Description
Quick pic of the saddest scene I have watched on the big screen in YEARS. I genuinely got a little choked up, because that was the first dinosaur we ever saw on our very first trip to Isla Nublar in 1993..... and it was the last dinosaur we saw as Isla Nublar burnt up.Related content

This was my favorite part of the movie, in that it was also the most heart wrenching to watch. Iβve been a long time fan of the Jurassic Park franchise, I remember I was 4 the first time I watched the 1st movie on VHS and I absolutely loved it and when I saw that little homage to the first movie when they reached the old Jurassic World area, I was absolutely thrilled, But then this scene happened. I was almost on the verge of tears watching it slowly move up the dock, crying for the boat to come back and rescue it (fuck those poachers btw)Β

Man this scene had me in tears. I'm right there with ya, I grew up watching these movies as a small child and enjoyed reading the books as a teenager. It felt like my heart had been pulled out when I saw this scene. Like Jollyjack said, this is the saddest scene I've watched in probably the last decade or so. I'm just glad the poachers and the ass hat in charge got their just deserts at the end. Abandoning the poor girl like that was just to cruel. My only regret is that ONCE AGAIN, Wu gets to slink away and see another day.

Now see, thatβs why a small part of me hopes for a sequel where Wu finally gets completely destroyed by his creations, letβs see where your god complex is then

From what I've heard they are making another movie, so lets hope that smug bastard gets his at some point and the dinos don't end up suffering for the actions of mankind.

just be glad those poacher's and the main villain of the film got hit with some massive karmaΒ

Oh believe me, I laughed my ass off at the last death in the movie (You know which one Iβm talking about)

yea i liked how it referenced that 1 scene from the lost world, also here's a scene i found funny: any of the scenes that involved the Stigymoloch
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, come to think, there are a lot of scenes dedicated to fucking up the bad guys in hilariously gruesome ways, the older top poacher, the bidder, the guy who was running the operation, Doctor Wu (in a way)

yea the movie really did show how much of a bastard the enemy was, and the fact they decided to play fucking god again i mean did they learn NOTHING when Indominus broke lose and caused fucking mayhem in the previous film?!

This is a beautiful homage to easily the saddest scene in the entire series. Well done.

You know, that's very true.. It was sad when boat just get far enough, the old brachiosaurus just arrived to the dock but to late.
Everyone on the ship looked whenΒ brachiosaurus was slowly dying out.

That was truly awful, it died so horribly.

I get a little choked up at hearing the original music score because it reminds me we lost Dickie.

One of the best moments in the franchise, and easily the high point of the movie.Β
And I say this as someone who REALLY ENJOYED Fallen Kingdom.Β

That scene really got to me too when I saw this yesterday. But, I ended up hating the ending and what that little brat did.
π: 0 β©: 2
Quite honestly I probably would've let the dinos free, albeit for different reasons.
π: 0 β©: 0
Actually, that 'Little Brat' was an Ingen-made Dino-Human Hybrid Clone, just like the Dinosaurs, And her DNA may have been used to create the Indoraptor... Or the Prototype Indoraptor DNA may have been used to create her.
It's why she opened the doors. She understood that they were like her,Β
That means the Third Jurassic World Movie may have Human Dinosaurs Hybrids...

She just a human clone. No dino in her. Lol

So now hundreds of innocent people and animals are going to be injured or killed by giant, prehistoric creatures because she felt a connection with them? No offense, but that is a VERY selfish and dumb reason to allow them to live. Plus, these things can easily be brought back, since they're genetic creations. Just get some blood, or a few scales after they die, fire up the gene splicer, and BAM, new dinos. The whole point of these movies is to show what happens when man tries to play God with things beyond his control. Like Dr. Ian Malcom said "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should." What's not to stop Blue or the T-Rex from eating innocent campers/hikers, or the Pterosaurs from grabbing people and dropping them to their death? The giant herbivores are not good either, because while they may not eat meat, they can still easily trample someone to death, or impale them on their horns/spikes.

