9 Sci-Fi Movies That Flopped Hard In 2022

9. Jurassic World: Dominion

Hold your horses, or whatever the prehistoic equivalent of a horse is, we're not saying that Jurassic World Dominion didn't make any money.

Because good Lord, did it make a lot of money.

The conclusion to the Jurassic World trilogy, which united the stars of the current franchise with the main heroes from the original films, has taken over £1billion worldwide since its release in May. At time of writing, it's the second highest-grossing movie of 2022.

Not too bad, but it's a shame about all of the critical feedback this film has received.

In short, professional movie reviewers hated it, and critically, it's one of the biggest flops of the year. It sits on 38% on Metacritic and 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics lambasting it for its ludicrous plot, dull characters, and poor pacing.

The most common complaint though was not aimed at the film itself, but rather at the entire Jurassic series. Reviewers almost unanimously declared that it had run its course long before this entry and were thrilled to see it finally declared extinct.

Although, seeing how much money this movie made, perhaps the franchise has simply been frozen in amber for now.
