Review 'JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH': Not Just Ordinary Nostalgia

Kapanlagi.com - SPOILER ALERT!!! DO NOT READ THIS ARTICLE IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED OR IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SPOILED !!!

Many netizens have stated that the last two films in the Jurassic Park franchise are considered to have failed to meet the high expectations set by the first film JURASSIC PARK in 1993, leaving a bland impression among fans and critics.

JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH, which is currently showing in all cinemas in Indonesia at the time of this article's release, promises an experience that is closer to the first film that aired three decades ago compared to its two predecessors. With a fresher creative approach, enhanced horror elements, and direction from someone skilled in the monster genre, this film is touted to bring back the glory of this franchise.

This film returns to the main setting on a research island, an island that was initially unused because it was inhabited by dinosaurs deemed too dangerous. This reminds us of the original concept of Jurassic Park, which is thick with survival themes. Unlike the last two films FALLEN KINGDOM & WORLD DOMINION that showcased dinosaurs in big cities, this time the audience will be invited to dive back into the real threats in the natural habitat of dinosaurs.

KLovers, here is the review of JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH from the KapanLagi editorial team. For those of you who haven't watched it or don't want to get too many spoilers, you can stop here.

1. Nostalgia of the First Film

Audiences who followed from the first film are immediately brought back to nostalgia in the early part of the film. Compared to previous films, JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH uses many adaptations from the first film. This makes franchise enthusiasts expect that this film is undoubtedly better than some of the last films.

The excitement is sweetened by the presence of the Reuben family along with his two daughters, Teresa and Isabella. Not just nostalgia, this latest installment of the franchise provides a more humane touch, more than just a chase between humans and dinosaurs.

2. Flat at the Beginning, Starts with a Bang in the Middle

For KLovers who want tension throughout the film, you should lower your expectations as the first half hour of this film does not present thrilling action and the plot tends to be slow. In fact, some audience members were observed to be sleepy at the beginning of the film.

However, slowly the intensity increases in the middle of the film and immediately meets most of the expectations of ticket buyers for this film directed by Gareth Edwards.

3. Scarlett Johansson The Five-Star Actress

Scarlett Johansson plays Zora Bennett, a secret agent who takes on dangerous missions and becomes the main face of this film. Acting alongside well-known names like Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali, and Rupert Friend, the 40-year-old woman is capable of bringing a new dimension to this film.

Her dedication is beyond doubt. Without undermining the previous film stars, the writer states that if the main character were not played by Scarlett Johansson, this film could potentially lose its essence. Five out of five stars are awarded to Scarlett Johansson in this film, similar to her role in the movie LUCY where she had a central role.

4. An Ending That Feels Incomplete

The final scene that should have made this film perfect actually comes off as less realistic. This is quite unfortunate because the audience was already satisfied with the thrilling and intense adventure scenes. However, at the end of the film, there is a plot hole that leaves a lingering feeling when leaving the studio.

5. Editor's Rating

This film is one of the recommended films for the school holiday season. A score of 7.5 out of 10 is given to the film, which has its script rewritten by David Koepp after 30 years. KLovers can witness an exciting and tense adventure, although at the beginning of the film it feels slow and provides a rather unsatisfying ending.
