The iconic series is now back, and going back to it's roots to deliver thrills for all the family - and the stakes are higher than ever...
From director Gareth Edwards and starring action movie icons Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, Jurassic World Rebirth hits cinemas on July 2 and promises to be the blockbuster event of the summer.
As the official trailer shows, the film sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park - inhabited only by the most dangerous dinosaurs that were left behind.
These colossal creatures pose a mortal threat to any human that crosses them, but they also hold - in their DNA - the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits.
Skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett (Johansson) is tasked with leading a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. Yet when her team is left stranded, they come face to face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
The only way to experience the intense, extraordinary action of Jurassic World Rebirth is by watching it on the big screen. But with the release date fast approaching, time is running out to reserve your tickets for opening night.
Here are nine reasons you won't want to miss it!
1 - The stellar cast
Given how large Jurassic Park looms in our culture, it's no surprise this movie has managed to pull in some big names.
Even so, the line-up goes beyond anything we could have expected.
Johansson excels as the formidable Zora, who finds her foil in Bailey's Dr Henry Loomis - an expert palaeontologist more suited to laid-back lab work than surviving the world's most hostile environment.
They're joined by two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali playing Duncan Kincaid - Zora's most trusted team member - alongside a host of other acclaimed international stars including Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo.
2 - Gareth Edwards is the perfect director
Any Jurassic film relies on powerful visuals, and no one does these better than Gareth Edwards.
Throughout the film he brings big beasts to life with spine-tingling effect, creating an experience so immediate and visceral that you could be staring up at them yourself - rather than sitting in the safety of your local cinema.
One of Edwards' executive producers is Steven Spielberg, who needs absolutely no introduction, and the film has been written by David Koepp who also wrote the original Jurassic park. An iconic team behind the camera!
3 - The new dinosaur breeds
This is a new era, so alongside a refreshed cast and director we're also treated to new dinosaurs, including previously unknown breeds alongside some familiar ones.
These are every bit as menacing and evil as you could hope - and sure to loom large in your imagination long after you've left the cinema.
We particularly love the marauding aquatic dinos that harass Zora's squad out at sea, a moment that's previewed in the trailer.
But there are plenty more creatures to discover too. And given the extraction team needs to get blood samples from the three biggest ones, you won't be surprised things get hairy!
4 - It's joyfully nostalgic
Johansson recently recalled watching the Jurassic Park movies in the cinema - an experience many of us will relate to.
By nodding back to the style of the original films, Jurassic World Rebirth achieves the feat of feeling wonderfully nostalgic at the same time as being exciting and new.
You'll find yourself thrilled to recognise some familiar settings and sequences. But most importantly, the film revives the same sense of awe, wonder and excitement that we felt all those years ago.
Combined with strong storytelling and powerful visuals, sound and music play a key role in building drama and suspense.
We're in good hands for Jurassic World Rebirth, which features music by two-time Academy Award winner Alexandre Desplat.
Meanwhile, the theme is by legendary five-time Academy Award winning composer John Williams.
6 - It's pure escapism
The best films wrench you so far away from ordinary life that the simple act of walking back out onto the street feels like a shock.
That's undoubtedly the case with this movie, which places you at the heart of a death-defying mission of the highest possible importance.
Regardless of the time of day or what you were doing before you sat down in the cinema, for the entire film you won't be thinking about anything else.
Bringing Jurassic World to life requires a mastery of visual and special effects.
So it's just as well Edwards is working alongside some of the best in the business, including Oscar nominee David Vickery and Carlos Ciudad (of F9: The Fast Saga).
What's more, special effects supervision comes courtesy of two-time Academy Award winner Neil Corbould.
8 - Everyone will be talking about it
Movies aren't just about what happens in the cinema...
Anyone who's watched a big blockbuster has plenty they want to talk about, from their favourite characters and funny moments to any surprising moments they hadn't seen coming.
By watching Jurassic World Rebirth as soon as it's released, you'll be able to take part in these conversations from the get-go rather than feeling left out.
As one of the biggest movie releases of the year, you'll want to enjoy Jurassic World Rebirth in its full glory.
The extraordinary visuals and explosive audio of a film like this can only be experienced to their full, immersive effect on the big screen.
There's simply no other option!
