Jurassic World Rebirth review: A terrifying, thrilling, standalone reinvention of the franchise

Jurassic World Rebirth doesn’t just revive the franchise; it mutates it into something darker, more intense, and deeply unsettling. Directed by Gareth Edwards, this standalone sequel trades blockbuster spectacle for pulse-pounding dread, delivering a gripping blend of science fiction, action, and horror.

The plot centers on a ruthless pharmaceutical corporation racing to create a revolutionary heart disease drug. The catch? It requires blood samples from three rare dinosaur species representing air, land, and sea. To acquire them, an elite team is dispatched into isolated, uncharted terrain, only to find that nature has not only survived… it has evolved.

There was one frame of pure chaos, a dinosaur ambushing a helicopter mid-air. It’s jaw-dropping, unexpected, and unlike anything we’ve seen before. It’s the kind of scene you have to see on the big screen—jaw-dropping, unpredictable, and executed with blockbuster precision.

Unlike previous films in the franchise, Rebirth embraces a more claustrophobic, suspense-driven tone. The lush jungles and murky depths the team must traverse are no longer just dangerous; they’re malevolent. Gareth Edwards masterfully builds tension through eerie silences, flickering lights, and the lurking presence of apex predators that are no longer just animals; they’re hyper-adapted nightmares.

The horror is psychological as well as physical. Scarlett Johansson leads the cast with fierce intensity, but it’s Mahershala Ali’s morally torn executive and Luna Blaise’s terrified yet resilient child who carry the emotional and human weight. When the team stumbles upon a family hiding from something far worse than dinosaurs, the film transforms into a survival horror story in the vein of Alien and The Descent.

There are scenes that will haunt audiences: a pitch-black underwater dive gone horribly wrong and a night raid by winged predators that evokes chilling revelation about how the dinosaurs’ biology has changed since humanity last encountered them. The creature design, mixing practical effects with eerie CGI touches, makes these monsters feel more sentient and sinister than ever before.

David Koepp’s script brings a welcome sense of dread, exploring not just genetic manipulation but the ethical horror of commodifying nature’s most dangerous creations. While the film retains thrilling action sequences, the fear of what’s stalking the characters is constant and suffocating. It’s no longer about controlling dinosaurs; it’s about surviving them.

Jurassic World: Rebirth is the most daring and terrifying entry in the franchise to date. By embracing horror alongside its science fiction roots, the film reinvents the series with fresh energy, smart writing, and genuine fear. A must-see for fans of creature features and a cautionary tale that may leave your heart racing long after the credits roll.

Negative: However, Jurassic World: Rebirth leans too heavily on the original and doesn’t fully establish its own identity

Rating: 4/5
