Jurassic World Dominion is a 2022 science fiction action film directed by Colin Trevorrow and produced by Universal Pictures. It serves as the third installment in the Jurassic World series and the sixth overall in the Jurassic Park franchise. The film features a cast that includes Chris Pratt as Owen Grady, Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing, Laura Dern as Dr. Ellie Sattler, Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant, and Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm.
Set four years after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the film explores a world where dinosaurs now coexist with humans following the destruction of Isla Nublar. This new reality presents significant challenges, including ecological disasters and attacks on human populations by dinosaurs. Amid global efforts to manage this coexistence, Biosyn Genetics establishes a dinosaur preserve in Italy's Dolomite Mountains, ostensibly for research but with ulterior motives.
The plot follows Owen and Claire, who are living in a remote cabin with Maisie Lockwood, the genetically engineered granddaughter of Benjamin Lockwood. When Blue, Owen's Velociraptor, arrives with her asexually reproduced hatchling named Beta, they soon find themselves embroiled in a rescue mission after mercenaries kidnap Maisie and Beta. Meanwhile, Dr. Ellie Sattler discovers that swarms of genetically engineered locusts are devastating crops across the United States, raising suspicions about Biosyn's involvement in creating these pests to monopolize the food supply.
As the story unfolds, Owen and Claire infiltrate a black market in Malta to locate Maisie and Beta. They encounter various dinosaurs and face numerous challenges, including a dramatic chase involving trained dinosaurs unleashed by antagonists. The film culminates in a confrontation at the Biosyn facility where they uncover further sinister plans involving genetic manipulation.
The climax features intense action sequences with dinosaurs battling each other and the protagonists working together to escape from perilous situations. Ultimately, they manage to thwart Biosyn's plans and ensure that Maisie and Beta are safe. The film concludes with a sense of hope for coexistence between humans and dinosaurs as the United Nations designates Biosyn Valley as an international dinosaur sanctuary.
Jurassic World Dominion received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its visual effects and nostalgic elements but criticized its convoluted plot and character development. The film grossed over $1 billion worldwide, solidifying its status as a major entry in the franchise while exploring themes of survival, ethics in genetic engineering, and the consequences of human actions on nature.
