The new Jurassic installment comes loaded with the visual display and action you’d expect from a summer blockbuster. There are chases, thundering roars, and dinosaurs crafted with remarkable detail. Entertainment is guaranteed, and in that sense, it delivers exactly what it promises.
The problem is that it also feels like “more of the same.” The story moves forward without major surprises and, while the pace never drops, many sequences feel recycled. The film plays it safe, avoiding bold ideas or narrative twists that could bring real freshness.
The absence of the classic characters may disappoint longtime fans, but the cast shines with newcomers like Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, two actors whose charisma and talent elevate the material. Their presence adds weight, even if the script doesn’t always give them enough depth.
Visually, Gareth Edwards delivers a vibrant spectacle, with energetic direction that at times recalls Spielberg’s spirit, though it never quite reaches that original sense of awe. It’s a fun ride, designed for pure entertainment, but unlikely to linger in memory as something more meaningful.
Ultimately, “Jurassic World: Rebirth” is popcorn cinema at its core: it entertains, it thrills, but it doesn’t manage to restore the franchise’s lost wonder.
