“Jurassic World: Dominion” It might hit #1 at the domestic box office this weekendbut lackluster reviews and word of mouth can disrupt the potential run.
Inevitably, Jurassic World: Dominion, wrote Robbie Cullen, “will make a fortune all over the world, because these films have always done so.” In his review of the film for the Daily Telegraph. “But in terms of credibility, it’s an extinction-level event.”
The third and final film in the new “Jurassic Park” movie trilogy is the worst-reviewed of all six films in the franchise, currently with a 36% rating on Rotten Tomatoes Complex Review From 175 reviews.
while the worldwide The film is expected to generate about $125 million in ticket sales in the United States and Canada this weekend, and poor audience reception could hamper its total sales in the coming weeks. Not to mention that the film faces stiff competition from other films such as Disney and Marvel’s “Thor: Love and Thunder” in the coming weeks.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow, “Dominion” is set four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, the island that sheltered prehistoric cloned monsters. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard reprise their roles as Owen Grady and Claire Dering, joined by “Jurassic Park” alumni Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, who return as Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm, respectively.
Joshua Rothkopf writes, “Even with the original cast on board, there is surprisingly little chemistry or humor, and the film pauses frequently to emphasize family values.” In his Entertainment Weekly review.
There is a broad consensus among critics that Dominion desperately wants to capture the nostalgia of Jurassic Park, but the stunning visual effects fail to make up for its lapses in storytelling and character development.

“‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ has been called the ‘end of the Jurassic’ and that would undoubtedly be the case,” Lussier wrote in his review of Gizmodo. “Mostly because it proves beyond reasonable doubt that this once beloved privilege must be extinct.”
Lussier said the film’s biggest sin was that it was “generally unfun and boring”.
Like other critics, Lussier praised the film’s visual effects, stating that “every second a dinosaur appeared on screen, I thought it was a dinosaur.” But he also said that’s not enough to save the movie. He noted that as the final chapter of the sequel trilogy, the film is “painfully familiar” as it appears to follow the same path it did in previous parts without upgrading the material.
He wrote: “The first ‘Jurassic Park’ movie succeeded because it was simple, relatable, and clever.” “I wanted you to be in that place, with those characters, and it all made sense.”
“Now, after five consecutive sequels, not a single movie has come close to capturing that magic,” he added. “They are all either very complex or very similar.” Jurassic World: Dominion “is two of those things, in addition to being a narrative sink, which makes it undoubtedly the worst Jurassic movie to date.”
