Jurassic World Rebirth Looks To Undo The Plot of Dominion

One of the most notable details about theJurassic World: Rebirthplot synopsis is the idea of the dinosaurs no longer being out on the mainland interacting with humans. Instead, they are forced into isolated environments, whichundoes the major status quo changeJurassic World: Fallen Kingdomhinted at andJurassic World: Dominionfailed to deliver on.

After almost 30 years,Dominionlooked to moveJurassic Parkout of the island and into human civilization to show how the world adjusted. Instead, it went back to an isolated park. Now,Jurassic World: Rebirthlooks to wipe away the exciting premise of dinosaurs interacting with civilization all together and return the franchise to the “isolated island filled with dinosaurs” formula.
