Jurassic World: Rebirth Review Thread

A father takes his family sailing in the middle of the ocean at the EXACT place all the dinosaurs live and no one is allowed to be.

The dino museum guy has apparently never seen a real dino while a real dino is lying down in traffic right outside the museum.

The mercenary group who is traveling to the dino island brings one gun.

The group jumps into the shallows to save themselves from the dinosaurs in the open ocean, they then swim to the beach, only for the ship they just jumped from landing at the beach right next to them.

Then a spino eats one crew member on the beach, and they dont care much and just stays on the beach and keep unpacking.

Fucking massive plant eating dinosaurs hides in the grass and pops up out of nowhere to the jurassic park theme. Even if the grass was 10 times longer it wouldn't cover them.

T-Rex sleeping and the girl starting to inflate that boat next to it.

And the end, what's the goal here? are they gonna drive across the ocean in that thing? what about gas? they would go a few miles out and run out of gas and die. And the kid brought the dino, but wasnt there something about how dinos needed more oxygen and couldnt survive outside the equator?
  1. It wasn't super smart but it also shouldn't really have been a problem, the spinos there were mutants that were more amphibious and they changed their behaviour to a symbiotic one so they could hunt on the ocean; nobody seemed to be aware this change happened.
  2. No the line was that he hadn't seen a real dino in the wild, and as long as he hadn't, he'd just be another zoo visitor like everyone else.
  3. They did bring guns, they lost half their stuff when the spino dragged all the gear off into the ocean.
  4. That was a bit odd, I guess he was trying to act as a decoy or something
  5. No they definitely move away from the beach closer to the forest, there also wasn't any other spino close as he dragged everything off into the ocean and basically left
  6. Titanosaurus? they didn't pop up out of nowhere, he said they were supposed to be in the next valley over so they moved over there and then they saw the tails first and moved closer and saw them and the rest of the herd.
  7. The rest of the characters all tell her not to inflate it, but she felt like she has to, as it said "inflate on land, will sink in water", she either inflates it and they deal with the trex or they don't and they die not much later on because the dad can't run
  8. They didn't seem to be that far away from where they left (suriname) so they should be able to make it back.

1. Why shouldn't it have been a problem? it is an illegal area, all countries on earth stays away from it. There is a mosasaurus there. You don't go there with a kid.

2. That may be true, I can't recall if he said "in the wild".

3. They had plenty of gear left, on the boat, and packed. There is nothing to indicate it was all in the gear the spino took.

5. The spinos moved in packs and could come from the water. No one would stay on that beach.

6. The titanosauros pack was lying down in the grass, first we saw their tales, then they stood up.

7. Dude, if there is a t-rex, no one would care about the boat, and the dad and his leg wouldn't stand around in sight waving, as he can't get away. They would bolted as fast as possible or wait til the animal leaves. That scene was built for suspense, not logic.

8. We can't see land and they are heading for open water. Its a boat they grabbed that has been there for years and wouldnt have been fueled. The whole place had been deserted for a while.

  1. It shouldn't have been a problem danger wise, even if there was a mosasaurus there it's like running into a needle in a haystack; the reason they were attacked is because the spinos led the mosasaurus to them. Bringing a kid was commented on as irresponsible.
  2. not may be, that's the truth.
  3. sure, but that's the implication, their gear gets hauled off and then she mentions that they have no guns afterwards.
  4. (5) and they didn't stay on the beach, when they first land they even yell to keep running because they are amphibious, it then seemed safe and they had to collect what gear they saved anyway otherwise the mission was over then and there; half of it gets dragged off and then they move to the forest
  5. (6) yes, as mentioned he said they were in the valley, which means they were either higher or lower than them before running into them, you can see the terrain goes downwards where they are to the rest of the herd, they weren't at the same level.
  6. (7) bolting isn't really an option, because there wasn't anywhere to bolt to, if they headed back they'd just go back to the raptors and flying raptors, and they needed to keep moving or they'd miss meeting up with the other group, so no waiting till it leaves either; any option not taking the boat across the river is guaranteed death.
  7. (8) It was an emergency vehicle, there's no reason it wouldn't have been fueled (of course fuel goes bad in real life, but that's a different discussion); even if they can't see land, similar vehicles have the range to head all the way back, we also have some indication of where the island is because as part of some viral marketing, there was a dino tracker website for JW dominion, this site conveniently "crashed" leading up to the release of Rebirth, now it just shows a bunch of coordinates linked to dinos. There's two interesting entries on it though that are both listed as "unknown location", the mosasaurus and the trex. As you can see they are basically on top of each other and should be where the island is, it's really not that far away from the coast of french guiana and the boat should be in that range.
 
