“Dominion,” which left dinosaurs running loose with humans all over the world. However, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs, with many dying off. The remaining dinos mostly live in isolated environments near the equator, which have climates resembling the one they once lived in.
Writer David Koepp has said that he saw “Jurassic World Rebirth” as a chance to start over. Koepp, who also wrote the script for the original “Jurassic Park,” decided it would be easier to once again isolate the dinosaurs in places largely removed from humanity rather than try to contend with a world in which these species separated by tens of millions of years would have to find a way to co-exist.
The first act of “Rebirth” does deal with some of what the world looks like with dinosaurs in it, causing traffic jams and whatnot, but by and large, one of this movie’s biggest contributions to the franchise’s future is undoing what director Colin Trevorrow accomplished with “Dominion,” in some ways. Much changed in the five-year gap between these films.
