Jurassic World: Rebirth Review — A Thrilling Evolution of the Franchise

Life Finds a Way
That iconic line from the original Jurassic Park has echoed through decades of cinematic storytelling, and in Jurassic World: Rebirth, it takes on new and layered meaning.
Just when we thought the prehistoric saga had concluded, the franchise bursts back onto the scene with a fresh heartbeat, smarter science, and high-stakes spectacle.
Proving there’s still plenty of untamed life left in this world.
Directed by visionary filmmaker Gareth Edwards (Rogue One), and penned by Jurassic Park original screenwriter David Koepp, Rebirth takes the franchise into thrilling, dangerous, and emotionally rich new territory.
It’s not just another dinosaur movie — it’s a smart, adrenaline-fueled chapter that both honors and evolves the Jurassic legacy.

The Story
Set five years after the fallout of Dominion, the planet has largely rejected its ancient guests. Dinosaurs now inhabit a few remote tropical zones near the equator, where the ecosystem still favors their survival.
But it’s in this isolation that a game-changing discovery is made. Three specific prehistoric giants — one from land, one from the sea, and one from the skies — carry genetic material that may hold the key to groundbreaking medical advancements.
Enter Zora Bennett, a covert operations expert played with grit and gravitas by Scarlett Johansson, whose quiet intensity commands every frame. She leads an elite extraction team on a top-secret mission to recover the DNA from these primeval giants.
But what begins as a tactical operation quickly unravels into a survival nightmare when they cross paths with a shipwrecked family and stumble upon a forgotten Jurassic Park research facility.
One that holds secrets far more dangerous than any dinosaur.

A Powerhouse Cast
Mahershala Ali is magnetic as Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s closest ally, offering a performance rich in strength and subtlety. Jonathan Bailey, fresh off Bridgerton and Wicked, brings charm and intellectual sharpness as paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis — a voice of reason amidst chaos. Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo round out the cast with layered portrayals that add depth to the film’s tension and ethical quandaries.
But what truly elevates Rebirth isn’t just its star power or cinematic action.
Though both are stellar — it’s the depth of worldbuilding.
The island setting, once an undisclosed research site of the original Jurassic Park, is layered in eerie beauty and haunting secrets.

TL;DR
Subtle nods to the 1993 classic are scattered throughout — one in particular is jaw-dropping, and kinda EPIC.
Both in execution and emotional payoff.
The dinosaurs feel more real than ever.
Not just in visual effects, but in the way they’re filmed, their behavior, and their interactions with humans.
One moment in particular — no spoilers — will take your breath away.
And yes, I fell in love with a dinosaur (you’ll know the one when you see it).
In short, Jurassic World: Rebirth doesn’t just live up to the legacy of its predecessors — it forges a bold new path forward.
With a powerhouse cast, tight storytelling, and breathtaking sequences, it isn’t just a reboot — it’s a rebirth in every sense.
Final Verdict:
🦕 A must-see blockbuster that honors its roots while roaring into the future. Bring your family, it’s a fun one!