Went and watch it. I enjoy it and the kids did too. The youngest son, was more into and was more afraid what was gonna happen to the kids. Lot better then the last two for sure

Final Dino reminds me of
a hell knight from doom eternal

T. rex sequence was probably my favorite part. I wish the girls screamed more intense like in the original these are giant man eating lizards why give out weak whimpers when they're right in front of u it's entertaining to hear how hard they can shriek. T. rex roar is still the goat roar should've came in at the end to fight the last Dino while the crew got away to give the audience one last good fight to top off the movie :messenger_face_steam:

1. This is an area where every country in the world has agreed to make a no-go quaranteed zone. Its fucking stupid to go there. They do this because the writers need a kid on the island and don't know how to write it, so they force this in.

3. Thats not the implication. The implication is that they cant have people with guns, because it wouldn't be scary. She says they never had any real weapons.

4. They stayed on the beach, right by the water. The dino even roars close by.

5. No, there are dinos standing up right next to them.

6. The dino would kill anyone if it woke, dragging that boat pasts it was way more dangerous than hiking. they only did this so they could recreate in the book scene.

7. the island is isle st hubert. its too far away for a small/medium boat.

/SPOILER]
 
I enjoyed it in theater. I'm not sure how much it will hold up in memory or when the theater experience wears off. Had some nice setpieces. I think he displayed dinosaurs behaving like animals and not monsters (ironically in this movie) pretty well. Especially the river scene.

1. The area is illegal, but that doesn't mean it's guaranteed danger, 99% of the dangerous dinos are on land, they only ran into the sole mosasaurus in the entire atlantic because of the spinos leading it to them.

3. She's spec ops, specialises in extraction, situational security and action (mercenary), and can guarantee your safety (more or less), she's not doing any of that without weapons. Did you also just miss the entire scene about them talking whether killing a dino is a crime or a sin when discussing the neurotoxin guns?
She didn't say they never had guns, because they objectively did, she said what they had was just there to make them feel safer, but wouldn't really make a difference against the big boys because no guns do at that point.

4. They didn't stay on the beach after the attack, the blood washes away and they move back behind some rocks closer to the forest right next to the fence and say to hurry up because they are coming back.
If you mean right as they land, as mentioned before they don't stop and chill either, they yell to keep moving because they are amphibious, the girl gets tired from pulling so she tries to push instead and then the spino that was already there gets her.

5. They do not rise out of the grass next to them, the first one they see rises up from behind a hill in front of them and the second one rises up from a lower elevation

6. It's death either way, they stay there or move back they die, they move forward they die, they inflate the boat they potentially die.
And it's a story, everything happens because the author wants it to happens, so that's a silly argument.

7. The island doesn't exist, it's not a real place, but the distance they give for it is in-line with the coordinates from the dino tracker website and is 100% in range of similar sized crafts (200nmi).
 
This is better than the previous three movies put together and easily the second best in the series. It's Jurassic Park 3 done right.

The spinosaurus beach scene was unnerving lol. And finally, the raft scene on screen!
 
Lots of CG heavy sequences have a zooming camera going where it shouldn't and for whatever reason that breaks immersion (for me).
My man. Keeping the camera grounded and in a way a human would be able to observe something goes so far in making the extraordinary "relatable".

Directors got so enamored with being able to make cameras move with what would be 15 G-Forces that they never stopped to think if they should.
 
