Jurassic World: Dominion Spoiler-Talk Megathread

Jurassic World: Dominion

With Jurassic World: Dominion nearing release in theaters on June 10, 2022, I am creating this megathread to help keep spoiler-talk discussion contained to one thread leading up to the premiere. Please keep all spoiler-talk for the film contained to this thread.

Be forewarned before proceeding further that MAJOR-SPOILERS follow. You have been warned.

Edit: Because it will inevitably occur, discussion regarding leaks to the film are permitted in this thread.

The final battle with the Giga is a lot more engaging than the trailer and promotional material has shown. When the Giga appears and after Ian's line, the humans naturally go for cover. Shenanigans ensue but eventually, they utilize the "dino behavior chip" mechanic and bring in protection. Carnotaurus, Ceratosaurus, Baryonyx, and Allosaurus (both a male and female) arrive and charge the Giga, but they're defeated (not killed, because we've seen babies and we can't kill their parents). As the female Allosaurus is being flung to the ground, the classic Spinosaurus roar is heard and the King of Sorna makes his comeback, after only being hinted at throughout the film. The fight is rough, but the Giga is sadistic and allows itself to get bitten just to get the Spinosaurus in closer to attack the sail, injuring the spined boy. Rexy then makes her triumphant return after we last saw her scavenging around in the sanctuary miserably. The two clash like linebackers, and soon the Giga's got the queen in a very JP3-ish situation with the neck, but Rexy is smart and powers out of it. While providing a better fight than she did against the Indominus, Rexy is still outmatched and starts to get pushed back, which is where the Spinosaurus tags back in. The Giga is strong, but it's no match for the combined strength of these two and is inevitably tossed off a cliff by Rexy. The humans use the chip to get the Spinosaurus and other carnivores to disperse, but Rexy doesn't respond, prompting them to realize she hasn't been following the chip the whole time. The rex eyes the humans, sniffing them in a scene similar to when Lex and Grant were by the Explorer, but she's got no interest in the little humans at this time. Eventually, Rexy does leave after doing the classic rotunda pose and roar, while the OG trio admire an animal they first met nearly 30 years ago.

In Biosyn's dino sample room, there's of course a list of species plastered around various glass cases of embryos and various blood/DNA vials. Lot of random species, lot of ones we've seen already. For example: Plesiosaurus, Megalodon, Sarcosuchus, Utahraptor, Dakotaraptor, Diplodocus, Othnelia, Camarasaurus, Huayangosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Repenonamus, Pachyrhachis, Cretaceous ants and wasps, so on. Basically somebody Googled a list and grabbed fan favorites and more obscure names for variety.

Paul Kirby is in the film but only as a commercial type thing. It's a promo for his store and shows a Pteranodon nest on the roof as a tourist attraction (it's fenced off, of course). Go figure.

Biosyn's sanctuary is dismantled and all of the animal life is transported to Sorna, which is revealed in the film to still be doing fine but Claire and the DPG manipulated the media in order to protect it and save the inhabitants of Nublar as well. They confirm Rexy is going to live a long, peaceful life, so long as they can keep Sorna safe, which shouldn't be as difficult now with dinos all over the world to make Sorna less palatable for poachers.

Dodgson's fate is cool. He's outside the Biosyn lab, attempting to leave by chopper, when he hears the Dilophosaurus hooting. A Dilophosaurus peaks its head out of the brush, but Dodgson shoots at it, scaring it away. As he loads his stuff into the chopper, there's a much deeper hooting heard behind him. He turns around, expecting to see another small Dilophosaurus, but he switches his angle upward. We don't see the animal in the flesh, but there's a shadow on the wall, far larger than the little one before, and we watch the shadow annihilate Dodgson. Think Scar's final moments in the original Lion King.

Kelly is referenced and we see gymnastics medals at Ian's house, so she must have gotten back into it post-TLW. Sarah is seen via video call, and her and Ian have a touching conversation.

Roland is mentioned as having retired from hunting immediately after TLW and settling down in a remote place. It's not clarified if he's still alive or not.

Maisie is naturally adopted by Claire and Owen, who finally have none of this back-and-forth drama and are just together. They live near Blue to keep an eye on her and especially make it a priority once Beta is made known.

