This movie needed to be edited to 1:45. At 2:30 it was nearly unbearable.

I'ts been a long time since I've clapped at the end of a movie. Although the only reason I clapped was because I was finally free.

There is click bait and there is trailer bait. So there is no Dino vs human and battle for dominion. Nope. Just more of the same. There is just another lab doing evil things where conflict is happening again on a lock down space (a island/park again). In between you have the old cast and new cast and new/new cast (including an Han Solo female replica). Then we get people running in one direction to save a person that is actually going in the opposite direction, we get James Bond spy scenes, Dino pursuits in Malta (the trailer bait) btw the Dino are commanded by a laser pointer!!, several scenes of dark hallways with Dino appearing, evil corporate scientist doing it for the money, scientists that has made a mistake and regrets it, and the obvious big Dino clash at the end.

I've never seen a film so full of action that's this boring. It's just noise. Abysmal.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Jurassic World Dominion’: 1. It was pure nostalgic joy to see the original cast together after all these years. Their chemistry is still magic, and they were _clearly_ the highlight of this film. I even liked the direction they went in with [spoiler]Grant and Ellie[/spoiler]. I was hoping for _that_ outcome since the beginning. We _JP_ fans are lucky to see our OG trio finally reunite. 2. Despite a few solid action scenes and some brief moments of greatness, this ultimately did not FEEL like a _Jurassic Park_ film, something the earlier sequels still managed to somewhat achieve. And that’s what bothers me the most. The first half felt very much like a _Mission: Impossible_ flick. I could have done with less espionage and over-the-top characters like Santos. 3. That plot didn’t deserve Ellie, Alan, and Ian. For a film that was meant to bring together two generations and serve as an epic Jurassic finale, it was sadly a fail. So many missed opportunities. There was no sense of true closure. No impactful full-circle moments. I tried explaining the storyline to my sister and it proved difficult. I may have lost her at kidnapped clones. All a bit forgettable. It wasn’t _terrible_, but it missed the mark for such a beloved franchise. Bonus Thought: They should have stuck with the classic dinos. These hybrids left zero impact. And I would have been pissed off if [spoiler]T-Rex died in the end[/spoiler]. Extra Bonus Thought: Was it just me or was Dodgson terribly-acted with the worst dialogue? There were so many moments from him that fell so flat. Extra Extra Bonus Thought: One blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment I appreciated was when the T-Rex walked behind a circular structure and provided a brief nod to the iconic _JP_ logo.
