3 Reasons You Might Regret or Enjoy Taking the Kids to ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’

Dr. Henry Loomis is a paleontologist with a passion for discovery and education. He enjoys engaging the public. He loves to spark curiosity in young minds. Unfortunately for Dr. Loomis, the public is no longer interested. Some 32 years have passed since dinosaurs were reintroduced to the world as part of a landmark project known as Jurassic Park -- a massive zoo-like theme park with plant-eating and meat-eating prehistoric creatures alike brought to life in a supposedly safe environment. But then a series of deadly accidents happened. And then the public's interest waned. Loomis heads a New York City dinosaur museum that no longer attracts the massive crowds it once did. His beloved museum is closing.Disease and climate wiped out most of the world's dinosaurs, leaving only a few wild survivors clinging to life on islands near the equator, where the warmer climate and dense, oxygen-rich air help sustain them. "We sold a dozen tickets all last week," he says. "Five years ago, you'd have to wait in line for hours."Perhaps, though, a new dinosaur adventure can bring renewed joy to this sad scientist.It all starts when a pharmaceutical employee, Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend), asks for Loomis' assistance in developing a new drug that would be birthed from their DNA and could -- in theory -- end heart disease in humans. Millions of lives would be saved. Life expectancy would soar. The catch? The pharmaceutical company needs DNA samples from living dinosaurs near the equator where human travel has been banned. And to make matters worse, the samples must come from the dinosaurs with the biggest hearts -- meaning the largest and most dangerous species.Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) agrees to take part in the journey, joined by an ex-military covert operative, Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson), and another gritty individual, Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali), who owns the boat that will carry them to the island.The group could make millions of dollars. But will they survive?It's all part of the new movie Jurassic World: Rebirth (PG-13), the seventh movie in the Jurassic franchise. Gareth Edwards (Rogue One, Godzilla) directed it, while Steven Spielberg served as executive producer.Here are three things parents may want to know about the film.Photo Credit: ©Universal
