Every Jurassic Park Movie Ranked Worst To Best

6. Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

The most recent - and, at least for now, last - movie in the franchise, Jurassic World: Dominion represents everything that's wrong not just with the series it's finished, but also modern blockbuster filmmaking as a whole.

Taking place in a terrifying world now inhabited by both humans and dinosaurs, it follows a new evil conglomerate who want to control the world's food supply with mutant locusts. Really. Meanwhile, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard race to save their kidnapped daughter, and the original cast drop by to unearth the conspiracy.

It's a muddled, overlong affair, and has no interest in re-capturing the magic of the franchise's best instalments. The dinosaurs barely play a part in the action that unfolds, and the actors - save a scene-stealing Jeff Goldblum - are given nothing to do as the story jumps jarringly from one location to the next.

Visually dull (save for a handful of all-too-brief sequences in the second half), with a preposterous story that takes itself far too seriously until its anti-climatic finale, Dominion does nothing to justify its existence or sell its derivative drama. More than any other Jurassic film, it just feels like a soulless, cynical cash-grab.
