Jurassic World: Rebirth (Gareth Edwards, July 2, 2025) Movie • Page 27

The film was really just a more detailed late game JRPG fetch quest combined with a painless rescue quest lol

 

I thought the Snickers thing was the indicator that you were getting a B monster movie. Loved it.

 

it was, then they abandoned it lol

 

The snickers wrapper thing was so fucking stupid haha, that works in a final destination but not JP for me

 

The candy wrapper thing seems like it’s mainly a nod to The Lost World novel. A book-only character drops a candy wrapper from the high hide and it sort of leads to the failure of the whole rig because it gets the attention of a raptor.

They could have picked a million different ways to screw up the whole system so a candy bar wrapper seems like a very particular choice lol.

 

Oh in that regard to it being a nod then I’m cool with it. There’s however no way they’re drinking Heineken Silver in South America however lol

 

The main cast was fine. Family stuff sucked, outside of the raft scene. Dolores stuff can go on and git. Get that baby shit out of here.

 

Seated for this now.

I’m sure they’ll quiet down for the actual movie, but these 5 dudes walked in loud as fuck. It took so much of me to not ask them if this was the first time their significant others let them out this month.

Anyway, I am psyched to see the pivotal role this Snickers wrapper has.

 

Boriiiiiiiiiiiing.

Odyssey teaser was cool. Nolan getting the post-Kidman ad spot is tight.

 

Freak ass Dino emerging with the helicopter and yeeting it all in one shot reminded me of Godzilla. 1 star for that shot.

 

Great shot. Fun movie

 

This was fine. I’m leaning positive, but wouldn’t bother defending it that much.

That Snickers wrapper really messed things up.

Dolores had like 5 minutes of screen time. I was expecting way more based on some complaints. She was fine.

My favorite part of the screening was when Loomis fell from the cliff and a guy in our theater audibly said, “oh no” in a really concerned tone.

Some solid Dino fun. I saw someone say there were no raptors, but that’s not true. Although, if you love them, you gotta be bummed they got a worse treatment than the T-Rex in JP3.

I guess the mutadons kind of took their spot. They looked like a raptor crossed with a pteranodon? Not quite the same vibe.

I had seen a blurb saying Edwards did a bad job because the river scene didn’t make sense to them how deep the river was. Like, when the T-Rex could stand or swim. So I paid extra attention to that and I didn’t really see an issue. Depths change in rivers and when it would go back and forth, the Rex would be walking on the side where it would make sense to be more shallow or they had floated further along enough that the depth could change. Giving my official “that take is trash” stamp to that random person I saw on Threads.

 

This was a fun movie.

The snickers scene was so stupid I was worried it meant the rest of the movie would suck, luckily that wasn't the case. Definitely some other dumb plot points and stuff throughout but overall I enjoyed it. Characters were mostly good.

But part of the premise for creating the mutated dinosaur being that people became disinterested in dinosaurs might be the dumbest thing honestly. I mean come on, if we brought back dinos the public is not going to get bored of it!

 

Dinosaur fatigue.

 

Just got out of the theater. Saw this with my son. Solid movie. Enjoyable. Probably the 3rd best Jurassic Park movie after Jurassic Park & The Lost World, but that's honestly such a low bar to clear because the rest of these movies have been so bad. It's weird how much they struggle to make a good movie out of this idea with gargantuan budgets and access to all of the top notch technical filmmaking talent.

I was honestly a little disappointed in Gareth Edwards direction on this. Didn't really feel him behind the camera so-to-speak, whereas I have big time on almost everything else that he has made. He was more just a solid journeyman director here that didn't drop the ball and make a boring, crappy movie like Colin Trevorrow. There weren't really any shots though where I smiled to myself and thought about how good he is with the camera like there are all over Rogue One & Godzilla. Plus, the dinosaurs in broad daylight looked a little rough special effects wise. I assumed some of the weaker shots in the previews weren't done yet, but that was the final product. That scrapped dino-only beginning from Dominion was pretty damn close to photoreal.

I was also kinda surprised that the real, actual dinosaurs took a back seat here to the fake, mutant dinosaurs as much as they did. I knew the fake ones were gonna be there, but still. I would've been pumped if all of the D-Rex stuff was just a T-Rex instead, and the Mutadons were all raptors. Would've been cool to make people scared of dinosaurs again. They *really* did the raptors dirty here haha. Not sure what that was about. I still get scared during some of the raptor scenes in JP.

The stuff people have been complaining about was so minor though. The Snickers wrapper was just a way to get the door to malfunction. Could've just had a spark or something, but surprised that people cared at all. People get lazy and cut corners with safety at work all the time. Dolores was barely in this.

I laughed when Ed Skrein bit it after like 5 minutes and not doing a goddamn thing, because when he showed up I thought it was a little weird that I had no idea he was even in this movie at all, but then it made sense.

The actors all did fine, but I think I really missed having amazing characters like Ian Malcolm, Dr. Grant, Dr. Sadler, and even John Hammond.

 

Snickers wrapper > Dolores

 

Altoids > Snickers wrapper > Dolores

I actually chuckled at the Altoids, twice I think

 

Fun enough adventure flick. A pretty good B movie, but not a great Jurassic Park movie.

 

Saw this for a second time, just as stupid and fun as I remembered, except the first 30 minutes are clumsy with setup and dialogue.

 

My favorite "stuck on an island with dangerous prehistoric monsters" big adventure movie of the 21st century is still Kong: Skull Island.

 

The fakeout at the end with Mahershala Ali was so bad. It's like maybe that would have meant something if they actually made me give a shit about that character.

 

brother I wish this was half as good as that

 

I agree with this, but I also think there is only one great Jurassic Park movie

 

I still think The Lost World was a pretty great Jurassic Park movie but that's just me.
