Jurassic World Dominion [Blu-ray] [2022] [Region Free]

Excellent dvd missed this one first time around

Great fun ride of a movie and even though my blu ray player is only 5.1 speakers and the disc is 7.1 there is still a difference in being louder - buy now as you won’t be disappointed ! Raaar ! umm no it’s more like RAAAAAAARRRR !! and has plenty of bite and I love movies with bite !

Saturday night's movie. A bit predictable but also like 2 movies in 1. You've got Sam Neil and the rest of the original movies gang doing a whole thing about ecology and how man's constant tinkering with animals and plants is killing the plants and only making money for big companies. Then you've got Chris Pratt and his team getting all deep and emotional about what makes you human, individual and a family. Jeff Goldblum is just being . We watched the theatrical movie not the extended one. It won't have you hang on the edge of your seat but is ideal for a family movie and pizza night.

Good quality

I've always been a huge fan of these films all way back to the original. Of the Jurassic world trilogy, dominion Is my favourite. It's not just a standard run of the mill action film, which I'm not saying is a bad thing. This film does have quite a lot of tense , well shot action scenes. But it's interspliced with beautiful moment that make you think about conservation and environmentalism. Asking the question, what would actually happen if dinosaurs were bought back to life?The CGI I'd very realistic and the dinosaurs look beautiful, especially on Blu-ray. There are plenty of shots of sweeping Vista's. All in all its a great movie. With an important message about the planet earth. 5/5

Loved it

DVD in perfect condition.

However, in no way does that mean Jurassic world Dominion is a good film!I was but a teenager when the original Jurassic Park hit the cinemas, it was not a perfect movie by any stretch but it took full advantage of the latest advances in CGI and animatronics technology and with it, brought dinosaurs, something that had previously been reserved for black and white 1940’s stop-motion films that were more amusing than scary, into a terrifying and full colour, 20th century reality! Four years later a watchable but vastly inferior sequel followed the original and four years’ after that, the series hit rock bottom with the horrendous Jurassic Park 3.Taken on its own merits Jurassic World dominion is actually an intelligent film, with several deeper underlying themes’. So what underlying themes are we talking about here ? Well there is the merging of human consciousness with machines, the dangers and outright immorality of bio engineering, the death of the free market and the inevitable proliferation of the underground market as a direct result, the nefarious concept that anything that makes money should be traded as a commodity and the old ‘do the ends justify the means’ question.The Biosyn engineers and Lewis Dodson in particular represent a kind of evil antichrist that seeks to remove mankind from the equation and remake the world in its own blasphemous image and on that subject there’s a strong and very worrying anti-human undercurrent within the movie, the giant mutant locusts are a metaphor for the global human population, swarming and endlessly breading and eating away at the earths sustenance, the ‘altered DNA’ used in Maisy’s genome and also referred to as a “pathogen” is the payload that will repair the damaged earth by eliminating the disease that’s killing the earth, the humans! The ‘mother of Maisy’ is a kind of female deity that brings life forth from itself, another ancient pagan belief. Unfortunately, many of these themes are left half baked and never truly developed or addressed and so they remain nothing more than background themes.The reuniting of many of the characters from the first film is a nice touch although they do seem to be somewhat watered down caricatures of their 1993 counterparts and this is particularly true of Ian Malcom, who is reduced to the role of court jester rather than the smart, cool wise guy from the first film. The other characters, most of whom joined the franchise in the fourth film are a mixed bag, Owen Grady is somewhat likable as the lumberjack just seeking the quiet life but with the exception of Ramsey Cole the rest are straight out of the woke cookie cutter and just very irritating.When stood next to and compared directly with the 1993 original, Jurassic world dominion is an atrocious film but if you read behind the lines and view the film on its own terms it’s a watchable commentary, not a critique but a commentary on trans human engineering and the coming post-industrial world, whether you agree with trans human engineering is a separate discussion, I personally do not but the point is dinosaurs were merely a means to have this deeper dialogue.Unfortunately, a lot of those topics will go way over the heads of the average cinema goer and if you took away the Jurassic park brand name, this is a film that very few people would ever see. In an ideal world there would never have been a sequel to the original but back in the real world the Jurassic park franchise should have been concluded with the third film, as poor as it was. As hard as this film tries to invoke nostalgia, and it tries very hard with many references to the first film, it’s essentially a copy of a copy of a copy and viewed purely by the sum of its parts and as a film viewing experience, it’s a bland and disappointing eulogy for this once great franchise. Jurassic Park needs to be left alone now before it starts going down the “fast and the furious” route of becoming embarrassingly bad and some may argue that it has already crossed that line.
