And if you're going to do it, at least try to make it really cool. I've heard it done acceptably before, but this just doesn't have any impact to me.

It's quite common that film clips are edited vs their film counterparts, especially with the logos and crap they threw on the end, I wouldn't be surprised if it had been altered a bit. Who knows? It is a pretty bad cut, Grant and Malcolm do nearly the same action twice. 45 minutes ago, MikeH said: That first clip feels weird with the writing, directing and overly polished ADR. Is it just me or is Grant's accent not quite right? Not sure why they would bother ADR'ing a scene that was likely shot on a stage. Maybe they were plagued with planes like LOTR was.

Bayesian 1,363 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 A number of the reviews for Dominion on Metacritic suggest that the movie is a blown opportunity to actually give viewers a proper look into a world where dinosaurs and humans uneasily coexist. Instead, it's mostly a fanservice mashup of No Time to Die and the Bourne movies. To botch the chance to do some truly imaginative counterfactual worldbuilding in Dominion is truly regrettable. I hope the movie is better than these reviews are saying, but am not holding out much hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,454 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 lol ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ Review: It’s Time for This Film Franchise to Go ExtinctDirector Colin Trevorrow does it again (but somehow, worse). https://www.indiewire.com/2022/06/jurassic-world-dominion-review-1234731384/ This review, however, implies that Fallen Kingdom was better than the first JW ("one of the worst big-budget Hollywood blockbusters", according to the reviewer), when I actually think it's the other way around: Jurassic World was a perfectly serviceable while FK was horrendous.

saulocf 79 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 It is so so bad. Worse than Rise of Skywalker. It has the worst tendencies of Fallen Kingdom, but with the uninspired direction of Jurassic World. The score is good tho, and so is Jeff Goldblum. bruce marshall and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,454 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Some of the reviews I've read said that the action scenes are so poorly directed and edited, with close shots and fast cuts straight out of a Bourne movie. Geez. At least the first JW had some okay action scenes. The bare minimum a dumb dinosaur movie should be is fun to watch, but apparently Dominion is not even that.

ymenard 54 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 This is pretty much the nail in the coffin for Colin Trevorrow as a director in Hollywood, especially when you have a complete year to re-edit the movie again. Strike 3 for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like its gonna be a fun finale to a fun summer blockbuster franchise to me. It has a bunch of fun stuff, dinosaurs running through cities etc.. does it make one ounce of sense? No, but it doesn't need to because its just plain entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The usage of the classic characters does not seem forced, they have a plot on their own, and their are not just glorified cameos.

Matt C 454 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 It’s not as bad as the reviews say it is, but the subplots involving giant mutant locusts and the whole Malta sequence (basically a Bond opening with dinosaurs) show that this franchise has been running on fumes. And the whole second half is basically Trevorrow doing a “best of” compilation of sequences and homages from previous JP movies. In fact the whole big climax basically recycles JW and FK’s. It was a pleasure seeing Neil, Dern and Goldblum back in the franchise— but they didn’t get much to do. Pratt and Howard are just… there. I liked DeWanda Wise’s character a LOT, she deserved a better movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. A. Ron 1,742 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 This was a big, stupid movie and I loved a lot about it. There were tons of new dinosaurs in it and the action was mostly ok, it just lacks tension because the only people dying were background characters. Is this as good as the OT? Of course not, but the people who say it’s worse than Fallen Kingdom or The Rise of Skywalker are full of shit. Matt C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on the internet just want to find things to hate. The movie is terribly bland and has almost no tension at all. The end sequence where more than 7 people are all clumsily hiding behind a jeep from a dino just shows what was wrong with the movie. There were no stakes, the main characters never truly felt like they were in danger, and the two different storylines that came together felt incredibly forced. If they had just picked the ecology story and went with it I would have enjoyed the movie much, much more. The stuff with Pratt and Howard felt out of a Bond or Marvel movie, not a Jurassic movie. During Top Gun, I never looked at my watch once as I was completely enthralled and on the edge of my seat. During this movie, I looked at my watch less than a half hour in, and continued to do so throughout the movie. Very disappointing, and if that means I'm just looking for something to hate so be it.
