Jurassic World Dominion is a 2022 American science fiction action film directed by Colin Trevorrow, who co-wrote the screenplay with Emily Carmichael from a story by Derek Connolly and Trevorrow. The sequel to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), it is the third installment in the Jurassic World series and the sixth installment overall in the Jurassic Park film series, concluding the original storyline that began with Jurassic Park (1993). Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong, and Omar Sy reprise their roles from the previous films, along with Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill, who appear together for the first time since the original Jurassic Park. Also joining the cast were DeWanda Wise and Mamoudou Athie.

The film is set four years after the events of Fallen Kingdom, with dinosaurs and other de-extinct prehistoric animals now living alongside humans around the world. It follows Owen Grady and Claire Dearing as they embark on a rescue mission, while Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm work to expose a conspiracy by the genomics corporation Biosyn. Planning for the film began in 2014, before the release of the first Jurassic World film. Filming took place from February to November 2020 in Canada, England, and Malta. With an estimated budget of $265 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, filming was suspended for several months and the release was delayed by a year.

Jurassic World Dominion premiered in Mexico City on May 23, 2022, and was released in the United States by Universal Pictures on June 10. It received generally negative reviews from critics, although an extended edition, included with the home media release, was met more positively. Like its predecessors, the film was a financial success and grossed $1 billion worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2022. A standalone sequel, Jurassic World Rebirth, is scheduled for release on July 2, 2025.

Plot

Four years after the Lockwood Estate incident that followed the volcanic eruption of Isla Nublar,{{efn|As depicted in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018).}} once-extinct dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals freely roam the Earth. Amid global efforts to control them, Biosyn Genetics establishes a dinosaur preserve in Italy's Dolomites and conducts genomics research, ostensibly for pharmacological applications.

Claire Dearing, Zia Rodriguez, and Franklin Webb investigate illegal dinosaur breeding sites, also gathering proofs of cases of animal cruelty. Claire's partner, Owen Grady, helps relocate stray dinosaurs. At their remote cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Claire and Owen secretly raise 14-year-old Maisie Lockwood (Benjamin Lockwood's biogenetic granddaughter) and protect her from groups seeking to exploit her unique genetic makeup.

When Blue, the Velociraptor Owen raised and trained, arrives at the cabin with an asexually-reproduced hatchling, Maisie names it Beta. Increasingly frustrated living in seclusion, Maisie sneaks away to explore. Mercenaries searching for Maisie find and kidnap her and capture Beta.

Meanwhile, swarms of giant locusts are decimating U.S. crops. Dr. Ellie Sattler observes that crops grown with Biosyn seeds are left uneaten, raising suspicions that Biosyn created the insects. She takes a captured locust to her former romantic partner, paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant. They determine the locust was genetically engineered with Cretaceous-period and contemporary DNA. Ellie reveals she is now divorced from her husband Mark.

Franklin, now with the CIA's dangerous-species division, believes Maisie may have been taken to Malta. Upon arrival there, Claire and Owen infiltrate a dinosaur black market with Owen's former Jurassic World colleague Barry Sembène, who is leading a French Intelligence raid. Carnivorous dinosaurs are unleashed during the foray, wreaking havoc. When Claire and Owen learn that Maisie and Beta were transported to the Biosyn facility, sympathetic cargo pilot Kayla Watts agrees to fly them there.

Chaotician Dr. Ian Malcolm now works for Biosyn. He sought Ellie's help to expose CEO Dr. Lewis Dodgson after communications director Ramsay Cole warned him of Dodgson's illegal activities. Dodgson is exploiting dinosaurs and coerces former InGen geneticist Dr. Henry Wu to modify the transgenic locust to let Biosyn corner the world's food supply. Wu denounces the plan, warning it will cause an ecological collapse as the locusts spread unchecked.

Wu meets Maisie and explains that his former colleague, Dr. Charlotte Lockwood (Benjamin Lockwood's deceased daughter), used her own DNA to replicate and give birth to the genetically identical Maisie. She also altered Maisie's DNA to prevent her from inheriting the fatal disease which she had. Wu believes that Maisie and Beta's asexual conception and DNA are key to creating a pathogen to halt the locust outbreak.

