This is all a windup to this: “Jurassic World Rebirth” tries very hard to evoke that same moment of awe. But in the story, the ubiquity of the dinosaurs has left humanity feeling bored and annoyed, cutting the feet out from under those moments. And it’s starting to feel like the movies are getting bored, too.

Summer 2025 has its first hit courtesy of Gareth Edwards, who has filled his Jurassic World: Rebirth with dazzling movie magic that sinks into your heart and reminds you of why we go to the movies.

Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali co-star in Jurassic World Rebirth, a thrilling and clever reboot of the series.
