![]() The end montage also stresses that dinosaur eggs and genetic samples are now out in the wider world, having been purchased by rogue arms and pharmaceutical companies, as well as likely by some rogue nation-states. Malcolm is rather overstating the case by insisting that humans will have to find a way to share the world with wild dinosaurs. Even if all those dinosaurs were the same species and could procreate with one another, we'd still be talking about a population so small that it borders on total extinction. All the cages were being successfully monitored by a security suite that had just 27 camera feeds - meaning we're probably talking less than 40 specimens released into the wild. In some cases, Mills only managed to acquire one sample of each species - Blue is the last of the Velociraptors, and there's still only one Tyrannosaurus rex. We're told that Mills only acquired eleven different species. In reality, only a single ship's worth of dinosaurs were saved from the eruption of Isla Nublar. This world no longer belongs to humans alone it is now shared with the dinosaurs.Īt least, that's what the film wants us to believe. The (frankly underwhelming) end-credits scene shows Pteranodons flying over Las Vegas. The Tyrannosaurus rex breaks into the lion enclosure to assert its dominance over the king of the jungle, the Mosasaurus snacks on some surfers, and we even catch a last glimpse of Blue. " Welcome to Jurassic World," Ian Malcolm declares at the end of the film, and we're treated to a montage of shots showing the dinosaurs roaming free. This is far too sudden an emergency to call a long, drawn-out Senate hearing that will likely take months to reach a consensus. But the liberation of the dinosaurs is an unexpected event, and the authorities should probably be busy reacting to the fact that a Tyrannosaurus rex is wandering around the streets and that Pteranodons are flying over Las Vegas. ![]() Given volcanologists would probably have been able to spot that eruption coming well over a year before it happened, there was plenty of time for the Senate hearing to be called. And why has the second Senate hearing actually been called anyway? The first one was a response to the imminent volcanic eruption on Isla Nublar. Look carefully, and it's too clear that Goldblum turned up for a single afternoon of filming (he's even wearing the same suit in both shots). It makes perfect sense that he'd be called as an expert witness, but it does feel rather anticlimatic given how much hype there'd been about Goldblum's return to the franchise. The beginning and end of the film feature what seem to be two different Senate Hearings, in which Dr. Ian Malcolm, but in reality he plays only a minor role. Marketing for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has stressed the importance of Jeff Goldblum's Dr. ![]() Frankly, this major idea actually feels as though it exists purely for the moment when Maisie presses a button and frees the dinosaurs. ![]() This franchise is about people surviving in a world of dinosaurs, not the ethical implications of human cloning. Will this idea actually be developed in Jurassic World 3? The concept of human cloning takes the franchise in a whole new direction - but one that feels ever-so-slightly off-brand. It does so for a simple, functional reason the script needs Maisie to empathize with the dinosaurs in order to save them from extinction. ![]() Then, when the time is right, the film literally shouts out the key revelation. A more subtle detail is the way the excellent Isabella Sermon portrays the character, with the girl cocking her head in a way that's reminiscent of Blue. The twist is signposted quite clearly, most notably with Lockwood refusing to let Maisie see any photos of her mother. That, it seems, is the in-universe reason for why we never heard of Lockwood in any of the earlier films he and Hammond had a falling-out, with Hammond objecting to the idea of human cloning. Maisie isn't Lockwood's granddaughter - she's actually a clone of his daughter. The biggest twist in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is that the Lockwoods have perfected human cloning. ![]()
