What I could never achieve Jurassic World: Dominion (2022), the sixth feature film that the saga based on a novel by Michael Crichton (1990) has left us, is to return to the feeling of absolute wonder with which the first, by Steven Spielberg (1993), could give us. The one experienced by the protagonists of that time when they saw Living dinosaurs on Isla Nublarand ours at the same time, with the remembered John Williams soundtrack in our ears.
the unforgettable Jurassic Park tells us that the InGen team of genetic scientists under the command of billionaire John Hammond, played by Richard Attenborough, has managed to clone such fascinating prehistoric beings from the blood of these found in mosquitoes that have been preserved in amber. And, to show humanity his success in this incredible, and very dangerous, undertaking, he decides to establish An amusement park on said island.
However, during The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), the only sequel shot by Steven Spielberg in his entire film career, in addition to the three that focus again on Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones (1984-2008) after in search of the lost ark (1981), according to another novel by Michael Crichton (1995), we discover that there is another island with dinosaurs, the call Sarcasmwhich was used hatchery released for species exposed later in Nublar.
The dinosaurs of the Nublar and Sorna islands
Both one and the other fictitious island are located in the Costa Rican maritime territory; and yes in Jurassic Park 3directed by Joe Johnston (2001), returns to the breeding space, which InGen abandoned due to financial problems and which would later be taken over by Irrfan Khan’s Simon Masrani company, in Jurassic Worldmade by Colin Trevorrow (2015) as the last part, they present us with another theme park on Isla Nublar that is going to take wind.
But maybe there wasn’t at that time no dinosaur in Sorna. Dr. Henry Wu’s team of BD Wongat the forefront of de-extinction efforts with John Hammond and, later, with Masrani Global Corporation and Lewis Dodgson’s BioSyn, played by Campbell Scott, decided to leave in 1999 for fear of being arrested due to systematic rape of the Genetic Guard Law of the United States, in force between 1997 and 2003.
The Jurassic overpopulation on the island wreaked havoc on its ecosystem and a great mortality of dinosaurs, so the company moved them to Nublar, whose amusement park would have been operating since 2005. However, it refuses to allow them to be relocated to Sorna to avoid its re-extinction by the volcanic eruption in Nublar de Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018). So perhaps there are still bicharracos of these in Sorna, which is irrelevant for what happens.
There aren’t that many species of dinosaurs in ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’
Benjamin Lockwood, the ex-partner of John Hammond played by James Cromwell, wants to save the dinosaurs from the catastrophe in a new sanctuary. But his assistant, Rafe Spall’s perfidious Eli Mills, arranges for the rescued to end up on his boss’s big California estate and be sold on the black market. And the fray over the intervention of the Claire Dearing and the Owen Grady of Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt ends with the animals escaping.
If one sees the progress of Jurassic World: Dominion and think that they have now spread throughout the world, it may seem that there are too many of these wonderful reptiles compared to those in the California facility, rescued from Isla Nublar. But really it’s not so. Is about twelve different species, with the mososaur that goes out to the open sea in the first sequence of the film by JA Bayona and that they have been reproducing during the last years.
In addition, we know that in Sorna there were frequent poaching raids of exotic animals with the same primary interest as Eli Mills, for whom the illegal sale of extinct dinosaurs was a way to finance research to produce other tools for the war industry. So it is easy that more species are strolling through this new Jurassic planet. And the origin of the rest is in Henry Wu’s standard procedures for BioSyn.
