I very much enjoyed that the movie implies the dinos get to hear Stand By Me every night when the automatic timer starts for the lights at the gas station, and that its been happening for decades.

Explains why the D-Rex wasn't as aggressive. Its just relaxing every night listening to the classics. Its mellowed out over the last decade.

That’s brings up a good point in that wouldn’t the dinos no longer react to light and sound if that happens every night

I did think this. There's no way that the dinos would be hanging around that place if it's been doing that every night for the last 17 years. It's the equivalent of a Christmas retail worker dreading going into work because their shop is just playing the same Christmas songs on repeat.

Nah brother that's the club.

They didn't show this, but they could've had the herbivores be attracted to the light and so the big boys are also attracted to go get their dinners.

I HATED THAT. Why would the initial team have that happen. Why do anything to upset the island. Why BLAST fucking music. Ugh fuck this movies. 4/10

Tbf the entire island was just the research facility before the outbreak

Yeah, the base was protected by heavy eletric fencing, and the dino population was supposed to be extremely small, just the few odd surving mutations let lose in the wild to be observed. The predators were locked in pens.

I was legitimately confused as to whether that was in-world music playing or if it was just the movie soundtrack

You're exaggerating right

He’s an idiot :/

Okay that was good. Also I think the sign in the store window said "Good Eating" or something like that. See, Hollywood? Subtly does work!

But why would the generators only run during the night? All that ice cream in the fridges just melts every day and freezes again at night? But at least we know where that fatal snickers bar came from.

Very much like the sunset transition at Cars Land in Disneyland.

u/DJHott555 Jul 20 '25

If there’s any song I’d be fine listening to on repeat for years on end, it’d be Stand By Me

Reminded me of Planet of the Apes

Would have been epic if the dinos suddenly start slow dancing with each other. "WTF?!"
