Words Chris Wasey

Sixty-five-million years after their mass extinction, dinosaurs once again fight to reclaim their place as the planet’s apex predators.

At Fallen Kingdom’s epic conclusion, former Jurassic World ranger Owen Grady and park manager Claire Dearing save the dinosaurs and release them into the wild. Since then, dino population has exploded across the globe with humans finding themselves living side by side with enormous roaming herds, and hunted by creatures far beyond their control. Now, four years on, our heroes must fight to stem the tide of human-dinosaur conflict.

With humanity’s place at the top of the food chain at risk, and facing terrifying new prehistoric predators, they’ll need some help.

Returning alongside Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are the stars from the original trilogy: Laura Dern’s Dr Ellie Sattler, Sam Neill’s Dr Alan Grant, and Jeff Goldblum’s Dr Ian Malcolm. Forced back into action, the world-weary trio – who know a thing or two about dinosaur survival – may be the key to finding a solution.

Returning too is director Colin Trevorrow, who brought the franchise roaring back to life with the $1billion breaking Jurassic World, and promises human drama on an enormous scale as he brings the Jurassic era to an epic end.

Thirty years after Steven Spielberg’s legendary dino debut, Jurassic World Dominion lays the story to rest and, whichever species claims dominion over Earth, may also bring dinosaur’s extinction from summer blockbusters.

Yet, whenever we’ve thought it’s dead and buried, this franchise, like life, finds a way.