Biosyn's locusts make for great delicacies in some countries at the end, and they did do some good in the world, despite their ultimate goal to be Umbrella 2.0.

Wu survives and is 100% an accepted good guy by the end.

Camp Cretaceous is barely referenced beyond the Barbosol can, but that's such a vague thing they could easily spin it to mean it was retrieved somehow else.

Toretto's team is referenced as having specialized skills necessary for retrieving Beta from Biosyn's facility, but it's deemed not quick enough by Owen. The crossover is happening post-Dominion and I'm sure there will be some post-credits scene in Fast X to further this relationship. Gotta keep that gravy training going somehow.

There's a clip montage during the end credits that covers all the films, though predictably TLW and JP3 get much less screen time than the other sequels.

A lot more of John Williams' score is used for this one, particularly for the OG trio's scenes. Don Davis' theme for the Spinosaurus is used sparsely during the Giga fight.

None of the OG trio die. That's baloney. You know they're protected by the highest magnitude of plot armor, just like Owen, Claire, and Maisie.

Hope that helps.

You have no idea how much I like your description of the fight over what I’ve been hearing so far. Unless someone says Rexy does more than the leaks say, I might be a bit bothered if the fight goes Giga’s way 100% until, literally, the very end. Even against Indominus, Rexy was doing a little damage before the I.Rex used its arms.

I knew this was a shitpost the moment you mentioned all the other dinosaurs rushing the Giga and the Spino. :D

Imagine if the movie ended revealing that the World Trilogy was all along a prequel to a "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story" Live Action movie with Whoopi Goldberg voicing Rexy.

Just watched the film

THERE IS NO SPINOSAURUS But there’s a quick shot of dimetrodon underwater with sail sticking out which calls back to JP3. Not entirely sure because the cave is dark. There are 3 dinetrodons

No oviraptor or iguanodon

Alan Grant still pissy about Malcolm flirting with Ellie

Barry and Owen put an atrociraptor back to it’s cage

I stg the locusts have more screen time than some of the Dinos

Therizino slaps a deer in its way

Malcolm throws a burning locust on a stick into Gigas mouth

I’ll answer any questions

u/Moros13 avatar

Iguanodon is in. You can see it — when the Paras are looking at the falling locusts, when the dinos are being herded and then inside the facility - next to the Dread

Was the Black market truely as dark and sad to see as it probably should be? Or was it used more as an action piece?

The only thing I want this film to do is respect the original characters. Too many big franchises are bringing back old characters and just dumping on them and turning them into something they aren't.

It's kind of already happening. Alan Grant would be as far away from this thing as possible. So would Malcolm.

u/Moros13 avatar

Alan and Ellie aren’t even involved with the dinos. Ian is consulting for BioSyn. They happen to be there when things go to hell.

u/TheVolunteer0002 avatar

Yeah they just "happen" to be there. Really hope it's not a script that heavily relies on convenience and nostalgia the whole time. Or any of the time for that matter.

u/Moros13 avatar

Of course it does.

Can you think of any plausible reason they would ever go near dinosaurs again after the OG trilogy?

Here’s a leak that seems to line up with the original leak that everyone has seen. Gives some more details about the plot but lines up with everything and checks out.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LeaksAndRumors/comments/ugeg0x/4chan_jurassic_world_dominion_plot/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Honestly the plot sounds like a mess and with how divisive opinion is with everything coming out, this isn’t the movie a lot of people wanted.

Too many plot lines, contrived and has similarities to another film that came out last year, but this sounds messier and eye rolling at times

u/Unnecessary_Fella avatar

This is actually terrible.

I might be asking a dumb question but is" has similarities to another film that came out last year," referencing Spiderman no way home? just wanna be sure

No I was referring to Godzilla vs Kong

Two groups with one investigating something (legacy cast) and the other going after another (Owen’s group)They eventually meet up in the third act with a big fight taking place and another party joins (Rex vs Giga vs Thera)

That movie made it worked but also had issues with the separation of the main characters and basically following two story lines that end up coinciding. Funny enough Legendary had a hand in the production of both that and Dominion

As far as I know, Legendary was not involved at all into Dominion's production.

