Jurᴀssic World Rebirth is one of the most exciting movies coming out this summer. Additionally, it’s the most excited I’ve been about a movie in the franchise since 2015’s Jurᴀssic World. Just like Jurᴀssic World, Rebirth will start a new era for the franchise. While the 2015 film received mostly positive reviews from audiences and critics, its follow-up movies, Jurᴀssic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurᴀssic World Dominion, were very underwhelming. In fact, neither Fallen Kingdom nor Dominion felt like the original Jurᴀssic Park movie at all.

Therefore, I’m glad that doesn’t seem to be the case with the upcoming Jurᴀssic World Rebirth. If it is a success, then we may get many more Jurᴀssic World movies in the coming years with a renewed vision. Based on the trailers for Jurᴀssic World Rebirth, it does seem like the film will be a hit with both critics and audiences. In classic Jurᴀssic Park fashion, it seems like Rebirth will include a lot of terrifying dinosaurs and thrilling action sequences. Therefore, here are the eight main reasons I’m excited for Jurᴀssic World Rebirth:

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth’s Director Has Made Several Amazing Blockbusters

Gareth Edwards Has Made Monster Movies Before

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth will be directed by Gareth Edwards, who has helmed previous blockbusters like Godzilla, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and The Creator. All three of these movies prove that Edwards is a talented director. Rogue One and Godzilla, in particular, showcase that Edwards is capable of working within an existing franchise. To this day, some fans still argue that Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie. A Star Wars influence will definitely be felt in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth, as the new hybrid dinosaur resembles a Rancor from the galaxy far, far away.

Moreso than Rogue One, Godzilla proves that Edwards was a great pick to direct Jurᴀssic World Rebirth. In the 2014 film, Edwards brought monsters like Godzilla and MUTO to life. All the monsters in the movie which kickstarted the Monsterverse were terrifying, which proves that the dinosaurs in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth will also be very scary. Many dinosaurs in the Jurᴀssic Park franchise should be treated as monsters to evoke the horror that was present in the original movie. Therefore, it’s great that Edwards has experience making monster movies.

The Writer Of The Original Jurᴀssic Park Wrote Rebirth

David Koepp Will Ensure Rebirth Evokes The First Jurᴀssic Park Movie

Over three decades after working with Steven Spielberg on the original Jurᴀssic Park movie, screenwriter David Koepp was brought back to pen Rebirth. Koepp wrote the screenplays for Jurᴀssic Park and its sequel, The Lost World: Jurᴀssic Park, but then left the franchise. Since Fallen Kingdom and Dominion disappointed both audiences and critics, it was a smart decision to bring Koepp back into the mix to write Jurᴀssic World Rebirth, which will hopefully be one of the best movies in the long-running franchise.

Since Koepp returned to the franchise after so many years, he was able to include scenes in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth that never made it into the series’ first two movies. For example, the T-rex river chase sequence in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth is a scene that was cut from the original Jurᴀssic Park movie. Based on the trailer for Rebirth, it seems like this scene will be terrifying, and help the new film match the tone of Jurᴀssic Park, which is widely regarded as one of the best blockbusters of all time.

The Cast Of Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Is Great

Scarlett Johansson Leads The Star-Studded Cast Of Jurᴀssic World Rebirth

Obviously, the main appeal of the Jurᴀssic Park movies is the many dinosaurs. However, no movie in the franchise would work without human characters. Thankfully, the cast of Jurᴀssic World Rebirth is incredible. The upcoming movie will feature Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, and Rupert Friend in starring roles. While there are several other talented actors included in the cast, these are the most notable names. Johansson, in particular, is arguably the most popular actress in the world, and will bring a lot of star power to Jurᴀssic World Rebirth.

In addition to Johansson, the three aforementioned actors are also amazing. Bailey has also appeared in Bridgerton and is now on the rise as a leading man in Hollywood thanks to his role in Wicked and the upcoming Wicked: For Good. Meanwhile, Ali is a two-time Oscar winner who hasn’t appeared in that many movies in recent years, possibly because his upcoming MCU movie, Blade, keeps experiencing delays. Therefore, it will be great to see him in a major blockbuster like Jurᴀssic World Rebirth, as well. Overall, the entire cast of Rebirth is exceptional.

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth’s Setting Will Recapture The Magic Of The Original Movie

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Will Mostly Be Set On An Island

While the first three Jurᴀssic Park movies were all primarily set on remote islands, the Jurᴀssic World films changed things up. The 2015 film is also set on an island, but its two sequels feature dinosaurs in different settings. While dinosaurs escaping their captivity on islands and making their way towards more densely populated areas seemed like a great idea, neither Fallen Kingdom nor Dominion executed it well. In fact, specifically in Dominion, it was very underwhelming to see dinosaurs roaming around major cities.

