Jurassic World Rebirth doesn’t reinvent the franchise, but delivers thrilling action with a smartly chosen contemporary cast. The plot, the motivations, the situations are silly and sometimes unthinking—such as feeding packaged candy to a tiny dinosaur. This latest instalment feels more like a repackaged fossil than a genuine resurrection.

More than any impressive new dinosaur or CGI achievement that the latest entry in the paleoblockbuster franchise shows off, it’s the pair of Cubits spectacles with hexagonal titanium frames—sitting in all their Hot Nerd glory on the Wicked and Bridgerton star’s perfect face—that have garnered the lion’s share of the film’s pre-release attention.

Just as a bunch of new dinosaurs await viewers in Jurassic World: Rebirth, a new cast has taken up the mantle of the film franchise.
