was hoping this one would end with the T-Rex finally getting fed-up with having to save the human stars at the end of so many films and just eating them out of spite.
LMAO
Rexy just sits on the sidelines and just lets nature find it’s way to stop the humans 😂

My best friend was part of the test audience for this film and when I asked her if it was good, she just looked at me and shook her head very slowly. She was done with Jurassic World lol
I went in with low expectations for the movie and it somehow was able to disappoint me even more than I thought it would. Really sad that these multi million dollar Hollywood movies with access to all the resources out there still can't seem to get their projects together in a cohesive fashion. Jurassic Park deserves better. Heck audiences in general deserve better.
The Dodgson food thing bothered me too!!! I thought his first scene meeting Grant was so weird between the constant stuttering and bars.
Also: as far as the tiger question at the end of the video, we are quite literally just letting an entire herd of invasive hippos chill out in Columbia. They will eventually cause ecological collapse, but they’re just hanging out.
Does anyone else find it a bit hypocritical when they show that illegal dino ring and go "aww look 🥺 they're making the dinos fight this is so immoral and sad 🥺🥺" but then they proceed to have that big cinematic dino fight near the end?
Then again one happened by force and the other happened naturally
you see there's a difference between people making animals fight and animals fighting by themselves
I agree to a point, but what was even more messed up was the Giga was just being a dinosaur looking for food then that giant blind bird with spikes just stabs it like nothing, like was that really necessary? It really had no build up of tension of why we should be scared other than "yeah it's BIG".
@@wesleyfreeman5918 it's not happening naturally, though, the point I'm trying to make is that they were still forced to fight, but this time by the writers. It just seems a bit hypocritical of them to make that ring a small plot point when they're basically showing the audience the same thing, making dinosaurs fight for our entertainment
@@Yourleftismyright88 Yeahhh totally 😭
You lost me at the barbasol can. They brought it back just to lose it in the exact same way? Wow they're going for all the nostalgia points lol
That fucking Barbasol can is the apotheosis of lazy fucking nostalgia milking. It's an INATIMATE OBJECT; what is the feeling they're expecting to wrangle from this glorified plot device/ product placement? "Ahhhh yes, I remember when Newman got brutally killed by acid-spitting dinosaurs trying to smuggle out dinosaur DNA, and it served as a grim reminder that greed is nothing against the forces of nature."
It was so cheap, it killed me
Why is the filmic imagining of “clones” always so absurd - as though every memory, every sense the body has experienced etc would be exactly the same? It wouldn’t be unless one is imagining an exact “copy” made of a being that has lived until whatever age is being imagined. And copies are never the same as the original by definition. Sharing dna (see identical twins) is much much more complicated as genetic expression over a lifetime, and the fact that environments etc will mean that a “cloned” being would have different memories, different senses of the world, different environmental pressures, and their own unique identity. So, movies, “cloning” doesn’t mean that “cloned Cindy” would the same as “original” Cindy. Stop it.
I thought the same. The kid would just have been like a twin sister born later in life.
The Dino dying on the dock literally had me in tears and my dog who was for some reason paying attention to the movie so confused and was pawing at the tv to help the Dino
I really thought this film would deal with the earth being over run with dinosaurs, and humans trying to survive. I was expecting an apocalyptic dinosaur film with humans becoming an endangered species. Instead, we don't get any of that. Humans are actually having no problem adapting to sharing the planet with dinosaurs. Owen, Claire and Maisie even sit outside at night and roast marshmallows. This is with full knowledge that mega predators such as Allosaurus and Carnotaurus are roaming about. What da hell?! And what was up with the locusts? No one, and I mean NO ONE goes to a Jurassic film wanting to see mutant locusts. Yet here we are. The original cast looks so tired, especially Sam Neil whose mind looks like he's preoccupied with wether or not he be should get honey mustard on his sub sandwich at lunch. The film has no excitement, no wonder, no thrills. Worst of all it's boring. You know it's bad when a dinosaur film is boring. That's simply not a good thing. The intimidation factor of the T-rex and Raptors that reigned supreme has long since vanished. Remember how awesome and scary they were in Jurassic Park and The Lost World? Now its just "meh". This franchise has run out of fossil fuel (pun intended😎). God, what a letdown. Grade F.
