The Masked Cinema 2022 - Jurassic World Dominion

Blockbuster season is on! First Top Gun: Maverick, now Jurassic World Dominion. But let's get one thing clear, this is NOT a good film.

It is the sequel to 2018's, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, also the sixth instalment in the Jurassic Park franchise. Also apparently the final film in the Jurassic World trilogy, until they need some more cash, maybe?

Starring new and old Jurassic Park faces, Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, BD Wong, Omar Sy, Isabella Sermon, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, Campbell Scott, Scott Haze, and Dichen Lachman. Dern, Goldblum.

NZ legend Sam Neill along with Dern and Goldblum, appearing together for the first time since the 1993 film. 

The film is set four years after the events of Fallen Kingdom, with dinosaurs now living alongside humans around the world.

Jurassic World Dominion was released ahead of the long weekend, taking on Top Gun: Maverick at the Australian cinema. At publication the film has grossed $389 million worldwide, whilst receiving generally negative reviews from critics, who felt that the franchise had run its course. My verdict? After the trailer.


Avoid it, 1.5 stars. Only for the gold old days of Jurassic World/Jurassic Park. This was just kinda sad, lame. AVOID! Or use your Discover Vouchers before Daddy Dom takes them away.
