The story of Jurassic Park III almost fills like a filler episode in a TV series. Alan Grant after being absent from the original sequel, The Lost World. Dominion is, unfortunately, a waste of an all-star cast and the groundwork laid before it. It was a sinister plot that Laura Dern’s Ellie Sattler pieced together in the space of five minutes at the start of the film just by investigating a farm afflicted by the beastly locusts and asking a few questions. Instead of taking the most sensible route of showing audiences the calamity that’d ensue in the modern world with dinosaurs flourishing as an invasive species, the writers chose to inject a cliché villain bent on greed who oversaw the genetic engineering of monstrous locusts that he uses to ravage the world’s crops with the intent on holding the world’s food supply hostage.
The problem is that the narrative hardly concerns them. Make no mistake, dinosaurs are everywhere in Dominion. Most of the films’ story arcs were heavily invested in these two pillars of the franchise. But there are two elements that ultimately make the Jurassic franchise the winning saga that it is: dinosaurs and thought-provoking science or ethical philosophy. That’s not to say that it’s not entertaining, though. Despite the filmmakers literally “going big” with this action adventure, Dominion left plenty to be desired when it came to its hollow story. Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and the Giganatosaurus couldn’t save this fizzling closer to the Jurassic World trilogy.
