Jurassic World Rebirth is anticipated to generate over a billion dollars at the box office, similar to its predecessor, Jurassic World Dominion, despite poor critical reception. The film follows plotlines filled with excessive exposition, showcasing prehistoric creatures that coexisted with humans after prior films’ events. Critics are seen as irrelevant within an ongoing cycle of blockbuster films dominated by large budgets and familiar tropes. Audience reactions indicate a disconnect, with viewers still celebrating films that receive poor reviews, highlighting the relentless nature of franchise filmmaking in Hollywood.
Despite unanimous critical consensus that the franchise's previous film Jurassic World Dominion (2022) is execrable, it still made somewhere around $1.4 billion.
Jurassic World Rebirth, like Dominion, isn't even really a dinosaur movie anyway. It uses overly expository TV news coverage to catch us up on the prehistoric creatures.
At the end of my screening for Rebirth, a movie that sucked shit, the audience clapped. This is the march of progress unabated, manifest in franchises that never end.
There will always be another Jurassic movie, another summer blockbuster overrun by more immense and scarier monsters than the last one.
