Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

All I know is it better not kill the trex . That will make the movie unwatchable for me. The trope is tired and dead. The Rex better show up in the water battle and not get killed off to show how big and scary this new dino is but it might cause that’s how every jp movie past the lost world has done it

100%. The new T-Rex looks great, but that isn't enough. It's needs to have some awesome moments of its own, not be a bystander, and not get beaten up by the mutant or another dinosaur.

Ideally, it has no less than two meaningful scenes, kills someone, and isn't belittled in any way. IMO.

yes. this is pretty much the best rex we have seen in awhile.

Perhaps the Rex puts that mutant thing out of its misery and remains the hero of the franchise?

Hopefully one day someone has the conviction to properly start over. At this point, I'm open to a new interpretation of the original novel. Or even a bare-bones sequel to the novel, with a gritty survival plot with just a single "big bad" T-Rex and some raptors as the antagonists. Something that feels like what Prey did for The Predator franchise; not necessarily a prequel, but a similar starkness.

Agreed. I've always thought there's a lot of potential for cool stories set between JP and TLW, or TLW and JP///. Separate stories that add to the existing canon without retconning anything.

Some of the things I can think of off the top of my head:

-BioSyn sends a team to Nublar hours after the accident to try and retrieve the Barbasol can or retrieve DNA samples from the lab. They meet an InGen team sent to combat anyone who might take advantage of the accident and the predictable chaos ensues.

-InGen sends a team to Nublar a year after the accident, to determine whether the lysine contingency worked or not. Perhaps this is preceeded by an unknown animal attack in a nearby region of Costa Rica, which motivates InGen to confirm whether their creations are contained and dead/dying or alive and well and spreading, and if so, get an inventory of assets.

-InGen's illegal cloning on Sorna after the events of TLW.

-A live action adaptation of Trespasser. This would be a good fit for the gritty survival plot you mention, with just a T-Rex and some Velociraptors.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I'm not sure they'd go that route as a T-Rex has already been involved in two final fights in the past three movies. Three times altogether. It would be a predictable outcome and something they'll likely avoid this time around. Then again, I'm bringing logic into the conversation about movies that have been anything but logical lately, so who knows

What I really don't want is the T-Rex, should it battle the mutant at the end, to be helped by another dinosaur. The JW final fight was over the top but I can stomach it. The JWD final fight felt very anticlimactic with the Therizino randomly rocking up. I don't know why they couldn't give Rexy her moment to shine in an epic rematch. It would've made the prologue much more meaningful IMO.

Agreed. Show the T-Rex the proper respect, it's the franchise logo after all!

NGL, every one of your rough storyline ideas has me more excited than what we're getting. That might speak more to my age though, and reverence for the first and by extension, 2nd film.

I pray for that honeslty

You’ve been gone for awhile.

I had nothing to say movie wise lol

Well that was underwhelming. I had semi-high hopes for this with the return to an island adventure, but nothing about this seems particularly fun or thrilling. And the CG dinosaurs don't inspire the least amount of wonder anymore. They're just another CG creature chasing people around in a scifi summer blockbuster.