Honestly I don’t think it would be on apocalyptic levels but it would definitely be a challenge for us to adapt to living with them, which I agree the movie should’ve explored.
But also yeah the T. rex and raptor fear is gone but it’s not like these things were much scary to begin with. Sure in the original JP they had suspenseful moments but really we don’t have to make them scary all the time. These are animals. The best they can do is intimidate with their presence.
That, and there’s so many more species out there worth seeing.
That disappeared when they decided to make TRex into Superman who comes in to save the day once again and the Raptors are now sisters of Owen? They really ruined a golden opportunity to show the consequences to what Ian warned them about from the first JP movie when it came to creating Dinosaurs for financial gain!
@@nicholasmallard2926 Agree 💯👍
What if we pretend the marshmallows are those lil Stay-Puft guys from Afterlife? I'm feeling more entertained already!! 😃👍
I thought it would’ve been a movie about the dinosaurs dominating society (hence the title of the movie *dominion*), but no. Instead the plot of the movie had little to absolutely nothing to do with dinosaurs. The plot could’ve been the same with or without them. The dinosaurs felt like a bonus to the setting
I listened to a podcast about the movie where they theorized that the locust plotline was created because somebody working on the films crunched the numbers and realized that, realistically, a couple dozen dinosaurs being set loose would not, in fact, be able to dominate the world. Even if they had managed to release, like, 1000 of them, we consider animals severely endangered at that number. A handful of dedicated hunters could track them down in a number of weeks, and it's not like dinosaurs are impervious to the same hunting methods used on other large animals.
@@GamingintheAM0801 Which is true, and frankly I'm glad it wasn't a movie where in a few years a small group of dinosaurs somehow magically overran the Earth.
However, they could have just skipped much more forward in time where many wild dinosaurs exist simply as a result of them being bred all over the planet for sale. Naturally there would be escapes and sabotage every now and then, and just like any other invasive species there would be some dinos that would find certain places they can thrive in despite humans trying to catch them. Smaller dinosaurs of course, nothing huge.
I want to let you guys in on a little fun fact.
Birds are dinosaurs, and therefore dinosaurs never actually went extinct, they already overrun the world by shitting on cars and being in our tasty chicken sandwiches.
@@tylere.8436 Everyone that says dinosaurs in casual conversation is referring to non-avian dinosaurs.
Nice flex tho.
@@Vynzent I'm aware, I'm just being that guy with the technicalities ready to be a buzz Killington
12:12 “How didn’t it drag him off his horse?” But…. It did. He had to quickly tie the rope around a stump after being dragged through the snow
I liked the part where the Minions were running around trying to escape the dinosaurs while speaking their gibberish. Glad minions are being cast in more versatile roles.
Call it pandering or fanservice but seeing the OG trio back was so fun for me. Wish we could’ve seen the three interacting more in this movie tbh, they’re way more enjoyable to watch than Owen or Claire or other adults (except Kayla).
They’re much stronger actors too. I was always more invested when they were on screen because the new cast is so boring. I hope they were compensated well as consolation for the film being so poor
It's definitely fanservice as in "they did it specifically to make the older audience happy", but imo, if fanservice means better actors, better characters, more fun storylines etc, then it's totally worth it. I'd say we should stop always assuming that fanservice is always something "bad" or "poorly done" because it's not necessarily true. :D
When you grew up with something it can be a bit hard to tell whether you like older actors because of being nostalgic or because they're truly better. But here I would 100% tell that the original cast and characters they play are just legit more fun than Chris Pratt and co.
Kayla was an incredibly obnoxious Mary Sue character who magically provided everything the characters needed and was also a lesbian badass that never had any issues and knew everything that was going on and was always there to do some important side goal for no reason or benefit to herself for total strangers. Also, did you notice that she was serving an all white cast? Interesting message.
