Jurassic World Dominion: 22 WTF Moments
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.