A Quetzalcoatlus attacks Kayla's plane in Biosyn's airspace, forcing Owen and Kayla to crash land while Claire is ejected. After separate dinosaur encounters, the three regroup. Inside Biosyn, Ian and Ramsay covertly advise Ellie and Alan on where to obtain a locust DNA sample. While searching for the lab, they encounter Maisie. Discovering the breach, Dodgson attempts to incinerate the locusts to destroy evidence; some locusts escape through an air vent while ablaze, sparking a wildfire around the preserve.

Alan, Ellie, and Maisie barely escape the facility before finding Ian. They meet Owen, Claire and Kayla, with Ramsay later joining them. Dodgson flees with dinosaur embryos{{efn|Initially stolen by Dennis Nedry on Dodgson's orders in Jurassic Park (1993), and obtained by Dodgson in the fifth season of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous (2022).}} via a hyperloop, but becomes trapped after Claire and Ellie reroute the power and is then killed by a trio of Dilophosaurus. As the group works together, Owen, with Alan and Maisie's help, captures Beta. They and Wu escape in a Biosyn helicopter amidst a fight between a Giganotosaurus and Isla Nublar's former resident Tyrannosaurus,{{efn|An individual commonly known offscreen as Rexy.{{cite web |last=Scott |first=Ryan |title=Jurassic Park T-Rex Has a Name and It's Not Rexy |url=https://movieweb.com/jurassic-park-t-rex-name-roberta/ |work=MovieWeb |date=December 13, 2018 |access-date=January 16, 2025}}}} the latter assisted by a Therizinosaurus.

Ellie and Alan rekindle their romantic relationship before testifying with Ian and Ramsay against Biosyn. Owen, Claire, and Maisie return home and reunite Beta and Blue. Wu releases a host locust carrying the pathogen, gradually eradicating the swarms. Dinosaurs and humans adapt to a new co-existence, and the United Nations declares Biosyn Valley an international dinosaur sanctuary.

Production

During early conversations about Jurassic World (2015), executive producer Steven Spielberg told director Colin Trevorrow that he was interested in having more films made.{{Cite web |last=Weintraub |first=Steve |date=June 13, 2015 |title=Jurassic World: Colin Trevorrow Talks Building a Foundation for Future Installments |url=http://collider.com/colin-trevorrow-talks-jurassic-world-sequels-blu-ray-and-more/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150615093106/http://collider.com/colin-trevorrow-talks-jurassic-world-sequels-blu-ray-and-more/ |archive-date=June 15, 2015 |access-date=June 13, 2015 |website=Collider}} In April 2014, Trevorrow announced that sequels to Jurassic World had been discussed. He said that they wanted to create something "less arbitrary and episodic", which could "potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story". Later, when Trevorrow was asked how much planning he had put into a trilogy while he was filming Jurassic World in 2014, he replied that he knew where the story would end.{{Cite web |date=September 30, 2016 |title=Colin Trevorrow Talks Jurassic World 2 and More!

It needs to be thought through on that level. It can't be arbitrary [...] The earlier Jurassic Park movies had pretty clear definitive endings.

In May 2015, Trevorrow expressed his desire to have other directors work on future films, believing they could bring different qualities to the series:{{Cite web |date=May 31, 2015 |title=Colin Trevorrow Not Directing the Next Jurassic Park Film |url=http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/445457-colin-trevorrow-not-directing-the-next-jurassic-park-film |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150602202650/http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/445457-colin-trevorrow-not-directing-the-next-jurassic-park-film |archive-date=June 2, 2015 |access-date=May 31, 2015 |publisher=ComingSoon.net}} "I think this is one of those franchises—like Mission: Impossible, and like what they're currently doing with Star Warsthat is going to really benefit from new voices and new points of view.

Trevorrow had been set to direct Star Wars: Episode IX before leaving the project in September 2017.

Some of those scenes we thought were better seen in a world where dinosaurs had spread all over the world. Colin, from time to time, came to me and said, 'I want this character to say that line because this is a moment that's referencing something I want to use in Jurassic 3{{'}}."