Still going to see it because I'm dumb as fuck but right wing, left wing... The rare unity of a bad movie makes these sides come together and it looks like this is one of them. I might enjoy it but there's no denying the directions they have taken this series is beyond stale.
 
the next one should be a dino human hybrid. That should stir up some news

They can have a straight-to-video film in the interim that explains just how that dino human hybrid came to be

First time I saw it with the wife, it was the definition of a "Meh" movie.
Felt like something like Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (but somehow worse constructed), or straight-to-DVD crap with colossal budget.
Some dumb stuff, sterile/inoffensive plot and dialogues, one-dimensional stereotypical characters (can't stand the entire family, spineless father especially). Some noticeable CGI set extensions I'm not a fan of. Not nearly as scary or tense as it should be and I don't really understand at this point, first two movies have shown you can have gore and straight horror-dread and still make tons of money and sell loads of toys. This one in this regard is an obvious improvement over the World saga, but just push a little further ffs.
By far and away the worst OST in entire saga. Completely off, worst aspect of the movie in my opinion, they need to bring back Giacchino back because this one not only doesn't have a single nice piece of music I can recall, it just doesn't have a Jurassic movie DNA. And that kind of connective tissue was vital here because of the new cast, plot, and all these new King Kong/Kong: Skull Island environments not really feeling they belong to the saga.

As for the positives, ScarJo doesn't feel "girlboss" at all. She isn't the usual male parody, a bit of fresh air to see a character like this having characteristics of a vulnerable, emotional, nurturing and even flirty female. Complimented really well by Kincaid. See no real reason for that character to be a female in the first place other than "you know why", but they did a nice job. Opposite story for the family older daughter, I mean nothing exaggerated or anything but I am too fatigued for that kind of character.
Dinosaurs act like animals, finally. And they look good. Mosasaur, T. rex, they look amazing and utter gigantic! All animals are finally animated with competence and taste, Dilophosaurus aside. Raft scene was good, except the fact it's still intact by the end is the most absurd thing in the entire series possibly.
Some really clever shots of dinosaurs, you can tell this is made by a person who has some form of "art" in him.
Movie looks good. Went directly from 35mm Jurassic Park (not the puke-inducing the Home Video version) to this and it was fucking seamless, I know many don't give a shit about shooting on film but I do, gorgeous, organic presentation.
Sound effects, best in the entire Jurassic World saga. They didn't reuse the same SFX all the time like they did in the previous trilogy and I fucking loved this. Kudos!
A very cool couple of death scenes. One in particular, although not gory, is pretty damn brutal and doesn't end immediately, may be a little disturbing even. They needed to be all like this.
I don't care for the Mutadons, except for the fact we see one being shot dead, probably the first time in the entire series we see an animal being killed by a gun and it's pretty bloody as well, as a matter of fact I think they suck and the fact they are able to take off defies gravity, but the D. Rex is cool looking. I don't really get why they have to keep pushing this hybrid nonsense, but it was a cool creature.

So, meh, but still enjoyable because there's just something about these movies.
I had promised by brother we would go see it together, like every other Jurassic movie, so although I wasn't excited about it I went to see it again, this time in 3D, and since we ordered tickets online we also had a nice InGen badge.
This time I liked it much more. To the point, I'm almost ashamed to admit I'd like to see it again.
Hope for an Extended version of some sort in HV because Velociraptor were done dirty, and their new design is awesome and can't be wasted in such shameless fashion by cutting their only scene, teased in the Trailer.

The mutants and dino fatigue crap are Spielberg's obsessions and I can't understand why.
At least this time they got some of the mutants right - the Doom 3 Hell Knight is an absolute crowd pleaser in literally every scene. The helicopter scene is so good!
 
100% fun movie, this movie the way I see it through the lens of LOST, the dinosaurs are the smoke, the mystery etc. the horror dinosaur niche is there.
 
A father takes his family sailing in the middle of the ocean at the EXACT place all the dinosaurs live and no one is allowed to be.

The dino museum guy has apparently never seen a real dino while a real dino is lying down in traffic right outside the museum.

The mercenary group who is traveling to the dino island brings one gun.

The group jumps into the shallows to save themselves from the dinosaurs in the open ocean, they then swim to the beach, only for the ship they just jumped from landing at the beach right next to them.

Then a spino eats one crew member on the beach, and they dont care much and just stays on the beach and keep unpacking.

Fucking massive plant eating dinosaurs hides in the grass and pops up out of nowhere to the jurassic park theme. Even if the grass was 10 times longer it wouldn't cover them.

T-Rex sleeping and the girl starting to inflate that boat next to it.

