The new Jurassic World movie Dominion<\/a> has finally arrived, with the film set to reunite old and new cast members and tie up the dino-tastic film series after six films spanning almost 30 years.<\/p>\n

But how does it all end, and what was actually happening in those crucial final scenes? Well, we\u2019ve broken them down for you \u2013 with a little help from cast members Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, alongside director Colin Trevorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can expect a kind of delightful delicious wrapping up and a satisfying conclusion to the stories that involve the Park characters and the World characters and some new brilliant characters,\u201d Jeff Goldblum told RadioTimes.com.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAll in a logical organic and, and nourishing and nutritious way and a wildly entertaining way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a culmination of two stories coming together,\u201d added Laura Dern.<\/p>\n

With that, let\u2019s dive in \u2013 but remember, we\u2019re dealing with spoilers from now on, so look away if you haven\u2019t seen the film.<\/p>

Basically, there are two crucial points to know. The first is that BioSyn has created massive genetically engineered locusts that are chewing up crops around the world \u2013 though only belonging to those who haven\u2019t bought BioSyn fertiliser. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and Alan Grant (Sam Neill) rocked up to the BioSyn compound in the Dolomites to investigate this, with the help of their old friend Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) who is employed there.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, BioSyn (and shady boss Lewis Dodgson<\/a>, played by Campbell Scott) have also abducted human clone Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) and Blue\u2019s raptor baby Beta (as herself), seeking to unlock the mysteries of their DNA. Jurassic World returnees Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Clare Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) also head to the Dolomites seeking to rescue them both.<\/p>\n

\u201cBioSyn as an entity felt like an important thing to define,\u201d director Trevorrow told us. \u201cAnd this movie gave us that opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we also didn\u2019t want to make it an evil corporation. Because I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a real thing. I think corporations are made up of people who work for somebody who is making decisions very high up. And so to make that guy, someone who feels like a betrayal to the values of all the young people working in the company felt like something a lot of us are feeling now and we could connect to.\u201d<\/p>\n

This facility is chock full of dinosaurs, who obviously get loose in classic Jurassic World fashion, and hilarity ensues. Eventually, both groups come together (alongside new characters called Kayla and Ramsay, played by DeWanda Wise and Mamodou Athie). Dodging various dinos and keeping hold of the crucial evidence, the gang have to stop the locusts, free the captives and survive the dinosaurs.<\/p>\n

What happens to the locusts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s revealed during the film that the locusts weren\u2019t supposed to go so wide, and are breeding unchecked \u2013 returning scientist Dr Wu (BD Wong) claims that Maisie\u2019s clone DNA is the key to stopping them, as he can introduce a DNA sequence that will stop them breeding (or something) and have them die out pretty soon.<\/p>\n

Later on, we see him doing this, so presumably, he cracked it after our heroes helped him escape the BioSyn complex.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s a sense that this is a movie about dinosaurs and humans battling for dominance on the planet, and only one can win. And you know, it sounds cool. But when you actually think about how what that actually means, it doesn\u2019t really feel real,\u201d Trevorrow told us of the locust subplot.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so I think that we\u2019ve, we\u2019ve made a movie that is hopefully richer and more thoughtful and approaches things in a way that maybe people won\u2019t expect. But once they realise what we\u2019re after, hopefully, they\u2019ll accept it as part of our whole trilogy.\u201d<\/p>\n

After escaping various deadly dinos, the team eventually managed to transfer power around to allow their escape, complete with Maisie, Beta, plenty of evidence of BioSyn\u2019s sketchy dealings and a cure for the nasty locusts (also, there\u2019s a big battle between the classic T-Rex and some other big Alpha dinosaurs, because there has to be at the end of one of these films).<\/p>\n

In doing all this, however, they shut off power to BioSyn\u2019s transport tube-monorail system, trapping bad-guy CEO Lewis Dodgson (who fans may remember as a character in the original 1993 Jurassic World, played by a different actor) with a bunch of frill-necked dinosaurs who look an awful lot like the Dilophosaurus who killed Wayne Knight\u2019s Nedry in the original Jurassic Park.<\/p>\n

Given that Dodgson originally hired Nedry to steal JP\u2019s genetic material, it\u2019s a fairly poetic end for a villain who\u2019s technically been part of the whole shebang from the beginning.<\/p>\n

Things end better for other characters. Owen, Clare and Maisie are able to return to their normal life, less worried about Maisie being kidnapped, Alan and Ellie decide to give their relationship another go (after their eyes locked across a swarm of horrible locusts earlier in the film) and Beta is released back into the wild with Blue, because who wouldn\u2019t want more velociraptors running wild in open areas?<\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s implied that Ellie and Alan continue to speak out about the misuse of genetic materials, their activism just getting started.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that her story ends with the beginning of her activism and her determination to make a difference on a global scale,\u201d Dern told RadioTimes.com.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo she\u2019ll keep going. Ellie Sattler\u2019s in the world to do great things. And so I\u2019m very proud to play her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jurassic World: Dominion\u2019s last scenes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The film concludes with a montage of dinosaurs living peacefully alongside \u201cnormal\u201d animals \u2013 horses running alongside dinosaurs, geese flying with pterosaurs, Triceratops-es with elephants, a sea creature with some whales \u2013 helpfully cutting away before they presumably start ripping all the mammals to shreds for their lunch.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s Jurassic World: Dominion!<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to tell the end of this story we\u2019ve been telling and of the larger story that Steven [Spielberg] started telling a long time ago,\u201d director Colin Trevorrow told RadioTimes.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>I hope this film gives people a sense that their favourite characters are safe and well, that you know, the dinosaurs have found a place of peace and found home. Maybe that\u2019ll make them feel a little bit hopeful.\u201d<\/p>\n
