JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH – SPOILER FREE REVIEW

Jurassic World Rebirth: Extinct Creativity in a Franchise That Should Rest
A Tired Tale Retold
Once again, dinosaurs stomp onto the big screen, but Jurassic World Rebirth feels less like an evolution and more like a pale imitation. The story offers nothing audiences haven’t already seen—rampaging reptiles, predictable human squabbles, and the same recycled moral warnings about tampering with nature. It’s a formula that once thrilled, but here it feels lazy and uninspired.
Script Extinction Event
The screenplay is, frankly, a disaster zone. Dialogue swings from bland exposition to cringe-worthy one-liners that fall flat. Characters behave less like real people and more like cardboard cutouts shuffled through obligatory plot beats. Any sense of wonder or suspense gets buried under clumsy writing.
Effects: A Mixed Bag
The CGI in Jurassic World Rebirth was certainly polished, delivering impressively detailed dinosaurs and fluid action sequences, but it still can’t quite capture the tangible realism of the practical effects in the original Jurassic Park. The animatronic creatures in Spielberg’s 1993 classic felt convincingly alive because they occupied real space alongside the actors, casting shadows, interacting with their environment, and giving performers something physical to react to. In contrast, the newer film’s digital dinosaurs, no matter how meticulously rendered, often look a touch too glossy or weightless, breaking the illusion just enough to remind you they’re computer-generated. While modern visual effects are undeniably advanced, the visceral impact and authenticity of practical effects remain unmatched.
Dinosaurs Deserve Better
Dinosaurs are an endlessly fascinating concept, and it’s a shame to see them squandered. The film feels like a cheap rehash, lacking ambition or fresh ideas. Rather than reigniting excitement, it only underlines how stale the series has become.
Time to Let the Franchise Fossilise
Ultimately, Jurassic World Rebirth is a boring slog that proves this cinematic era has run its course. The franchise has exhausted every possible permutation of the same premise. Perhaps the best thing the studio could do now is to let these dinosaurs—and the tired formula that drags them down—finally rest.
Overall, Jurassic World Rebirth isn’t just a disappointing sequel—it’s proof that this franchise has lost any creative pulse it once had. What was once a ground-breaking saga about awe and adventure has devolved into a cynical, lazy cash-grab with nothing new to say. It’s a joyless re-tread of stale ideas wrapped in a sloppy script and bland spectacle. If this is the best they can offer, it’s time to put the dinosaurs—and the series—back in the ground where they belong.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
Worth Seeing: Avoid, do not give the studio any more money to make sequels.