And the end, what's the goal here? are they gonna drive across the ocean in that thing? what about gas? they would go a few miles out and run out of gas and die. And the kid brought the dino, but wasnt there something about how dinos needed more oxygen and couldnt survive outside the equator?

The Office Thank You GIF


I can't believe how dumb the story in this movie is.
 
And what about things like:
A Snickers wrapper causing the whole facility to shutdown and release all locks rather than going into lockdown? :messenger_winking_tongue:
Also
yeah let's embark on a suicide mission to retrieve blood samples of big dinosaurs ignoring the gigantic dinosaur lying on the street literally across from the museum they're in.

Seriously who wrote this thing.

Seriously who wrote this thing.
The writers don't care about what came before:
Considering the previous dinos were man made(so they have the complete genomic records and they were cloned to begin with), why would they need samples from those specific dinos? Why not just make more dinos if they need specific heart/blood details? :ROFLMAO:

They wanted the biggest dinosaurs and the titanosaurus is 50% bigger.

Chaos theory is the backbone of the franchise, and the scene was fucking hilarious in how quickly it escalated. That's exactly the kind of batshit scenario that Crichton was famous for. In the book, the computer tracks 250 dinos because that's the expected number, but it turns out that way more exist. Who writes this shit amirite?

Speaking of Crichton, I got some Pirate Latitudes vibes from the boat crew and their land expedition.

Here's a revelation for you: source materials can be bad or have bad parts too. :messenger_winking_tongue:

Rewatch the first movie, it's not just one dumb thing happens and the whole facility breaks down, they had to work to make all things calamitous happen at the same time.

I've seen this movie and its completely retarded. Its worse than I expected.

Writing is on the wall when the Snickers wrap causes this factory lockdown.

Crew goes on a top secret mission, but hey, lets turn back and save this family who has absolutely no right to be there to begin with.

Don't bring any weapons too.

Make the big bad Dino a Xenomorph reject.

Sacrifice Ali but lets not. He fires a flare and casually swims to the boat.. okay.

What exactly was Ed Skrein doing in this movie?

Its even worse than the previous 3, and I thought it wasn't possible.

1. It doesn't matter if it's a small chance of running into a mosasauros lol, when you plan a trip, you dont plan to sail into the one place on earth where every nation agrees is a no-go zone. I don't understand why you don't see that lol.

3. She literally kills a dino with a gun later on. She says they only had "toys" that wouldnt be useful. Which makes zero fucking sense as not all dinos are giants. They had tranqualizers, that was the toys.

4. I downloaded it to see if I was wrong, and no, I was right. The water almost splashes on them as they unpack stuff.

5. You are wrong here too, I just watched it, the second dino sits on the ground in front of them.

6. There is not death either way, it's death if they wake the dino. They should have done it like the original instead of making it into a comedy with the stupid daughter dragging it in front of the dino. And I have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to the author. They didn't follow the author.

7. No shit the island ain't real lol. Its a fantasy story. But we know where its situated in the story, and it would take many many hours for that boat to get back, which is impossible with a small/medium boat without extra tanks. They are done for.
 
Based on all of the impressions and spoilers I think it's time to rip the band-aid off of the Jurassic I.P.

No more half steps. Full on science fiction, evolve the dinosaurs' intellect, attach lasers and rockets to them, then humans will build robots to fight them.

If they're going to be stupid, they need to go full-stupid.

1. it matters a lot, because it's not "one place", it's a giant area around the equator and 99% of what's dangerous is on land, they were traveling away from the area as their starting point was barbados, without the mutant spinos with modified behaviour the chance was 0%.

3. They weren't tranqualizers, how is it possible you pirated the movie and still missed the conversation about killing a dino being a crime or a sin? It was a neurotoxin and would without a doubt kill smaller dinos.

4. No you aren't right, the water goes quite far and the girl is attacked when still on the wet sand, they move all the way away from that on dry sand a few steps from the fence, behind rocks that weren't there where they landed; there was literally no further to go because the fence is right there.

5. no it does not, it might be the terrible quality cam you pirated, but it's very clear when they move towards it they are heading downwards from where they are; if you are unable to see that perspective I can't help you.