Im glad they came back....i just wasn't happy with their script. The Grant/Satler love story was just far too drawn out for me. The chemistry they had in the first movie just wasn't there for me in Dominion.
@@LordRayken counterpoint: she was cool tho..
The fact that the protagonists of The Fallen Kingdom weren't to martial court for essencially domestic terrorism after releasing killing machines in the country is honestly the hardest thing to believe in a movie with MFING CLONES AND MUTATED DINOUSSARS is baffling
That’s what I’ve been saying. They aren’t heroes , they’re eco terrorists by willingly releasing invasive species and the Dinos killing who knows how many people . And yet they’re running around the world free , they should be in jail .
Wrong, the hardest thing to believe is that a woman could run in heels.
“Essentially “ shut up you dont deserve to use that filler word
wait do you mean realising or releasing? like, releasing as in let go or realising as in they had a realisation. Genuinly confused.
The hardest thing is the military can’t fight dinosaurs
I literally laughed multiple times in the theater saying "this is so dumb!" at the villain's evil scheme and later actions to cover things up.
At least the action was fine lol
I've only just started watching the video, but i really hope you bring up the editing.
Ppl were glitching, teleporting, it was so bad.
There is a scene in the movie where the whole gang is trying to get to a platform. They need to climb a ladder, but the new big bad dinosaur is blocking the way. Maisie is almost to the top with Ellie following behind. The IMMEDIATE next shot is all the gang already on the platform up against a wall. How did they all get up there with the dinosaur still stalking them...? The fire locusts are still falling from the sky sure, but what the actually heck is that edit?
Also when Owen & Clair first get on the plane Owen helps her up...twice...
Did the editor have a long blink?
Once this goes to streaming im going to need the video essay technical gang to just go to town on this movie.
I thought this was Jurassic World DoMINIONS, I went in expecting a Jurassic Park/Despicable Me crossover. I want my money back.
Jurassic world does minions
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Live action minions or animated Jurassic World? Or animation is mixed with live action?
@@cobinasaur I want them as realistic as the raptors
@@cobinasaur Live action minions and animated dinosaurs.
They really missed an opportunity for Dodson to have experimented on himself with locus DNA since you said he’s always eating.
Ya, like what was he eating!?! I thought I would lead up to some kind of dino/human mutation.
I kept expecting something like a genetic disorder being revealed as the reason for his eating and personal stakes for chasing Maisie, but NOPE, just wants money. Meh.
This movie made me feel like I had one of those weird dreams where you get in the car and start driving somewhere and you're kinda having fun but then you turn left and you're suddenly back where you started. It was confusing and unfulfilling. I was so sad that the series ended like this.
Just took my dad to watch it. It was a mess but I still had a good time and the theatre audience(myself included) all clapped when Alan and Ellie kissed(sorry for spoiling if anyone hasn’t seen it)
Spoiled but I don't care bc I'll probably never see it. Plus wasn't she married in Jurassic Park 3???
@@metalgrinch she divorced
I 100% agree with you here. I wanted more on the implications of dinosaurs just running free and what we would do about it. I also thought there was some fun banter between the old group and the new, but for the most part it seemed to rely too heavily on nostalgia (ie too many parallels between the first movie and this one and I also laughed at the "don't move" after which they all just moved). What was with Owen and his hand wavey dinosaur whisperer thing? I thought that that only worked in Jurassic World because he had a bond with the raptors he trained, as he had raised them from birth. Yet in this movie they have him (and Alan Grant and Maize) just going up to random dinosaurs waving their hands and it somehow works. How? Those dinosaurs don't know any of them and should have chomped their hands. I liked the pilot and I liked the tense moment with Claire after she parachutes into the sanctuary. But the dinosaur parkour sequence seemed like it was straight out of a Bourne Identity movie to me and I was uninterested in the plot around Maize. The first Jurassic Park will always and forever remain my favorite of the franchise.
