Movie Review | Jurassic World Rebirth, F1 and Pune Highway

Everyone. Literally, everybody.

This week, we’re diving into human nature. Messing with Nature.

Man versus Nature

When American filmmaker Steven Spielberg picked up Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, he didn’t simply carry again dinosaurs, he revived the last word “what if”: What in the event that they got here again… and we had been dumb sufficient to ask them? His love for spectacle lastly met tech that might dream as large as he did. Two trilogies. Three many years. And now: Jurassic World Rebirth.

At its core, the franchise reminds us each few years how small we’re within the grand scheme of issues. And Gareth Edwards’ Rebirth says it once more: We don’t matter. But we do mess with Nature. And someday, as American actor and musician Jeff Goldblum warned, “It will shake us off like a summer season chilly.” The authentic trilogy already made that time. Then got here director Colin Trevorrow rebooting it for Gen TikTook.

To be honest, Jurassic World gave us visuals and a few dumb enjoyable. And actor Chris Pratt, price range Indiana Jones, may stare down a raptor and go, “Hey buddy… chill.” The second trilogy stumbled, however Rebirth isn’t constructing a brand new arc. It’s a one-and-done mission film: Get three DNA samples from a dino zone… earlier than you get eaten.

The grammar is straight-up online game: Family unit. Survival mission. Wild terrain. And in fact, the lovable child who wanders off to befriend a child dino. Despite starring actors Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, it’s a primary journey… however approach higher than the final one.

Kids will like it. Dino face-offs? Check. Humans getting chomped? Double verify. But at IMAX costs… discover somebody to take you. Go, pester energy. Unleash the beast.

Race in opposition to time

As comedian-actor Jerry Seinfeld as soon as mentioned, “The helmet is designed to guard a mind that’s functioning so poorly, it’s not even making an attempt to cease the cracking of the pinnacle it’s in.” That’s F1. High velocity. High threat. Zero logic. And now, a Brad Pitt film the place he actually races in opposition to time.

As a dummy, I can affirm: F1 for dummies truly works. It admits it’d take a miracle for somebody Brad’s age to hop into F1 and beat legends of their prime. But that’s the magic of flicks. They don’t run on realism, they run on fantasy. And this one? Flies. Sure, there’s a throwaway romance. Just a few rule bends will make purists wince. But when you’re a curious informal or a Brad groupie, it’s price a big-screen watch.

With the sound, velocity, spectacle, F1 is a turbo-charged throwback to Days of Thunder, up to date for the Drive to Survive crowd.

In two minds? Don’t overthink it .Just go. Helmet’s non-obligatory.

Rare whodunnit

Now streaming on Prime Video, Pune Highway is a wickedly enjoyable homicide thriller — with a pointy take a look at misogyny, bro-code, and the chums you picked earlier than you knew higher. Directed by Bugs Bhargava Krishna and Rahul DaCunha, it explores friendship, guilt, and gender amongst childhood mates from the identical constructing. Comedian and screenwriter Anuvab Pal steals the present because the “particular” friend-turned-suspect, who casually drops: “Smart man, he caught me, uh! I need to congratulate him.” Actor Amit Sadh brings depth and ethical wrestle. Jim Sarbh provides dry wit and authorized stress. Together, they crackle.  

It’s a uncommon whodunnit that digs into the blind spots of male friendships. Because what in case your protected area… is a poisonous cesspool? I liked it — although I wasn’t a fan of the way it left us, fairly actually, stranded on the freeway earlier than reaching any vacation spot.

But perhaps that’s the purpose. It was by no means in regards to the ending.