I'm sure that someone will chime in with how (they think) Woman would play the game (much less remake this world/universe).
Personally, I'd just give everyone (over, I don't know...18? 13? 5?) a pocket universe to escape to and make their own.
The reality we're currently tolerating, for all its wonders, has way too many weasels running around (and not the playful/fun kind either). -_-U
*watches a few classic cartoons to clear his head*

Personally, I'm a little tired of the Hollywood trope of "Man should not play God."Β It was a silly premise in the Boris Karloff Frankenstein, and it gets sillier every time Hollywood copies the trope.Β And they do it.Β Every.Β Single.Β Time.Β Find me any two movies where the human race makes a scientific breakthrough and the plot of the movie isn't to show how it bites them in the ass.Β (Or flat out bites their ass off, in the case of anything biological.)Β Other than Rex, and a tiny handful of other surviving carnivores, all the escaping dinosaurs are herbivores.Β Other than size, most of them are roughly as threatening to the human race as a buffalo.Β (Keep your distance, don't be stupid, and let them eat your damn flower garden.)Β I suspect most of the human casualties from the Jurrasic Park survivors will be from idiots trying to get a selfie, and getting smooshed when their phone starts to ring.Β Humans are a way bigger threat to them.Β Rednecks and poachers will be out to pick them off, and even the bigger ones are going to get pretty messed up if they wander into traffic.Β Heck, even the part where they eat someone's flower bed could finish them off - tons of decorative plants are astoundingly toxic.Β That was the point of the scene with the sick triceratops in the first movie - it had eaten something modern and nearly died because it didn't realize it was dangerous.
And at least as far as I caught in the dialogue, the girl was "just" a clone of the daughter.Β What made her special was that she was a successful human clone, presumably a perfect copy of the original.Β A possible path to a kind of immortality, depending on your point of view.Β In her case, the ethical dilemma was that she was *human,* and therefore her creation was *obviously* unethical as hell.

Whoa, whoa - these are cautionary tales; Marie Shelley's "Frankenstein" was written in 1816 - aka "The Year Without A Summer" - and draws on prior folklore, such as the Golem, and the Dragon's Teeth in Jason and the Argonauts.
There is always the worry of the new and strange; mythology is full of stories of younger generations of gods who rise up and slay the elder generation of gods who spawned them, and in turn worry about the next generation doing the same to them.Β And we have real-world examples, when Europeans arrived in the Americas and brought diseases that wiped out the local populations.

The Hollywood version of Frankenstein is much, much different than the original novel.Β In the Hollywood version, the monster is inherently flawed, fated to destroy everything around it because man dared to meddle in the affairs of God, and can't do it right.Β In the novel, the monster *looked* hideous, but actually started out with the *potential* to be kind and noble.Β His creator took one look at the appearance of his finished creation and *abandoned* him.Β But the monster still tried to be kind and just at first.Β He found a hiding place under a peasant hovel, and stopped stealing their food when he realized the hardship it caused.Β He'd take the son's woodcutting tools and sneak out at night, providing them with several days worth of firewood.Β He tried to present himself to the father (who was blind) hoping for a fair introduction to the others.Β It went wrong when the son came home, saw the massive and horrifying looking creature sitting in their house and tried to drive him off.
Even when the monster went bad, it was from crippling isolation and loneliness, and the knowledge that his creator/father had *abandoned* him.Β Even then, the death and destruction he caused was limited to the friends and belongings of Frankenstein.Β He wasn't out to kill people at random - he wanted to punish Frankenstein for the crime of creating him and then running away.Β At the end of the story, his creator finally dead, the monster explains everything to the ship captain and then leaves to destroy *himself* because he can't bear to live in a world that rejects him so completely.Β The Hollywood message of "Man should not play God" is nowhere to be found in the original story.Β The monster wasn't evil by nature, or destructive.Β He went bad because *humans* were fearful and ignorant, and couldn't bear to look at him long enough to realize that he could be more than he appeared to be.Β His *creator* failed him, and left him alone in a world that hated and feared him for the unforgivable crime of being different than they were.

