‘Jurassic World Rebirth' Reviews: Rotten Tomatoes Critics Split On Movie
Jurassic World Rebirth, Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali's reboot of the Jurassic World franchise, has Rotten Tomatoes critics divided.
Jurassic World Rebirth opens in theaters nationwide on Wednesday. The official summary for the film reads, 'Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived.
'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.'
Directed by Gareth Edwards, Jurassic World Rebirth also stars Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain and Ed Skrein.
As of Tuesday, Jurassic World Rebirth has earned a 53% 'rotten' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 113 reviews. RT's Critics Consensus and Popcornmeter rating are still pending.
What Are Individual Critics Saying About 'Jurassic World Rebirth'?
Among the top critics on RT who give Jurassic World Rebirth a 'rotten' rating is Johnny Oleksinski of the New York Post, who writes, 'The once-great franchise is hardly reborn from the amber this time. It's slammed by an asteroid yet again.'
Alissa Wilkinson of The New York Times also gives Jurassic World Rebirth a 'rotten' rating on RT, 'In the story, the ubiquity of the dinosaurs has left humanity feeling bored and annoyed, cutting the feet out from under those moments. And it's starting to feel like the movies are getting bored, too.'
Nick Schager of the Daily Beast rates Jurassic World Rebirth 'rotten' as well, writing in his RT review summary, 'he underwhelming result is similar to its signature beasts: a handsome clone that serves no purpose except to line its creators' pockets.'
Mark Kennedy of The Associated Press is among the top critics on RT who give Jurassic World a 'fresh' rating, writing, 'In many ways, the folks behind Jurassic World Rebirth are trying to do the same thing as their mercenaries: Going back to the source code to recapture the magic of Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster original. They've thrillingly succeeded.'
Bill Bria of The Wrap also gives Jurassic World Rebirth a fresh rating on RT, writing, 'Just because cheeseburgers are now available anywhere doesn't mean that they can't be damn tasty. Jurassic Park Rebirth is just a well-made cheeseburger, and whether that's filling and interesting enough is up to your own appetite.'
Also giving the film a 'fresh' review is Stephanie Zacharek of TIME Magazine, who writes, 'Jurassic World Rebirth features likable humans as well as some pleasantly cartoonish distasteful ones, and lots of dinosaurs just doing their thing.'
Jurassic World Rebirth opens in theaters nationwide on Friday.

‘South Park' Season 27 Premiere Pushed Back 2 Weeks
Oh my god, they delayed Kenny! 'South Park' fans will have to wait a little longer for the premiere of Season 27, as the long-running animated comedy series will now premiere Wednesday, July 23, on Comedy Central at 10 p.m., the network announced Wednesday. More from TheWrap Paramount's Deal With Trump 'Threatens Journalists' Ability to Do Their Jobs,' WGA East Says 'South Park' Season 27 Premiere Pushed Back 2 Weeks 'Ironheart' Finally Introduced That Marvel Character – and Not Even Star Dominique Thorne Knew About It | Video Paramount Reaches $16 Million Settlement With Donald Trump in '60 Minutes' Lawsuit Back in April, Comedy Central set the premiere for Wednesday, July 9. The network did not give details on the reason for the time-shift. But anyone who saw '6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park' — a behind-the-scenes look from 2011 at how Trey Parker, Matt Stone and the team spend less than a week producing the show up against its airdate — knows that it has always operated on a knife's edge to stay topical. Last Monday, Parker and Stone, who operate South Park Digital Studios — which owns the show's streaming rights — accused Jeff Shell, the Redbird Capital executive who is set to become the next president of Paramount should the deal with Skydance close, of steering negotiations with potential streaming partners Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery to benefit Paramount, threatening legal action. A rep for Redbird and Skydance maintained that Shell did nothing wrong, saying in a statement to TheWrap: 'Under the terms of the transaction agreement Skydance has the right to approve material contracts.' There was no indication that the dustup over streaming rights had anything to do with the delay, however. The hit franchise debuted on Comedy Central on August 13, 1997. Co-creators Parker and Stone are executive producers, along with Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II. Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are producers. 'South Park' remains one of cable television's longest-running scripted series and continues to draw strong ratings and critical acclaim. The show has also expanded its presence in recent years through specials and streaming events, part of a broader content deal Parker and Stone signed in 2021.

