Another critic, Joseph Tomastik, gave “Jurassic World Rebirth” a rating of three out of five. According to him, “Nothing about this movie feels like anything close to a grand ‘rebirth.’” Tessa Smith noted, “Even great-looking dinosaurs and some fun action sequences cannot save the slop of a story. It was impossible to connect with or care about any of the humans.”
Of course, there are some positive reactions to the new “Jurassic” movie. Tony Medley said, “This movie is a joy⦠featuring fine acting by a talented cast, overflowing with tension and magnificent, mind-boggling special effects. I donât recall one slow moment after the first half hour.”
Todd Gilchrist left a positve review. He said, “Jurassic World Rebirth operates in a more classical mode than the interconnected mythmaking of too many modern franchises, as Edwards nakedly wears his influences (and wields his technical virtuosity) to tremendously crowd-pleasing effect.”
“Jurassic World Rebirth” Budget and Box Office Tracking
Despite the somewhat mixed reaction from critics, there’s a chance moviegoers will love “Jurassic World Rebirth.” This is important because movies often live or die based on word of mouth from other fans.Â
Regarding the movie’s budget, ScreenRant reports that it cost approximately $180 million to produce. Of course, this figure does not include marketing costs.
