Dinosaurs are back. Again. And they’re angrier, louder, and stomping in 3D—but does that mean you should drop everything and rush to the theatres? Jurassic World: Rebirth, the seventh installment in the iconic dino franchise, has finally hit screens with a fresh cast, bigger visuals, and the same bone-chilling roars we’ve loved (and feared) for decades. But does it live up to its colossal legacy or just recycle old fossils?
Let’s bite into this prehistoric beast of a film.
Same Roar, New Mission: Storytime in Rebirth
Directed by Gareth Edwards (yes, the mind behind Godzilla, The Creator, and Monsters), Jurassic World: Rebirth kicks off on an isolated island with a group of scientists on a high-stakes mission. Their goal? To extract DNA samples from three powerful dino species—the aquatic Mosasaurus, the massive land-based Titanosaurus, and a fierce flying predator.

Why? Not for a Jurassic theme park this time—but to save millions of human lives through cutting-edge genetic science. Yep, we’re going full sci-fi.
Meanwhile, a regular tourist family—just out for some chill sea vibes—gets caught in this chaotic clash between science and primeval predators. Emotional moments with the family add a softer, more human touch to the otherwise action-packed narrative.
The Roaring Cast: Familiar Faces, Fresh Energy
While the original cast has bid goodbye, the new ensemble breathes fresh life into the franchise. Scarlett Johansson brings her signature intensity, Mahershala Ali adds gravitas, and Jonathan Bailey (of Bridgerton fame) is a delightful surprise. Joining them are Rupert Friend, Luna Blaise, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and a whole lineup of strong performers, each holding their own against a screen full of VFX-heavy chaos.
And let’s just say this: the dinosaurs aren’t the only ones with bite in this movie.
The Good, the Not-So-Dino-Mite, and the Goosebumps
Here’s the thing: if you’re a die-hard Jurassic fan who gets goosebumps at the first note of that nostalgic theme music, this film will hit all the right buttons. The original John Williams score has been beautifully woven into the new soundtrack, and it tugs at your heart like a lost childhood memory.

Visually, it’s a treat. The VFX and CGI are high-quality, immersive, and convincing enough to make you question whether you’re safe in your seat. The Hindi dubbing is surprisingly well-done, capturing both emotion and urgency.
But (and it’s a big dino-sized but)…
The first half of the film is a slow burn, spending a little too much time on setup and backstories. While that helps with emotional engagement, fans expecting back-to-back action may grow a little restless. Also, if you’re watching with high expectations for scientific complexity or plot innovation—this might feel like familiar territory, just in shinier packaging.
Does It Deliver the Masala?
Sort of. There’s action, nostalgia, and eye-popping spectacle, but don’t expect any path-breaking storytelling. It’s a popcorn entertainer with emotional beats and dramatic slow-mo dino chases. Think of it as your classic Bollywood masala flick—just replace the villains with velociraptors.
The climax packs a punch, with twists, destruction, and hero moments that earn their applause. And like every film in the franchise, it ends on an open note, teasing more chaos, more creatures, and possibly a wilder Jurassic future.
