Jurassic World IV

up feeling more like a rerun than a revival. While the franchise name still carries weight, this entry struggles to balance nostalgia with new ideas. The dinosaurs? Still awesome. The visual effects are sharp, and there are a couple of pulse-pounding chase sequences that remind you why giant reptiles never go out of style. But when it comes to story and characters, the film doesn't dig deep. We’re introduced to a few fresh faces, but they mostly fall into familiar archetypes—either screaming, running, or making questionable decisions in the name of science. Plot-wise, it throws in genetic twists, corporate greed, and moral dilemmas—but it’s all been done before, and better. The pacing drags in the middle, and the emotional beats don’t quite land the way they’re meant to. Even the dinosaurs seem to be going through the motions at times. Rebirth has its moments, especially if you're in it for the dino mayhem. But it lacks the soul and tension that made earlier entries roar. Fun in short bursts, forgettable in the long run.
