In Jurassic World Rebirth. Director Gareth Edwards
teams up with Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey,
and Mahershala Ali for a dinosaur adventure that
feels overly familiar. The film bars heavily
from Steven Spielberg's iconic 1993 film, lacking
new creativity. In one scene, a giant titanosaurus
grazes in the jungle, accompanied by a nostalgic
score, but this moment simply echoes past glory.
The plot revolves around a pharmaceutical company
using dinosaur blood to cure heart disease, yet
the characters are unlikable and the pacing is
sluggish. Overall, Rip Earth disappoints, failing
to engage audiences meaningfully. Well, alrighty

the closed door that we do not see the one which
is open for us. And that's a wrap for this morning.
