Jurassic World Rebirth Reviews: Stunning VFX, But Lacks Depth? | Scarlett Johansson’s Dino Adventure

Jurassic World Rebirth Reviews: Jurassic World Rebirth is the most awaited movie of the year. The new film arrives with a lot of expectations as it happens to be one of the most beloved film franchises all across the world. The first critics of the Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey-led have come in and unfortunately, they are not trilling with an enthusiastic applause!

The movie has received a 54 rating in the aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes based on 98 reviews. The Hollywood Reporter was a mixed review by David Rooney, noting, “There are some mighty new monsters on the prowl, but this is primarily an assembly of recycled story beats.”

Critic Nick Schager wrote in The Daily Beast that the characters are poorly developed, with Jurassic World Rebirth being completely lacking personality, with Johansson forced to perform an underwritten role as a covert operative whose selfishness shifts rapidly and too abruptly to selflessness, and Ali being doomed to play a featureless part quite beneath him and most of the time relegated to the sidelines.

Slow plot was observed in most reviews, as it spends time to establish itself and it continues to refer to the original movie. Sidhant Adlakha of Inverse wrote, “From the moment everyone reaches the central island, the filmmaking on display is just plain bad. Moments of horror, action, and awe are cut together without nearly enough consideration of rhythm or emotional impact.”

Peter Debruge of Variety pointed out, “The movie offers an updated version of the same basic ride Spielberg offered 32 years earlier, and yet, it hardly feels essential to the series’ overall mythology, nor does it signal where the franchise could be headed.”

However, special effects in the movie were unanimously acclaimed. “One of the best set pieces this time is a river encounter with a sleeping T-Rex awakened to wreak havoc came from Crichton’s novel but not feasible to film in 1993. It clearly was now, judging from the results, as modern technology has caught up to it so we get a nice T-Rex cameo as a big bonus. And let’s face it, as in every Jurassic pic, the real stars we come for are the dinos, and this current bunch are dino-myte (sorry, so sorry). Credit the effects wizards who worked overtime to deliver, and they do,” wrote Deadline's Pete Hammond.

Aaron Neuwirth of We Live Entertainment wrote, “Jurassic World Rebirth does a fine job of having these mega beasts register as true forces of nature that happen to be contending with tiny humans. Smart choices are made as far as which dinosaurs receive a lot of attention, which includes being the first Jurassic movie to deemphasise raptors for a change, as well as only giving so much time to the most notable mutant that arrives later in the film, following a brief introduction at the top.”

Directed by Gareth Edwards and screenplay by David Koepp, Jurassic World Rebirth will be available in the cinemas on July 2.
