Rent Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025)

Same Old DNA, Slightly New Footprint - Jurassic World: Rebirth review by griggs

Jurassic World: Rebirth is a film that tries to recapture the magic but mostly ends up chasing its own tail. The dinos look okay, but there is no wow factor, as we’ve seen it all before. There are a couple of fun set pieces, but the plot’s recycled, and the new characters feel like action figures with dialogue. That said, it’s genuinely refreshing to see a Hispanic family take centre stage in today’s climate and become the heroes—even if, at times, they (and their adoptee) come off a bit gimmicky.

There’s the usual corporate greed subplot, the inevitable betrayal, and, of course, someone shouting “run!” a lot. It’s not terrible—just uninspired. If you’re in it for the roars and chases, you’ll be mildly entertained. Just don’t expect a resurrection of wonder

Enjoyable romp of a dino movie - Jurassic World: Rebirth review by Alphaville

If Hollywood cgi movies usually bore you (especially creature and superhero nonsense), try giving this a shot. Despite what some nerdy reviewers say, there are some neat set-pieces here among the boring bits. It opens badly with the main characters regaling us with their back stories, and ends in anti-climax on a night-time indoors set with the usual ‘it’s behind you’ jump scares. The middle hour, though, features some exciting set-pieces in attractive (if cgi) landscapes. The dinosaur river chase and especially the impressively-filmed section involving rock climbing on a huge cliff-face alone make the film well worth a watch.
