Themes: Ethics, Ecology, and Capitalism Dominion returns to the franchise’s foundational ethical questions: who has the right to resurrect extinct life, and what responsibilities accompany that power? The film expands the inquiry beyond individual hubris to systems of profit and control. Corporate entities and black-market scientists seek to weaponize or monetise dinosaur biology, which turns the moral debate into a critique of late-stage capitalism—where even life itself becomes a tradable asset. This critique resonates strongly in an era of CRISPR and synthetic biology; the film’s speculative threats echo genuine anxieties about gene drives, ecological disruption, and corporate patents on living organisms.
