Jurassic World Dominion is a 2022 American science fiction action film directed by Colin Trevorrow, who co-wrote the screenplay with Emily Carmichael. Based on a story by Trevorrow and Derek Connolly, it is a sequel to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), the third and final film in the Jurassic World trilogy, and the sixth installment overall in the Jurassic Park franchise, concluding the storyline from the original Jurassic Park trilogy. As with its predecessors, Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley produced the film with Trevorrow and Jurassic Park (1993) director Steven Spielberg as executive producers. The film stars an ensemble cast including Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, BD Wong, and Omar Sy. Dern, Goldblum, and Neill reprise their roles from the Jurassic Park trilogy, appearing together for the first time since the 1993 film.

Best JP movie since the original. Fight me.
Can you talk about Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, it was a good show. Plus they gave Velma a girlfriend.
Critic Now that you finish the whole "Jurassic park/world series" what are you gonna review next ? also I'm the mother F**King t-rex!
Hey critic, which is a worse trilogy, jurassic world or the recent star wars trilogy?
Would live to see a video on that
One of the movies ever
I'm sorry, but the "Is that your daughter?" cut to Doc Brown yelling "It's a science experiment!" had me frigging rolling 🤣.
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? bruh, why are you spamming this everywhere?
@@mrknowhere6457 It does seem very self explanatory, dude wants a review of it
same lmao
@Furious Kaiser I thought ouch.
The only thing missing was a "I was frozen today"
The jeff goldblum theory is hilarious. There is literally a video of Jeff watching impressions of him, rating them and gushing over them in approval. He's a fan.
Jeff Goldblum is an absolute treasure. I sat through this whole movie, and he made it fun. NOBODY plays Jeff Goldblum like Jeff Goldblum!
FACTS.
Even when Doug mocks him, you can’t deny he must like Goldblum’s awkward charm
A goldblum and cage crossover with a walken cameo.
AGREED 100%! 👍👍
Still a charmer in his sixties.
"It's rebooting!"
"It shouldn't be doing that!"
We'll be saying this more as the years go by because screenwriters with original concepts are becoming sparse throughout Hollywood.
Sad thing is that there ARE many good screenwriters writing new, bold, experimental scripts, but the film industry (like every other capitalist industry) is so single-mindedly fixated on massive, immediate profits that they just refuse to take any risks on them, instead, they rely on safe formulas that they know will draw in money, and milk em for as long as physically possible by forcing the formula into EVERY main major film they make until they get worn and unprofitable. They choose bad directors and writers because they don't care about quality, they want to make as much money as possible and use their formulas to get it, not the style of any director or the script.
They are the ULTIMATE scavengers, as, like vultures, they will immediately descend on any major successful film and analyze it so they can force those tropes, character types, storylines, factions, even cinematography, color patterns/schemes, plot points/twists, etc. Onto their future films to get on the gravy train. This happened with Marvel - the first films were such a financial success the film industry studied what made them successful and applied those findings to nearly every major film they produced since, which is why so many movies oddly feel like Marvel movies today - like Jurassic World. It's capitalism.
Only in a matter of time will the audiences fight back with such mundane (or rather paint-by-numbers) movies and stop paying for such drivel. Imagine a future where there's a movie industry equivalent to the Video Game Crash of 1983. Too much mediocrity will make even the most casual watchers say 'no thanks'.
To fans it'd wither even faster. There is a finite selection of heroes one could make a movie out of. How many more _Fast and Furious_ sequels can there be? How about a fourth rendition of _Halloween_ ... but in SPACE!? @@Moosemoose1
@DareToBeDeviant Sadly, there are far too many braindead fans who just want to see dinosaurs fight, regardless of the quality of the movie. So many people have grown up their entire lives with this dumbed down crap and have already been conditioned to accept and enjoy these kind of films. So long as they keep going to the movies and paying for mindless crap that's what we're going to get unless studios are forced to change (or we get rid of capitalism).
OH and ten bucks I guarantee you when the gravy train thickens they'll introduce the next big trend: Brand Crossovers - where they'll get 2 dying franchises and make a one-off film (or more) where both main casts meet just so the studio can keep the megabucks up - because that's what film studios only care about: franchises.
@@DareToBeDeviant Exactly. We're already seeing it with Disney's absolutely apocalyptic box office summer last year, while Dune is absolutely killing it. The MCU is falling to pieces thanks to fatigue, while Spiderverse and The Boys are getting everyone hyped.
It's obviously going to take more than a few outliers to completely shift an entire industry, but the current status quo is clearly unsustainable. So wether they like it or not, the investors are going to have to leave the comfort zone of throwing increasing amounts of money to increasingly safe and bland projects, and start listening to the creative minds that Hollywood is infested with, yet have gone completely ignored for decades.
It's gonna take time, but I'm optimistic. Hell, we might even get out of the CGI clusterfuck hellscape that we're currently in and start seeing practical filmmaking more often again.
Since Doug mentioned this in the video already, the 4th movie had better be good!
Cause I've been disappointed way too many times, and I want film makers to stop screwing with me and my nostalgia!
Give JP fans what they want and not shoving in your own ideas that no one cares about!
I actually have an idea for the movie for, instead of mutated locus, I would make it like there's a prehistoric disease that was accidentally brought back with the dinosaurs slowly killing everyone and the antidote is somewhere in the dino's DNA, mainly Blue's daughter since it's the only naturally born dinosaur in the movie that we know of. I know it's not better, but it still involves the dinosaurs instead of bugs.
You mean like in the Lost World Novel? Part of the reason for the exhibition was because there was a disease going around from dinosaur to dinosaur if a person comes in contact with that disease they would die instantly.
