David McK (3623 KP) rated Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) in Movies

Aug 3, 2025 (Updated Aug 3, 2025)

This is the fourth Jurassic World film, making it the seventh in the series as a whole.

IF I was to rate all 7, probably be something like:

Superb (Jurassic Park), Very Good (The Lost World), Good (Jurassic Park 3), Very good (Jurassic World), OK (Fallen Kingdom), Poor (Dominion), Good (Rebirth).

Basically, every 4th film almost seems to 'reset' the franchise as a whole, with the next 2 films increasing poor until the next reset.

This one, then, clearly takes its inspiration from the original: while Dinosaurs are now part of the ecology of the planet, the majority of this takes place on a remote island where they are able to roam free and from where the heroes of the piece spend most of their time trying to escape.

good depiction of French penal islands amazing pidgeon island scene shows more of Henri's life than the more up to date version whilst being a prisoner. (0 more)

deviation from key parts in the book, (0 more)

Excellent yet misleading

This movie is great, I am a huge fan of papillon and this film shows a good reflection of the penal islands and various escape attempts. The film is no where near as good as the books and veers away from charrieres account in which can be annoying if you have read the book first as you sit there and think we'll that's not right that never happened. despite this it's still worth a watch especially for the pigeon island scene.

With some solid acting and a twist that continues to shock audiences today, The Mist is a movie for all Stephen king fans.

The thinking man's Saw :P

If you thought the Saw films were too gory and scary but you liked the idea, then this film is for you!
A group of individuals are invited to participate in a new escape room and quickly find themselves thrown into it without warning. There is a good mix of characters, the commonality between whom soon becomes clear. The puzzles themselves start well but quickly become quite vague and it becomes hard to accept that the people could solve them in the circumstances they are in. Also some of them just don't make any sense, so anyone solving them just seems ridiculous.
An enjoyable thriller with potential for more films.
