The film is a standalone sequel to 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion and the seventh instalment overall in the Jurassic Park franchise and it arrived in cinemas worldwide on Wednesday (July 2).
Based on a screenplay by David Koepp, who co-wrote the original 1993 film, Rebirth is directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Godzilla, Rogue One).
Set five years after the events of Dominion, it tells the story of a pharmaceutical company who hire a covert-ops specialist Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) to lead an expedition to a quarantined island that once hosted Jurassic Park experiments.
Mahershala Ali plays Zora’s team leader Duncan, while Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Ed Skrein co-star.
The film’s first critical reactions praised the “majestic” new film as “a perfect entry into the franchise”, while in March, Johansson revealed she refused to join Instagram to promote the film, having previously said she felt too “fragile” to use the platform.
In a two-star review of Jurassic World Dominion, NME wrote: “The cast try gamely, with old hands Dern, Neill and Goldblum the best of the bunch. But they have such risible dialogue to say that you can’t help feeling sorry for them. Some genuinely exciting action sequences save Jurassic World Dominion from being a complete turkey – a thrilling raptor versus motorbike chase is one of the highlights. Otherwise, the trilogy exits with a whimper rather than a roar.”
Every song on the Jurassic World Rebirth soundtrack
The film features an original score from the celebrated composer Alexandre Desplat, known for his work on Harry Potter, Godzilla, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Twilight and The Shape Of Water.
That score also includes a clarinet solo played by Jonathan Bailey, who plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis in the film. When Edwards informed him that Desplat was recording the score in Abbey Road Studios, he decided to drop by. “As the week progressed,” Bailey said, “I came back and I was like, ‘Can I bring my clarinet?’ I played the clarinet in school.” The actor beamed: “This really was the highlight of my career. The nerd in me erupted like Vesuvius”.
In addition, the film also includes three key needle drop moments:
Primal Scream – ‘Movin’ On Up
Vampire Weekend – ‘Harmony Hall’
Ben E. King – ‘Stand By Me’
