Jurassic World: Rebirth โ A Visually Fun but Disappointingly Lazy Sequel
Jurassic World: Rebirth is the kind of film that tries hard to be entertaining โ and to some extent, it is. The visuals are impressive, the dinosaur effects still hold up, and there are enough intense moments to keep you from walking away. But once you look beyond the surface, the flaws become too obvious to ignore.
The core plot โ an expedition to find a rare cure for heart disease (and of course, make a fortune) โ feels painfully generic and lazy. We've seen this kind of "greedy-scientist-goes-on-expedition" storyline far too many times. There's nothing fresh or surprising about it, and the stakes never feel real because the characters are so flat and the writing is so predictable.
The addition of two mutated dinosaurs was hyped up but ultimately wasted. They appear for a few minutes, act like aggressive monsters, and then vanish from relevance. It feels like they were added just for trailer bait โ not because they mattered to the story. The D-Rex, in particular, is set up to be this terrifying alpha predator early in the movie, but by the end, it's just a dumb creature chasing after flares like a confused dog. It had the potential to be a real threat, but its behavior and defeat were just underwhelming.
Jurassic World: Rebirth isnโt unwatchable โ itโs a decent ride if you're in the mood for some dino-action and donโt care much about logic or originality. But if you're expecting a story that respects the intelligence of its audience or lives up to the legacy of the original Jurassic Park, you'll likely walk away disappointed.
