🦖 Jurassic World Rebirth Review: Has the Wonder Gone Extinct?
The Seventh Chapter in a Legendary Franchise
It’s been over three decades since Jurassic Park first stunned audiences with its jaw-dropping visuals and revolutionary storytelling. Fast forward to 2025, Jurassic World Rebirth — the seventh installment in the franchise — stomps into theaters, roaring with nostalgia but struggling to recapture the awe that once defined the series.
Familiar Ingredients, But a Fading Recipe
Same Blueprint, New Wrapping
Once again, we meet a mix of scientists, action heroes, and of course, kids in danger. A shadowy billionaire and a morally grey biotech firm tinker with DNA they shouldn’t — classic Jurassic formula. The dinos? As impressive as ever, with visual effects that rival any blockbuster on screen today.
But while the dinos roar, the plot whimpers.
Missing the Magic of Spielbergian Wonder
What made Jurassic Park iconic wasn’t just the T-Rex chase. It was the awe. The wide-eyed gazes. The breathtaking silence before the storm. Rebirth tries to mimic these moments but often feels too self-aware — more like a checklist than a story.
High-Octane Action, Low Emotional Stakes
Where’s the Heart?
Action sequences are plentiful, yes — from jungle chases to underwater escapes — but they lack emotional weight. Characters argue, run, survive... then disappear emotionally. There’s little room for wonder, for silence, for reflection. And in a film about the impossible made real, that’s a big loss.
Final Verdict – Nostalgia Can’t Save Everything
★★☆☆☆ (2.5/5 Stars)
Jurassic World Rebirth delivers thrills, impressive VFX, and a few nods to its glorious past. But the soul of the franchise — the sense of wonder that made audiences gasp — feels extinct. As much as we want to keep believing in dinosaurs, Rebirth reminds us that not every fossil deserves a revival.
