Intro: I'm in my movie era once again and lately I've been trying to catch up with all the films that I missed during last year or saved "for later" and never went back to. So here we are, giving this franchise another chance after its disappointing latest entries. But I was looking for somthing fun and easy and I thought this one could be a good candidate.
Film 2430: "Jurassic World: Rebirth" (2025), Gareth Edwards
Watched: From my computer
Language: English
Watched with: No one
Thoughts: Is it a masterpiece? Surely not. Is it a reboot/sequel that we needed to see? Absolutely not. Is it better than the last outing of the franchise? Well, yes. But is that enough to justify “Jurassic World: Rebirth”’s existence beyond the usual corporate cash grab? Nah.
I’ll be honest: my expectations were so low that I didn’t actually mind watching this movie. That said, not minding it doesn’t mean it’s good. I hated how artificial everything feels (green screen), especially when compared to the original film, which has a tangible, “real” vibe that adds dimension and grounds the story in reality. The cast also feels completely wasted. Scarlett Johansson is a two-time Oscar nominee; Mahershala Ali is a two-time Oscar winner… and this is how their talent is used? They’re given almost nothing to do. Emotionally, there’s just one vaguely “deeper” moment they share on the boat, where they briefly allude to their past and what happened to them. And that’s it — that’s all we get from this duo. The rest is dino fights, sample collecting, and jungle survival. As for the other characters, there isn’t much to say either. The storyline involving the family on the other boat, in particular, felt fairly random.
Additionally, I didn’t particularly like this new mixed-dinosaurs idea: I don’t think it was utilized in a smart or cool way by the story, and the Distortus rex creature is too visually similar to the Alien monster. Honestly, I don’t need crazier dinosaurs — I need a good screenplay.
That said, it’s still nice to see Jonathan Bailey in another big production, and he’s hot as ever here (he actually reminds me of Stephen from the current season of “The Traitors” UK). So… yay for the gay cause?
