Jurassic World Dominion

2022

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.

Ages 13+Source checked

Why this age? PG-13 action violence and sustained creature peril include deaths, kidnapping, crashes, fire, frightening attacks, and intense suspense. The science-conspiracy plot also requires some emotional and narrative maturity. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

The franchise is heavily associated with merchandising, though the film itself does not excessively focus on product placement.

Death of a character3/5
Why this rating?

A villain is killed by dinosaurs, and the story references deceased characters and fatal disease; deaths are part of the danger but not the sole focus.