After Fallen Kingdom I was personally hoping for some of the children from the first 3 movies to show up as experts in various fields that help people navigate a world amongst dinosaurs. I would happily trade several chase scenes for one of Hammond's granddaughter working in the private sector on a dinosaur security systems or for the boy from the 3rd movie to be a researcher at Biosyn.
@@VeginMatt Yes! That would've been great.
Clearly How to Train Your Dragon was on in the background of the writers room.
“But you know what? I’ve never claimed to be otherwise” is such a powerful statement and I will be using this.
I don't think the Barbasol can was the same one that Dodson gave to Nedri, I presumed that it was a prototype that Dodson had kept for sentimental reasons. He was clearly proud of it when he showed it to Nedri in Jurassic park, it was a very advanced piece of technology!
Then why would the can be covered in dry mud lol
how would he even have got it? one of the best things about nedrys end was that he was lost in the effing jungle where no one would ever find his bones

Here’s how the movie should’ve ended: The dinosaurs kill all of humanity and take back the Earth.
Counter argument.............. we have guns. Lots of them. Big ones too. Armor piercing if you're looking for something spicy lol
@@bluelanternguardianangel8038 dinosaurs don’t have armour silly they’d be immune to that
I watched this movie with my family last week after graduating high school. My sister's seat smelled horrible and everytime she moved the smell would waft around. We were making fun of the movie and having a great time. We both hate it, though, but the experience was fun.
my dream sequel to this is that Ian Malcom decides to live with the dinosaurs and it becomes like faux-documentary
honestly, the theory of having lockwood cloning her daughter with dinosaur genetics was a great conception, which makes it absolutely disturbing but is still nice to know ngl. the fact that this concept was debunked by having lockwood's actual daughter the person responsible for cloning maisie as her own sets off an uninteresting tone... really not a nice plot twist imo
Yknow there's a lot of interesting ways they could have explored the ecological disaster. Like the dilemma of eradicating the dinasours because of the potential damage they could do to the environment(which is already vulnerable) or just letting this new ecosystem stabilize at the risk of changing the planet forever. And figuring out how exactly to do that in a way that doesn't kill off humanity.
But that demands too much thinking. Evil megacorp nanite locusts it is.
If this was the plot, the Dominion would be better than JW.
This was a spot on review, from the flaws to the fun parts! I'm still disappointed more named characters didn't die.
Did the movie ever even explain what the villain’s motivations were? There were plenty of exposition dumps, but none that were actually informative. Also the weird character trait of him always being hungry lead time to believe he had spliced himself with locust DNA and was interested to see how that would play out, but all that ended up happening was he just died the exact same way the villain from the first one died.
Another thing, I hated the dialogue so much. Everytime the legacy characters opened their mouths, it was just mind numbing. All they did was make references to past better movies and spout stupid quips. I especially hated every time Jeff Goldblum would speak, my eyes probably almost got stuck in the back of my head from how hard I was rolling them.
The lack of actual stakes in this movie completely divested me really early on. The only characters with any potential to die were nameless goons, whereas anyone could have died in the originals. Plot armor is not something a thriller movie should have.
Finally, I hated how the dinosaurs were portrayed. Herbivores were all portrayed as big cows and carnivores were all bloodthirsty monsters. It was just so boring.
The only saving grace of this movie is the visuals for the dinosaurs, because I am not immune to cool dinosaurs. However everything else was HOT GARBO.
It would have been funny if that 1 single modified locust was released and as it flew into the field a big bird or something acme along and caught it right out of the air and ate it and the movie ended with Woo's hands on the back of his head going "Oh, shit! Oh, fuck!" The End!!!
Okay, so not only is the plot twist where Lockwood's daughter cloning herself, AND giving birth to herself super weird and gross, but it's also kinda narcissistic when you think about it.
Plus thats a birth defect just waiting to happen in the future. Or a madman being born alongside the bloodline, going on a killing spree for sport like some of these dinos
Yes!!! Thank you this bothered me so much
I which they’d just entirely scrapped the stupid cloned child plotline
@@Mwriggles yeah agreed I was weirded out.
I thought his daughter died and the old man like... recreated her in a test tube or some shit? If it was the women herself who did it... why?
