Universal Pictures\u2019 Jurassic World Rebirth<\/a> has finally screened for critics and pop culture commentators, and the first reactions are in. The Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey-starring franchise installment aims to revitalize the series since the release of Jurassic World: Dominion\u00a0in 2022.<\/p>\n

Director Gareth Edwards<\/a> teams up with original Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp for Jurassic World Rebirth. The film serves as a departure from the main ensemble of the Jurassic World<\/a> films as a side story centering on a secret mission to utilize dino-DNA for a life-saving cure. So naturally, things go awry because the secluded island they have to go to ends up being filed with failed mutated dinosaur rejects like some island of misfit InGen toys.<\/p>\n

Here is a social media round-up of what critics and film content creators thought of the film and well\u2026 the results are decidedly mixed.<\/p>\n

#JurassicWorldRebirth<\/a> hits every note you’d want a Jurassic film to hit, with engaging characters, a great score, great cinematography direction and incredible VFX work by @ILMVFX<\/a> . Hats off #GarethEdwards<\/a> @LeDoctor<\/a> I already want to see it again. pic.twitter.com\/TUFwyiYrHW<\/a><\/p>\n

#JurassicWorldRebirth<\/a> is everything you want. <\/p>\n

The plot can be silly but who cares.<\/p>\n

The film is gorgeous, the dinosaurs are AWESOME, and Jonathan Bailey may be one of my new favorite actors. <\/p>\n

My heart was racing and there was a moment where I was so happy I wanted to cheer. \ud83e\udd72 https:\/\/t.co\/Z3I97ey2J3<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/1NUbUY5nli<\/a><\/p>\n

#JurassicWorldRebirth<\/a> had a solid concept\u2014mutated dinosaurs on a new island. I was intrigued. But the movie just feels blah. It\u2019s a string of forgettable scenes that go nowhere. One river sequence stood out, but the rest blurs together. The characters are dull, there\u2019s zero\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/sbixVD10Ad<\/a><\/p>\n

#JurassicWorldRebirth<\/a> is a winner! Gareth Edwards knew just how to bring a Jurassic story to screen. I adore the practical movie magic of the original film. Over the years, the franchise has embraced more CGI. Rebirth is indeed loaded with effects-heavy set pieces, but those\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/uiVnKvzO73<\/a><\/p>\n

#JurassicWorldRebirth<\/a> is a shallow and an unnecessary entry in the Jurassic Park universe.<\/p>\n

The action and the cool cinematic shots doesn\u2019t help the film overcome the GLARING flaws within its characters and the bland narrative that will leave audiences feeling empty in the end. pic.twitter.com\/QVkvahmJuA<\/a><\/p>\n

#JurassicWorldRebirth<\/a> is a roaring triumph and perfect entry into the franchise. Loved all the new dinosaurs and boy, are some scary. Get ready to fall in love with Dolores. Loved it and what a beautiful homage to the original. pic.twitter.com\/3j4Octqwe0<\/a><\/p>\n

Saw #JurassicWorldRebirth<\/a> last night \u2013 a bit intense for the little but otherwise a good dinner action thriller @JurassicWorld<\/a> #dinosaurs<\/a> \ud83e\udd96\ud83e\udd95 pic.twitter.com\/0gbDjFyrQu<\/a><\/p>\n
