The Jurassic World Dominion trailer promises to answer a question Alan Grant posed in the first Jurassic Park movie. The main theme of the Jurassic Park franchise has always centered on the human obsession to toy with nature. Regardless of how perfect scientific advancements can become, their quality can't guarantee an appropriate usage by human beings. InGen's experiments epitomize this problem, as in every Jurassic Park installment, including the animated TV show Camp Cretaceous, the human characters are the ones who suffer the disastrous consequences of genetic meddling. Dr. Alan Grant knew this from the very beginning.
Despite the tragic precedent of the original Jurassic Park, human beings continued to want bigger and tougher dinosaurs. By the events of Jurassic World Dominion, dinosaurs not only proved themselves to be more than a theme park attraction but also a threat to all humankind. With the animals free to roam the Earth, there will be a need to fight for superiority. This climactic confrontation will be a bookend to an ominous warning stated in the original Jurassic Park.
Before things went south in the first Jurassic Park, the well-meaning John Hammond relied on Alan Grant's relevant expertise to alleviate everyone's fears about the dangers of the park. Instead of sugarcoating the situation, Grant illustrated what everyone had in mind: "Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?" Indeed, the first Jurassic Park disaster was a small taste of how utterly doomed humans are when confronted by the forces of nature, but it's Jurassic World Dominion that will truly pit humans and dinosaurs against each other to crown the definitive winner. By having the two species thrown into such a direct global conflict, Grant's biggest fears about the consequences of the initial Jurassic Park project have been fully realized.
Jurassic World Dominion will do justice to the name of the Jurassic World sequel trilogy, given that the whole planet is at stake. Indeed, 65 million years of evolution allowed humans to spread to every corner of the world, but they also stripped human beings of the little feral strength they used to have before settling down in civilizations. 65 million years of evolution have provided humans with marvelous technological advancements and powerful weapons — as well as the resources needed to bring back their potential predators — but it's possible that none of that will be enough to stop the simple brutality of the Giganotosaurus or the T-Rex.
Jurassic World Dominion doesn't seem to feature hybrid dinosaurs, a detail Alan Grant didn't foresee. This shows that humans are no longer in control of how these creatures evolve. Instead, dinosaurs seem to be evolving by themselves at an alarming rate. Species like the Pyroraptor and the Therizinosaurus prove that dinosaurs are experts when it comes to adapting to their environment, as they're catching up to 65 million years of history. Human beings believe that they're special, but dinosaurs are about to show them that they owe their dominance to sheer number and luck. With such a strong competitor, human beings can easily lose their ground. Perhaps Dr. Alan Grant actually knew what to expect from this battle, but he knew it was too grim to acknowledge.
