As the new installment of the Jurassic World series, Jurassic World: Rebirth, prepares to be released today (July 2), the first reviews about the film have been shared. The film, which stands out as one of the most eagerly awaited productions of the summer months, is giving signs of disappointment with the scores it received from cinema critics. Rated with 54% on Rotten Tomatoes and 53 points on MetaCritic, Rebirth fell short of expectations.
Jurassic World Rebirth is upon us
Most of the critics who evaluated the film state that Rebirth is slower-paced in terms of action than the previous productions of the series. Instead of high-paced scenes decorated with humorous elements, a darker, tension-oriented narrative has been preferred this time.
However, the criticisms are concentrated on the fact that these choices did not create the desired effect. Although it is stated that an atmosphere similar to the old Jurassic Park films was tried to be established, there are opinions that this atmosphere is not strong or memorable enough.
Some critics state that the tone of the film is an attempt to give the series a different direction and that it can be appreciated especially by Jurassic Park fans. However, general comments are that Rebirth has limited depth in terms of scenario and scene plot and is weak in terms of character development.
The film takes place five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion. The story focuses on a scientific team that is on the hunt for three giant species that managed to survive the dinosaurs that have mostly disappeared after spreading all over the world. It is stated that the DNA of these three dinosaurs contains the missing building blocks of a miraculous medicine that is vital for humanity.
The director of Godzilla and The Creator films, Gareth Edwards, is in the director’s chair. The cast includes notable names such as Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali and Rupert Friend. Despite the star cast, the comments that the film will have a limited impact in terms of cinematic success are overwhelming for now.
