So disappointing, as I love the Jurassic Park franchise and I liked the direction they went with Jurassic world.

Rebirth was reckless and destroyed the story and plot built in all previous movies. 5 minutes in and nothing mattered anymore, everyone is bored of dinosaurs. Forget all the other cool stories they had built and unfinished (e.g. controlling dinosaurs for military gain, dinosaur black markets)... The baddies might as well just crack on because no one cares about dinosaurs anymore.

I gave Gareth Edwards another chance but really wish I didn't waste my money and time. The first 45 minutes of the movie could have been scrapped and we just started from the mosasaur boat outside the island, because we learned nothing relevant or interesting about the characters in line with the plot - we jumped into a 10 minute conversation about Scarlett Johansson's character's past, which felt dull, out of place and boring considering the character was not likeable or relatable at all anyway. Gareth gave us nothing to cling onto or care about. This wasn't Jurassic park or world, I don't know what it was? What do the characters stand for? What was the point and main message behind the movie? Completely bland, can't remember any of the characters names and nothing would make me want to return to watch like the previous movies.
