JURASSIC WORLD Dominion Ending Explained | Full Movie Breakdown & Spoiler Review

Jurassic World Dominion is finally here and the brand new movie brings together the old and new cast so that they can take down the dinosaurs from the days of future past. Jurassic World Dominion is basically about how life, uh, finds a way and throughout this video we’re gonna be breaking down the plot, ending and also what we think of the film.

You bet Jurassic be full of bad puns and this video will have major spoilers so if you don’t want it ruined then I suggest you extinct the post.

Dominion is set four years after the events of Fallen Kingdom. The film primarily follows Owen, Claire and Maisie who now live out in the wilderness, attempting to hide Maisie away from the world. In Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom we learned that Maisie was a clone of her mother Charlotte and throughout this film, we unearth exactly why she’s so special. We discover that Maisie was an immaculate conception and that her mother carried her in her own womb which is something that was hidden from Maisie by her grandfather.

Turned out that she was genetically bred to be exactly the same. However, Charlotte discovered that she had a rare genetic condition that would prove to be fatal. She managed to remove this from Maisie so that she no longer carried this disease but she took the secret of how to accomplish this to her grave. We discover that Dr Wu has been seeking her out so that he can find a way to eradicate the genetically modified locust that he’s been creating for the company Biosyn.

Yep, a movie about Dinosaurs and we gotta deal with Locust.

Jurassic World Dominion Locusts

 

Who is Biosyn?

Biosyn is basically the opposite of INGEN and it’s headed up by Lewis Dodgson who you might remember as being a character from the first Jurassic Park movie. He’s the only actor not to return because the guy who originally played him is now a convicted sex offender so instead they’ve got in The Amazing Spider-Man’s dad.

Also Biosyn…like Biological Sin… in case you were wondering who the bad guys were.

Now he’s headed up the locust project and it’s theorised by Ellie that these swarms have been attacking crops throughout the world that aren’t Biosyn-produced seeds. They’re on their way to causing a food crisis that will lead to billions of people starving. Ellie then goes to get help from Dr Alan Grant. This takes them to Biosyn which is where Doctor Ian Malcolm works.

At the same time, we follow Owen and Claire as they attempt to rescue Maisie. Along the way, they come across Kayla and the movie basically revolves around taking out Biosyn and surviving all the dinos there that inhabit the location.

The Gang’s All Here

As the groups get back together we have several easter eggs from the series pop up. Ellie ends up looking over a triceratops like she did in the first film, flares are used to make dinosaurs go in a certain direction, Malcolm brings up how many kids he has, a Dilophosaurus pops up, Alan asks about a T-Rex on a helicopter and characters that look like Dennis Nedry.

I’m not sure whether Bryce Dallas Howard was pregnant during this movie or not but they have a large number of scenes where she’s standing with a coat covering her belly. There’s even a moment early on where she says she’s just burning a coat. They should’ve just made it part of the plot with Owen the dad.

Ellie, Alan and Malcolm end up rescuing Maisie and they attempt to escape which is when they come across Owen, Claire and Kayla out in the forest.

However, they’ve got bigger bigger bigger issues that pop up when a Giganotosaurus pops up. This took me back to the days of Dino Crisis 2 when that massive monster used to chase you towards the end of the game and I always thought it was pronounced ‘Gigantosaurus’ but I digress.

This creature is the largest predator to ever walk the earth and it becomes the main dinosaur antagonist towards the end of the movie.

Giganotosaurus

The group attempt to climb a tower as the Giganotosaurus tries to eat them and it’s during this that Ian Malcolm lights a branch on fire. However, unlike the flare in the first movie, he ends up throwing it in the beast’s mouth. At the top of the tower, Claire stuns it and it flees.

Whilst all this has been going on, Lewis has tried to incinerate the locust so that the truth of Biosyn can’t be discovered but they end up escaping and they cause a forest fire.

As the compound burns, Lewis’ right-hand man Ramsey goes to see him which is where we see the shaving cream can from the first movie. This was recovered in Camp Cretaceous but Ramsey doesn’t want to let it go to the Archive 81 and it’s revealed he set Lewis up.

The group realise that to escape they need to restore the power and whilst one group handles that, the others go after Blue’s baby. Forgot to mention that it was also stolen by Biosyn along with Maisie and that’s why these breakdowns are terrible.

The powering up scene is done in a very similar way to the one from the first movie and you have to hand it to Ellie, she’s good at turning on switches…and Alan Grant.

Dodgson attempts to flee with scientific research and he’s killed by three Dilophosauruses. These spit acid in his face mirroring the fate that Nedry had whilst working for him. Guess he couldn’t Dodgson.

Dilophosaurus in Jurassic World Dominion

As the group attempt to escape they come across Dr Wu who actually has somewhat of a redemption arc in the movie. Though the last two have seen him as somewhat of a villain, he helps to engineer a way to stop the locust, thus saving the planet.