I've never seen the newest movie and I'm so confused lmao
The dino dying on the dock had me crying intermittently for the rest of the movie, and every time I tried to explain why I hated it to friends afterwards.
I came into this movie for one thing and that was for the dinosaurs... everything else was meaningless...
although it's pretty sad, because some of the plot points could have been interesting. how the world is going to have to live with dinosaurs and the black market aspect could have been good...also I really didn't want clone girl drama....
"Making their sad oowoo noises, it makes me think of little foots mom dead in a valley-" I choked-
Land before Time movies has more stakes lol
@@scorpleeon truuuueeee
I haven't seen the new one, but One of the most confusing thing about Fallen Kingdom was WHY they needed to rescue the Dinosaurs from Isla Nublar. Like, WASN'T there a second Island full of Dinosaurs where JP 2 and 3 take place?
Those were Site B, I believe that's where they breed dinosaurs before transferring them or something, but it seems like they were shutdown while JW was being built
Wasn't the island from JP3 the same one from JP1?
@@mrpurple11 No. The Jurassic Park sequels both take place in Isla Sorna.
@@whatalsaid oh i get it. Thanks
I think Isla Sorna was retconned out of existence, otherwise the crux of Fallen kingdom doesn't work, as the dinos wouldn't go extinct because there was a second island.
Not that they could keep their facts straight within this set of films, lest we forget they added raptor DNA to the Indominus... because they forgot it already was a raptor.
Can't believe we had Raptor Jesus in this movie and they didn't do anything with that
I honestly despised how they wrote Dodgson in this one. He’s a frighteningly realistic sociopath in the books but they took away all of his grounded real-world menace and made him a wimpy Tim Cook parody?
The first hour is a snooze fest. It was decent though. A few too many callbacks that were cringeworthy. Jeff Goldblum always kills it.
Jerf Goldbum was the only bright spot of the whole movie
@@mrblowhole7263 he did look like he did not want to be there though imho
Unhinged rants about movies I’ve never seen are one of my favorites things to watch
I saw it on release and to be honest I'm still waiting for the payoff to the B story of Dodgson being...weird? I could feel for a large majority of the movie we were building to some reveal that he like had Dinosaur DNA inside him and he had some sinister plot and had to eat some special food item to keep it contained but no...he just dies...?
I think the biggest thing missing from this new trilogy is the tension of actual dinosaur-related danger, to the point that I'd say I'm fairly confident that zero sympathetic characters get eaten in all 3 of them?
In Jurassic Park you lose the hunter guy, in Lost World you've got the tech guy who gets eaten by the pair of T-Rex, in #3 you've got the guy who put together the plane crew as well as both of his henchmen who might have misrepresented things but from the way people forgive the parents it's clear that isn't such a horrible thing.
Like, not ONLY bad or indifferent character die, and that's ultimately what makes those movies feel more like horror movies than action/adventure, but that's where this set dropped the ball to me.
yeah what the heck we already genetically modify mosquitos to make fewer mosquitos in the wild... are spooky ancient grasshoppers just, more complicated??
My thoughts exactly!
How could they do our Kings and Queen Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill like this?
Execs: Easy. Money.
Nostalgia-bait…

The therizinosaurus side-swiping a deer makes sense as an ark player lol those things are vicious!
This. All I could think about was Ark while watching. It just seemed like they played Ark and said “Let’s put in as many dinos from Ark as we can” and I loved it. 😂😂😂 Damn, Therizinos!
LOVE Ark!! 😊
@@Inusgirl05 I was literally thinking the exact same thing! As I was watching the trailer I’m like oh…we’ve got LOTS of new dinosaurs that we’ve conveniently never seen previously…oh and they have feathers now! 🤦♀️ the writers for this movie definitely played ark and thought, oooo let’s add that and that and that! 😂
Till this day, I have no idea why the characters in the World trilogy thought it's a good idea to rebuild the park after the original park became a total disaster. I hate when the villains' motivation was unclear and just summoned up everything by one word, "money" it literally makes the villains look like cartoons when the entire movie was supposed to be realistic like the original movie
Indeed, if the original theme park was shown to be a terrible idea, and has gotten many innocent and not so innocent people killed, then it makes no sense to continue with the dinosaur theme park.
