‘Jurassic World: Reborn’ versus viewers: verdict

The highly anticipated return of the Jurassic World franchise is finally here with Jurassic World: Reborn.

The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey as well as Mahershala Ali.

So, what are audiences saying?

One viewer explained that while the characters were lacking, the special effects and cinematography were stunning, “Honestly, the first half felt all over the place - too much talking, too many introductions, and pacing that dragged. But once they hit the island, it got better: dinosaur action scenes were intense and visual effects impressive, especially that river chase and cliff sequence.

Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey were solid, with Bailey bringing unexpected charm despite some forced emotional lines. The movie leans heavily on spectacle and nostalgia, yet the human characters felt shallow and underwritten - I never truly cared about them.”

However, others disliked all aspects of the film, “Holy cow! This is more abysmal than i thought would be. None of the actors give good performance. The plot is pathetic. No twists, surprise, addition of a 'family' as if we should care about a bunch of no-name actors with nothing to add to the plot. Hard to believe this is written by David koepp, a master in his own craft. The first flop of this franchise. Universal deserves every piece of criticism it is getting. Horrendous CGI is an added disaster for this slop. I had high expectations after the previous two garbage entries in this franchise but i never felt any excitement in the trailer so naturally the movie is even pathetic i thought it would be.”

Some felt that it was a major improvement from the last installment, “I'll be honest, I went into Jurassic World: Rebirth with low expectations after the disaster of Dominion. However, I was surprised with how big of an improvement it was from Dominion.”

Jurassic World: Rebirth is currently playing in theaters.
