In 1993, a cultural phenomenon swept the world with the release of the first Jurassic Park film.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film sparked a global fascination with dinosaurs, while its use of computer-generated imagery was considered groundbreaking at the time.

Six films have since been released, with a seventh - Jurassic World Rebirth - out on Wednesday.

It is directed by Gareth Edwards, and stars US actress Scarlett Johansson and Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey, who were seen locking lips at the film's London premiere.

Bailey later told Entertainment Tonight: "I believe in being able to show the love in all different ways and if you can't kiss your friends... life is too short not to."

Set five years after the events of 2022's Jurassic World Dominion, it explores a world where the surviving dinosaurs live in isolated tropical regions. Early reviews so far have been mixed.

Writing on X, Variety's Jazz Tangcay called the film a "roaring triumph" and "a beautiful homage to the original".

But The Flick Pick's host John Flickinger was more critical, saying it "just feels blah", adding: "It's a string of forgettable scenes that go nowhere."