Not saying the movie is great, but alot of atrocites from corporations, and lack of empathy for those affected by it have been overlooked for the sake of money.
If they were going for a snobby business villain. I think that's fine. I just think the execution of it should've been better. I would've taken a "cartoon" version of the main antagonist over the deadpan boring one we got. He showed emotion like- twice through out the whole movie.
@@Gameplayer158 but that would've take down the entire movie's quality if the villain was just cartoon with unclear motivation especially the movie surrounding it that's supposed to be realistic. This is a sci fi movie, not a comic book movie. Also deadpan boring would just make the villain a lot more worse if the villains have unclear motivation. As villains, we're supposed to understand their motivation, and if the motivation is just money, how can we feel some sort of sympathy for him. Look at the Joker in The Dark Knight and Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men, both are crazy psychopath villains of course but their motivation is clear so I could understand their presence in the movie. Here the villains just feel so disposable and throwaway
@Aniara Yeah, but it's about as simplistic as "I wanna take over the world." It's not engaging at all.
@Aniara and yet they didn't developed the villain all that much so I just don't care about it. It's basically that taking over the world and killing bunch of innocent people, that's just too cartoon
I cried like a b1tch when I saw that dino dying on the dock waiting for some salvation🥺
By the time they were all together in the mushroom shaped building from then on it was like watching a group of people try to do a really dumb and easy escape room series together
Never thought I'd see the day where a Top Gun sequel, which is primarily a beat-for-beat callbacks remake, yet somehow improves the original...is the best example of how to do that in a film...but here we are.
When Sam Neill & Laura Dern were cast, I was really interested in how they'd tie them back in...but I also had ZERO hope of a great film considering the plot/storyline of Fallen Kingdom, but after what you described, the BEST thing out of all of that is Grant/Sattler FINALLY ending up together.
“Dinosaurs Making sad ooo ooo noises” 😟 I feel that
Sitting in the theater thinking "Ah, now eventually you do plan on having dinosaurs in your dinosaur movie, right?"
I literally screamed during the scene in the cave when they're fighting against that horde of Dimetrodons. 1. Because they just keep popping up out of nowhere, and 2. THOSE AREN'T DINOSAURS!!! My friends were so done with me by the time we left the theater 😂
2:42 Honestly, I would have loved to see them go in that direction, even if it's from a "Well, they already jumped the shark by cloning a human, might as well go all-in on the crazy" perspective. I would have died a happy man if the film included a scene where, in a sick callback to Jurassic Park III, they meet a talking velociraptor who's first words were "Alan".
Amanda, you aren't alone. Fallen Kingdom also broke me.
I could only watched it once
@@XWierdThingsHappenX I think I watched it twice, and couldn't anymore after that. I was fine with the stupidity of dinosaurs in the mansion, whatever. But I couldn't handle all the dying dinos on Nublar OR the potential gassing at the end (though that hit less on the second watch obviously). But first watch through I was like - if they just sit there and watch those dinosaurs get gassed, I will be so pissed.
@@cassandratremblay5802 I thought the ending of it was laughable. The ending was all built up as if it was the end of humanity. That people would just roll over and do nothing about it.
@@cassandratremblay5802 honestly, I think I'd have preferred to have them all be gassed. Maise basically doomed all of humanity because she thinks "they are alive, like me"
The mansion chase was alright but the unnecessary cruelty to the dinos at the start, that weird blood transfusion scene, hardly any tension between the dinos and humans.
I just could not even enjoy it. And I liked World. It wasn't perfect but it still felt like a JP film in spirit
The level of hate that Amanda feels toward Fallen Kingdom is a perfect representation for my feelings about the Last Jedi. I will never get over that pointless raging dumpster fire…
my favorite is the opening(opening?) where they're running with the horses at sunrise/sunset and it's just stock footage
