The original Jurassic Park was a cautionary tale about man’s insatiable greed and hubristic desire to control nature. Its numerous follow-ups—each focused on humans traveling to remote areas populated by the planet’s resurrected prehistoric ancestors—have reiterated that point to diminishing returns.
Having grossed more than $6 billion at the global box office, the lucrative franchise is about, and driven by, a profit motive, and Jurassic World Rebirth, in theaters July 2, doesn’t alter that fundamental code, following a new group of avaricious adventurers as they put themselves in dino-harm’s way for financial gain. The underwhelming result is similar to its signature beasts: a handsome clone that serves no purpose except to line its creators’ pockets.
