It is the present day, and people have lost interest in the dinosaurs; the apathy could not be more apparent as an ageing brontosaurus is removed from the streets of Manhattan. But money hasn't lost its draw unlike the dinosaurs, and a team led by Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend), a man of dubious morals, joins hands with Zora (Scarlett Johansson), Dr Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) and others to seek samples from the aquatic Mosasaurus, terrestrial Titanosaurus, and avian Quetzalcoatlus, in order to find a lucrative cure to a heart disease. On the way their paths cross with the Delgado family – father Reuben, daughters Teresa (Luna Blaise) and Isabella (Audrina Miranda), and Xavier (David Iacono), who are on an unlikely Trans-Atlantic voyage on their summer break. With adventures over land and water, and on the high cliffs of the equatorial island, Jurassic World – Rebirth makes specific effort to draw on the memories of the franchise – children below overturned means of transportation, T-rex drawn away with flares, the inevitable raptors vs children in a dark room. But all said and done it's executed well without monotony – perhaps the strength of the movie is in its excellent casting – memories with new energy and freshness
