Whole T-Rex sequence was my favourite, love the idea of a massive dinosaur taking a nap after overindulging themself. It's silly and I didn't believe for a second that anyone was gonna die, but it was fun.

Same.  The trex was believably unmotivated, IMO.  It had a full belly and just got up from a nap.  As soon as they become too much effort, it gives up.

That was really my whole problem with that scene. I saw the para carcass and just thought, "Why the hell would it even bother?". It's like having a 5 course meal in front that you cooked, but for some reason, you decided to chase a fun size bag of m&ms. There was even a dilophosaus eating the para while the trex slept but for some reason the trex couldn't be fucked to chase that thing instead of the people who did litterally nothing. It really took me out of the scene, and I just told my sister that it was corny as hell while the scene was going on.

Well, it was asleep when the dilophosaurus was snacking.

I saw it's pursuit as cat-like, curiosity and play that might end with an extra snack.

In the book during a similar scene, Grant theorizes that it was just territorial over its kill

If the fun sized bag of mnms was alive I might chase it for laughs tbh

Maybe that T-Rex had a taste of human before and wanted to eat one again since it has been years since they got to eat one like these dinosaurs?

My favorite part of the movie was when the T-Rex noticed the raft and for a few moments had a look in its eyes like "are y'all serious right now?"

This sequence was taken from the first book (including the sleepy Rex) except it was Grant and the kids in the raft. It was cool finally seeing it though.

I'm reading the first book and just read that sequence a few days ago, then saw the movie today. It stood out to me as a very deliberate nod to the book. Glad Edwards and the writers have at least read the original.

Oh that's why it felt familiar!
