10 Movie Moments Everyone Was Waiting For (That Never Happened)

In perhaps the most notable case of "you had one job" in recent movie history, dinosaur die-hards the world over would've likely given just about any dodgy development that unfolded over the course of Jurassic World Dominion's 146-minute runtime a pass had it simply stuck to what it said on the tin.

Said tin, in the form of the prior film's closing sequence and the most recent entry's many trailers, told the story of dinosaurs now being unleashed on our own world, with humans and the many other species of animal on the planet now being forced to co-exist with the prehistoric beasties.

Instead, outside of a few fleeting sequences involving bizarre dino-wrangling and laser-guided raptors on the streets of Malta, most of the Jurassic action is once again lazily focused on an enclosure sealed off from the rest of civilisation.

And rather than the feature, and sometimes feathered, players being the centre of attention, a swarm of genetically-altered locusts act as the film's real substantial threat to overcome.

Then, just to really rub it in, fans are once again teased with the film they wanted all along with a closing sequence depicting the likes of a Mosasaurus deep-sea diving with some whales.
