Jurassic World Rebirthis bringing horror back to theJurassic Parkfranchise, and the franchise’s most iconic dinosaur will finally be terrifying again.Rebirthis the seventh film in the beloved dinosaur series and promises plenty of opportunities for frightening moments. The film takes place on a forbidden island that was home to the original research facility for the first Jurassic Park. The island isfilled with mutated dinosaurs rejected from the park, leading to some bizarre creations that haven’t gone extinct.
As seen in the latest trailer, the film will feature many haunting hybrids,including the D-Rex, a dinosaur whose design was inspired by the rancor fromStar Warsand the xenomorph fromAlien. However, there are still many familiar dinosaurs,including the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The T-Rex will be involved in what could be the film’s most suspenseful sequence, where the beast chases a family on a raft down a river. It looks like a great scene, and should make the T-Rex scary again after the last trilogy took the monster in a different direction.
The Jurassic World Trilogy Turned The T-Rex Into A Hero
The T-Rex Was One Of The Trilogy’s Greatest Saviors
The T-Rex is arguably the most famous dinosaur, but also the scariest. They’re vicious predators that feast on whatever prey they can find, including humans. The originalJurassic Parktrilogy knew how dangerous these reptiles could be, and Steven Spielberg created many incredibly tense moments. TheJurassic Worldfilms capitalized on the dinosaur’s success byplacing the T-Rex in epic battles, but they also turned the creature into an accidental hero.

In the firstJurassic World, the T-Rex teams up with the Velociraptor, Blue, todefeat the Indominus Rex. InJurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the T-Rex shows up spontaneously to save Claire and Owen from the Carnotaurus. Her final heroic act occurred inJurassic World Dominionwhen she saved the new and original crew from the Giganotosaurus by teaming up with the feathered Therizinosaurus. While it was cool to see the T-Rex in some incredible dinosaur fights, she lost much of what made her intimidating, since she wasn’t a threat to the main characters.
Jurassic World Rebirth’s New Trailer Makes The T-Rex Look Scarier Than Ever
The Raft Chase Could Be The Film’s Most Suspenseful Sequence
ThelatestJurassic World Rebirthtrailerincludes a look at a haunting raft chase featuring the T-Rex. A family is trying to avoid the beast while paddling a raft down a river. The T-Rex swims below them, eventually flipping the raft over. As the family swims downstream, the T-Rex continues chasing them, nearly missing them as he snaps at them in the water. It’s a horrifying scenario and shows how clever and deadly the T-Rex can be.
This scene is from Michael Crichton’sJurassic Parknovel,but wasn’t included in Spielberg’s 1993 adaptation. Speaking withVariety, writer David Koepp, who also wroteRebirth, said they"didn’t have room for"the raft scene in the original film, but he’s excited to use it now. Director Gareth Edwards proved he can use monsters effectively in 2014’sGodzilla, meaning the raft scene could be a thrilling sequence that shows the strength and intimidating stature of the killer T-Rex.
Rebirth’s Raft Attack Could Be The Best T-Rex Scene Since The Original
The T-Rex Attack From Jurassic Park Hasn’t Been Topped
TheT-Rex attack fromJurassic Parkis a perfect movie moment. It has comedy, horror, action, drama, and suspense. It’s a cornucopia of the best aspects of cinema and likely inspired many young filmmakers. It’s also a revolutionary scene on a technical level asit displayed how CGI and practical effects can be combined effectively. When the camera is zoomed in on the T-Rex’s head, it’s an animatronic. When it’s the full T-Rex, it’s CGI. The effects are seamless, leading to an effective and masterful sequence of thrills and suspense.
Since the first film, the T-Rex has wreaked havoc but has never been as scary as she was during this scene.Jurassic WorldRebirthhas the chance to recreate the feeling this scene evoked, and it looks like it could. The raft attack places humans in an incredibly dangerous scenario with the T-Rex, and the shot of the dinosaur swimming below them is chilling. Hopefully, the full scene is as nerve-wracking as it looks.
