These dodgy scientists – led, coincidentally, by a scientist actually called Lewis Dodgson – have already kidnapped both Blue’s dinosaur daughter, and young Maisie for their own nefarious reasons. They’ve been roped in because people are kidnapping dinosaurs from all over the world – I think I’ve got this right – and selling them at an unsavoury dino slave market in – why not? – Malta.Īnd worse, they’re being sent to a giant dinosaur prison farm, run by unscrupulous scientists, who are planning to do something ecologically wrong with them.

Incidentally is there any actor less likely than Jeff Goldblum to be playing a character called “Ian Malcolm”, who sounds like someone who went to school with Boris Johnson?Īnyway, if Malcolm is on deck, can the rest of the initial trio be far behind? Come in Laura Dern as genius scientist Ellie Sattler, and Sam Neill as noble fossil hunter Alan Grant. Yes, Ian Malcolm from the first films is back. As eccentric chaos theory academic Ian Malcolm says, life finds a way. But it seems dinosaurs don’t need a mate to populate the Earth. They also adopted Owen’s faithful raptor Blue.Īgainst all odds, Blue’s had a baby, despite – like all these dinosaurs – having no mate. She then went into hiding with lovable Owen and Claire – Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. You may, or may not, remember that in the last Jurassic World film, young Maisie released the last surviving dinosaurs into the wild. Well, let’s try and marshal the several plot-lines. That scene seems to have been relegated to appearance in trailers only, possibly crowded out by everything else. There was an entire opening sequence of various dinos of various states of plausibility bashing away at each other back in the first Jurassic Age. You can’t say that Jurassic World Dominion thinks small. And the puppetry involved is pretty impressive. Though to be fair to this film, many of these dinosaurs are gigantic, animatronic models.