Seriously, they had a lot of resources from the books as well as unused content from the movies that could have been used in the Dominion.
@@CynderSpirit I didn't know that. I actually never knew that there was novels until a little bit ago. If you're right, then I can see why people say that the books of movies are better.
@@coachlombardi9657 There are two novels both with the same name Jurassic Park and Lost World both written by Michael Crichton. The books are science fiction/horror base compare to the movies where they were toned down because of kids.
@@CynderSpirit Thanks. Out of curiosity, which do you like better in your opinion. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
@@coachlombardi9657 I like both the books and the movies (at least the first two movies).
I laughed way too hard at the “It’s rebooting.” , “Nahh- it shouldn’t be doing that!” (Ta-da!) joke.
I most certainly agree.
That one caught me.
Honestly, I would love to see a mockumentary of dinos living during modern times. Like, a series of short films focusing on different species and locations.
That sounds like it could be very interesting.
They'd never do that. It would be too interesting.
Like an anthology series? That would be pretty cool!
Instead of introducing genetically engineered locusts, they could have had the newly released dinosaurs disrupting the food chain and wiping out other species.
Made by aardman
So the so the blind dinosaur is called a therizinosaurus. It was a plant eater but there is proof that it inflicted injuries and death on other dinosaurs because the wound patterns in the bone are the same thickness as the claws. So while it was a plant eater it is thought that it was super territorial and hyper aggressive like a hippopotamus.
Also known by some people as the tickle Chicken
>Tickle Chicken
I see you too, survived the Ark
Also known as the Murder Turkey
@@flyingkage This. Best name!
Sickle Tickle Chicken
@@flyingkage that's a terror bird
The t.rex and giga interaction with the deer carcass is a good scene. It shows how 2 predators interact without wanting to risk their lives and end it before it escalates. It's one of the only scenes where the dinosaurs act like animals
Yes that was a good scene... I'm amazed Doug didn't even bring up that they COPIED THE END OF THE FIRST MOVIE!!! Replace the Indominus with Giga, and Blue with the Therizino.
It was definitely a good scene. It shows territorial behaviour like modern day predators.
@@nahor88 Honestly, I felt bad for the Giga since she really did nothing wrong beyond her own instincts and that warrants her being horrifically stabbed and killed.
It may have been accurate as far as nature goes, but it did nothing to build up the Giganotosaurus as some kind of bad guy, which is what they tried to make it later in the movie. The ending was baffling since it basically just casts the poor thing as the main villain and acts like we are supposed to be happy or relieved that it gets killed.
@@johnjsal I agree. While it was cool to see Rexy acting more like an animal instead of a monstrous beast who would attack and kill whoever got in her way for a change, the Giganotosaurus being the main big bad dino came out of nowhere. They did a much better job with the Indominus Rex for that. Though you could go the more funny route and think Rexy saw these people so many times that she grew attached to them and decided to fight the Giga to save them since she never went after these people herself in this movie.
I will say, kudos to that guy straight up getting both hands eaten and practically being ripped in half by the dinos, and _still_ managing to get out requested exposition. Definitely funnier than the "eating up time and dying as he's about to spill the beans" bullshit.
In the film, The kidnapped was getting his whole arm eaten and the guy didn’t even react as it hurt 😂… he just let it happen.. like how?!
The only impression the Giganotosaurus made on me is that I felt bad for it. It didn't even do anything wrong!
You're not the only one.
Yah it's the only one that didn't kill anyone.
@@badgerwijohnson4081 it was too busy attacking something it didn't even want to eat
That's because they cut out the scene in the beginning where a Giga kills a T. Rex, so when the blind Therizinosaurus and Rexy kill the Giga at the end it's supposed to be payback.
yeah i agree, i think its due to that the giga is built up on from the games and books.. it being the biggest 'giganotosuarus'- giant lizard, the badest- t-rex killing (what spino no mention..ok) apex lord of dinos and yet in actuality like with most prehistoric animals...its just an animal with teeth and claws. An herbivour known for being anti carnivor killer(therazinosaurus) helped in its defeat lol, only reason it went out like it did is cus the T-REX is the star of these movies. In dino crisis 2- giga killed the t-rex, walking with dinos documentary- giga killed the t-rex, fan made filem, giga killed the t-rex..in the film that started it all......T-REX kills giga.
The movie would been the funniest Jurassic park movie if when owen held up his hand to distract the dinosaurs it just bit off his hand like yeah that shit don't work on me 🤣😂😂😂
It really shouldn't work on anyone but Blue. He raised that group of raptors, and that was his signal to them. It's not some universal signal that all Dinosaurs follow, it was a specific action he taught to the specific dinosaurs that he raised.
Blue did bite his hand but apparently she didn't take it off and he heals really fast.
@@PittsburghSportsFan43 plot armor at its finest
Infuriating how much they use it. I would love to see an arm bitten off for it.
@@PittsburghSportsFan43 actually blue just scratched owen's hand.
The delivery of "there's going to be another shitty sequel" had me dying
Hey, when your state is in a huge franchise movie, the theater LOVES IT. "Hey kids, we live in a dino fossil site" gets ignored, but seeing it in a movie is impressionable. They don't even say a city, just "utah"
I know I had that reaction when I saw it in the theater.
Imagine if Dinosaurs ruled the world now, and Jeff Goldblum was our only hope
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Um well that um would be um really something?
We would all die
Ha ha haaa… Yasunavabitch… We’re doomed.
Best case scenario
God, wouldn’t it be cool if the whole triology was a Planet of the Apes type thing where the dinosaurs were the focus and Blue was the main character? She could escape in the first one, learn to live in the human world second, and have a kid in the third that gets kidnapped.
