Really liked Rebirth. Curious what they can do with proper development time.

Same. I was pleasantly surprised at how Rebirth worked with such little prep time. Though the bar was very low with Dominion.

Definitely interested in what they can do visually with Edwards there at the beginning.

I found Rebirth extremely meh. But I do like Edwards as a director so hopefully him being involved from the start helps.

I mean it clearly had the proper development time. Amazing what you can do without announcing it before you even have a concept of a plan. They had a script ready to go, with a lot of pre production done. Its likely why Lietch dropped out, because he wanted to make to many changes that would require a delay.

Rebirth was about as mediocre as modern blockbusters go but it made money so I'm not surprised about this. I'll say the same thing I've said since Fallen Kingdom, "I'll be cautiously hopeful it can't be the worse than the last one" and hopefully they won't disappoint me with the 4th movie in a row.

This was a nice group of leads to spend a couple hours with, which is far more than I can say for the previous cast, so while I can't say I'm hyped, I will say I'm looking forward to this sequel more than the other World's, at any rate.

You think Rebirth was worse then Dominion?

I'm sure there are no shallow reasons attached to this.

Hey the boys and the lesbians got Scarlett. Let the straight ladies and gays have some fun.

How could I forget that Bryce Dallas Howard was far too fat to achieve this.

Not even all that cake and Daniella Pineda for one flick could save those movies.

I just remembered they had Katie McGrath is the first one. Hollywood, do better by my wife.

I recognize that Johansson, Ali and Bailey are charismatic and likeable enough to somehow made their (non) characters kind of work and being automatically more competent leads than Pratt and Dallas Howard but... I just found that movie so rough to watch.

Maybe I live on Earth-2, but as bad as the modern trilogy was, Rebirth –while certainly more entertaining– felt actually kind of worse to me.
The Snickers wrapper that puts a laboratory security system out of whack, the very “video game”-like quest to collect dinosaur blood from various elements, that obnoxious stoner guy, the cartoon scene where he's peeing, the caricatured businessman antagonist, that incredibly silly dialogue between characters who are talking about their past that I could swear was generated by ChatGPT, everything about the D-Rex (made me wonder what that "d" really stand for)...

I get that the franchise, by pursuing Spielberg's adaptation, has nothing left to say about the original subtext and is now forced to dive hard into pulp adventures. And I can accept that.
In fact, several scenes in the film reminded me of how I used to play “Jurassic Park” in the bush as a kid in the 90s, which mainly involved running around, hiding, and shooting like crazy with my wooden rifle..
But I'm convinced it all could be done with more care and rigor.

The film otherwise had some cool and atmospheric visual, but since it is the seventh installment and cost millions of dollars to make, I can't consider this much a feat. Yet, Edward still managed to have his creatures' height change very noticeably from one shot to another, adding confusion to the occasional consternation.

Anyway... All this rambling won't matter anymore when I go back to the movies in two years.
