Jurassic World Rebirth - Reviews

Jurassic World Rebirth‘s attempt at rejuvenating its franchise mirrors the vitality of its once-extinct reptiles: This movie may have breathed life back where once it was thought lost, but this life is not pure or sustainable.

...joins a pile of average sequels to a phenomenal, groundbreaking original.

...puts a wobbly franchise back on track with superb installment.

...the final stretch is truly nail-biting and put together with the kind of panache we expect from Edwards.

Scarlett Johansson is thunderously good in the new dino movie – which boasts several expertly orchestrated set pieces.

...a brighter, breezier, funnier, incomparably better acted and better written film, with unashamed nods to the summer smashes of yesteryear, that makes sense of the dino-spectacle moments that earn their place.

...one of the more successful and satisfying entries in the franchise precisely because it, uh, finds a way to keep Loomis’ mantra close, foregrounding the film’s sense of wonder above a mere blatant cash grab.

...is a good time, but perhaps we need new ideas, new hybrids.

...hatches a fun pulp adventure that almost breaks free from the Jurassic World shell.

Just this once, why not turn off those highly-honed critical faculties and lose yourself in a big, blousy, old-fashioned monster movie directed with flair and filled with genuine old school thrills ’n’ spills?

...deliver some excellent set pieces to make it worth your time.

The inherent limits of the "Jurassic" IP are as glaring as ever.
