Jurassic World Dominion
The epic conclusion of the Jurassic era.
Four years after Isla Nublar was destroyed, dinosaurs now live—and hunt—alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history's most fearsome creatures.

It’s all right.
The movie was all right. I was not entirely impressed by it. Imagine all three Jurassic park and two Jurassic world movies crammed into one movie. The elements in this movie is nothing new. It’s great to see the original cast come back, but other than that, it was meh. The only woke stuff I could think about from this movie is diversity. But it’s very minor.

Very VERY woke
Here's your warning Jurassic World was a SJW dumpster fire. Whomever wrote and directed this really wanted to shove as many diversity sjw woke ideological beliefs into that snore fest. I saw people exiting earlier showings mid film and also in my own showing. Belittling Whites in the movie as well.

Not Woke
Jurassic World: Dominion was a great movie for what it was. It stuck to the script you knew it would have, delivered on the action and CGI / VFX that the franchise is known for and brought a nostalgic ensemble of casting back into the franchise. The story was a little bland and a bit Copy/Paste but had a good overall story involving dinosaurs and man's inability to control all aspects of creation. The movie in no way struck me as "woke". There was no forced ideological pandering and / or indoctrination present.

They should have stopped with the Spielberg one
This franchise is so dead. At least the Michael Crichton book was grounded in somewhat fathomable science. This is not only so outlandish there’s no enjoyable elements, but yes, it’s Woke AF.
Politics, checkbox diversity casting, LGBTPedo characters. Skip, skip, skip. It was a waste of my time.

Wasn't Like the Other Jurassic Worlds, Still Entertaining
This wasn't woke at all. Why are people calling it woke?
Dominion was a pretty good movie, it felt a little desultory and falling apart at times, but the ending reeled it back in. Some of the dialogue was a little clunky, kind of like they were just waiting around for the dinosaurs to attack them.
It was kind of unsatisfying though. It didn't deliver what you would expect from Jurassic world.

"We seek peaceful coexistence!" -brain slug / Lt. Cmdr. Remmick
"Jurassic World Domination" is packed with action and nostalgia but little else. I can't help it... I enjoyed it! It is James Bond, but with dinosaurs. Woke aspects are sometimes subtle. Because of the disagreements between previous reviewers, I will go into details.
SPOILERS FOLLOW
Here are the woke aspects:
Evil "Steve Jobs": He is an evil, corporate mogul-nerd. With a little grease he could be Bill Gates. At least he is not bald, but he seems to be the woke trope of "old white man bad". It's not enough for a woke point on its own. It's only in the presence of other wokeness that we can be sure of the intent.
"Neo" black male: He betrays the evil old white male to save the world. His character feels like DEI. The script seems to call itself out when, after being betrayed, the evil CEO cries, "I gave you every opportunity!", i.e., "I gave you Equal Opportunity", i.e., "I gave you a chance you didn't deserve, because you're black... And this is how you repay me?!"
"Neo #2" old Asian male: Much the same as the black male, he betrays "evil Steve Jobs" in an attempt to redeem himself and save the world.
Jeff Goldblum: His character is the final person to bite the hand of the evil, old, white male that feeds him. Padme: "But at least he's not a minority, right? RIGHT?!" He is Jewish. (Plot twist: so is Natalie Portman.)
Parthenogenesis: This is the ability of a female to asexually reproduce. This is known to occur in komodo dragons and several other vertebrates. Many lesbian-feminists would love to self-reproduce without icky male sperm. Dominion seems to imply the girl is created that way by her mother, although Fallen Kingdom (which I did not see) established that she is a clone. They were trying to draw a similarity between her and Beta/Blue and wound up creating confusion. Or not? Based on a hint in the dialog, I predict that her mother gave her monitor lizard DNA so she would be able to reproduce via parthenogenisis. We'll see in next film. In any case, we're in dangerous territory.
Coexist: The theme has shifted to a hippy-dippy "coexist". We must learn to live alongside the extremely dangerous dinosaurs that are being illegally smuggled into our country and then multiplying exponentially. Sound familiar? The dialog is explicit about this "coexist" message in the ending.
"Indiana Jones" black woman: I found her agitating. Her acting screams that she is there for DEI. If you are not bothered by the personality of this character, I can understand, but you have to admit her role in the plot is clunky. The actress played a similar role in the Apple series "Invasion", but as a cop. In both, she is a very strong-willed woman who initially tries to ignore the plight of a victim before switching sides to help due to a sense of right and wrong, compassion, and a desire to save the world.
However, Chris Pratt's strong male character helps offset black female Indiana Jones. Another counter-balance is the lovely Bryce Dallas Howard, whose character is feminine and timid, except in her will to get back her kidnapped adopted child. If Bryce had acted like her character in "Argylle" and karate-chopped her way past dinosaurs, my woke meter would have red-lined.
In summary, if you put on your "They Live" sunglasses, the themes here are "Minorities: rise up against your evil, white male CEO masters", "women: reproduce without males", and "everyone: coexist with invaders". This is open for debate, so I am cool with the above woke scores from 0 to 5.
It's worth a watch. Just don't forget to wear your "They Live" sunglasses.
