If one were to rank the many things "Jurassic World Dominion" is trying to be, you'd list 'Indiana Jones homage', 'James Bond riff' and a 'Day After Tomorrow-style ecological thriller' all before arriving at 'Jurassic Park story.' This nostalgia-fueled popcorn flick is lacking one crucial element: It's a "Jurassic Park" movie where the dinosaurs feel almost incidental. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews this trilogy capper.
BRIAN VINER: With Jurassic World Dominion, the last film of the second Jurassic trilogy and sixth overall, it appears to have bellowed its last. We can only hope.
There's only so much filmmakers can do with creatures that disappeared from the planet millions of years before humans came on the scene. When a tycoon thinks he can get even richer by exploiting the surviving dinosaurs from the failed Jurassic Park, it doesn't take a psychic to realize that no matter how many platitudes he spouts, he'll end up as a dino dinner.
