Jurᴀssic World Rebirth‘s Rotten Tomatoes score has been revealed, but how does it compare to the past Jurᴀssic movies? Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by the franchise’s original writer David Koepp, the new Jurᴀssic World movie introduces a new cast of characters who embark on a mission to the island of Ile Saint-Hubert for a pharmaceutical company.

The island was once used by InGen as a research facility and, decades later, is still filled with failed, mutated dinosaur experiments. Jurᴀssic World Rebirth‘s cast includes Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, Ed Skrein, and more.

Now, ahead of its theatrical release in a few days, Jurᴀssic World Rebirth has debuted to a 58% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie has 76 reviews at the time of writing, so the score will fluctuate as more are currently being published. It doesn’t yet have an audience score, though it will begin to take shape once the movie releases in theaters.

What Jurᴀssic World Rebirth’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Means For The Movie

What Are The Reviews Saying?

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth‘s Rotten Tomatoes means that its reviews are decidedly mixed. For instance, ScreenRant‘s Jurᴀssic World Rebirth review is mostly positive, as Mary Kᴀssel gave the movie seven out of 10 stars and writes, “After decades of missteps, the Jurᴀssic franchise’s latest is its best and most meaningful movie in years… thrilling us with action and investing in its emotional story.”

Otherwise, Rebirth is dividing critics sharply. Many are praising its back-to-basics approach, thrilling set pieces, and Gareth Edwards’ direction. Supporters are calling it a visually stunning return to form, with crowd-pleasing dinosaur action and nostalgic flair. Performances, especially from Scarlett Johansson, are earning kudos, and some are hailing it as the best Jurᴀssic film since the original, lauding its summer blockbuster appeal and cinematic craftsmanship.

On the other hand, detractors are calling Rebirth uninspired, derivative, and narratively empty. Critics are arguing that it lacks originality, compelling characters, and purpose, with some calling it a cash-grab clone. Many feel the story is tired, and the franchise is creatively bankrupt. The film’s over-reliance on a safe formula, nostalgia, and forgettable execution is leaving some reviewers questioning its necessity altogether.

Our Take On Jurᴀssic World Rebirth’s Rotten Tomatoes Score

It Falls Well Short Of The Original

While its marketing campaign promised a bold return to the awe, terror, and wonder of Spielberg’s original 1993 classic, Jurᴀssic World Rebirth‘s Rotten Tomatoes score suggests that the new film falls well short – the final product stuck between homage and repeтιтion. Instead, Rebirth seems more in line with the previous two Jurᴀssic World movies, Fallen Kingdom (47%) and Dominion (29%). For now, it seems the franchise has yet to truly rediscover the DNA that made the original movie a cinematic landmark.
