6. Where are all the kids?

Stepping away from the plot for a little bit, it’s a damned shame that Jurassic World Dominion brings back so many major adults, but none of the kids. It would have been great to see what Tim and Lex (Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards) from the first two films were doing and how those events impacted their lives. Ditto to Malcolm’s daughter Kelly (Vanessa Chester) from The Lost World. She at least gets indirectly mentioned though, when Malcolm talks about his kids for a second. But that the last two Jurassic movies (Fallen Kingdom and Dominion) forgot what the first four all knew—the kids should be at the center—is a big part of why they both failed.
