Four years after Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, humans and dinosaurs attempt to coexist on Earth. That sounds like an intriguing premise, but what we get is the same old story about dinosaurs wreaking havoc in an enclosed area. Biosyn Genetics, an evil corporation that messes with nature, has establishes a dinosaur preserve in the Italian Dolomites. Claire and Owen travel there for a rescue mission, while Ellie and Alan (from the original Jurassic Park) are there to find proof of genetically engineered locusts. The third and final episode in the series brings together characters from the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchises for one last showdown. Although the movie is not as awful as its reputation would suggest, it is dumb and frustratingly predictable. The usual close calls and near escapes seem pointless, knowing that during the six movies the dinosaurs are yet to kill a character who didn't deserve to die.
