THE PREMISE
The film is set four years after the events of Fallen Kingdom, with dinosaurs now living alongside humans around the world. It follows Owen Grady and Claire Dearing as they embark on a rescue mission, while Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler reunite with Ian Malcolm to expose a conspiracy by the genomics corporation Biosyn, a once rival of the defunct InGen.
THE REST OF THE WORLD WAITS.
While it is great news for the fans of the franchise in the United States and Canada, it isn’t such good news for the rest of the world. As of yet, there have been no announcements on when the film will be released to buy in their countries or if the extended version will be made available to them also. Usually, Universal does release the same versions around the world, so one must assume that those of us outside of the U.S will get to see the extended version of the film. We eagerly await the news of the release date for the film in our respective countries.
‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ will roar into homes on August 16th. If you would like to preorder your copy of the film on Blu-Ray, you can do so here.
