Four years after Isla Nublar was destroyed, dinosaurs now live (and hunt) alongside human beings across the world. This balance will reshape the future and determine whether humans can remain the apex predators alongside these creatures who now share the planet, in this new and final film in the Jurassic World Franchise.
The film starts with Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas-Howard) living under the radar with Maisie, who they rescued from JW: Fallen Kingdom, but as she is now a teenager she is starting to rebel, as a 14-year-old usually would, and feeling like a prisoner, she explores out of the area and when she makes her way back she discovers Blue who seems to be nesting nearby with an offspring.
Some adult men who work to kidnap both Maisie and Blue’s offspring plan their time well before doing so, which leads Owen and Claire to unexpectedly set out on a mission to find Maisie and bring back Blue’s baby offspring successfully.
A short while later, they both discover it was Lewis Dodgson (Campbell Scott) who orders the abduction, who is also the owner of Biosyn, where he is also finding it challenging to keep it private that he is the one who has released some unusual locusts into crop areas, with the plan for the world to rely on his crops the locusts have not touched. This does not align with his plan, as Ellie Satler (Laura Dern) is on his tail, investigating and strongly suspecting that he is the one who created them in the first place.
With the help of her former partners, Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), Ellie and Alan head to Biosyn to reunite with Ian Malcolm, where they plan to prove that Lewis Dodgson has been purposely releasing these deadly locusts for his own benefit and the benefit of his business. This becomes complicated when they bump into Maisie, who is trying to find Blue’s child, after they bonded and she called it Beta. They all try to escape but are stopped by Dodgson himself, and he works to destroy the evidence he created in the process.
Overall, this is a grand, great finale to the film franchise. I have noticed.
I watched this film on Saturday, 11th June 2022, at Cineworld Plymouth, UK, in a 4DX 3D screening. 4DX is a multi-sensory cinematic experience, so I experienced wind, rain, snow, and movement. Even during the intense scenes, I felt like I had been part of the actual film. It is definitely one I will highly recommend watching, and I advise not to take notice of the bad reviews, as the film blows them out of the water. The scenes, the picture, the action, everything involved truly amazed me – oh, and seeing Chris Pratt in 4DX 3D is also a plus!!!
I really enjoyed this, and when I have some time in the next few weeks, I will most likely go and watch it again in 4DX 3D – if that is still an option for me at Cineworld. I also managed to grab some posters, which made my day. Overall, a great film, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was definitely worth the wait.
I rate this film 5 STARS
