Part 5/12:
There is concern over how studios continue to bank on nostalgia and spectacle despite diminishing returns. One critic points out that even when a film like Dominion attempts to close the loop with a happy ending of dinosaurs living in harmony, it is immediately undercut by subsequent entries that revert to chaos and destruction. This cycle points to a deep cynicism—profits seem to matter more than quality or storytelling.
The recurring theme: audiences are just fatigued. The franchise's attempt to keep dinosaurs as awe-inspiring creatures fails as viewers grow numb from overexposure and repetitive narratives. Ironically, Jurassic World has become the Fast & Furious of dinosaur movies—more a formulaic cash grab than a meaningful addition to film history.
