This week, three films showcase strong female leads facing unforgiving adversaries: dinosaurs, cannibals, and corrupt health care firms. The standout film is Jurassic World: Rebirth, an entry in a long-standing franchise featuring Scarlett Johansson as a mercenary. While the film attempts to appeal to a broad audience, it suffers from trends of franchise fatigue. The alternative films highlight women in desperate scenarios, emphasizing raw characterizations and the grit involved in protecting loved ones in a harsh world.
Jurassic World: Rebirth represents a hollow product aimed at wide audiences, an attempt to revive dinomania as its appeal wanes through reliance on previous franchise elements like ‘from the world of’ gimmicks.
Scarlett Johansson plays Zora Bennett, a hyper-skilled mercenary tasked with retrieving blood from dinosaurs for an evil capitalist, reflecting the trend in films where powerful women confront dire threats.
