There’s nothing in “Jurassic World: Dominion” that comes close to that first T-Rex attack from “Jurassic Park,” or any scene from it. Or for that matter, one of the scenes from Spielberg’s sequel ‘The Lost World,’ which made the most of an inevitable cash grab scenario by treating the film as an excuse to stage a series. of dazzling large-scale action sequences. , and casting Jeff Goldblum’s chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm as the action hero. Goldblum, who reprises her role in “Dominion” alongside fellow original cast members Sam Neill and Laura Dern, turned her “Lost World” performance into a tongue-in-cheek but gritty meta-commentary on corporate capitalism.
Incidentally, nothing in this new film is as good as the best parts of “Jurassic Park III”, “Jurassic World” and “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”, the latter suffering from diminishing returns syndrome, but still managed to stage a crackerjack action scene or a dino attack here and there. JA Bayona’s mix of “Fallen Kingdom,” which provides literal and figurative DNA to the “Dominion” plot, had the most surprising pivots since Spielberg’s original wonder footage (think that gloomy shot of the brachiosaurus left behind on the dock) and mixing gothic horror and haunted house movie elements in its second half. ‘Jurassic Park’ creator Michael Crichton’s original inspiration for Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was referenced through the character of Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon), a clone created by John Hammond’s business partner to replace the daughter that he lost.
