>>213459633I wouldn’t call it a “comeback” per se, but it’s at least not as insultingly terrible as Fallen Kingdom or Dominion. I’ve never even been able to make it through Dominion, it’s so stupid. I always bail once they get to Morocco or wheverever that was, and it’s essentially Dino-Mos Eisley, all the way up to having a cantina with little fake ass little dinosaur muppets everywhere, and female black not-Han Solo, who’s supposed to be this rough-and-tumble combat pilot, but has perfect hair and makeup, and doesn’t have so much as a tiny smudge of dirt or grease on her designer clothing. I’m not even going to get into the retarded locust plot, the moronic idea of dinosaurs suddenly being everywhere after a handful of them were released at the end of Fallen Kingdom (they’re large lumbering land animals, not zombies), or cynically wheeling Ian Malcolm, Alan Grant, and Ellie Sattler out of the nursing home for cynical memberberries, almost as an answer to the Star Wars sequel trilogy refusing to give us even one scene of Han, Luke, and Leia reuniting.
Compared to that embarrassing slop, rebirth is perfectly adequate “people running from monsters” schlock, it you’re into that sort of thing. I would put it in the same category as something like JP3, or Alien Resurrection, or Terminator Salvation, in that it’s better than the absolute depths of shit that the franchise has fallen into in other entries, but doesn’t really reach any heights beyond “watchable”.
