A Play in Three Acts
Me, one week ago:
Well, I saw Jurassic World Dominion and it was fine. Guess I don’t have to think about it anymore!
Me, an hour ago:
I’m not doing it. I’m not suiting up to defend the least-worst Chris Pratt dinosaur movie. It doesn’t matter that people are complaining about there not being enough dinosaurs in a movie where there is literally a dinosaur every 5 minutes and at least one of them has knives for hands. Nope. Nope. Choosing joy. Not doing it. Not doing it.
Me, now:
Welcome to my TED Talk.
Look, I come not to bury Jurassic World: Dominion but to… praise it? Is it absolutely too long? Yes. Is it self-indulgent? Whoo boy. It’s the least-worst of the Jurassic World trilogy but it’s still a bad movie. Compels me, though.
