![]() ![]() I don't think it's poor CGI but something about it doesn't feel right. As for the dinosaur effects, at times the animatronic dinosaurs look like toys. It's even sadder when you realize it's worse than what it copied in every way. I won't say which one, but I'm baffled they went this route. And one thing I couldn't believe, the climax action sequence is straight-up copied from one of the previous movies. It's only been a few hours and I can remember maybe a couple cool moments. All of the action scenes are forgettable. I had 8 hours of sleep last night and drank a Red Bull, yet I was struggling to stay awake. So why such a harsh score? Because this movie, which is the definition of a popcorn flick here to entertain us, is unbelievably boring. But that wasn't the case for the majority of the movie. Some parts were so bad they made me cringe or roll my eyes. ![]() In Dominion, you don't feel any kind of magic. They feel earned and elevate everything after. I compare it to Stranger Things, when the stories converge and the crew is finally together, those moments are so impactful and exciting. And the moment when the different characters come together falls completely flat. Or maybe it's because every single one is uninteresting. On top of that, they did a poor job of balancing so many storylines with different characters. You could replace dinosaurs with any scary creatures and it would make little difference to the plot. Imagine watching Taken but Liam Neeson has to watch out for dinosaurs. The majority of the storylines are tangentially related at best, completely unrelated at worst. But everything leading up to that, the story, dialogue and themes, were all focused on dinosaurs. The original Jurassic Park barely had any for the first hour. And I don't just mean they are barely onscreen. I'm baffled by how little focus is on dinosaurs. If I were to list out all the things this movie focuses on, dinosaurs would be fifth or sixth, behind multiple storylines that range from bland to useless. ![]()
