I’VE NEVER BEEN A HUGE FAN OF THE JURASSIC PARK FRANCHISE. THE FIRST ONE WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE; SIMPLY BECAUSE OF HOW ICONIC IT IS. THE ORIGINAL JURASSIC PARK ALSO LEANS HEAVILY INTO PRACTICAL EFFECTS AND HORROR ELEMENTS (MY FAVORITES). THE LOST WORLD AND JURASSIC PARK 3 JUST DIDN’T SPEAK TO ME ON A LEVEL OF GREATNESS. THE JURASSIC WORLD MOVIES WERE ALSO AN ALMOST PAINFUL WATCH.

HOWEVER JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH USES A VERY BASIC FORMULA TO IT’S ADVANTAGE. IT HAS A CLASSIC FEEL YET DOESN’T PLAY INTO THE NOSTALGIA TOO MUCH. THE FILM IS WELL CASTED AND WAS RELEASED AT THE PEAK OF SUMMER (PERFECT TIMING). REBIRTH GIVES YOU PLENTY OF DINOSAURS WITH A UNIQUE, MUTATED TWIST ON TOP OF THAT. IT DOESN’T RELY ON CHEESY HUMOR (FOR THE MOST PART) BUT RATHER MORE LIKEABLE CHARACTERS.

WHILE THE FILM DOESN’T QUITE LIVE UP TO IT’S ADRENALINE-FILLED POTENTIAL. IT REMAINS A SATISFYING ADVENTURE FILM CATERING TO THE DINO LOVING FANS OF THE FRANCHISE.
