More than three decades after Jurassic Park (1993) transformed the cinematic landscape, Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) attempts to breathe new life into a franchise that has long been running on nostalgia and visual spectacle. Following the critical disappointment of Dominion (2022), this instalment sets out to recalibrate, both thematically and tonally. Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film introduces a mostly standalone storyline—one that positions itself as a reset rather than a continuation. At its centre is a high-risk expedition led by Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) to a quarantined research island, where dinosaur DNA is being sought for pharmaceutical development. The stakes are urgent, the setting evocative, but the execution is uneven. This time, the focus shifts from malfunctioning labs and thrill-ride spectacles to the creatures themselves. Dominating every frame are giants like the Mosasaurus circling wreckage at sea, the thunderous Titanosaurus, and the destructive Distortus rex—each sequence crafted for impact and scale that demands to be witnessed on a theatrical canvas.