Therefore, I’m glad that Jurᴀssic World Rebirth will once again primarily be set on an island. The upcoming film will be set on the island that served as the research facility for the original Jurᴀssic Park. As is stated in the trailers for the film, the dinosaurs on this island were deemed too dangerous for the original park. This means that the characters in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth will encounter a lot of danger while on their mission to retrieve the DNA of several different dinosaur species.

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth’s Hybrid Dinosaur Looks Terrifying

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Will Introduce The D-Rex

In Jurᴀssic World Rebirth, Johansson’s Zora Bennett will lead a team to retrieve the DNA of the biggest dinosaurs of the land, air, and sea. However, they will likely not expect to encounter the new hybrid dinosaur which is teased in the trailers. Jurᴀssic World Rebirth’s hybrid dinosaur is known as the Distortus Rex, and was designed to resemble a Rancor from Star Wars and Xenomorph from the Alien franchise.

The trailers for Jurᴀssic World Rebirth suggest that the D-rex could be the scariest dinosaur in the entire franchise. Since the previous hybrid dinosaurs in Jurᴀssic World movies have been pretty forgettable, I’m glad that the D-rex has a unique design and a terrifying presence in Rebirth. Hybrid dinosaurs are a unique concept that still have a lot of potential, so I can’t wait to see what role the D-rex plays in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth.

The Most Iconic Dinosaurs From The Franchise Will Appear In Jurᴀssic World Rebirth

The Dinosaurs In Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Will Be Dangerous

In addition to the newly introduced D-rex, several of the most iconic dinosaurs from the franchise will make appearances in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth. Just to name a few, a T-rex, spinosaurus’, and raptors will all appear in the franchise’s newest movie. These are obviously all welcome inclusions in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth, since they are arguably the most memorable dinosaurs in the entire series. A spinosaurus, in particular, hasn’t been seen since Jurᴀssic Park III, so it will be amazing to see not just one, but multiple, in Rebirth.

I’m also so glad that T-rex’s and raptors will once again be scary in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth. The movie’s aforementioned river chase scene proves that the T-rex will once again be portrayed as one of the most dangerous dinosaurs in the franchise. Additionally, after being portrayed as allies to characters like Owen Grady in the previous Jurᴀssic World movies, raptors will also be portrayed as ᴅᴇᴀᴅly, terrifying creatures in Rebirth. By including all these species, it is clear that Jurᴀssic World Rebirth wants to honor the most notable dinosaurs from the franchise’s past.

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Will Feature Multiple Amazing Action Set Pieces

The Action In Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Looks Incredible

Jurᴀssic Park is a franchise that has always blended both horror and action. Therefore, in addition to including many scary dinosaurs to amp up the movie’s horror, Jurᴀssic World Rebirth also needs a lot of action set pieces. Thankfully, the trailers for the film showcase many intense set pieces. Since it is inspired by a scene that was cut in the original Jurᴀssic Park, the T-rex river chase sequence has obviously been getting a lot of attention. However, the trailers for Jurᴀssic World Rebirth also include a lot of other unique and thrilling set pieces.

For example, while trying to obtain DNA from a quetzalcoatlus nest, the characters will have an intense encounter with the flying creature which will result in some of them hanging from a rope off a steep cliff. Additionally, the characters in Jurᴀssic World Rebirth will be attacked by a mosasaurus and several spinosaurus’ while on a boat, which will be a very dangerous and potentially ᴅᴇᴀᴅly showdown. These are just a few of the set pieces teased for Jurᴀssic World Rebirth, which will likely include many amazing action sequences.

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Will Start A New Era For The Franchise

Will Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Set Up Future Movies?

Finally, I’m very excited for Jurᴀssic World Rebirth since it will start a new era for the franchise. After two underwhelming Jurᴀssic World movies, the franchise needs a huge win if it wants to continue. Based on the box office earnings of the last few films, it is clear that people still want new Jurᴀssic World movies. However, the story of the last few films left a lot to be desired. Therefore, if Jurᴀssic World Rebirth’s story is a lot more interesting and reviews for the film are good, then the future of the series will look very bright.

Based on the trailers for the movie, I am confident that Jurᴀssic World Rebirth will be a hit with both audiences and critics. Rebirth definitely looks a lot better than the last few movies in the franchise, which means that it truly can be the start of a new era. Hopefully, this new era continues to honor what worked so well in the first Jurᴀssic Park movie. Therefore, I can’t wait to see what the future of the franchise looks like after Jurᴀssic World Rebirth.
