Cheesy dialogue, forgettable characters—and not even the dinosaurs could save it.
I wanted to like Jurassic World: Rebirth. A fresh cast, new direction, and the promise of more dino-driven spectacle had me hoping this would be a bold new chapter for the franchise. But unfortunately, what we got was one of the weakest installments I can remember.
Let’s start with the dialogue—it’s rough. We’re talking cringe-inducing, eye-roll-worthy, straight-up cheesy lines that feel more suited for a B-movie parody than a tentpole blockbuster. Every emotional beat is over-explained, every joke falls flat, and the characters rarely sound like real people. It’s hard to invest in the stakes when you’re constantly pulled out by awkward writing.
Once the dinosaurs enter the picture, things improve slightly. The action is in line with what we’ve come to expect from the franchise—big, loud, and visually impressive. And I’ll admit, the subplot involving two dinosaurs that appear to be bonded or “in love” was actually kind of sweet in an unexpected way. It added a bit of heart to an otherwise thin story.
The acting? Just okay. With a brand-new cast, this was a chance to introduce fresh energy and new dynamics, but no one really stands out. Whether it’s due to the writing, the direction, or just miscasting, there’s not much here that makes you want to follow these characters into another film.
For a franchise as iconic as Jurassic Park, that’s disappointing. This should’ve felt theater-worthy on all fronts—but instead, it plays more like something you’d half-watch on Netflix on a slow Sunday. If you’re in it purely for the dinosaurs, you might find enough to enjoy. But outside of that, it’s hard to recommend this without feeling like I owe someone an apology afterward.
Let’s hope the next installment learns from this one’s mistakes—and roars a little louder.