Trevorrow did not want to depict dinosaurs terrorizing cities, which he considered unrealistic. He wanted to honor Michael Crichton's novels Jurassic Park (1990) and The Lost World (1995), believing that humans and dinosaurs "battling it out in the city streets is a different kind of film than what he would've done". Trevorrow described a world where "a dinosaur might run out in front of your car on a foggy backroad, or invade your campground looking for food. A world where dinosaur interaction is unlikely but possible—the same way we watch out for bears or sharks. We hunt animals, we traffic them, we herd them, we breed them, we invade their territory and pay the price, but we don't go to war with them."{{Cite web |last=Anderton |first=Ethan |date=December 14, 2018 |title=Sorry, But 'Jurassic World 3' Won't Have Dinosaurs Attacking Cities |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-3-details/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181219044312/https://www.slashfilm.com/jurassic-world-3-details/ |archive-date=December 19, 2018 |access-date=December 18, 2018 |website=/Film}}

About the film's realism, Trevorrow said that dinosaurs would not be "everywhere all the time. I think any kind of global acceptance that they are just around doesn't feel real to me because, even now when you think of animals, when was the last time you saw a tiger walking down the street? We know there are tigers. We know they're out there. But to me, it's very important that we keep this grounded in the context of our relationship with wild animals today." For inspiration, he watched episodes of Planet Earth and alien-invasion films with a realistic perspective.{{cite web |last=Vorel |first=Jim |title=Colin Trevorrow Shoots Down (Stupid) Fan Theories of a Dinosaur vs. Human War in Jurassic World 3 |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/jurassic-world/colin-trevorrow-shoots-down-stupid-fan-theories-of/ |website=Paste |access-date=April 29, 2022 |date=December 14, 2018 |archive-date=April 29, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220429165938/https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/jurassic-world/colin-trevorrow-shoots-down-stupid-fan-theories-of/ |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last=Weiss |first=Josh |title=Trevorrow explains why 'Jurassic World: Dominion' doesn't follow typical Hollywood structure |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/jurassic-world-dominion-structure-colin-trevorrow |website=Syfy |access-date=April 29, 2022 |date=December 9, 2021 |archive-date=April 29, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220429164436/https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/jurassic-world-dominion-structure-colin-trevorrow |url-status=live}} Trevorrow said that his goal for the Jurassic World trilogy was to have a line from Claire in the first film ("No one is impressed by a dinosaur anymore") disproved in the final film.{{Cite web |last=Lussier |first=Germain |date=June 25, 2018 |title=The Makers of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Solve Some of the Film's Biggest Mysteries |url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-makers-of-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-solve-some-1826960515 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181205003621/https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-makers-of-jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-solve-some-1826960515 |archive-date=December 5, 2018 |access-date=December 4, 2018 |website=io9}}

Universal eventually confirmed that filming would resume in July 2020 at Pinewood Studios. The company planned to spend about $5 million on safety protocols, including thousands of COVID-19 tests for each cast and crew member (who would be tested before production resumed and several times during filming). A medical facility would be commissioned to perform the tests, and doctors and nurses would be on site during filming. The cast and crew would receive COVID-19 training, and the Pinewood set would include 150 hand-sanitizer stations and 1,800 safety signs to remind them of safety precautions such as social distancing. Walk-through temperature-testing stations would be built. All members of the production team would be required to wear masks, except for the actors during filming.{{Cite web |last=Wiseman |first=Andreas |date=June 15, 2020 |title=Universal's 'Jurassic World: Dominion' On Course To Be First Major Studio Movie Back Underway In UK, Detailed Safety Protocols Revealed |url=https://deadline.com/2020/06/universal-jurassic-world-production-uk-chris-pratt-bryce-dallas-howard-1202958819/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200615122204/https://deadline.com/2020/06/universal-jurassic-world-production-uk-chris-pratt-bryce-dallas-howard-1202958819/ |archive-date=June 15, 2020 |access-date=June 15, 2020 |website=Deadline}} The cast received a 109-page document outlining the safety protocols.{{Cite web |last=Seemayer |first=Zach |date=July 15, 2020 |title=Jeff Goldblum on '109-Page' List of Safety Protocols as 'Jurassic World 3' Starts Filming Again |url=https://www.etonline.com/jeff-goldblum-on-109-page-list-of-safety-protocols-as-jurassic-world-3-starts-filming-again-149716 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200724133513/https://www.etonline.com/jeff-goldblum-on-109-page-list-of-safety-protocols-as-jurassic-world-3-starts-filming-again-149716 |archive-date=July 24, 2020 |access-date=July 24, 2020 |website=Entertainment Tonight}} The 750-person production team was divided into two groups, with the larger group consisting of crew members involved in construction, props, and other pre-filming activities.

