'Jurassic World Rebirth' releases on digital this week: Where to watch
It's dinos vs. humans once again with the release of "Jurassic World Rebirth," the seventh film in the popular franchise.
In the five years after the events of "Jurassic World Dominion," the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs and those remaining only exist in "isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived," the film's synopsis says.
"The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind," it adds.
Zora Bennett (Scarlet Johansson) is tasked to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material.
Paste BN's Brian Truitt gave the film ★★½ out of four, writing "director Gareth Edwards at least tries something different by throwing a heist movie into the usual perilous adventure."
"But homages to Steven Spielberg’s 1993 original, a starry cast (including Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Oscar winner Mahershala Ali) and dinos aplenty can only do so much when saddled with generic characters and a rickety plot," Truitt says, adding "this franchise probably should have been extinct a while ago. We’re stuck with it, though, so might as well go with the pterosaur flow."
Here is what to know about the digital release for "Jurassic World Rebirth," and when it will be available to stream.