As they try to get to Kayla’s chopper the Tyrannosaurus shows up and then the Giganotosaurus. This is the big battle that the whole movie’s been building towards and though one is initially T-rexed, they get the upper hand after a little help from a friend, Rexy comes out as the winner. Rexy pushes Giganotasaurus into the claws of the Thereneatasaurus which impales it on its sharp talons. As for Rexy this is supposed to be the same one that popped up all the way up at the start of the first movie and he’s basically their mate now.

All’s Well That Ends Well

In the end, Alan and Ellie kiss after he says he’s going with her. Throughout the movie, she said she thought he wanted to be alone but being back with her has made him realise how happy he is. This is mirrored in Maisie who ends up seeing the family that she was fighting against for what they truly are.

Dr Wu ends up engineering the Locust DNA to save the planet and he attributes this to Charlotte rather than taking the credit himself. Rather than destroying the crops these creatures now fly away.

Ramsey ends up becoming a whistleblower on Biosyn and though humanity was struggling to live with the dinosaurs we decide to make peace with them. At Biosyn Valley, the dinosaurs there are granted sanctuary and they’re allowed to live free away from the outside world.

There are several T-rexes here, mirroring the end of the Lost World.

Now there is the potential that Ramsey could end up taking the dinosaurs in a positive direction and whereas they’ve been exploited in the past, he could end up caring for them. Being a whistleblower shows where his allegiances lie and with BioSyn valley now being a sanctuary, he could look after them.

Baby Blue is reunited with her mother and they run off into the forest together. This very much shows that we as humans must learn to live with the dinosaurs. Life finds a way and in the end, they were here longer than we’ve been. The humans manage to bring the dinosaurs into Earth’s ecosystem and the movie ends with a hopeful message. Whereas it was thought that one species would push the other to extinction we see that these animals manage to co-exist alongside the others on the planet. We must co-exist if we both want to survive and it ends the film on a positive note.

 

What’s next for the franchise? 

Going forward there are rumblings of a sequel and there certainly are several characters they could go with such as Maisie, Ramsey and Kayla.

We could also even get a prequel as we discover in Charlotte’s video diaries that Ingen had developed Dinosaurs in the 1980s.

However, Jurassic World Dominion very much feels like a closing of the book to me and it wraps up both the Park and World trilogies. Personally, I think they should probably give it a rest for a bit and I’m guessing that if the series does come back that it’ll add a new world to the end of Jurassic. Jurassic Park…in spaaaaaaaace.

 

Jurassic World Dominion Review 

Now as for my thoughts on Jurassic World Dominion, I think the series is probably gonna go extinct after this one as it’s pretty underwhelming and it isn’t being well received. The money it makes will either make or break it but I dunno how it’s gonna be received by general audiences.

I don’t think it’s as bad as the reviews are making it out to be but there are several weird choices in it that make it the worst film in my opinion. The locust plot is a weird driving force as is the human cloning one, I think both of which bog down this film. Jurassic Park movies are supposed to be about the dinosaurs and in the same way that the Godzilla franchise ends up worse off because of the human drama, I think this does too. There’s a vast number of scenes that are pretty meh and the more we’ve moved away from the park the worse I think that the series has got.

I think these films are at their best when they’re in one location like Park, Lost World, 3 and World and I’m not sure it works as a globe-trotting adventure.

Now there are some high points in it like the phenomenal parachute scene, the raptor chase and also the dinosaurs towards the end. However, they aren’t impactful enough in my opinion and when comparing them to the rest of the franchise they fall short. This franchise gave us the big T-Rex scene, the Raptors in the kitchen, the two T-rexes as the caravan dangled over the cliff, the spinosaurus, that woman getting eaten in Jurassic World for being on her phone too much and the Brachiosaurus in the fire. I just don’t think that this movie has scenes that stick in my memory like that and it feels very much like a clone of previous films, but it doesn’t live up to them.

That metaphor can be applied to the entire franchise and in a way, the Jurassic Park series is a lot like Jurassic Park itself. You had the awe and wonder the first time you saw it, but then there were a couple of disasters. They then rebooted the park but after a couple of deaths they just kept going even though anyone else would’ve been like ‘mate, people have died, stop trying to make this park a thing.’ Now by people have died, I mean the movies have been meh, but much like BioSyn, there’s too much money involved in letting the dinos just go extinct. There have been so many disasters with Jurassic Park that they should just scrap the whole thing.

Bit of a long-winded way to say that this movie didn’t really need to be made and that they were so occupied with seeing if they could do it, they didn’t stop to think about whether they should.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy it if you turn your brain off and the nostalgia of seeing the original cast back definitely does a lot of the heavy lifting.

The moments with Alan, Ellie, and Ian are by far the strongest parts of the film, giving us closure on what happened to them.

I’m happy for this series to be as dead as the dodo and that’s why it gets a…

5.5/10

Now obviously I’d love to hear your thoughts on the movie.

I know some people think it’s worse than what I’ve said and some think it’s better. Comment below and let me know.
