Jurassic World - Il Dominio Apr 2026

The elevator scene with Ian Malcolm, Alan Grant, and a very confused modern scientist. Worst moment: Any scene where a character explains the “locust genome.”

There’s a specific moment about halfway through Jurassic World Dominion where Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), looking exhausted by the chaos around him, sighs, “Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions.”

The other major problem is the pacing. The film is 2 hours and 27 minutes long. It feels every second of it. The Malta chase sequence, while fun, is so convoluted that it feels like a deleted scene from a Fast & Furious movie. Owen Grady riding a motorcycle while a Dilophosaurus bites at his tires is ridiculous, but not in a charming way. jurassic world - il dominio

That line perfectly sums up the final chapter of the Jurassic saga. Director Colin Trevorrow had an ambitious goal: to close the loop on a 65-million-year-old story by merging the original Jurassic Park trilogy with the modern Jurassic World series. The result is a film that swings for the fences, hits a few doubles, but ultimately strikes out trying to be too many things at once. Let’s give credit where it’s due. The biggest selling point of Dominion is the premise we’ve wanted for 30 years: dinosaurs are no longer trapped on an island. They are living among us—in redwood forests, frozen tundras, and suburban backyards.

Jurassic World Dominion is the end of an era. It’s messy, overstuffed, and illogical. But it’s also heartfelt and occasionally thrilling. Just like the dinosaurs themselves, it’s a magnificent relic that probably should have been left extinct. The elevator scene with Ian Malcolm, Alan Grant,

Goldblum, in particular, steals every scene. His Malcolm has evolved from a rock-star chaos theorist into a weary, cynical grandfather who is tired of being right. His delivery of the line “So, you’re finally doing something about the locusts?” is comedic gold.

However, if you view it as a victory lap for the legacy characters, it works. Seeing Alan, Ellie, and Ian safe and smiling in the final shot is a warm blanket. The film argues that while we may not have learned the lesson of Jurassic Park (don't resurrect what you can't control), we have learned to respect the people who taught it to us.
