Film Review - Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

Jurassic World Rebirth is the newest in the Jurassic World series and Scarlett Johansson is the lead this time as Zora who agrees to go with an expedition led by Duncan (Mahershala Ali) to an island near the equator where Dinosaurs are still said to be roaming after dying off in other parts of the world to extract some of their blood for medical research but the journey will not be an easy one and joining them is Dr Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey)

Jurassic World Rebirth is better than both Jurassic World Dominion and Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom but that’s not really saying much I’m afraid as this movie is pretty meh and while that means it isn’t terrible it also means it isn’t that good either.

The main problem with the movie is that its dull to sit through, the characters go to an island with Dinosaurs, see Dinosaurs and marvel at them and then run away from said Dinosaurs hoping to get off the island and after seven movies of this its getting pretty tiresome and after this movie it is high time Universal Pictures put the Dinosaurs into hibernation for a good long rest.

The best thing about this movie is Scarlett Johansson who is clearly having a great time in this movie and is very good as the lead of the film, Mahershala Ali however isn’t as good and his role of the boat captain feels like a waste of his talents, Jonathan Bailey fresh from Wicked is okay here but he feels like a nicer version of the uh Jeff Goldblum character from uh the first Jurassic Park film.

There’s also a side plot with a family on a boat trip that also gets stuck on Dinosaur Island and every time the movie goes back to them I wanted them to piss off as it always felt like they got in the way of the main storyline which was all we needed.

And so that was Jurassic World Rebirth and look its fine but honestly stay home and watch the original Jurassic Park instead and don’t bother with this one, 2 out of 5.
