Jurassic World: Rebirth

David Koepp is a busy man. If you don't know who that is, he is the writer of the latest Jurassic film, Jurassic World: Rebirth. He has also given us, this year, Presence and Black Bag, two films by Steven Soderbergh. David Koepp co-wrote the first two Jurassic Park films with the late, great Michael Crichton. Koepp also wrote and directed one of my favourite films, The Trigger Effect - a film about what happens when the power goes out, much like Leave the World Behind. That film starred Mahershala Ali, who also stars in this latest Jurassic movie, alongside Scarlett Johansson. Koepp is a gifted storyteller, a talented writer. He knows what works and what works is having characters you care about. Also, kids. Throw kids into the mix, put them in danger, and you got yourself a winner - it's a Steven Spielberg formula, who is also an executive producer on this film and his DNA is all over it. Of the seven films this franchise has produced, it's the best thing since the original. The last three World films have felt like the Star Wars prequels - not good but we watched them anyway because we were hoping for some sort of magic. Go get chased by some monsters, in theatres now.
