Jurassic World: Rebirth ("Rebirth") doesn't do anything offensive to Jurassic Park. And that fact alone makes it better than the last two movies in this franchise.
You don't need to know anything about the prior movies to get up to speed on this, as the plot is simplistic and mostly ignores or recons them. A ragtag group of cardboard characters goes to an isolated island to get miracle cure from dangerous creatures inhabiting said island. Unexpected (for the characters, not the audience) problems arise. Only important and worthy characters make it out alive.
The movie is directed by Gareth Edwards, who directed the 2014 Godzilla, which was divided by movie-goers, but which I very much enjoyed. Edwards borrowed heavily from that movie for this one. The opening scene for Rebirth is taken almost directly from Godzilla (although pointless here), and a few dino hybrids in Rebirth have clear resemblance to some of the monsters in Godzilla.
But that's not all that's borrowed. Rebirth often plays like the greatest hits of the Jurassic Park/World movies that came before, which works but not as good as the original. Remember the raptors in the kitchen? Check. Malcolm waiving the flare for distraction? Check. Nedry recklessly driving the jeep to steal dino DNA? Check. The list goes on. There is some stolen reference you can point to from the each of the sequels as well. However, aside from the raptors in the kitchen bit (this time with a different dinosaur), the callbacks are not in your face enough to take you out of the movie. And thankfully no one does Chris Pratt's magic hand move.
The dialogue is merely passable and the cast adequate. This is one of those movies where you know within the first 20 minutes who will die and the order in which they will die. Once again in this franchise we have a snazzy-dressed capitalist who inexplicably goes over-the-top evil. Yawn. (Any guesses on whether he makes it out OK?) The human roles were never the selling point for the sequels, so it doesn't matter too much that there's no nuance with them.
Some dinosaur encounters are shot well, although the design of these terrors will likely divide fans. The CGI is mostly solid, but several have only a passing resemblance to dinosaurs, with the idea being that they are hybrid clones gone wrong so they just kept them on this reject island. It makes no sense with what we know of the rest of the series, but that follows for this movie.
The T-Rex scene with the raft is probably the best bit, and one imagined from the first book instead of a prior movie, which is welcome, although the fact that it could be excised from this movie without affecting the plot showcases a recurring problem. Also, the end of the movie is clearly inspired from the end of the second book.
As a turn-of-your-brain monster movie, Rebirth is passable, maybe even good. Thankfully, it does not attempt to say anything profound or tarnish the original movie. Aside from a surprisingly slow start, it kept me awake. My rating is 5/10.

No spoilers, but I predicted the ending about 30 minutes in, and I know I'm not alone.
That of course makes the next hour a bit of a slog since you know nothing is as it seems.
Otherwise, the premise and execution are OK. I wish the main character Cole had been better developed. At times they seemed to insinuate that he was detached from reality as a popular social media extreme content creator. Early on, his girlfriend says there are two Coles, the private and the public, and sometimes she doesn't which one he is. But the film never really follows up on this or pays this off. There's no character growth or lesson to be learned. Just a twist ending that is barely disguised.
The problem mainly lies with the script, as the acting is decent. Not one I recommend watching, but you could do worse.

I'm a found footage fan and had heard good things about this film.
Well, they were wrong.
This was among the most dull FF movies I've seen. I was completely bored despite its mere 83 minute runtime. I almost turned it off with 15 minutes left because I was so disinterested.
The premise has potential: a grieving atheist who deals with his remorse by putting his body through the religious ringer, literally inviting in any demon, just to "prove" to the world there's no such thing. But the execution is a mess.
First, this would have worked better without the FF concept. Halfway through the film, there's no point to be holding a camera, and several shots break the illusion.
Second, the acting by the main character is merely average and not up to the task of carrying the movie on his back. (He's in the entire film.) This is particularly obvious when he begins to "change." The script doesn't do him any favors, as any actor would be challenged to make such a bland character relatable.
Third, as mentioned, this movie is boring. If you've seen a few FF horror films, you'll see nothing new here. Every trope, every jumpscare, and even the overall narrative have been done before and in much better projects.
I just wanted, at the least, something halfway decent to pass the time. But this one didn't meet my very low expectations. It slowly, SLOWLY, builds to absolutely nothing.
The only thing scary about this movie is all the high reviews it has received. That is better proof of supernatural influence than what this film delivers.
