The film press has finally been given access to "Jurassic World Rebirth," and initial social media responses to the revival of the 32-year-old dinosaur franchise seem to be mixed.  Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala ali are the main stars of "Rebirth," which was directed by Gareth Edwards, the man behind "Rogue One" and "Godzilla."

Jazz Tangcay of Variety commented on X, "Jurassic Word Rebirth is a roaring triumph and perfect entry into the franchise."  I thought the new dinosaurs were adorable, but they're really frightening.  Prepare yourself to fall for Dolores.  I thought it was wonderful and a lovely tribute to the original.


In her response, Perri Nemiroff referred to "Rebirth" as a "winner," saying that "Gareth Edwards knew just how to bring a 'Jurassic' story to screen."  I love the original film's practical cinematic magic.  The franchise has used more computer-generated imagery over time. Although there are many effects-heavy set pieces in Rebirth, the wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital components are particularly effective because Edwards knew how to keep the picture's reach-out-and-touch-it feel, especially by opting to shoot the film on film and in actual locales. 
 

However, john Flickinger, host of YouTube's "The Flick Pick," had a more critical opinion of the movie, stating that even while it had "a solid concept," it "just feels blah."  "It's a series of forgettable scenes that go nowhere," he continued.  I found myself cheering for the dinosaurs just to feel anything because the characters are uninteresting and lack chemistry.  Nothing is explored, and the plot lacks emotion, much like a studio checklist.
