‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ Tries to Revive Something Best Left Dead. We Don’t Mean the Dinosaurs

You remember the original Jurassic Parkgood? The box office success that came out of the primary road of 1993, said that Steven «did Jaws«Spielberg could still convert a book into a rustic beach reading into a box office, and gave Tyrannosaurus Rex its greatest impulse of public relations in 66,000,000 years?

Of course you do. His particular combination of something ancient (dinosaurs), something new (bleeding edge CGI), somewhat borrowed (a very familiar plot) and somewhat blue (Jeff Goldblum, nerd sex symbol) quickly made the adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel, one of the most successful films of all time, and the film continues to be a favorite of the favorite levels in their levels of household entertainment. The original engenders a sequel, which engendered a trilogy, which engendered a second trilogy that concluded with two Jurassic Bodies come together. The series had been extinguished in silence after 2022 Jurassic World: Dominion, Even the most dedicated corncal cinema addicted could have gone, well, like the Dinos, he had a good career. But as both the first film and Hollywood’s story remind us in the last five decades, nothing really dies. Especially if it is a franchise of one billion dollars.

So welcome … Jurassic world: Rebirth! The seventh entry reaches cinemas with a completely new cast of characters, an extremely optimistic subtitle and an intelligent goal goal about the cycles of mass culture phenomena. Once upon a time, the film tells us that people went into mass to see these resurrected giant creatures of the old DNA. Then the novelty disappeared, the public got bored of all those Nouveau Brontos and triceratops, and thanks to indifference, the distractions of «designed entertainment» competing and some catastrophes that demonstrate the industry, the entire notion of gasoline amazed by the reviven beasts became extremely passé. Feel free to draw any parallel to those who care.

Therefore, in RenaissanceThe world of 2025, dinosaurs have once again the path of dinosaurs. Most have extinguished, although a handful continues to thrive in oxygen -rich environments and tropical climates near Ecuador. Humans are prohibited from traveling to the island of Ile Saint Hubert, where many of the remaining dinosaurs continue to live. There is also where the company responsible for the attraction parks once carried out experiments and possible possible raised species in the laboratory. And, as a preamble shows us, it is where once an accident occurred that implied a wandering wrapping of caramel, an employee and a monstrosity similar to Xenomorph called Distortus Rex. (Quick side note: There is a batch Product placement in the film, even for Studio Summer-Blockbuster standards. But given the way in which a avant -garde test installation is demolished almost without help by a snickers ™, Mars Inc. may want to consider asking your money to return your money).

Naturally, the fact that the area is completely out of the limits does not mean that any hungry fool of profits not hire mercenaries to escort it there. Enter Martin Krebs (friend Rupert). He is a representative of a pharmaceutical company that knows that the DNA of several different dinosaurs can have the key to resolving many important diseases that afflict us the Homo sapiens of the United States. Whoever obtains DNA will first dominate the market, so Krebs is determined to overcome competition. Obtain the expert in «Safety and Situational Reaction», Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) to sign for a high price. They recruit Dr. Henry Loomis (WickedJonathan Bailey) to join them, since they will need a paleontologist to identify the specific species. The opportunity to see one closely is too good for him to let. In addition, it will work as the conscience in residence for this hunting party. «Is it a crime to kill a dinosaur?» Krebs mocks. «It’s a sin,» Loomis replies.

Add to Duncan (Mahershala Ali), a ship captain who works in a Caribbean port that Zora recruits to transport them to this lost world, and their crew, most of which have names, but it can well be called future 1-7 snacks, and you have the group that will face those hungary, angry dines. Actually, do that one of the groups. They also present us to thin, a family on a navigation trip through the Atlantic. The father, reloc (Lincoln’s lawyerManuel García-Rulfo) has decided to make a last trip with his children before the older one, Teresa (Luna Blaise), goes to college. She has also brought her least cheerful boyfriend (David Iacono), for pop disgust. The youngest, Isabella (Audrina Miranda), completes the team. After an encounter with a whale dino, his sloop overturned. Duncan collects his relief signal and collects the thin ones. Everyone is going to Ile Saint Hubert. The groups separate. Guess what happens next?

The idea of ​​division and conquest is intelligent on paper, since two different sets of explorers, one by choice, the other by chance, duplicates both the narrative terrain that can be covered and the number of possible filling in the target, the artists of the VFX can adhere to their pleasure vision of vision of great success. Zora & Co. can face a protective mother Pterodactyl, while thin should prevent a T. Rex from biting both an explosive raft and in themselves, etc. Jurassic park, David Koepp, is an expert in juggling with the mourning plots, and has brought a lot from the atmosphere of the monstrous film that made the first film as an old school adrenaline. But even he can prevent him from feeling like a round trip ping-pong ends up in waves of the tension of both stories long before the groups inevitably unite forces again. It does not help that, despite the angle of the family drama, the fans are not as interesting as the rental soldiers, the Nebbishy scientist and the corporate villain who turns with a mustache. You understand the need for children in danger, but you would like to have stayed with the adventurers.

And while director Gareth Edwards knows how Godzilla restart and Rogue One: A Star Wars story), There is a kind of autopilot sensation in the procedures here. Jurassic world: Rebirth He has a better filmmaker than the average in The Helm, a top -level screenwriter, a good -faith film star in the action hero mode, one of the best actors who are currently working, both Johansson and Ali are making a large amount of heavy uprising here, and are serious groups in terms of the duties of reaction sucks, and the benefit of a reliable and proven intellectual property over time.

So why does the hell feel so generic, so for the numbers, so instantly forgettable? Everything resembles the great success version of a ReadyMade, assembled from several recognizable spare parts and elevated only by virtue of its name. Fans and completeists can still be stunned by a SCARJO vs. show. Tell us, and you should never underestimate the power of giant and teeth jaws biting poor and unfortunate humans. But long before the big climax, you will begin to understand why the film’s jar of the film bored what once seemed exciting and unique. Subtituding this rebirth seems to have been an act of extreme optimism.
