Jurassic World Rebirth early reactions praise the new movie’s Steven Spielberg vibes, mutated dinosaurs, and for bringing the scares back.

Following its premiere, the first reactions to Jurassic World Rebirth have surfaced on social media. Check out a few of them below:

@PNemiroff writes, “#JurassicWorldRebirth is a winner! Gareth Edwards knew just how to bring a Jurassic story to screen. I adore the practical movie magic of the original film. Over the years, the franchise has embraced more CGI. Rebirth is indeed loaded with effects-heavy set pieces, but those digital elements work especially well here because Edwards knew exactly how to ensure the film still had that reach-out-and-touch-it texture — particularly by choosing to film in real locations and shoot the movie on film.”

@LionJurassic writes, “If you’re a fan of The Lost World: Jurassic Park, or Fallen Kingdom’s Isla Nublar scenes, you’ll love Rebirth. This is the most Spielberg like directed Jurassic World film with a tight contained story. Atm: I love it“

@maudegarrett writes, “#JurassicWorldRebirth throws so much at you as you enter the Dino-riddled seas & lands that the tension sits with you throughout. Although a few too many moments were predictable, and others either cute or cringe, it’s a fun time loaded with nostalgia & jumps #JurassicWorld“

@AndreSaintAlbin writes, “#JurassicWorldRebirth is an absolutely dino-charged spectacle that’ll leave you roaring with excitement! Gareth Edwards crafts a Spielberg-esque thriller packed with visuals, terrifying dinosaurs, and anxiety filled action sequences that will have you in its grasps. Jonathan Bailey is a standout, stealing scenes with charisma (watch some of his lines, trust me!), the film captures the nostalgic spirit of Jurassic Park with clever callbacks and song cues that’ll make your inner kid cheer. The new dinosaurs, from majestic (memes + Dolores plushies otw) to menacing, are unforgettable. A must-see big-screen adventure for every Jurassic fan, but heads-up: intense dismemberment + gore might spook younger kids!“

​​​​​@theFLICKpick writes, “#JurassicWorldRebirth had a solid concept—mutated dinosaurs on a new island. I was intrigued. But the movie just feels blah. It’s a string of forgettable scenes that go nowhere. One river sequence stood out, but the rest blurs together. The characters are dull, there’s zero chemistry, and I found myself rooting for the dinosaurs just to feel something. The story plays out like a studio checklist—nothing gets explored, and there’s no heart in it. Some of the dino designs bring back that old monster-movie vibe, but the film barely uses them. It just ends, with no momentum, no setup, and no excitement for where this franchise is headed. It’s not as awful as the last few, but still feels empty.“

@TheConnorWeb writes, “#JurassicWorldRebirth is everything you want. The plot can be silly but who cares. The film is gorgeous, the dinosaurs are AWESOME, and Jonathan Bailey may be one of my new favorite actors. My heart was racing and there was a moment where I was so happy I wanted to cheer.“

@JoshuaKekana writes, “#JurassicWorldRebirth is my favourite Jurassic World and has the vibes of the original Jurassic Park.”

@CabooseEK writes, “Got to check out #JurassicWorldRebirth tonight and had a really good time with it. Was happy to see dinosaur’s be scary again. Gareth Edwards does a great job and making you feel the scale of these things and presents them in such a terrifying way. Some great set pieces too!“

@TheMikeWinkler writes, “#JurassicWorldRebirth was a lot of fun and had all the Jurassic feels. It doesn’t advance the overall story much, but the story here is interesting, and the characters are good. It felt like the original trilogy, which made me very happy. One scene in particular gave me chills.”

@DravenReacts writes, “#JurassicWorldRebirth is a fantastic addition to the franchise, delivering everything you want and MORE! From the action to the cinematography, Gareth Edwards knows how to craft a great dinosaur movie. This one captures the spirit of the originals and pulls you right back in.”