6. There's absolutely death either way, where do you propose they go? They fall down and basically have a river and a forest with who knows what in front of them. They either stay there and wait, and then die because they miss their connection, try to go back to where the raptors are, which wouldn't work anyway because how's the dad going to climb back up? Or they head forward into the unknown and either die or miss their connection as well since the dad was slowing them down.
And lol the author of a story is obviously whoever writes the story, arguing something happens just because they wanted to do "x" is silly, that's literally everything in a story.

7. No it's not impossible, I've mentioned several times now that's in range of similar sized crafts (200nmi), because it is; they'll make it back just fine.

You rated Lost World too high. That movie is dumb as fuck and it gets worse every time I watch it. The first JW is legitimately better than that trash.
 
The script was rough, and it's not like they wrote themselves into situations that were unfixable. There was so much even a simple review by someone mildly competent could have tweaked and fixed, it's baffling it made it to the screen.
 
Another annoyance with these is shooting in 2.39:1 as standard.

1.85:1 helps with the sense of scale (used on JP1-3) while 2.39:1 just feels congested, robbing the subjects of scale and making everything feel small minituarised despite being on a big screen. Far too many movies now that are meant to convey scale are being done in 2.39:1, paired with unflattering framing and lots of very digital-looking CGI. In the end it all just feels small and I feel nothing, no weight, no impact, no scale.

Scarlett Johansson becomes world's highest-grossing lead actor after Jurassic World Rebirth


Wow, I know those marvel films made bank but I wouldn't have put ScarJo over SLJ or RDJ based on her non-marvel work. Or I would have pegged Zoe Saldana as #1 due to the avatar films. I'm sure you can massage these numbers like you can with anything in hollywood (inflation adjustments, for example, or what films count) but good on her. She's come a long way from those "gave benicio del toro head in the elevator" days :P

Just saw in it in theaters. It was okay. Not the best Jurassic by any means but certainly not the worst. Some cool set pieces, the first one with the swimming Mososaurus was intense and very well shot and the T-rex and flying raptor who protected her eggs were also good fun. The three main leads with Scarlett were good characters but the rest were pretty meh and forgettable. The plot was thin as expected and didn't really go anywhere or take the franchise forward in an interesting way but as a whole it was a fun popcorn movie. Probably forgotten in a week but it's modern Hollywood. None of their tentpole movies have any sort of staying power these days so whatever. Just shut your brain off for two hours and you're all set.
 
Yet another shitty JP sequel that earns an undeserved amount of money.

This movie is so bad that it killed my desire to play Jurassic Park Evolution 2 for now. At least I only paid $3 for it lol

Kids nowadays don't know what achievement the first Jurassic Park back in 1993 was because every Marvel movie basically is full of CGI effects today.
Jurassic Park was something special because you saw the first time lifelike Dinosaurs which has never been seen until then. I was a huge Dinosaur fan as a kid so for me it was a revelation.

Can't believe that was 1993. Now it's 2025, and the dinosaurs, production, humans (somehow), etc., all look infinitely shittier.

Do you mean that graphic effects for Jurassic World looking worse than in the original Jurassic Park?
I haven't seen Jurassic World Rebirth but other Jurassic Park movies don't look that much better than the first one, it was ahead of its time.

Spielberg and his team did loads of smart filming in the first one to cover for the lacking CGI capabilities. Also they used loooootttts of animatronics. Masterpiece of filmmaking. You can feel that people with passion for the craft were working on it.

Yes they had a passion for the craft, for sure. Spielberg reminds me sometimes he wants to get in touch with your inner child and seeing those amazing effects (CGI and Animatronics) for the first time, it was like seeing a real dinosaur the first time, that's why this movie will always have a soft spot in my heart.

Tell me about it. I was also a HUGE dinosaur buff at that time (7-8 years old). The movie was legit like a dream come true.
Love how the technical limitations back in the days forced the filmmakers to only use the CGI for enhancing the movie when animatronics could absolutely not be used. Todays it's like the other way around. Movies are made in the CGI studio and only spiced up with real stuff. What a travesty.

Glad I was there in the 90s. It was magical.

Watched it two days ago, better than any of Colin Trevorrow's MCU Dino slop but still not even close to being good enough to be with the older movies.

Those Colin Trevorrow movies are SERIOUSLY garbage.
