Kevin says JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH kinda rocks!
A big summer movie brings big summer monsters back to the big summer screen.
We see a lot of familiar things in the latest installment of the Jurassic Park franchise. In JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH, people are stranded AGAIN… on an island populated by vicious dinosaurs AGAIN… and things go horribly awry AGAIN… and somehow children end up in danger AGAIN.
More than 30 years after Spielberg’s brilliant film, this sequel/spinoff has much better visual effects, but still lacks the interesting characters and snappy dialogue.
But lets’ face it… you’re here for the spectacle, and JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH delivers on that. And it goes back to the heart of the franchise, leaving bizarre backstories of cloned children and international weapons auctions to make way for what amounts to a mega-budgeted Doug MacClure film.
The story offers some interesting ideas on dinosaur survival, and it’s broken into segments almost like a video game, which works in a strange way. If only every character’s tragic backstory wasn’t so forced.
JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH gets three fossils out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
