Jurassic World Dominion: 22 WTF Moments
Breaking down the most unhinged Jurassic Park movie yet.
Jurassic World: Dominion is finally out now in cinemas worldwide, and uh, it's certainly a movie alright.
Though Dominion has received largely negative reviews so far, it is at least a film that doesn't leave audiences wanting for WTF moments, for better or worse.
Dominion is somehow the most baffling Jurassic Park movie to date - and that's really saying something - crammed as it is with head-scratching plot twists, unbelievable character decisions, ridiculous retcons, and a whole lot else in-between.
For many Dominion will be fun, trashy comfort food and for others it'll simply be too damn dumb to stomach, but which ever side you fall down on, it's definitely a movie full of deeply unhinged moments you'll be remembering for a long time.
If you thought that Alan's nightmare of a talking raptor in Jurassic Park III was peak weirdness, or it couldn't get any more deranged than the clone child subplot from Fallen Kingdom, brace yourself.
This isn't only the most WTF Jurassic Park movie: it's one the most materially bizarre blockbusters of the last few years, despite facing some stiff competition...
22. It Basically Abandons Fallen Kingdom's Ending
One of the strangest things about Dominion is how abruptly it abandons the setup implied by the end of Fallen Kingdom, where dinosaurs are running amok all over the world and primed to cause absolute chaos.
Yet Dominion's opening social media montage largely downplays this, skipping forward four years and stating on-screen that only 37 people have been killed in dinosaur attacks in the U.S. over the past year, which seems like an hilariously low number.
More to the point, the majority of the film is set in a number of confined locations that fail to capitalise upon the promise of Fallen Kingdom's ending.
Aside from the thrilling mid-film Malta sequence, there's an extremely limited view of how the release of the dinosaurs have impacted the wider world.
It's a creative decision as odd as it is disappointing, and gets things off to a bad start.