That sounds amazing
A dino already learned to talk, like Caesar, it said "Alan."
A PoTA style story would’ve been interesting. Just no talking animals of course, but actually have them run loose
You just literally summed up the entire series.😄
They need to do that
I can't understand why they didn't make black market dealing with dinosaurs the main threat of the movie. Seeing a criminal underworld dealing in dinosaurs would be awesome, and could relate to the real world issue of the exotic animal trade.
Exactly, underground best part of movie.
Honestly, if you want to watch a cool story with dinosaurs in it, and zero human dialogue, Primal is an amazing show about a caveman and T-Rex pairing.
Real talk. I love Spear and Fang. The first episode hit deep man.
The Night Stalker episode was freaky deaky.
Its the rated M version of Mario and Yoshi
Thanks for reminding me. Gotta see Season 2
I'm just shocked nobody in Hollywood has had the idea to aquire the film rights to Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, or Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.
I plan to check it out.
There is a disturbing reason why Dotson is not the same guy, the original actor from JP was sentenced to prison for child sex related crimes, so it might explain why they made him like that, to avoid the original actors involvement with the films
I knew it, his forehead isn't big enough
What for real! I hope he wish he got eaten by a Trex
OMG! No wonder I didn't recognize him at first!
When he goes to hell, dinosaurs should be involved in his torture
If that's their reason for changing the portrayal of thr character then it really backfired. Because Dodson was written, casted, acted and directed completely wrong.
My friend has a big fan of the books and he HATED watching Dodson in this.
The 3-way fight of the Dino’s at the end just felt like the filmmakers threw in a quick t-Rex fight because everyone loves the t-Rex fights
I mean, they literally just did a repeat of what they did in the first Jurassic World (which was laughably terrible even then)
@@Moosemoose1Why was it terrible it’s dinosaurs biting each other what do you want?
@Gojira19542 I want my Jurassic Park movies with SUBSTANCE: good acting and well-written characters, a solid story, character development, ethical deliberation about mankind's hubris and the destructive power of the God complex reflected by our species' desire to know and control everything, I want the dinosaurs to remain distant from humans to represent the chaotic product of this hubris, not to coexist with them.
I dont want "good" and "bad" dinosaurs, or anthropomorphized dinosaurs with human emotions. I don't want "tamed" dinosaurs (it goes entirely against the whole CONCEPT of Jurassic Park). I dont want more tired pandering to nostalgia. I dont want a T-Rex in every. single. movie - it cheapens the effect when you see Rexy doing the same thing over and over again. I don't want to see the storyline thrown to the side just for some dumb, unnecessary dinosaur fight. I want dinosaurs fights to have meaning and tension, and you get none of that when the entire movie is a visual form of ADHD with fast-paced scenes that simply act to move from one chase/encounter/fight to another. You cant properly worldbuild when you blaze through the world from one setting to the next in order to get to the next action sequence.
I'm not some mindless 5 year old child lacking an attention span who ONLY wants to see dinosaurs fighting each other; I'm not so easily amused by something as overdone and cheap as a Dino fight, I have standards. If I wanted a cheap popcorn action movie DESIGNED to be dumb and fun, I'd watch Cocaine Bear, King Kong, Godzilla or any Marvel movie ever made.
@@Moosemoose1Just read the book. You can tell I’m a Godzilla fan so I think you know I want dinosaurs fighting each other.
@@LV426Resident Nothing wrong with a dinosaur fight if its written well - Jurassic Worlds fights look like a kid wrote them and are way too cheesy. I only needed to see the first one to know the others were going to be awful.
I remember both my friend and I being really angry that in the black market scene the cops all have guns and tell the lady to hands up, but graciously give her enough time to open the dinosaur cages and tag them all with a laser pointer so they could die a death that’d be avoided by unloading their clips into her and the dinosaurs
They forgot that guns exist.
Oh I mean, force applicators.
Atrociraptors
the dinosaur union reserves the right to randomly disallow proper firearm usage for unscheduled amounts of time. i hear their union rep is quite the lawyer and politicion....... had to give up casual fridays for that union right. since most members dont wear clothes anyways i dont think it will be missed.
@@Everlucky_Clover I bet Alec Baldwin is involved somehow
That’s gotta be on TV Tropes: people having guns on others but not firing when the others move to stop them. Maybe the cliché name is “How Do These Guns Work?” or maybe “Guns Are A 2-Turn Move”
9:54 I'm surprised Doug didn't acknowledge this guy 😂. When I saw this in theaters and saw that guy I laughed it was like they were trying to show us a glimpse of someone who looked like Nedry in the first film.
No kidding
Peter Griffin
@@CMBGAMER2018TV 😂 FACTS and I just also think of Newman also played by Wayne Knight from the first Jurassic Park.
some how a peter and nedry hybrid
I thought the same thing and I just- 😆 lol
“It’s like a godzilla film where they’re big focus was mold”
Except a Godzilla film would actually make mold interesting
It would probably be a new Kaiju or something killing them off.
So Godzilla vs Hedorah. That movie is also a literal fever dream.
Have a scene where a swarm of tiny pterosaurs fights the swarm of bugs.
That's a big pile of fish.
@@dalekrenegade2596 yep. Strong ecological psychedelic vibe
The answer to the "dinosaurs invading the human world" question is a simple one:
Delivering on that requires a lot of long-term worldbuilding, and if Hollywood wanted to do worldbuilding they wouldn't resort to reboots, remakes, and adaptations.
