Jurassic Park Dominion
Jurassic Park movies are like a slice of cherry pie, you had
it before but it still tastes good. This is the AARP version of the franchise.
All the veteran actors were in the cast: Sam Neil, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, BD
Wong, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. I must admit the film was better
than what I expected. Instead of dinosaurs
just stomping around there is an interesting story line. There were still some ludicrous
pseudo-scientific theories but they worked into the plot. One aspect of the
movie was a head scratcher. They had a dinosaur sanctuary in the Italian Dolomites.
What I remember from Bio101 dinosaurs were cold blooded so the ice capped mountains
would not be a natural habitat .
As with the other Jurassic Park movies there was a lot of
running around and near death escapes. Big dinosaurs ate by bigger dinosaurs.
They even gave a nod to evolution featuring a feathered dinosaur (Pyroraptor). There were new characters. Mamoudou Athie as
Ramsey Cole who helps the good guys escape and DeWanda Wise a “Bond” like woman
who is beautiful, smart and tough. She is a cargo pilot with fluid allegiances.
There is also an evil Steve Jobs type character who runs Biosyn which launches
a nefarious bio scheme.
Rotten Tomato gave the film a 30 rating. Sometimes movie critics
cannot get out of their own way. This is not a drama; this is not an Academy
nominated film. This is just a fun movie, even with its silliness. The
production budget is $185m, the worldwide box office is $625m. As they say
money talks and….But the real cool thing about this movie part of it was filmed in Valletta the capital of
Malta.
