Monday Movie Mania - Jurassic World: Rebirth

There's a few movies DH and I saw over the summer that for various reasons, I didn't have a chance to write a review while they were still in the theater. Too be frank, you're better off watching Jurassic World: Rebirth at home because it isn't worth the money for the movie ticket.

PROS
1) I had high hopes for this one when the executives cast Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey. All three actors make unique career choices that usually live me delighted. However, I do not blame amy of them for the mess that is this movie.

CONS
1) Quite frankly, I don't know what David Koepp was smoking when he wrote this, but he needs to stop. The story is such a mish-mash. It's not sure if it wants to be a horror movie, a corporate espionage thriller, or a family friendly lark. I don't normally have a problem with genre blending, but it has to make sense. At least in Jurassic Park III, the dumbass stepdad could be blamed for doing something stupid and illegal to score cool points with his stepson.

2) If I want mutant monsters, I'd watch a Resident Evil movie. Dinosaurs are threatening enough without mutating them.

3) Why the hell would mercs want to open source a cure for heart disease? They lost their friends, their equipment, and their payday. No real reason was given for them to go along with the nerdy scientist hero.


Overall, this is one of those movies that not even so bad it's funny. I give Jurassic World: Rebirth 5 stars out of 10.

And to Mr. Steven Spielberg, if your employees can't come up with a better story, please stop making Jurassic World movies.