22:32 Remember in Amphibia when they mentioned that they had flaming, locust tornadoes? It sounded like a joke, but it was actually true? Never thought I'd see a Jurassic World movie create a flaming, locust tornado!
I'm amazed you made no mention of the fact that the laser targeted dinos that could keep up with Pratt on a motorcycle somehow still didn't manage to catch Howard on foot. It was running away from a T-REX in high heels all over again.
Reminds me of how the indoraptor which was basically a modified raptor couldn't smell its prey from inside a mansion when a regular raptor could smell its from up to a mile away
If it was only Goldblum for the 2 plus hours, it would have been a cinematic masterpiece
I agree. Especially if he sees a weird looking dino and goes "um uh what!"
Definitely!
"I'm a thing, for some reason." Caught the whole vibe of this film in one sentence. Kudos!! (Also, Rob is killing it as Ian in this video).
Its the typical Hollywood writing. An overly long boring movie where characters go to point A to get a thing to B to get a thing from C etc., except this time the point is a person running away to A, B, and C and has to be picked up again. LAME! That never works in modern movies unless it's Infinity War.
@@MforMovesets 💯💯💯. Sooo true
he sucks
This movie took the coolest concept that could be used with dinosaurs, having them roam the world and interact with a human-dominated Earth, and did nothing with it. They took the coolest thing you could put into a movie, dinosaurs, and put them in the backseat. They made the main villain of the movie mutated locust and that one guy who appeared literally once in the very first film just so they could make a convoluted "save the environment" message that wasn't even fully focused on the message. They took every last microbe of potential this movie had and sucked it out to replace it with a placebo, that being the original cast returning and reuniting, thinking that would somehow make up for everything.
And this movie somehow STILL made almost a full goddamn billion
I'm expecting the announcement for another trilogy in the near future
That long clawed dinosaur is called the therizinosaurus.
I feel like they're scared to make the dinosaurs rampage throughout the world because then they would have to go from a PG 13 to an R rating
If they can do it in Lost World, they can damn well do it now!
If a war movie can be PG-13 (Dunkirk), then a dinosaur rampage can be as well.
@@dariusslim8694 the lost world was in the 90s. This is the 2020s. It’ll scare the Karen’s offspring.
You want an R-Rated Jurassic Park? Then read the book. Trust me, it puts the whole franchise into perspective.
@@futuregadgetlabmember5320 I've read the books many times and I agree if they had stuck with the source material more we would have had a much better franchise I feel
The smile that always crosses my face when Rob shows up for a Jeff Goldblum impression :D
He's good 👍
It seemed to have evolved. I'll always find the one from the Lost World Review entertaining but this one was hilarious
The problem with dinosaurs vs humans is that when it’s in a slasher setting that works but when you try to make it an apocalypse setting then it suddenly doesn’t work.
“Oh no a dinosaur!”
*gunshot
“Well that was easy.”
This was the movie that taught me “It’s ok to leave in the middle of the movie”
And our mom tricked me and my dad to watch it no less!
Another fun fact about this film: Trevorrow stated that the film would be set around the world, and said that the idea of Henry Wu being the only person who knows how to create a dinosaur was far-fetched "after 30 years of this technology existing" within the films' universe. Additionally, the film would focus on the dinosaurs that were freed at the end of Fallen Kingdom, but it would not depict dinosaurs terrorizing cities, an idea that Trevorrow considered unrealistic. Instead, Trevorrow was interested in a world where "a dinosaur might run out in front of your car on a foggy backroad, or invade your campground looking for food. A world where dinosaur interaction is unlikely but possible--the same way we watch out for bears or sharks. We hunt animals, we traffic them, we herd them, we breed them, we invade their territory and pay the price, but we don't go to war with them." Trevorrow said that the film would also be about Owen and Claire's redemption, and their responsibility to take care of Maisie, a cloned girl from the previous film. Trevorrow said about the film and its predecessors, "I have a dinosaur movie that I've always wanted to see, and it took two movies to earn it."
And that’s not what we got
There are no animals like dinosaurs. Comparing a "Jurassic Park" velociraptor to a bear is hilarious. They would literally destroy the entire ecosystem. All mammals would probably go extinct. This movie was so fucking bad.
"Dinosaurs terrorizing cities is unrealistic." Because dinosaurs being cloned through DNA extracted from mosquitos is TOTALLY realistic. Also wasn't the climax of The Lost World a dinosaur terrorizing a city? T-Rex in San Diego? Ring any bells?
Well, at least HE enjoyed it.
I wish that that version of the movie is what we got, then it would have at least been a fun time if nothing else
Jurassic Park: The Jerry Seinfeld of Franchises
6:14
I loved this scene and I just want a entire movie dedicated to basically cowboys and dinosaurs. Like fuck science or sense just let me enjoy a bunch of cowboys moving a herd of dinosaurs fending off small raptors and maybe killing a T Rex. I want my Dinosaur Western.
OK I see several comments about the Valley of Gwangi. It's a great film and I won't talk bad about it. But it's 53 years old, so whilst good it's been that long give or take without something similar with modern effects. So again good film, but we need a modern day equivalent.
Did you watch the good dinosaur? It has a similar plot to what you just said.
Valley of Gwangi
@@JWeb66 Oh. I see.
Valley of Gwangi is a thing
YES my thought exactly when I saw that
I am a massive Jurassic Park/World fan. Not just because I love dinosaurs, but I love good stories and films too. There hadn't been a single jurassic movie that I did not like and/or love, and Nostalgia Critic's reviews of the franchise always left a bad taste in my mouth because he skims over a lot of crucial details that actually answer a lot of the stuff that he criticizes and rants over. Out of all his reviews, his Jurassic reviews are by far my LEAST favorite because of how much they infuriate me.
