Jurassic World Rebirth (4K Ultra HD+BR+ Digital)
(Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Ed Skrein, et al / 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital / PG-13 / 2025 / Universal Pictures)

Overview: A new era is born. A covert extraction team races to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility where dinosaurs too deadly for the original Jurassic Park were left behind. Their mission: collect DNA from three colossal creatures to unlock a drug with huge benefits for humanity. In a terrain populated by perils, they will make a shocking discovery that has been hidden for years.

After a record-breaking box office debut, JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is now available to own or rent for the first time exclusively on Digital platforms tomorrow, and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD September 9th, 2025, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and Amblin Entertainment.

4K UHD Blu-ray Verdict: Universal Pictures is expanding their 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray catalog offerings this month with the release of the highly anticipated Jurassic World Rebirth (4K Ultra HD+BR+ Digital) in the expansive 4K Ultra HD video format this September 9th, 2025.

For my money, this Jurassic World Rebirth sharpness takes a fairly large step forward from others in their 4K Ultra HD catalog and even comes with HDR (High Dynamic Range) for the complete 4K Ultra HD experience, of course.

So, what we have is Jurassic World Rebirth presented to us as a one-disc with a sheet for a Digital HD Copy. Other stand out points you should know are: Codec: HEVC / H.265, Resolution: Native 4K (2160p), HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10, Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 and Original aspect ratio: 2.39:1.

Featuring Dolby Vision and HDR10 for brighter, deeper, and way more lifelike colors, as with most all 4K UHDs, everything that we watch features these qualities - but somehow, this film gloriously shines within them all.

Noticeably crisp with the overall clarity receiving an obvious boost here on this release, what is more is that it is enjoyably noticeable. For as well as some new nuances to the somewhat drab palette courtesy of Dolby Vision, we also get to witness sudden bright pops of color, which makes the eyes draw in, for sure.

Which shows us its very best during what I will call the Rex River Scene. Where a sleepy rex with a full belly gets up for a drink, sees something new and decides to chase it a little. Also having the intelligence to look underwater to see what might be hiding under the raft, it then eventually gets bored/frustrated (as it has all become rather tiresome to it) and thus sculks away!

As for the audio, well we get the small choice of: English: Dolby Atmos and English: Dolby TrueHD 7.1 (48kHz, 24-bit).

Overall, this is a very strong 4K HDR Blu-ray presentation, and, for the most part, the audio track remains fairly similar to its DTS-HD counterpart; with much of the action occupying the surrounds with outstanding directionality and placement where effects flawlessly pan between the sides and rears.

As for the film itself, well, the dinosaurs are back and I personally loved seeing them again! I know they come thick and fast these days, but it felt like a hot minute or three since the ast one so this new installment had be ready and waiting.

That all said, and as much as I did actually enjoy it, somehow, and with all the money the moviemakers have to hand, these beloved dinosaurs have never felt more tired (to look at and to watch lumbering around).

Jurassic World: Rebirth, the seventh installment in the once-iconic franchise, brings a set of new characters to the fore and is, for all intents and purposes, a loud, shiny, and action-packed cinematic escape, but beneath the surface, well, there’s a noticeably creative void as vast as the prehistoric landscapes it tries to resurrect.

Lovingly chock full of a string of chase scenes, explosions, and close calls, stitched together with a plot point that is explained early on and keeps the storyline moving nicely throughout, there can be no attempts at character development as you just do not know who is going to survive an attack at any time.

Which is part of the fun of the movie, granted, but to not know means we do not get to know them before they vanish faster than a velociraptor in the underbrush! Overall, the cast, though star-studded, is not given too much to work with, at times their performances feeling robotic, a sense their characters are going through the motions when they should be scared shitless and always on their toes, eyes on stalks! But that’s ok, as the two hour movie is a visual blockbuster of a ride regardless.

Leaning heavily on nostalgia, it throws in beautiful visual callbacks, familiar music cues, and the occasional forced reference to earlier films, and it all feels just so warm and fuzzy to see/hear. All the emotional beats land, even the most glorious of surprises, which means if you are a fan of the series, well, you will not be disappointed with Rebirth.

In closing, if you have seen the first six movies, you have already seen most everything this film has to offer, sure, but I am here to tell you that Jurassic World: Rebirth is extremely watchable and extremely enjoyable.
