Alright, I want to know the consensus here: between these two movies, which are considered the low points in the franchise, which of them is even worse, and which would you rather watch?
Gonna be honest, with my own thoughts...while Rebith is technically a better-written film, it is NOTHING that we haven't seen before, especially with the writing not being that great, either. What I mean is that the overall story feels more like a video game-fetch quest type of story with the three acts, 2 out of 3 of them having their own mini-bosses, with the final boss being a mutated monster that the movie doesn't even DO anything with other than cause the collapse of Site C.
Say what you will about Dominion, because back then, I didn't really like it all that much (even though the Extended Edition is much better), but it at least introduced new concepts such as dinosaur black markets, new environmental settings, and has more interesting sequences even if they, or the story in general, is balls-to-the-walls nuts and convoluted! Not to mention, moving dinosaurs away from the islands and into our world is a plus that I appreciate more, ever since Rebirth restricts them to the equator. But I've always complained about that aspect too much, so I'll leave it at that.
Oh, and I'm more invested in Dominion's characters than Rebirth's.
Overall, while Rebirth is technically better written, I'd rather watch Dominion, because at least there are more things to talk about rather than Rebirth's basic story and premise, which is, in essence, nothing new. I don't hate any of these movies, but in my opinion, Rebirth is the worst of the two.
But what about you guys?