The leaked clip of the Pyroraptor diving under the ice is some of the absolute dumbest looking garbage I've seen the JW era pull.

u/NateZilla10000 avatar
  • Ambush predator corners prey out on ice.

  • Ice is solid enough to support weight of prey and predator.

  • Only place prey can go is run further out onto the ice; essentially an open field. Perfect for pursuit. . . . .

  • Predator dives under water, trapping itself under the ice. Swims towards prey.

Can you tell the writers for Pacific Rim Uprising worked on this yet?

Yeah it seems fucking stupid lmao, like its whole plan of catching Owen relied on him falling through the ice into the water where it was... Unless there was a hole he fell through and it seen it but that means it's damn smart lol

Just literally have it chase them on the ice and slip over a few times.

More replies

So a PYROraptor is part aquatic….

u/Rhedosaurus avatar

Obviously Pyroraptor generates so much heat that it can melt through the ice seamlessly and not freeze to death or fucking drown under the ice.

People are seriously still defending these movies? This is like Carnosaur 2 level dumb bullshit.

(I know you're not, just got into a rant)

Not to mention this decision goes against every instinct an animal like this would have. This is one of the things the JW series did is make these animals into heroes and villains with heroic or villainous personalities, and the accepted reason that this is ok is “they’re engineered” and not natural.

u/Rhedosaurus avatar

It's especially infuriating because the scene is already tense! You have a predator you need to avoid without breaking the ice! Why add a twist that just makes the whole thing fucking goofy?!

Their whole "Rex must look like a complete joke" Rule is hilarious. Someone behind the scenes probably doesn't like the dinosaur much, and has a hater boner for paleontologists. Hell, that prologue scene looked so bad, what with Gigan doing a neck crunch kill and not a bleeding kill just shows they just grabbed the dino because "Muh size".

ALL THE SPOILERS

Loctus thing happens because of BioSyn. Original cast want to take them down , Claire and Owen are there because they want to save Maisie and Beta.

Grant stabs Dimetrodon with raptor claw.

Rexy & Theri kill Giga

Theri kills a moose for entring her territory.

Atrociraptors are not BioSyn made. They are owned by Sayona. Their handler is Charlotte Lockwood. They only appear in Malta.

Pyroraptor only appears in Snowy biome. That biome is similair to Camp Cretaceous Mantha Corp biome. Kayla pulls Owen from water and saves him. They get out biome by getting out from door.

When Quetz causes plane to fall. Claire lands to swamp where Theri lives. She holds her breath under water , theri gets distiracted and leaves.

No Spinosaurus also no new additions from Ingens list or no returning dinos from TLW & JP3

People sell dinosaurs in black market. Baby carno can be seen here. They also sell compies and microceratus as food. People eat them. They buy Dimorphodons in bird cages.

Mosa only has a scene where it attacks crab cage boat. Other than that its not involved in action.

Oviraptor and İguanadon cut from movie.

No Plesiosaurus

Claire encounters Dilo , Owen saves her by chocking dilo and making it run away.

Wu becomes good guy and survives.

Only Dodgson dies , 3 dilos eat him. It has a call back to Nedry's death.

Allo and Carno have little brawl while Owen fights black market guys.

Scott Haze's character Rain Delacourt is a black market guy. He dies when baby carno and lystrosaurus bites his hand and finally juvenile Baryonyx eat his head.

In the end Rexy survives and lives with other 2 Rex in BioSyn Valley. They were transfered from Sorna.

Moros appears twice. First eats a rat in BioSyn lab. Then in the end a girl pet it in the park.

In the end humans learn to coexist with dinos. There are shots like ceratopsids and elephants together. Pterasaurs and birds flying, girl pets moros , Mosa swimming with Whales.

Dilo is not bigger as expected. Its same size with Camp Cretaceous

Giga , doesn't kill anyone but has a scene where it bullies Rexy and steals her food.

Dodgson tries to destroy loctus but they escape.

Ellie and Grant reunite

Blue and Beat also reunites as seen in the first tralier. That shot is from the end actually.

