Our Take On Jurassic World Rebirth’s Rotten Tomatoes Score
It Falls Well Short Of The Original
While its marketing campaign promised a bold return to the awe, terror, and wonder of Spielberg’s original 1993 classic,Jurassic World Rebirth’s Rotten Tomatoes score suggests that the new film falls well short – the final product stuck between homage and repetition. Instead,Rebirthseems more in line with the previous twoJurassic Worldmovies,Fallen Kingdom(47%) andDominion(29%). For now, it seems the franchise has yet to truly rediscover the DNA that made the original movie a cinematic landmark.