> Personally, I'm a little tired of the Hollywood trope of "Man[children] should not play God."
As long as there are (overly rich) fools who think they're better than everyone outside their personal bubble (not to mention audiences for this tired cliche), there will always be market for films that punish them for their 'hubris'.
To be fair, I'm, actually, tired of the 'invincible killer' and 'asshole aliens' cliches (among others) but, for every by-the-numbers entry in a genre, there will be some (rare) exceptions (and, later, more riders on the bandwagon).
- ET, for example, gave audiences a friendly alien
- The first two Alien films gave us a badass 'Action Heroine' via Ripley.
- IIRC, Joyride had its angry (muther)trucker focus his horrific acts on the people who pranked him.
and
- The Last Action Hero, for all its warts, deconstructed the 'Action Movie' genre rather nicely.
(Feel free to list other examples, folks.)
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a genie film where wishes *didn't* go wrong and a crossover flick that revisited (if not updated) some old favorites.
Until the latter arrives, we have classics like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Wreck-It Ralph to tide us over.
May creativity and imagination never run dry.

For Blue, that's a No. She's been Living in Jurassic World and would know what is not-prey.
And by your 'Logic', your saying that the Dinos won't be cloned. That Ingen are not going to make their Super Soldiers.
And 'Easily Brought Back'? You CAN'T bring back Rexy! She's the Oldest of the Surviving Dinos, the Most Iconic, and is the One who survived since Jurassic Park! She Dies, She is not coming back. Her memories, her experience... All that made her the impressive T-Rex would be lost forever, and a Clone of her would get Torn apart by Ingen's monsters.
That's likely to be the Third Movie. Ingen is still making their Hybrids. The Kid, the Indoraptor? Those two were PROTOTYPES. Ingen is more than likely going to have Super Soldiers and Bioweapons by The Third Film. They would get what they wanted from the Start of Jurassic Park, and the Dinos dying via Gas, is going to make them succeed all the more, because the One thing that would stop them, is Dead.

I never said the Dinos won't be cloned, that's a given. What I'm saying is them trying to make letting those super powerful and deadly creatures roam free seem like a noble thing to do is stupid. And honestly, yeah the T-Rex nostalgia for being the original top carnivore from the series would make anyone feel bad of her being gone, but she's still loose out there, ready to kill any random person that wanders her way. Plus, who is not to say she won't head towards a populated area and go on an eating spree? At the end of the movie we see her brake into what appears to be a zoo or something, meaning people getting picked off easily. If the movie ended in a way that prevented the Dinos from getting set loose into the human world, like they actually went to the island sanctuary they showed in the beginning, then I would have no problem. You could still see the ones the bad guys took away being taken somewhere, have InGen still do there genetic evil, and show the girl actually be a Dino/Human hybrid clone, all without the potential of having tons of people be killed for no good reason. The giant water Dinosaur is an exception, because it got out from InGen goons making too many mistakes(still how it survived without a reliable food source still annoys me). Her letting them go is like someone letting plague rats free into the wild, because they felt bad for them. They didn't just keep Pandora's box open by doing that, they pretty much picked the box up, turned it upside down, and started shaking it to get the evils to come out faster.

You missed the Point. Rexy dies, No Movie.
π: 0 β©: 1
What about Blue then? She's becoming the focal point of the series now. Plus, in the second and third Jurassic Park movies, Rexy wasn't in those. Those were other T-rexes. Hell, the third one actually kills off the T-rex, just to show how strong the Spinosaurus is. Yes, Rexy is a strong point of the movie series' continuity, but even if she's gone a new T-rex, possibly an offspring or clone, would take her place. Honestly, if the dinos had managed to escape, rather than being set free, like the giant water dinosaur, I wouldn't be miffed. At least then you could blame the bad guys for bringing them to the mainland in first place. These were the good guys, and they let harmful, destructive creatures free. At leastΒ Claire understood the issues of what I'm talking about, which is why she decided to not let them loose in the first place. Yes, it was sad to see them suffer for that time, but it would be the sensible thing to do. The scene where theΒ Stygimoloch(who I've lovingly named Knucklehead in my own head, because the thick skulled dinos are one of my favorite kinds) escapes by accident after being set loose was fine for me, because it got out by accident. This ending was not.
