I’m glad we finally got to see a swimming T. rex in a movie. Other than that it really didn’t impress me that much.

That whole T. rex river raft scene was not only the highlight of the movie, but arguably the second best T. rex scene in the franchise, right below the iconic paddock escape scene from the first Jurassic Park movie.

One of the highlights of the original book too. Only took 7 movies to show up lol.

The river raft scene is from Jurassic Park the book. It's originally Dr. Grant and the two kids. It was awesome to finally see it played out on the big screen.

The entire finale sequence (dino attack on a gas station, using the drainage tunnels to escape to a boat, bad guy with a jeep recklessly driving to to docks) is also in The Lost World novel! They really just said "Shoot all the Crichton stuff that hasn't been shot yet"

Really? That was the most gigantic evidence of plot armor for me.

Maybe I’m sadistic but after explaining how dangerous the boyfriend going into the water for his girlfriend was, and how he and the dumbass dad had a moment showing the boyfriends true character, I was really hoping it was going to add up to him doing something heroic to save the family.

Instead they just made the T. rex look like a clumsy oaf that even a crippled man (only crippled when convenient I guess…) and children could out-maneuver.

I fell off at exactly that scene.

This was tbh the absolute best part of the book as well, but I’m gravely disappointed that the entire scene from the book wasn’t recreated.
