Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, covert operations expert Zora Bennett is contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world's three most massive dinosaurs. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that's been hidden from the world for decades.
It is important to mention that this is an instance of gaslighting not because he attempts to twist the narrative to everyone, but because he attempts to tell the victim (who had no witnesses) that she is misremembering and “hysterical.” He attempts to make she and the others believe she is losing her sanity, not just lying. Lying in itself is not gaslighting.
The JP/JW franchise in itself is a commentary on disrespecting nature and animal abuse/exploitation/spectacle (among other things, of course). So you should always go in expecting that something sad or tragic will happen to at least one dinosaur at some point in that movie. That being said here’s the things you may want a heads up on if you’re super sensitive to animal harm/deaths like I am.
*SLIGHT* SPOILERS
We find out early in the movie that most of the dinosaurs in North America (likely including the ones that we came to know and love like Blue and Rexy) are now dead due to inability to survive the modern world.
The opening scene and scenes throughout the movie show dinosaurs who have undergone extremely inhumane and unethical treatment and experimentation. This is followed up by them being abandoned/left to die on the island.
In the first NYC scene we see a large long neck that seems sick and dying that they are attempting to helicopter lift out of the city. We don’t see what comes of the dinosaur but it’s very clear it’s distressed and probably in pain.
Some dinosaurs are shot/killed throughout the movie while the group is attempting to survive.
As someone else mentioned already, we see a dead and partly eaten parasaurolophus when the oldest daughter is going to find a boat.
A raptor is ambushed and killed by a mutadon. I’m not exaggerating when I say this raptor got BODIED by the mutadon. It’s a quick scene and, like most of the violence in this movie, it took place just ever so slightly out of frame. But what we could see and hear was still pretty brutal and left me feeling bad for the raptor. It was immediately followed up with some comic relief if that helps.
Overall it was a good movie and wasn’t at all as triggering as some of the other movies in the franchise!
Technically no, there are no dragons in this movie. I suppose dinosaurs are similar, but I’m not sure why someone said yes. This movie is sci-fi, not fantasy, so dragons are not present. Just dinosaurs.
Several reptilian/crocodilian dinos exist. There's a prolonged chase scene where a t-rex stalks people by swimming through a river, behaving like a crocodile.
Yes, two of the kids hyperventilate and appear to have panic attacks while another character talks them through it. It is mostly in the background while other characters are speaking.
This movie takes place on open ocean and also on an island with rivers, lakes, etc. Lots of natural bodies of water in this one, including a murky/stagnant lake.
Lots of classic Jurassic Park jumpscares. Very often with audio sting but sometimes it's just visual (dino in background unseen by character in foreground)
Opening: when the laboratory goes into lockdown there are red lights gradually flashing and later the logo appears with a flickery red background. Subsequent scene in daytime New York City features multiple emergency vehicles with flashing lights.
Only night scene at sea has distant lightning storm flashing in the clouds.
Nothing flashing for middle part of film.
Third act gets flashy in parts.
Gas station: when the building lights suddenly turn on there’s quite a bit of flickering off and on again, the same happens with the ceiling lights inside the abandoned laboratory when it’s discovered. Inside the convenience store the refrigerator lightbulbs are constantly flickering. On two occasions a pistol is shot with muzzle flashes. Later there is a massive prolonged explosion.
At the docks: the red flare creates lots of sparks in close up which have a flickery effect on the image. Rapidly spinning yellow siren light visible in some shots.
No. It’s implied that Xavier has an inferiority complex from experiencing racism, though, but racism is condemned. No hate speech is present in the film.
A woman is hiding from a dinosaur underneath a car and it suddenly pulls forward where it looks like it might crunch a limb, but she is completely unharmed.
In at least two scenes, a large dinosaur is hidden by either smoke or fog until moments before it attacks. There is smoke from a boat's overheated engine and from signal flares.
