Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

Oof. I know it’s more accurate to the real animal but that jp3 spino really wipes the floor with this one

I don't know why but after watching the teaser trailer, I didn't feel like I was watching anything even remotely connected to JP. I think the idea of a Dino movie still has legs but JP as a franchise needs to go sit on the shelf for 10 or 15 yrs.

Feel pretty 'meh' about this. Definitely not spending money on a ticket to see it. I predict it'll be another ho-hum entry to a franchise that is increasingly being used as a "monster of the week" episode from X-Files.

It's kinda sad that when I now think of JP, my mind immediately goes to "yeah, I'm not putting any money towards watching this".

Yeah, that is such a niche area where all that actually works. It's also helps to have the 4th wall barrier down which is again so unique to a handful of things. The Office did it well, Deadpool does it well...what else?

Moonlighting did it spectacularly well
Mel Brooks did it well, particularly in Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs
Scrubs, What We Do In The Shadows, Fleabag all great at it as well

I don't recall it in Moonlighting and hadn't thought about that show in years. I doubt I was a regular viewer but might have to dig it up. Good calls!

Not sure I can be bothered with yet another research focused "isolated island" setting. What this franchise desperately needs is to set the dinos loose in areas populated by humans...

This is what Dominion should have been, after the set up in Fallen Kingdom

Imagine a movie similar to "A Quiet Place", "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" or "The Last Of Us". Civilisation overrun by Dinosaurs and people struggling to live and adapt to it. Every day a fight for survival.

Sigh!

 

[Dark_Knight_89]

Hmmm? No. That wasn’t directed to you at all didn’t no you commented on the subject.

I was scrolling Tik tok comments of all places

And the comments were that “these aren’t dinosaurs they were akways monsters and freaks of nature”

Which isn’t true imo. Yes they aren’t really 100 percent dinosaurs but they aren’t mutant aliens either. They even said the book states that they aren’t Dinosaurs but mutants which is false. They state they aren’t accurate and that’s it.

Also many of the comments fail to realize that for that time those dinosaurs were as accurate as you can get. It’s the same thing for retro dinosaurs that were standing up right. That was the knowledge at the time

I got you

Also, I'm wondering how much of the inferiority of this image is down to the fact that mass market toys are crap compared to what they put out in the 90s!

I was born in 1989 so I was completely obsessed with Jurassic Park and the toys when they came out in '93 and '94. I still have the big red T-Rex, the Triceratops, the Ford Explorer, the Dilophosaurus, some Velociraptors, the Stegosaurus, muscular Nedry and Grant, etc. My 4 year old son now plays with them and has them on display in his room. The quality of those toys is phenomenal compared to this very join-y, seam-y, shiny plastic attempt of a toy.

I will do a separate thread, I love fourth wall stuff.

Like a Jurassic....World.

 

[ironwez20]

Small town . Overrun with dinosaurs. People have to escape but are being picked off. Villian dinosaur cuts power so no acess to the outside the world.
Story writes itself

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.

Another idea I've had, set further ahead in the timeline, is something between JWFK and JWD that centers around dinosaur sightings and encounters. Think a full length movie similar to Battle at Big Rock or the second half of the JWD prologue where the T-Rex wanders into the drive-in movie. Encounters like that. Perhaps ranchers are having to deal with the T-Rex attacking their livestock. Kids aren't safe to walk to school in a small town after a Carnotaurus or Ceratosaurus is sighted nearby. A fancy park gets destroyed by some Triceratops or sauropods that like grazing on a particular plant.

Or a shorter, simpler movie that features just a single dinosaur wreaking havoc. Think Lake Placid or Super 8, but replace the crocodile and alien with a dinosaur.

The possibilities are almost endless if they wanted to do something set in the post-JWFK era about dinosaur encounters in everyday life.

But yeah, I'm likely in the same age bracket as you and gravitate towards the first and second movies, and even the third. IMO, the dinosaurs shouldn't have ever left the islands.

Oi, yeah, I don't know what to think. It's worth noting that Jurassic toys have always been kind of cartoony and whether it be Kenner, Hasbro, or Mattel, they take creative liberties. The toys always look a lot softer than their movie counterpart. But still, we got a brief look at one Spino in the trailer when it's clinging to the side of the boat, and the big thick neck, short snout, and short arms don't seem nearly as threatening as the JP/// Spino.

 

[DEADDACK_33]

This is what Dominion should have been, after the set up in Fallen Kingdom

Agreed. I also find it interesting that after setting up dinosaurs on the mainland over the course of seven years, three movies, and one animated series, they've decided to walk away from it. It just feels so abrupt and almost renders anything from the second act of JWFK onwards to be pointless and irrelevant.

Imagine a movie similar to "A Quiet Place", "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" or "The Last Of Us". Civilisation overrun by Dinosaurs and people struggling to live and adapt to it. Every day a fight for survival.

I have seen others wanting the Jurassic franchise to go in this direction, but personally, it wasn't what I wanted for it. In reality, the military would've destroyed most of the dinosaurs in short order had they posed a serious threat to humans. They just wouldn't have been able to proliferate fast enough to pose a threat to the human race. But they definitely could've caused random problems here and there. I think that's why I liked Battle at Big Rock and the T-Rex wandering into the drive-in in the JWD prologue so much. Those encounters felt like real animal encounters that happen.

I remember once when I was quite young watching a bear wandering through the yard and not being at all alarmed. It was my first time seeing one and I thought it was so neat. My mom asked me what I was looking at and I said "just a bear" Not much different than the family in the RV watching the Nasutoceratops wander into the campground and the kids being all excited while the parents realize there is some potential danger right outside.

But of course, I have a different problem with the vast amounts of dinosaurs spread all around the world in JWD. In JWFK, we see a small handful get taken off of Nublar. Of those, a few are sold and a small group escape into the wild. Now I know there were also DNA samples being sold, but still, the sheer amount of dinosaurs in JWD never felt right. I always thought encounters with dinosaurs should've been a very rare thing that doesn't happen frequently.

You got that right. The toys from the first two movies are in a league of their own and I'm also of the opinion the toyline for TLW is one of the best toylines ever. That's awesome your son is playing with your old JP toys

I think part of it is back in those days there was no online shopping. Toys had to have a shelf presence at the store and had to be of decent quality because 99% of customers would get their hands on the toys in person before deciding to purchase or not. They had to look cool and they had to be cool. Whereas nowadays, there seems to be less emphasis put on presentation and even less on quality because physical stores only account for a portion of sales. It's easier to get away with poorly constructed seams, joints, screw holes, and shiny paintjobs with online sales.

I like the premise, the cinematography and effects looked good. ScarJo is hot but she's phoning it in. The dialog was pretty bad, after all the recent Marvel movies, I've had enough of quippy dialogue. At least this looks more interesting and scary than the past Jurassic World movies.

 

[slynger]

Pretty standard as far as trailers go. Nothing too exciting or things we haven’t already seen. Like others have said, dialogue needs some work. Between this, F4 and Superman, should be a fun July.