....... so imagine my surprise, when I clicked to watch this video....... and I found myself agreeing with almost everything he said, because this was probably the most disappointing movie I've seen in a long time.
I definitely feel you there. Originally I though NC bashed great movies for attention, until many people told me NC was just a character riffing on movie like MST3K.
But now I'm starting to see why some of these movies he riffs on are so bad. Me personally though, I liked Dominion more than Fallen Kingdom, but out of all the movies, the first JP is still the best IMO.
@@nine_tails137 I actually REALLY enjoyed Fallen Kingdom, I know I'm in the minority with that, but at least Fallen Kingdom had a coherent story even if most people felt like it jumped the mosasaur. With Dominion, it felt like less of a story, and more so just a bunch of random scenes going back and forth. They HAD a storyline, but it was all so rushed and edited so poorly.
@@nine_tails137 like one of the biggest plotholes to me was, in the first 15 minutes of Dominion, Clare is out on a mission, Owen is out wrangling Hadrosaurs and they established that these two characters were at least hundreds of miles apart. So how was Maisie being protected with these two doing tasks that nowhere even close to their cabin?
@@isaactheworshipwarrior6687 I get that. Fallen Kingdom felt like a cut and past copy of the first Jurassic World movie, but I won't deny that the story is overall better than Dominion. Plus the locust subplot was stupid and unnecessary. We come to these movies for dinosaurs not bugs! Also, I hated Mazie in Dominion since she went from dooming the entire world in Fallen Kingdom, to a spoiled brat in Dominion.
@@isaactheworshipwarrior6687 I definitely feel you there! And I usually don't over analyze minor bits in these movies.
I'm not gonna lie, I liked the Therizinosaurus. It had a great design, a fascinating concept on being a blind dinosaur, yet still surviving, and the claws would make it a pretty damn good hunter, if it weren't an herbivore
Those sickle-like claws are the biggest selling point for me!
It's one of those herbivores you don't screw with!
It's certainly the most interesting dinosaur they've introduced. And it's about time that they've shown the herbivores can be just as threatening
The scene that had me scratching my head was when Barry Sembène being trapped by a door in a bus with a raptor trying to eat him and he pulls a gun. I thought great idea shoot the raptor, but nope, instead he shot the door open. Who would do that? Also the cloned girl already tried to destroy the world with dinosaurs so her trying to kill everyone by not trying to stop the locust makes sense.
……I think you’re making a stretch for the locust thing… for most of the film she had little to no idea about them and then the moment she found out about them… she was totally on board with the first idea on how to stop them… enough to risk giving access of her genetic coding to a scientist who had associated numerous times with companies causing the problems. She figured if there was chance to stop the locust she was all for it.
And the dinosaur release thing…yeah kinda dumb but 10 year olds are stupid.
@@mw9688 ten year olds aren't THAT stupid. Even a five year old knows dinosaurs are dangerous and them being everywhere would be a bad thing. Even a mentally handicapped child would at least rather avoid the idea of being eaten alive, come on.
I was bothered by how they completely re-wrote her origin story - that she was a clone of James Cromwell's dying daughter he made coz he was losing her, and that Hammond fell out with him over the ethics of human cloning.
Then suddenly, it turns out she was made by her mother, so why wasn't that mentioned in Fallen Kingdom, and why wasn't Hammond angry with her instead of James Cromwell? And when they brought her to Wu's lab, why was Dodson angry about it when she was key to fixing it all?
Honestly, even making locusts that eat everyone else's crops had me scratching my head going 'why'?
This series has gotten so bad i don't even know what to call the franchise anymore.
Here's what to call it....... WELCOME TO JURASSIC SHIT!
Jurassic fart. You're supposed to say jurassic fart.
Jurassic Prank
One big pile of shit
Another great episode from "The Motherfucking T-Rex".
When I first heard of this movie and saw the original cast was returning I made the mistake of ignoring my better judgement and I got my hopes up. Then I watched it the day after its release. About 2/3 into the movie, when I should have been invested I went to the lobby and got some more drink and popcorn, which I don't normally do. I was so invested in this movie that I stopped at an arcade cabinet on the way back inside and played Silent Scope. Then I went back in to finish the movie and I didn't even bother to ask my friend what I had missed because I just didn't care. This movie should have been amazing instead of "Meh".
Am I the only one that thinks there should have been a lot more people getting eaten?
"Dinosaur Petting Zoo with Rocket Ice Cream" lmfao. My favorite gags in this episode are numerous but I think "We just replaced all their dialogue with shit" is a fair description of this movies writing. 🤣Only 37 dinosaur related deaths reported in a year? More people die from feather duster related dismemberment.
I was disappointed that there was no Trex song in this one then I realized something, this movie doesn't deserve it.
It sucked though that Doug didn't even use the motherfucking t-rex in this review. To me, that shows how bad Dominion was. 😔
The only way I could see a sequel working is if the world governments got sick & tired of the Franken-Dinos killing people & have Dr. Wu create a chemical to destroy the frog genomes in the Dinos (which would cause them to start to liquify during the film). Owen & the others would be later arrested & labeled eco-terrorists for trying to overthrow the world government's plan.
You sir have summed up exactly what I felt too. I also foolishly got my hopes up thinking that this movie was gonna lean into the goofiness that is a part of the original movie.
Nope. Didn’t happen at all.
Also I kept wishing that the anime waifu red head would get eaten because she was by far the most annoying
I loved the cut to Doc saying... "IT'S A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT!!!!!!"
14:30 = Is she your daughter? -- IT'S A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT!!
