It's the EPIC conclusion to the Jurassic Park/World franchise, at least that's what we've been told. Does Colin Trevorrow stick the landing, or do we wish this never happened to begin with? Batman (Jurassic) Shane is here to lend his thoughts on DOMINION as we DIG into (see what we did there?) all that the final film had to offer.
