The promotional campaign for “Jurassic World: Rebirth” has kicked off with premieres in London and Berlin. What are the initial thoughts from the audience on this summer’s blockbuster featuring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali?
The latest installment in the saga started by Steven Spielberg in 1993, “Jurassic World: Renaissance,” is set to hit theaters on July 2. However, Universal has already begun its promotional campaign with the European premiere taking place in London on June 17. Early reviews for the film directed by Gareth Edwards, known for his work on Godzilla, Rogue One, and The Creator, have been revealed. According to initial feedback, this new chapter aligns more closely with the original trilogy than Colin Trevorrow’s films.
Starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and Audrina Miranda, the film is penned by original screenwriter David Koepp and takes place five years after “The World After.” The planet’s environment has become hostile for most dinosaurs. The remaining ones live in isolated equatorial zones, conditions akin to their original era. Among these formidable creatures, three specimens may hold the key to a remedy that could alter humanity’s fate.
Discover the first impressions of one of the summer’s most anticipated films.
“Ladies and gentlemen… the most beautiful Jurassic film of all time! This is a true visual feast, even without the dinosaurs!”
“Jurassic World Rebirth is all you could hope for. The plot might be a bit far-fetched, but honestly, who cares. The film is gorgeous, the dinosaurs are INCREDIBLE, and Jonathan Bailey may just be one of my new favorite actors. My heart was pounding, and there was a moment when I was so overjoyed I wanted to applaud.”
“Jurassic World Rebirth is a success! Gareth Edwards knew exactly how to bring a Jurassic story to the screen. I love the ‘old-school’ movie magic of the original film. As the years passed, the franchise has increasingly utilized digital effects. Rebirth is indeed packed with spectacular scenes heavy on special effects, but these digital elements work exceptionally well here because Edwards knew precisely how to preserve the realistic, almost tangible texture—especially by opting to shoot in real locations and on film.”
“For those curious: Mahershala Ali, Scarlett Johansson, and Jonathan Bailey form a golden trio of leads. The characters Duncan and Zora, portrayed by Ali and Scarlett, exhibit a depth and sensitivity that takes you by surprise. The comparison to Jaws is justified… but here, it’s even better.”
“Jurassic World Rebirth is a resounding triumph and a perfect entry into the franchise. I adored all the new dinosaurs, and some are truly terrifying. Get ready to fall in love with Dolores. I loved it! What a beautiful tribute to the original.”