🤣🤣 I genuinely laughed out loud for almost a whole minute. 🤣🤣
Honestly this film franchise is starting to become that one prank your friends in College pulled on you to eat a Tuna Sandwich that was covered with Cement
I'm more interested in this prank than I was in this whole movie 🤣
The only way this franchise can be saved at this point is if Thor and the Guardians arrive and say “Yo Starlord! Where the F*ck have you been?!?”
And actor who played Odin you look like Alan Grant 😂
🤣🤣🤣 That idea is genius
I hope you know that '' Edward scissor hands" is actually a really dinosaur called therozinosaurs
Don't count on it. He thought the Dimorphodon in the first Jurassic World was some T-Rex and pterosaur hybrid.
It's actually _incredible_ how hard they dropped the ball on this movie. Advertising a movie with dinos in the real world, but then going and focusing on stupid stuff like Maisie and the locusts astounds me. It's like advertising a big three-course meal, but getting a McDouble off the Dollar Menu instead. What's even better is that most of that footage of the dinos in the real world, like the Stegosaurus on the road? That was from Battle at Big Rock, a ten minute TH-cam video with much more dinos than the entirety of this movie. It was so lazy that it literally just copied and pasted like a student slamming through an essay right before the due date.
I'm so pissed that I actually bought an IMAX ticket for this thinking it would be good
I agree 100% Mazie became a spoiled brat, and the locust sub plot was stupid!
But I was still happy with the dinosaur scenes we did get. I just wish it was better.
Admittedly the highlight of the movie for me was the introduction of the Therizinosaurus. One of the few plant eaters that can match the terror factor a lot of carnivores have and it looked fantastic. It felt like an authentic Jurassic Park scene with a dangerous dinosaur (Though I'm not sure if Theriz is classed as one.). All I can say is don't mess with the murder turkey!
Man Hollywood for some reason is on this weird phase where there like hey you know that film you really like as a kid, cool here's them 30 years later
Indeed. Pandering to nostalgia seems to be the thing as of late.
I watched this in college and every time someone stuck their hand out to stop a dinosaur, everyone cheered and raised their hands to the screen
watch, universal will find a way to implement this into Jurrasic World at their theme parks- Imagine raising your hand and certain places in the land and making crazy stuff happen- kind of like the Harry Potter World, but without spending 40 bucks for an interactive wand :)
@Eclipse horse No they just make an interactive glove for even more money
This feels like the Disney life action remakes.
People just turn their brains off and watch comfort food. And enough people do it to make the studio money.
The animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, available on Netflix, was awesome, especially the 5th and last season.
The 4th and 5th felt too cut off than others and boring but 5th was better than 4th...
I honestly like Camp Cretaceous, even though it felt like a mix between kid friendly and serious.
There were some unnecessary bits like the robots, as well as stalling out and/or hiding character deaths.
Seriously! every time a character dies, it's done off-screen compared to the movies, so it's less satisfying.
I’m just glad we got to see more prehistoric non-dinosaur creatures in this franchise
If only Barry B. Benson hadn't sniff that tire that one time maybe this film series would of ended by now
Yes cause when i think of a Dinosaur film the first thing i think of is human beings talking.
I was more entertained by this movie over Fallen Kingdom. It had a better score, use of more practical dinos even if they were minimal and much better action set pieces
I liked the Jurassic World 1 better
You said Score twice
@@erainmartinez8175 oh for sure. I'll take the first jurassic world over these two. But at least this was an enjoyable film compared to kingdom
I enjoyed Jurassic Park 3 more than those two
I like Jurassic World but Fallen Kingdom bored me. This was alright, I’m glad I went to see it
Honestly, one of my biggest disappointments with this movie is that Blue, the coolest velociraptor ever, got a total of about three minutes of screen time. Seriously! Three minutes! I was so excited to see Blue and Owen kicking butt together, but boy was I let down! Just think of how cool it could have been to see Owen helping the other men herd the parasaurolophus with his theme playing and everything, and then Blue runs up along side his horse and then runs ahead closer to the herd, helping steer them in the right direction like a dog. I would have loved to see that!
Blue is nowhere near the coolest
Blue is capable of expressing human emotions, even compassion for someone who is hurt. Not just emotionally, like we are shown with Owen when she was a baby, but physically too. In the Jurassic World book, Off the Grid, she expresses genuine concern for Maisie when Maisie falls. Blue even saved Maisie and Owen from the Indoraptor in Fallen Kingdom. In fact, Blue helped totally destroy two super dangerous hybrids. She is fast, smart, and more compassionate and courageous than other raptors....how is she NOT the coolest?
I definitely see your point there and I agree.
However, Blue did sort of get the spotlight in Fallen Kingdom with the Indoraptor.
So having her out of the movie in exchange for the T-Rex makes sense honestly.
Would I have wanted Blue to help Owen through most of the movie? Hell yes!
21:02
Asset name: Therizinosaurus
Name meaning: Scythe lizard
Temprament: territorial
Diet: herbivore
Original location: Mongolia
Plus this thing is blind, so be uses echolocation like bats to see things
21:07
One thing I’ll give this movie credit for, JP always had a habit of making herbivore’s friendly. When in reality most modern herbivores are more dangerous and aggressive than some carnivores.
Also the Therizinosaurus is half blind.
The Lost World Stegosauruses want to know your location
yup..pretty much, in the PS2 game JPOG- it says that the triceratops is known as the herbivour to fight back. Back then yes..today, even the smallest of herbivours would ram ya down.
@@henrydouberly3950 pretty much all the herbivores in lost world were shown to be dangerous when threatened
The parasaurolophus,pachy
Heck the trike even took down the entire camp!
