This Review Reveals Minor Details About the Plot.
Jurassic Reunion
Plot Overview
After the human intervention of reversing extinction, beasties on
land, sea and air, which are too big for their britches have migrated
worldwide aided by a vigorous black market. Biosyn Genetics has
exclusive rights to a sanctuary where they are studied scientifically.
When a suspicious breed of giant locust starts devouring farmlands
but leaving Biosyn seeded crops untouched, paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) finagles
an invite to their facility where she brings along a colleague
paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam
Neill) to surreptitiously collect a DNA sample. They are aided
by communications director Ramsay Cole (Mamoudou Athie) who thinks
something fishy is going on at the plant where he works. Geneticist
Dr. Henry Wu (B.D. Wong) is on his
own hatching a plan to infect the bugs with an altered virus to destroy
them. Biosyn CEO
Lewis Dodgson (Campbell Scott) is just interested in his bottom line,
world famine be damned. He instigated the kidnapping for research
of cloned teenage Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) who is actually
a product of parthenogenesis. Maisie's de facto “parents”
ethologist Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and former operations manager
of Jurassic World Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) search for
her through a Maltese souk from which on a tip they hitch a ride with
a sympathetic pilot 
Kayla Watts (DeWanda Wise) to go where the action is—all
roads leading to Rome as it were. Chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) seems about
to join the good guys as well.
We suppose that the desired happy ending is elimination of the giant insect infestation while humans, animals and vegetables all learn to live in harmony after the introduction into the biosphere of erstwhile extinct species. Editorial leaps enable that to occur within the 2½ hour framework of this movie but were unable to save Bambi as a food source.
Ideology
One of Kenny Rogers's songs concerned
a chance meeting with “The Gambler” on a train, who offered
the passenger the advice that “the secret to surviving is knowing
what to throw away and knowing what to keep.” The refrain of
the song goes:
You've got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, Know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
This wisdom of the gambling man's repartee is old as the hills and was passed on by a raconteur, Agur in Proverbs 30:1, whose four metaphors offered the same life advice as did Rogers's Gambler. That we find in, (Prov. 30:29-31) “There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going: A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.”
We have Agur's “lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any,” and we have Rogers's “know[ing] when to hold 'em.” In our movie those locusts are toast once Ellie and Alan get their DNA sample and Dr. Wu develops the virus to kill them.
We have Agur's “king, against whom there is no rising up,” and we have Rogers's “Know[ing] when to fold 'em” A king who knows when to give in to his subjects doesn't experience any uprising. Humans for the most part have adopted a live-and-let-live policy towards the once extinct animals with whom they now share the planet.
We have Agur's “he goat also” and we have Rogers's
“Know[ing] when to walk away.” Without any explanation
Ellie tells Alan that “it's over” between her and Mark,
which opens romantic possibilities between the two of them in some
future—saints preserve us—sequel. 
I'll use an example
from Icelandic author Arnaldur Indridason:
After all their problems Bergthóra had been the one to end their relationship. It was over, they were going their separate ways and now he did not know what to think. He regretted losing Bergthóra. At last it had come home to him—
‘It's over.’
‘Hasn't it been over for ages? And you're taking it badly?’
‘I am, actually.’
‘You'll find someone else. Was it her who broke it off in the end?’
‘Yes, she's started a new relationship.’
‘Typical,’ said Gagga.
‘What do you mean?’
She doesn't hang about.’ (241, 245)
Sequels await.
We have Agur's “greyhound” and Rogers's “Know[ing] when to run.” The money scenes are those of being chased on motorbike by dinosaurs through the streets of Malta.
The gambler gave the advice:
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
It ain't over till the fat lady sings. Who knows where evolution will lead?
Production Values
“” (2022) was directed by Colin Trevorrow. Its screenplay was written by Emily Carmichael and Colin Trevorrow based on a story by Derek Connolly. It stars Chris Pratt, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Mamoudou Athie, and Laura Dern. The cast is an ensemble of familiar faces looking long in the tooth. They handled the new material well. The teenager was great. The cast included a blackamoor and an African-American whose parts were a credit to their race.
MPAA rated it PG–13 for intense sequences of action, some violence and language. It has a runtime of 2½ hours. The dinosaurs and special effects were unparalleled.
Review Conclusion w/a Christian's Recommendation
This one is either a sight for sore eyes or the same old same old
depending on how burnt out you are on the franchise. The world dominion
sorts itself out into the following hierarchy: At the bottom are the
black, hybrid locusts slated for destruction. Above them are brown-furred
deer cultivated as a food source. Above them are small dinosaurs running
with domestic size animals. Above them are the larger ones roaming
Africa. Then come the paleontologist's wet dream confined
to a reservation. Having kindly dominion over them all is the white
man in league with an oriental and aided by the brown or black man.
And a non-traditional family is stuck in there somewhere. So
there you have it in a nutshell.