Also Blue has a minor role same for Rexy

Overall movie is not the perfect endgame stuff as expected. Too much empty action. Its not really good if u ask me. Not close to first 2 movies. Better than Fallen Kingdom. Same tier as JW and JP3. Nostalgia kinda saves some but still not enough. I think it deserves 6/10 but I give it 7/10 just for nostalgia and old cast. Old cast has best dialogues by the way. Also Dimetrodon had the best scene. Creepy and scary. Atmosphere was great in that scene. Only memorable scene for me from the movie. Its also shame Dodgson doesn't appear that much.

u/mjmannella avatar

Theri kills a moose for entring her territory.

In the end Rexy survives and lives with other 2 Rex in BioSyn Valley. They were transfered from Sorna.

This is new stuff to me. I'm surprised nobody else mentioned it in their spoiler reviews

Theri really out here being Muhammad Ali to everything. Also the "with two Rexes from Sorna" sounds super cool. There's zero chance they're the pair from TLW but I hope they have neat designs.

u/mjmannella avatar

Makes me think it's gonna be the mother and daughter from Camp Cretaceous, which would be a very unexpected reveal.

If it's Big and Little Eatie from CC I'll do several backflips in the theater. In a hype way mind you.

Giganotosaurus did nothing wrong and his fate was not deserved at all. He was just doing dino things and didn't act out of malice.

There were a lot of dinosaurs but they didn't have any meaningful nor lasting impressions overall (except for the Atrociraptors). It felt to me as if they were just presenting dinosaurs based on a list of checkboxes and called it a day.

For Trevarrow saying that the giga is like the joker, it was probably the most tame of the big carnivores we've seen in the franchise. It seemed significantly less aggressive than others

Edited

I agree there was no logic in the dinos presented in the movie. In the past movies it always made sense which dinos they were facing (due to buildup; repeated attacks by the same dino; being near their cage or territory...) Like for example when the Indominus Rex was near the lake we expected the Mosasaurus to come out. But here it really felt like they ticked off a huge checklist of dinos and placed them in random scenes : "let's have that pyroraptor in that scene; let's use the Dilo here; let us use him again to kill off that guy; oh uh the movie is almost done we need the Giga to make his move; let us have the Theri again because we need another dino to help the T-rex;..."

People who say Spino appears are lying. Its dimetrodon. People got confused because of sail.

To be fair the scene is dark and they don't really show Dimetrodon's full body.

Just came from the movie, if you have any questions I'll be happy to answer (I'll edit this with some details and coments)

Edit comments:

  • a bizarre lack or just a little presence of Triceratops, Brachiosaurus and Gallimimus

  • in the black market part there may be a plesiosaurus neck roasting since it was supposed to appear

  • Wu's background may imply that the grasshoppers have raptor DNA

  • the Giga does a Zilla and accidentally breathes fire

  • I couldn't notice if any of the new rexes have the male dewlap

  • the Atrociraptors were cooler than I expected

  • No Spino, no cerato, no pachy, no mamenchi

  • there is proof that Microceratus were cloned in Sorna

  • Dimetrodon swims

  • Maisie throws a skull at a Dimetrodon just as Eric did to the Pteranodon on JP3

  • Ian have 5 sons/daughters and Ellie 2

  • The Giga is portrayed cautious and not vicious towards humans at first contact, it approached slowly as if humans were not a regular prey

  • Dinos at the valley are commanded to come and go by computer due to CC chips or similar

I’ve seen the movie today as well. Do you recall seeing Alan stabbing a Dimetrodon? I didn’t catch that detail.

Is Sarah Harding from The Lost World mentioned at all? And what happens to Owen, Alan, and Ian? Also, what are they doing when you last see them in the movie? Thank you. :)

No mention of Sarah, at least in the language I saw. Saw no Easter egg that reminded me.of her.

Owen ends happy with Claire and Maisie living in the cabin, last seen roasting marshmallows in a campfire

Ian, Ellie and Allan are mentioned to go bring public the whole Biosyn plot, the couple is last seen together in a park seeing a kid feed a Moros and I can't remember Ian's last scene

This movie sounds like it has good moments but overall a missed opportunity. Damn Trevorrow is a bad writer

It was really bad imo. It felt like a fast and furious movie with dinosaurs. The plot was all over the place, the action was meaningless because there were no stakes and the cgi and especially the animatronics were bad.
