Jurassic World Rebirth held its world premiere in London last night, and the first social media reactions for this latest entry in Universal's roaringly successful franchise have been shared online.
There are only a handful of reactions so far, but aside from one vaguely negative post, it sounds like the studio may have delivered a return to form after the widely panned Jurassic World Dominion.
The initial response to most major studio movies does tend to lean positive (if not outright glowing), and since we only have a few posts to go by (we'll update as more come in), we obviously won't have a balanced consensus on the movie until the full reviews drop.
Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.
Academy Award nominee Scarlett Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
Jurassic World Rebirth also stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed Skrein. Edwards directs from a script by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
Jurassic World Rebirth is set to release in theaters on July 2.
