Jurassic World Dominion

Dinosaurs have reclaimed the earth, finding new homes all over the world – much to the chagrin of the people who are struggling with the recreated species. Owen Grady ( Chris Pratt ) and Claire Dearing ( Bryce Dallas Howard ) don’t notice much of this, however, as they live a secluded life in nature with their adopted daughter Maisie Lockwood ( Isabella Sermon ). But not withdrawn enough: one day the teenager is kidnapped by unknown men just like a dinosaur cub. At the same time, Dr. Ellie Sattler ( Laura Dern ) and Dr. Alan Grant ( Sam Neill) have completely different concerns, since swarms of huge killer locusts are up to mischief. Her search for answers leads her to a powerful tech company, where she meets her old friend Dr. Ian Malcolm ( Jeff Goldblum ) meet again…

The expectations of a reboot of Steven Spielberg’s influential blockbuster Jurassic Park were of course high – and were once again greatly exceeded. Jurassic World, which told a variation on the well-known story about cloned dinosaurs, grossed more than 1.6 billion US dollars. Three years later, Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom was followed by a sequel that was not necessarily well received by critics. The box office results were still so gigantic that a third part would only be a matter of time. It shifted a bit in between, the corona pandemic hit even the prehistoric lizards hard. But now ties Jurassic World: A New Era and sets to work reclaiming the number one spot at the box office.

For this to work, director and co-writer Colin Trevorrow pull out one of the most powerful weapons Hollywood currently has: nostalgia. Whether Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, Ghostbusters: Legacy, or the various Marvel adventures of recent times, there are regular, sometimes excessively old figures revived. The goal: fans should reminisce and have a good time. At Jurassic World: A New Age This means that not only are the characters from the reboots returning, but also some of the first trilogies from the 1990s. It was calculated that those who were terrified of the first generation of dinosaurs in the cinemas 30 years ago would come together again for the reunion and meet an audience there who would love the new parts.
