Welcome Back to Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park is back with the seventh installment of the franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth. This film is a standalone sequel to Jurassic World: Domination. A standalone sequel is when a film follows the same concept of the films that came before it, but does not continue the plot or have the same cast. The film is centered in a world where dinosaurs live around the equator, which provides the last viable climate for them to survive. A team travels to an island that houses a research facility to collect samples of three of the largest prehistoric animals. Overall, the plot of the film was engaging and kept eyes on the screen throughout the whole film. Audiences are intrigued by whether the characters will get hurt by the dinosaurs, what will happen to the family that was abandoned on a shipwreck, and if the team will get the samples. The pacing of the film was slow at times, especially towards the middle of the film. But it quickly gets to the action on the island with scenes of dinosaur attacks and adventuring to find samples of dinosaur DNA. This is the first film where the T. rex does not get into a fight with another dinosaur, which was a welcome change. This installment of Jurassic World is full of betrayals, laughs, cries, and heart-stopping moments. It is different than the other installments because it is not about hunting down the dinosaurs to stop them from attacking people, but now to find them and get samples of their DNA for scientific purposes. 

A Star-Studded Cast of Dinosaur Enthusiasts

The newest Jurassic World film introduces a new cast of characters into the universe. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, and Ed Skrein. Scarlett Johansson (The Avengers, Fly Me to the Moon) plays Zora Bennett, who is an expert on concealing the identity of a person involved in an undercover operation. Johansson’s acting creates a strong atmosphere of leadership for her character. She shows that her character is at first apprehensive of the proposition of going to track down dinosaurs, but then, throughout the adventure, she becomes the unintentional leader. The best part of Johansson’s acting throughout the film is that the audience can feel her emotions if Zora is doing the right thing by helping Martin Krebs. Krebs is played by Rupert Friend (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Anatomy of a Scandal). Martin Krebs is a representative for a pharmaceutical company, ParkerGenix. Friend’s character Krebbs becomes the villain of the story. Friend’s acting ensures the audience knows that he will do whatever it takes to get the dinosaur samples for his company.
