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.
