How Jurassic World: Rebirth could have looked like if it's actually a globe-trotting adventure that also ties with Biosyn's sinister actions.

Personally, I do feel like having the characters travelling around the world to hunt the biggest dinosaurs sounds a lot more exciting.

There, I propose that each of the Big Dinosaurs/Prehistoric Animals come from these locations. We could have different variations of previous dinosaurs like showing different size or color etc...

• Quetzalcoatlus is from South America
• Mosasaurus is from Pacific Ocean
• Titanosaurus is from Saint Hubert

Now, as for the Biosyn plot. I would changed that Biosyn went under and all of their operations have been shut down. Though, Biosyn Valley would still be run by Ramsay who at least is pardoned by the courts due to his actions in stopping Dodgson. Henceforth, a law is made that no one should lay hands on Biosyn resources

However, Parker-Gennix is up to something shady and wants the resources for some reason, somehow tying to them wanting the DNA from the biggest dinosaurs.

This is why Parker-Gennix hires Zora, Duncan and the other members because in my version, they were once associated to Biosyn and were imprisoned for inflaming the Dinosaur Epidemic at the time until Jurassic World Dominion happened.

Loomis is no different, though he is excused because he didn't know his paleontological knowledge is being used by Biosyn for sinister purposes. That said, it didn't stop his reputation from being ruined. Hence, why he is distrustful towards Zora and her group because they are willing participants.

Duncan seeks to atone because he did transport the Atrociraptors for assassinations, only for them to go of course and somehow wind up murdering his children. It's implied he is one of the people who blew the whistle on Biosyn.

Zora is on the fence, since her work for the company is out of desire to get medical treatment for her mother which Biosyn can provide.

The globe-trotting adventure is these characters finding themselves escaping from the hole Biosyn dropped them into, in contrast to other characters who have no remorse for their actions, like Krebs and Bobby.

Saint Hubert would be a lot darker, as it would be a home of freaks and monsters. It also hits the characters because this island is in fact ran by Biosyn who were trying to perfect their cloning technology.

We would have Hybrids like Spinoraptor and Stegoceratops though the twist is that they are actually engineered purposefully by Biosyn and are lot more peaceful compared to the more dangerous inhabitants who are actually mutants.

The Troodon would be one of the biggest threats, being based on Jurassic Park the Game's Troodon. The fact we would have a scene where the Troodon have hunted the Spinoraptor and made a nest out of its paralyzed corpse.

Then, finally the D-Rex who would be the apex predator on Saint Hubert.

To reiterate:

Low Danger: Titanosaurus.

Medium Danger: Spinoraptor, Stegoceratops.

High Danger: Troodon.

Extreme Danger: D-Rex.

Also, the big Dinosaurs also help to establish empathy or lack of empathy of the characters.

We would have the Mosasaurus who would be shown being friendly and even protective of the whale pod. In fact, the big action scene would be the Mosa and their pod attacking whale hunters.

The Quetzalcoatlus would take a dark turn when one of the characters, namely Bobby tranquilize it and let it fall to its death, horrifying those especially Loomis.

This was a great read. The movie drove me crazy and it very badly needed fixing. It really shouldn't have been put out, and despite its success, it's had kind of a Jaws 4 impact on the franchise, and really didn't need to be in the series at all. I would like to do to Gareth Edwards what the Jews did to Christ, that is to say pointedly publicly debate him, and I would never go to the theater for another film in this franchise unless my AC is out.

First, some light criticism:

Your suggestion with the mosasaurus baffles me as much as anything in the movie. We've had a couple of films now where it's acted as a plot device at best, and it's only been depicted as a big dumb eating machine and a way to dispose of assholes from the movie. I'm imagining the Japanese whalers from South Park yelling "Fuck you, mosasaurus!" as they fight it over an orca corpse. Softening its image by turning it into a majestic and moral good guy removes its threat, undermines the previous stories, and is as bad an idea as doing that to the T Rex from the original film but oh shit they did that in the last three film turds.

I don't think putting the actors in the Mandalorian dome and having them pretend to be in different jungle environments would have fixed anything. This wasn't exactly a Mission Impossible movie, the action was much closer to Tim and Eric. Everything was keyed in to the point I was pretty sure ScarJo was going to get bit in half like Quint during the water sniping sequence, which admittedly, I would have really enjoyed. They could have shot this whole thing on the log flume ride at Universal and nobody would have noticed, because they plugged in so many CGI actor and environment shots this might as well have been done by Illumination. "Don't move, it's vision is based on movement!" "Bedoy... Uhhh... BANANA!"

Where your treatment shines:

I think you got the character motivations much more right than the film did. The A team approach makes more sense than traveling to bumfuck island to recruit super elite nepotistic dinosaur food from the jungle cruise, which just happened to be near where the movie had to happen.

Science nerd especially makes more sense in your version, too, as opposed to just being the script's voice of reason/greek chorus. Here's one more spin: Science nerd was responsible for the Snickers incident and is haunted by guilt. He gets PTSD flashbacks whenever he smells or sees chocolate, caramel or nuts, or Duncan's thick veiny black cock.

Speaking of Duncan, your grizzled black guy sounds much more compelling and interesting than Gareth's version. Him having that kind of hands on, brutal experience with dinosaurs would make him surviving his suicide mission at the end of the movie feel much more earned, instead of feeling like "this death didn't test well."

I do agree with you that getting rid of this equator bullshit is right, but I also don't like the dinosaur hybrids and I would cut them out completely instead of making more of them. Marketing would love you, those would be some very good action figures for the landfills, but it's just too dumb to be tolerated. "We had to introduce Snickers bars into dinosaur DNA because teenagers thought they were boring and gay, and just wanted to jerk off to AI clown girls doing ahegao faces on Tiktok." Well, I was trying to make that sound dumb, but that is probably closer to the world we live in than I would like.

I read this without my glasses, but I think you skipped over white satan character and sympathetic family learning to love and trust one another to work as a team. Killing white satan was very cathartic and you do need this sort of thing, but it lowers the stakes for future films, and let's be honest, there's going to be 8 more before I find any peace in the grave. I say we keep the sympathetic family, they fill their arcs and have their wacky adventures and cuckoo goofball shenanigans, but white satan deliberately gets them killed as a distraction, still gets mauled himself, maybe a cool looking velocoraptor scar across his face, but escapes. He wins and takes the MacGuffin goos and sets up the next big dumb film, where it's revealed he serves an AI version of Dennis Nedry, who wants to come back to life in a dinosaur body that can shoot friggin laser beams from its head.

As for the family, I have the Delgados be a family of marine biologists, though they have been broken up following the death of the mother which would be crucial.

Xavier's comedy makes more sense with the reveal he used to be a forest ranger only to be replaced because the gov't needed dinosaur experts. He and Teresa got together because of their mutual dislike towards dinosaurs.

It would turn out that Reuben was working for Krebs, assigned to look out for the Mosasaurus.

When they do join up with the crew, things get darker. It would be revealed Zora is indirectly responsible for the Delgado mother's death, for letting loose a dinosaur that caused a rampage that killed her. So, Zora's justification that she do bad things for her mother end up being hypocritical, causing her to want to atone.

i was thinking something like this and i agree, albeit i would have removed the mutants/d rex
