Jurassic World: Rebirth is the newest movie in the famous Jurassic Park series. Released in July 2025, this film takes the story in a new direction. It is the seventh movie in the entire Jurassic franchise and follows the events after the destruction of Isla Nublar in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and the world-changing chaos in Dominion.
Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, the screenwriter of the original Jurassic Park (1993), this movie brings fresh energy to the series while staying true to its classic dinosaur roots.
Story and Setting
Jurassic World: Rebirth is set in a world where dinosaurs now live alongside humans. After the chaos caused by the spread of dinosaurs around the globe, humanity tries to survive and find balance. But things aren’t peaceful for long.
The movie focuses on a new story with new characters. Scientists have created a secret biome, a contained environment in the middle of a remote desert. They want to study dinosaurs in a more controlled space. But, as always in Jurassic films, nature cannot be controlled forever.
Things go wrong when the dinosaurs escape into the outside world again. The situation turns dangerous quickly, and the race to survive begins once more. The film explores the question: Can humans and dinosaurs ever live together safely?
Cast and Characters
This movie introduces a new cast, breaking away from the older characters like Owen Grady and Claire Dearing.
- Scarlett Johansson plays Dr. Savannah Walker, a brilliant geneticist who wants to undo the mistakes of the past.
- Jonathan Bailey plays Daniel Blackwood, a security expert trying to keep the biome under control.
- Mahershala Ali plays Commander Reid, a military officer who wants to destroy the dinosaurs before they take over again.
- Manuel Garcia-Rulfo plays a former animal trainer who works with the dinosaurs.
- Luna Blaise plays a teenage tech genius helping the team monitor dino behavior.
There are no appearances from Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, or the original trio (Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Ian Malcolm) in this film, making Rebirth a fresh chapter.
Director and Vision
Gareth Edwards, known for directing Godzilla (2014) and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, brings a darker and more realistic tone to the movie. He wanted the dinosaurs to feel scarier again — more like predators and less like pets or friends.
The film balances action, fear, and emotional depth. It returns to the feeling of the original Jurassic Park, where the dinosaurs were both beautiful and terrifying.
Themes
Jurassic World: Rebirth focuses on several important themes:
- Nature vs. science: Can humans ever truly control nature? The movie shows that even the smartest scientists can’t always predict what nature will do.
- Responsibility: The characters must face the results of actions made decades earlier — cloning dinosaurs and using them for profit or power.
- Survival: Once again, humans are not at the top of the food chain. The movie shows how fragile civilization can be when nature strikes back.
Visual Effects and Dinosaurs
The visual effects in Rebirth are some of the best in the franchise. The dinosaurs look extremely real, thanks to a mix of CGI and animatronics (robotic models).
Some new dinosaurs introduced include:
- Gigantoraptor – A huge, fast, feathered predator.
- Pachyrhinosaurus – A strange-looking herbivore with horns.
- Mosasaurus – The giant sea reptile returns in a jaw-dropping ocean scene.
- Therizinosaurus – A feathered dinosaur with long claws and a mysterious nature.
These creatures are shown in both action and peaceful scenes, making them feel like real animals — not just monsters.
Action and Suspense
The movie is full of suspenseful moments. From jungle chases to underwater escapes and night-time scenes where dinosaurs stalk the characters, the tension stays high. A standout moment includes a scene where a small group is trapped inside a broken-down tram system while a pack of raptors hunts them.
Unlike previous movies, this one avoids too many comedy scenes. It is more serious in tone and focuses on fear and survival, similar to a thriller.
Music and Sound
The soundtrack, composed by Lorne Balfe, includes a fresh theme but also uses the classic Jurassic Park music by John Williams in key moments. This brings back nostalgia for fans of the original movie.
The roars and footsteps of the dinosaurs are loud and intense. The sound design helps build fear and excitement, especially in scenes with little dialogue.
Reception
Jurassic World: Rebirth received a mix of reviews:
- Many fans praised it for returning to the roots of the franchise — serious tone, darker story, and realistic dinosaurs.
- Critics liked the new cast, especially Scarlett Johansson’s performance, and the visual style by Gareth Edwards.
- Some viewers felt the movie was too serious or missed the charm of the earlier Jurassic World films.
Still, the film became a box office hit, especially among fans who had grown up with the series and wanted something deeper and scarier.
Box Office and Future Plans
Rebirth had a strong opening week, earning over $180 million worldwide. It is expected to pass $500 million in total earnings, showing that the franchise is still alive and popular.
Although Rebirth was marketed as a fresh start, there are hints that it could begin a new trilogy. Director Gareth Edwards has said that he’s open to returning for a sequel, especially if the story focuses on how humans adapt in a dinosaur-controlled world.
Final Thoughts
Jurassic World: Rebirth is not just another dinosaur movie. It’s a serious, thrilling, and emotional chapter that reboots the franchise with new energy. By choosing new characters and returning to a realistic tone, the movie offers something fresh for longtime fans and new viewers.
If you love dinosaurs, suspense, and stories about science gone wrong, Jurassic World: Rebirth is worth watching. It reminds us once again that life — and danger — always finds a way.
