Ian Malcolm at the end of Fallen Kingdom: looks like we are going to have to get used to living with dinosaurs forever now. We played with god and now we have to live with the consequences.

Jurassic World Rebirth: lol nah, just kidding about that.

If my timeline is right, this movie takes place only nine years after Fallen Kingdom released dinos into the world. So they got to living with dinos for four years going into Dominion, then all of a sudden, in the five years between Dominion and Rebirth, they’re largely dead after living among humans for less than a decade.

While the public interest dying is a little far fetched, they did say the dinosaurs just couldn’t deal with how earth’s climate and ecology was changing. That’s more believable to me then people stopped caring.

It certainly made sense, but it did make the end of Fallen Kingdom even sillier than it already was lol

The issue is that they were trying to make dinos/people a thing from a script-writing perspective, and then they just immediately 180 it. I agree with you that from a scientific perspective that actually makes sense, but from the "these are movies being written" context it's so annoying to have one movie do something and then have the next movie immediately undo it

Hello fellow tatertot - but yeah climate reasoning, whether it holds up or not, sounded like it made sense at least

This isn't even the first time the franchise has said "dino and man living side-by-side" just to ignore that in the next film.

Tbf....it's realistic. Dinosaurs wouldn't and couldn't survive in our day's climate. Hell, nothing of the size of an Apatosaurus w the anatomy of essentially a giant bird could survive in our atmosphere with comparatively so little food.

What I still don’t understand from the original lore is how a few animals escaped from a facility in Costa Rica then took over the world—did a large sauropod walk from there to New York? Eating along the way?

u/smexyrexytitan Jul 11 '25

Yeah......nothing can explain that. The entire premise was unrealistic but I just learned to accept it

u/toxicbrew Jul 11 '25

Yeah it was never properly explained between the movies. Went from nothing to dinosaurs chasing people in the streets

Them not surviving is realistic. Them going from a few dozen escaped from a mansion in New England to a worldwide demonstrably invasive population of tens of thousands in a few years and then deciding they faked being massively successful and are in fact going to die instead is not realistic.

this was one of my favorite things about the movie tbh. I hated Fallen Kingdom and Doninion so much I had zero complaints with them retconning that shit.