Scientists Find Popular Vitamin Targets Visible Signs of Aging, Makes Skin Look Younger
Vitamin C may help support the health of the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. Getting adequate levels of vitamin C may help fight signs of skin aging, according to recent findings. Doctors explain how to get more of the essential vitamin in your diet. Your skin protects your body from germs and other environmental hazards, but it gets weaker over time. That changes its appearance, leading to visible signs of aging, like wrinkles and fine lines. While you can't do anything to stop your skin from getting older, new research suggests that vitamin C may help skin look younger. Specifically, having plenty of vitamin C in your diet may help to reactivate certain genes that control your skin's growth and repair. The study, which was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, used lab-grown models designed to mimic human skin. In these models, the skin cells were exposed to air while being nourished underneath with a liquid nutrient designed to mimic the way your skin gets nutrients from your blood vessels. Meet the experts: Gary Goldenberg, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital; Ife J. Rodney, M.D., founding director of Eternal Dermatology + Aesthetics The researchers used vitamin C at different concentrations comparable to what would be transported from your bloodstream to the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of your skin. After seven days, the researchers discovered that the skin that was treated with vitamin C had a thicker epidermal cell layer without impacting the stratum corneum, which is the outer layer of skin made up of dead cells. After two weeks, the epidermis was thicker, while the outer layer of dead skin cells was thinner. This suggests that vitamin C helps to boost the formation and division of keratinocytes, skin cells that move from deeper layers of the skin to the surface, the researchers explained. The researchers also found that skin samples that were treated with vitamin C had more cell proliferation, which is important for maintaining the skin's healthy barrier and creating a fresher look. 'Vitamin C is a promising molecule that can be used as a developing treatment for epidermal thinning, including in aging,' the researchers wrote in the conclusion. The findings raise questions about the impact of vitamin C on skin. So, should we all be having more of it in our lives for a healthier, younger-looking complexion? Here's what dermatologists want you to keep in mind. Vitamin C, a.k.a. L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Humans need to get vitamin C from food and supplements, making it a vital part of the diet, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Vitamin C plays a role in several areas of health, including biochemical reactions to support collagen and protein metabolism, per the NIH. Vitamin C also helps with wound healing and is an antioxidant that supports immune function. Most adult women need 65 to 75 milligrams of vitamin C a day, while most adult men need 75 to 90 milligrams daily. While many adults in the U.S. get the recommended amounts of vitamin C daily from foods and drinks, some are more at risk of not getting enough than others, per the NIH. Those include: People who smoke and are exposed to second-hand smoke. People who eat a limited diet. People with certain medical conditions, like severe malabsorption, certain types of cancer, and some forms of kidney disease. When you eat or drink something with vitamin C, it's absorbed into your bloodstream and then transported to the skin, explains Gary Goldenberg, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. There, it tends to be concentrated in the basal layer of the epidermis, which is the deepest layer of the outer layer of your skin. Vitamin C is a co-factor (meaning it's a required element) in a process that activates genes that are involved in cell proliferation, Dr. Goldenberg says. 'This can lead to epidermal thickening and improved skin health and appearance,' he says. Vitamin C is also crucial for the production of collagen, a protein that helps to support your skin's barrier and enhances your skin's elasticity, says Ife J. Rodney, M.D., founding director of Eternal Dermatology + Aesthetics. 'Collagen is the building block of the skin,' she says. 'It's the supporting matrix that gives the skin its tightness and firmness, but over the years, it starts to break down. That's why skin gets saggy and thin.' While having more vitamin C in your life won't magically transform your skin, it can help, Dr. Rodney says. If you eat a lot of vitamin C-rich foods, Dr. Goldenberg says you should get enough of the nutrient to support good skin health. If you could do better, these are some of the most vitamin C-rich foods to consider eating, per the NIH: Red bell pepper, ½ cup: 95 milligrams Orange juice, ¾ cup: 93 milligrams Orange, 1 medium: 70 milligrams Grapefruit juice, ¾ cup: 70 milligrams Kiwifruit, 1 medium: 64 milligrams Green pepper, ½ cup: 60 milligrams Broccoli, ½ cup: 51 milligrams If you're not sure how you're doing on the vitamin C front or if you're concerned that you may not be absorbing the nutrient properly, Dr. Goldenberg says a blood test can help determine your levels. 'If levels are low or not optimal, supplementation can help,' he says. However, Dr. Rodney points out that vitamin C supplements aren't for everyone. 'They really don't help unless you're deficient,' she says. This study focused on having vitamin C in your diet, but dermatologists say there's a role for vitamin C serums in skincare, too. 'I like topical vitamin C on the skin—serums, specifically,' Dr. Rodney says. Because of vitamin C's antioxidant effect, these can help to protect the skin from environmental stressors, she says, which may contribute to signs of aging. (Dr. Rodney recommends looking for a serum with vitamin C and ferulic acid, which helps keep the vitamin C molecule stable in your products.) Overall, dermatologists say the findings stress the importance of eating a healthy diet for good skin health. 'Nutrition has a direct impact on skin health,' Dr. Goldenberg says. 'Nutrients like vitamin C can promote skin regeneration, delay aging effects, and maintain barrier function.' Dietary supplements are products intended to supplement the diet. They are not medicines and are not intended to treat, diagnose, mitigate, prevent, or cure diseases. Be cautious about taking dietary supplements if you are pregnant or nursing. Also, be careful about giving supplements to a child, unless recommended by their healthcare provider. You Might Also Like Can Apple Cider Vinegar Lead to Weight Loss?