@@henrydouberly3950 they were defending their child. it's justifiable. the therizinosaurus was just agressive for no reason.
which is rare on herbivores... in the jp movies.
To quote The Simpsons Halloween of Horror: Burns: Thanks God you're herbivores. Homer/Stag: Yes and, today, you're name is Herb."
A Godzilla movie where the focus was mold...that is legitimately something the vintage Japanese Godzilla movies would do.
_subtly remembers the showa era and Gvs Biollante_
Isn't that almost literally the plot of Godzilla vs. Hedorah?
These aren't even dinosaurs anymore at this point they are just vaguely dinosaur-esque movie monsters now.
I had no idea that the Villian was Dodson from the 1st movie. This review revealed it to me, I had no idea while watching
Me neither! Probably because it was a different actor playing him?
(This isn't me being a smartass BTW, I seriously didn't know that was Dodson upon watching the movie)
Good Lord, I love Rob's impression of Jeff Goldblum 🤣
I liked that scene where the T-Rex said “It’s Rexin’ Time”
... and then he rexed all over the place.
Yes he is 11:38
I like the dancing scene 😂😂
I'm going to be seeing a variation of this comment from now until the day I die, aren't I?
@@Commanderziff yep... Such a shame
You could have RoboCop fight a T-Rex and i still wouldn't care about this film franchise
Honestly Nicholas Cage could fight a dinosaur and i still wouldn't care about this film franchise
That’s just tragic to think about.
Also Nicolas Cage - SCRAPING AT THE DOOR!
I know some may find Maisie a bit annoying because of her rebel attitude during the first part of the movie but there was a reason why. Maisie has been raised in isolation by Owen and Claire after Fallen Kingdom and has not interacted with anyone else but them. Now as a teenager, she's grown increasingly frustrated staying in one place her whole life and wanted to experience the outside world, despite Owen and Claire telling her she can't cause lots of people would want to study her. Also, she's going through an identity crisis trying to figure out who she really is and both Owen and Claire have little evidence. This is until she and Beta were brought to Biosyn and Dr Henry Wu showed her video of her mom Charlotte Lockwood, proving to Maisie that she does have a mom and how she altered her DNA to eliminate the presence of a fatal genetic disease which, though unfortunately ending up killing Charlotte, was successfully removed from her daughter, saving Maisie's life before she was even born.
@@Parzival_Z98 why would she care more about being a teenager and experiencing the outside world when there are much bigger things she should be concerned about? You would think she would be more concerned about how much she basically fucked the world up by unleashing all of those dinosaurs. She would feel massive guilt from that. It also wasn't a problem that was built up with her in the last movie. I know she is older but building off of things is filmmaking in sequels 101. You can't just grab a problem out of nowhere. Also, her having an identity crisis doesn't add to this either since she wouldn't care because it doesn't matter. What her mom was doesn't make her what she is. Owen and Claire would've taught her that.
21:05 That's Therizinosaurus. It's believed it would've been a highly territorial herbivore. Like Dinosaur's answer to a moose. It's "nice" for a second and then goes bull fucking crazy and shits your car in half.
I honestly thought that the main villian was going to need Marie's DNA because he had the same disease her mother did. I thought him asking if that guy had his bars was because he ate those things to keep himself alive. I don't know why I thought this but man do I wish that was what actually happened instead of what we got with him being a generic vilian
see that would at least MAKE SENSE and not just "oh yeah, locusts"
And it wouldnt paint him as a greedy corporate suit. It make an interesting dilema with the characters and audience
@@partyelixir1265 yeah it would, he's a man fighting to live but he also has done bad stuff so does he deserve to live
@@bloodywolf8597 like hes fighting to live. But the way hes doing it (kidnapping and some atempted murder) is evil and bad. And then its up to the characters to choose which way it goes. But then even after the movie ends people will still be talki g about what wouldve be the "best" choice, whether the what the characters did was best choice or if there was another option
@@partyelixir1265 I wish this would of been the movie
Honestly i would not be surprised if the Devil keeps asking for these films, Fast and Furious and Mission Impossible
Think i'd rather watch Jeff Goldblum chop wood in front of me while chewing Beef Jerky than watch this film
23:10 I would be flipping my shit... if I gave a shit about the original cast.
The original cast were the good ones not the new ones
Watched the regular version, and was at the end of the movie, I sat there saying man they must have edited a lot, which would explain why Jeff G. Standing with a gun, just standing there to get it taken away from him. And the the cast posing multiple times 🤦♂️
The movie was “eh” Going to watch the extended version, but man I just wish they had Dino’s with less humans, I could watch blue and lil blue then family and adopted/“ abduction”child. be more interesting then this movie.
See what made the first film so good was it was groundbreaking CGI and you saw things you never thought you could see on the big screen like Dinosaurs and honestly i just don't feel that about any of these films they just lost the shine of what made the first film so groundbreaking when it came out
Also a great script based on a good book and a great director in his prime and very good actors. Kind of lightning in a bottle.
@@hectoraccented5312 Which as we all know is super easy to replicate.
I just realized, Jurassic Park / World films now suffers from the same problems as the Transformers and Gozilla films suffered of "focusing too much on the humans"
To me the Jurassic World trilogy suffers from the same thing the Star Wars sequel trilogy does. They start well with Jurassic World and Force Awakens then in the second films they switched directors and they take a nosedive then the third films the directors of the first films come back Colin Trevorrow and J.J. Abrams and aren't able to stick the landing.