==Locations and sets==

Trevorrow wanted the film to take place in locations not previously featured in the series, including Malta and the Dolomites. Location shooting was preferred to sets, and blue screens were rarely used. Jurassic World Dominion is the first film in the franchise with dinosaurs in a snowy environment. Some scenes, set in the Sierra Nevada, were filmed in British Columbia during a snowy winter.{{cite web |title=Jurassic World Dominion Production Information |url=https://dam.gettyimages.com/viewer/universal/jz7wmp4859gqpg7nzwvhqq |website=Universal Pictures |access-date=August 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220801134056/https://dam.gettyimages.com/viewer/universal/jz7wmp4859gqpg7nzwvhqq |archive-date=August 1, 2022 |date=2022 |pages=6, 26, 28–29}} Merritt was among the British Columbia locations,{{Cite news |last=Courtepatte |first=Jake |date=February 7, 2020 |title=Jurassic World 3 filming coming to Merritt |work=Merritt Herald |url=https://www.merrittherald.com/jurassic-world-3-filming-coming-to-merritt/ |access-date=February 12, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200208142231/https://www.merrittherald.com/jurassic-world-3-filming-coming-to-merritt/ |archive-date=February 8, 2020}}{{Cite news |last=Davies |first=Colton |date=February 24, 2020 |title=Jurassic World 3 to begin filming in Merritt tomorrow |work=Radio NL |url=https://www.radionl.com/2020/02/24/52536/ |access-date=February 25, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927144040/https://www.radionl.com/2020/02/24/52536/ |archive-date=September 27, 2020}} which included its downtown{{Cite news |last=Leclair |first=Kim |date=February 26, 2020 |title=Midweek edition |work=Merritt Morning Market |url=https://merrittmorningmarket.com/2020/02/26/midweek-edition-96/ |access-date=February 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200227223238/https://merrittmorningmarket.com/2020/02/26/midweek-edition-96/ |archive-date=February 27, 2020}} and a lumber yard.{{cite news |title=A cameo of prehistoric proportions |url=https://www.merrittherald.com/a-cameo-of-prehistoric-proportions/ |access-date=June 10, 2022 |work=Merritt Herald |date=February 23, 2022 |archive-date=August 11, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220811200212/https://www.merrittherald.com/a-cameo-of-prehistoric-proportions/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title=A Closer Look: Jurassic World Dominion filming in Merritt, B.C. |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xvS9IsPryQ |website=Thompson-Nicola Film Commission |access-date=June 13, 2022 |date=June 9, 2022 |at=3:03 |archive-date=June 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220613171706/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xvS9IsPryQ |url-status=live }} In an early scene, Owen and others ride horses to herd a group of Parasaurolophus. For years, Trevorrow had wanted to introduce such a scene (also filmed in British Columbia).

Trevorrow's inspiration for this came from a car chase sequence in the 1998 film Ronin.{{cite web |last=Weintraub |first=Steven |title=Colin Trevorrow Talks 'Jurassic World Dominion Extended Edition' and the Future of the Franchise |url=https://collider.com/jurassic-world-dominion-extended-edition-colin-trevorrow-interview/ |website=Collider |access-date=October 31, 2024 |date=August 19, 2022}} Shooting the Valletta chase was complicated, and required up to nine cameras filming simultaneously. Trevorrow and Bradley had worked closely to design the sequence. Pratt filmed his part of the chase in a UK blue-screen studio, riding a stationary bike on a treadmill. A car-crash scene was filmed in the town of Floriana. Malta is portrayed as itself in the film except for Mellieħa, which depicted part of Grant's dig site in Utah.

ILM's special effects supervisor, David Vickery, praised Bradley's second-unit work in Malta, calling it "very fast, very shaky, very frenetic, a lot of energy", but said also that such a style "goes against everything you're trying to do in visual effects."

The extended edition was met with slightly more positive reviews.
