It'll come as little surprise to most Jurassic Park fans to discover that the much-derided 'Jurassic World: Dominion' comes bottom of the pile by a significant margin - scoring a terrible 29 per cent rating. Laura Dern, Sam Neil and Jeff Goldblum are reunited from the original, joining Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and BD Wong for the dino-wrangling. Set four years after 'Fallen Kingdom', dinosaurs are new living alongside humans. Half the gang embark on a rescue mission, while the others take on an evil plot by a nasty science corporation. Nobody really looks like they have a clue what's going on.