@@samsaunders9487 At least Colin wrote all 3 JW films, unlike what JJ and Rian did with the Star Wars sequels
@@RSG_TheMonster True I didn't know Trevorrow still wrote Fallen Kingdom.
@@samsaunders9487 I would say Dominion did what the sequel trilogy SHOULD'VE done, in terms of actually bringing both generations of characters together at the end. I always thought one of TPM's biggest mistakes (especially knowing Harrison was done before filming even started) was not having a money shot of Luke, Han and Leia together one last time. Dominion was smart to put Grant, Malcolm and Sattler together more than one time in the film, it respected both the old and new eras of the series
@@nah....6151 Do you mean the first prequel The Phanton Menace by TPM? Han, Luke, and Leia weren't in that unless you meant The Rise of Skywalker?
Just watch Primal! Now that’s a good series with some dinosaurs! Loving season 2
Or Prehistoric Planet.
Oh, Nostalgia Critic. You are a national treasure!
If you think this movie was bad because it's supposed to be a dinosaur movie with barely any dinosaurs, go watch Godzilla (2014) and then you will know what a true supposed-to-be-based-on-something-without-that-something-at-all-movie really looks like.
Jurassic World Writers: Which villain are we gonna use for the end of our second trilogy?
“DODGSON! WE’VE GOT DODGSON OVER HERE!”
“See, NOBODY CARES!” - The Audience
I just wish all these films would just realize what the first film so good.
The only problem with demanding that the whole movie be like the underground Dino fight rings. Would be that it exhausting with no moments to allow the film to breathe and let the characters be the way they’re.
Honestly the film could have been about like a small city or town dealing with the dinosaurs
I just wanted to see how like farmers and ranchers deal with several ton dinosaurs eating their crops and livestock
They really didn’t need locusts
7:32 Can confirm Justice Smith is in more than one good real movie
I liked the mystery to find Blues kid. In fact, you could say, that “They just figured out Blues Clues, because they’re very smart”.
One thing for sure, at least we get to see Dr Grant, Dr Malcolm and Dr Sattler together again on screen, that's something that the Star Wars sequel trilogy utterly failed to do so with Luke, Han and Leia.
Dont forget lando
@@cypher160manny2 Oh yeah, and him too. He was painfully underused in TROS.
To be fair Carrie died before Last Jedi even finished filming.
@@zigslotheon yes but they killed Han in TFA so in terms of reuniting the 3 of them, the boat had sailed by the time Carrie died.
I was kinda hoping for the two kids from the first movie to turn up at the end all grown up so we get to have a full reunion.
I’d love to see a Jurassic park movie about the park where nothing goes wrong. It’s just zookeepers taking care of dinosaurs, I think that’d be a good movie
Jurassic World Dominion is what I call a guilty pleasure movie: I know it's not the best, but I can't help but love it.
Basically a modernised JP3
That's pretty much Michael Bay's career.
I'm with you in that opinion :D
Bay's movies have fun and sometimes technically great setpieces
these have none.
@@daredevil6145 that's just incorrect
You know it’s bad when you’re excited for the credits
Hollywood has an amazingly consistent track record with having no damn idea what audiences want to see.
Only ONE movie gave me exactly what I wanted recently. Godzilla vs Kong.
I've been looking forward to this review ever since Doug started off his first review with 'I'm so goddamned sick of these movies.'
Doug, may I suggest you watch Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. It’s by far the best part of the Jurassic franchise besides the original Jurassic Park (and this is coming from someone who liked the 1st Jurassic World film). It’s funny, intriguing, has likable characters and definitely shows a lot of dinosaurs in numerous ways. The show is definitely not perfect, but it’s still pretty damn good (though I still have yet to finish the show). It’s by Dreamworks Animation Television and it streams on Netflix, in case you’re interested.
That show is pretty decent
Yep! One of the best things to come out of the JW franchise!
It's worth adding that you need to give it some time to grow. At the start the kids are insufferable idiots, but they develop over time and that's where it starts to get really good.
I would agree up until the last 2 seasons
I agree it was better than this movie. Hell, "Battle at Big RocK" was better than this.
Man this film needs a lot more Code Red
When I tell you that me and my bestie were DYING of laughter in the theater throughout this whole movie.
I wish she and I had been the only ones present because we would’ve been roasting it FAR more.
If you had a film just about dinosaurs it'd get pretty dull after half an hour.
This one made a choice to go all out with a mad storyline, and it was the most enjoyable hot mess I've seen for a while. I knew as I watched that critics would be shitting their pants over it, but I had a ball with the ludicrousness. FAR from perfect, but was still a fun time.
As an avid fan of Jurassic Park (and dinosaurs as a whole) since I was *three years old*, This....was the first one I did not go see in theatres, and this video is the first time i'm seeing scenes that aren't from the trailer.
That should say something.
it says you didn't wanna watch the movie... that is all.
I watched it once it arrived on cable and i almost fell asleep
This was it's one last chance, it too thirty minutes in for me to decide it was nothing but shit
Man this remake of Cats & Dogs is a lot different than i thought it was going to be
I loved the variety of dinosaurs in this, like the giganotosaurus, therizinosaurus, and dimetrodon
The even had a doyouthinkhesaurus.
They even had a doyouthinkhesaurus.
Dimetrodon isn't a dinosaur
I’m glad they finally put a chlortrimeton in a JP movie. It was a hypoallergenic dinosaur with the most open sinuses.
@@c.d.rstudios4691 yeah I know, but I was still excited it showed up
The final Nostalgia Critic Jurassic Park review😭😭 it's finally here!
my favorite part of this movie is that the raptors are inches away from catching the main character on foot and then inches away from catching them on a motorcycle and then inches away from catching them in a car.
