Jurassic World Rebirth

"Jurassic World Rebirth" proves, yet again, how fossilised this franchise has become. The ossification of fresh ideas is glaring, with a tedious, formulaic story, a lack of narrative depth and equally shallow characterisations.Expositions competently done but in isolation, that's not saying much. In short, this is a superficially polished but nonetheless lazy effort, that adds nothing of va...

Eh, sure better than the last couple outings but also pretty forgettable. Nice everyone involved, including Scarlett Johansson, director Gareth Edwards and the screenwriter David Koepp, got a paycheck but can't say I'll remember this one come next week. Most positive thing I have to say is it doesn't overstay its welcome as it is under two hours when you take out the credits. **2.75/5**

Sometimes movies have a way of surprising us in unexpectedly pleasant ways. And this latest installment in the “Jurassic” franchise is just such a case. Admittedly, I had more than a few reservations going into this one; I couldn’t help but think that this was a cinematic commodity that had run its course, that it was essentially out of gas to offer anything new of genuine value, and, to a certain...

Well at least there is one scene where huge great dinosaurs walk, accompanied by John Williams’s original theme, to remember - but otherwise this is a really disappointing video-game of a film that offers us nothing at all that the Jurassic franchise hasn’t already. By now, these great creatures have largely been taken care of by Mother Nature and have been reduced to living in small groups in equ...

17 years ago, a group of scientists got the bright idea to mutate dinosaurs. One of those mutations was a Distortus Rex, a Tyrannosaur mutation, also known as the D-Rex. Thanks to a Snickers wrapper, the D-Rex escapes, causing the facility to be shut down. In the present day, five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion, dinosaurs are dying out and can no longer survive Earth’s envir...

🌟 8/10 – A Thrilling Ride, But Lacking Depth Jurassic World delivers on the action and spectacle, with thrilling dinosaur chases and jaw-dropping visuals that keep you on the edge of your seat. However, it feels more like a reboot than a reinvention, relying heavily on nostalgia and familiar tropes. The plot lacks the depth and intrigue of the original Jurassic Park, and some character arcs fe...

“Jurassic World Rebirth” swings the franchise back to where it all started, both literally and thematically. Leaning hard into nostalgia, director Gareth Edwards peppers his film with sequences that mirror the most memorable moments from the original “Jurassic Park” so closely you can practically hear the 1993 film reel whirring in the background. But instead of feeling like a cheap rehash, these ...

"My review for Jurassic World: Rebirth is ultimately one of disappointment. While the visual effects were commendable and the soundtrack was decent, the film's greatest weakness was its painfully predictable plot; a young child could have easily foreseen most of its developments. In my view, numerous events held the potential for surprising and engaging twists but were instead executed without any...

I do enjoy the interaction between our characters and the dinosaurs, and it's quite fun to watch the drama unfold. I will admit, though, I do enjoy the commradarie and levity in the face of unknown danger and terrifying situations. The Jurassic Universe still knows how to engage you with having emotions for the characters, as the many horrorific events are unfolding.

**_More of the same, just with ScarJo and mutated dinos_** Shot in the summer of 2024, this is the seventh film in the Jurassic Park franchise, which borrows from the iconic first film, but there are also bits reminiscent of the Pteranodon scenes in “Jurassic Park III.” While the Quetzalcoatlus is similar to the Pteranodon in that third part, its wingspan is twice as long, and the creature is o...

What a huge missed opportunity. It’s well known that Hollywood denizens are generally not the sharpest knifes around but it is still a disappointment when they give a fairly high budget movie, and a well known franchise as well, to some low IQ writer hack that just ruins it. The dinosaurs and special effects related to the dinosaurs were actually quite good. I liked the visual aspects of the mo...

"Jurassic World: Rebirth" looks absolutely astonishing. The locations are amazing, the photography is luscious throughout, and it is an ideal slice of exhilarating entertainment which is effortlessly diverting. It borrows like crazy from various other films - it actually begins to resemble a 50th anniversary tribute to "Jaws" (1975) at one point (and yes, they definitely do need a bigger boat this...

Well the start of the movies was better than the last one! But yikes, relying on the graphics again the story was sadly lacking and to have 2 families that had nothing to do with each other was just another example of how writers have lost the plot in Hollywood lately. The previous movie at least tied the two groups together quiet well having the old and new people relating to the story even thoug...
