I will crush this for you.''And that's how Scarlett landed herself in the billion-dollar franchise, directed by Gareth Edwards, alongside a new cast including Jonathan Bailey, and a fresh narrative.- EndsMust Watch

The Hindu's review of the film read, 'Jurassic World: Rebirth sounds and looks wonderful, and though it does not offer anything brilliantly new, it is the kind of summer fast food that is filling and tasty and utterly forgettable.'
