Film review: Jurassic World Dominion isn’t so much a movie as a theme park ride

It's good if you’re a fan of prehistoric creatures wreaking havoc, but less so if you prefer your films to have cohesive plots and well-rounded characters

★★★☆☆

To produce a mighty book, Herman Melville once wrote, you must choose a mighty theme. Ecological disaster and the extinction of the human race provide the theme of Jurassic World Dominion (12A), but where Melville had to make do with a single great white whale, director Colin Trevorrow gets to play with all manner of mighty monsters: the T-Rex, the Allosaurus and the Giganotosaurus, to mention but a few.
