“Jurassic World: Dominion” Continues the Legacy

Co-written and directed by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World: Dominion continues the science fiction adventure. Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas, Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and Lauren Dern are returning.

The first online poster announces the movie. I like the shot of the young boy, making the image ominous.

The plot is no longer under wraps.

The trailer is fun, with chase scenes similar to James Bond. Still, having the original cast back as the conclusion to this franchise is epic. Of course, Goldblum gets his snarky line in at the end of the trailer.

Dern returns from an eclectic career, garnering an Oscar, an Emmy and five Golden Globe awards.
