They waited two months to look for their son?

funny because in another post on this forum you said it was stupid that they moved on from Bens death really quickly….they did this because they were more interested in finding their son.
Action movies never cover the grieving process.
I dunno about you but if I saw a skeleton of my lover like that I would not be able to calm down and get over it in a matter of seconds.
They kidnapped 2 guys and lied to some dangerous mercenaries…
I dunno about you but I thought it sucked they didn't get to use that gun that shot the exploding ammo.
You are not at all annoyed that Grant seemed to have a vision of the future while on the plane yet never mentions it?
That was a short nightmare and we do not always think they predict the future.
I was under the impression it had to do with his past experiences with them.
That they found a parachute that had been tangled in a tree on a tropical island for 2 months but it still worked AND they just happened to have someone who knew how to use it in the group?
That is a good point.
I forgot the assistant's name so for now I will call him John Doe or JD.
I will bring up something about him at the end as well as another thought…
Your ok with the Trex being treated like a bitch?
Yeah, I was.
the fact that they could hear a ringtone inside a massive dinosaurs body but NOT hear its footsteps?
Good point.
And whomever was calling just happened to be calling right at that exact moment the dino is there!
And why didn't that dino get his fill of TRex meat or from other bigger dinos?
Why go after the snack plate instead?
The fact that Ellie and Grant were randomly broke up in this film yet the end of JP1 suggested they were going to have kids?
Good point. No argument from me on that one.
The fact that a Raptor seemed to know what purpose an incubation tube served?
I was more bothered that the Raps. cared about the eggs at all.
I thought reptiles just laid them and left them and never looked back.
The fact that they never revealed what dinosaur killed the boat guys at the start?
Yeah, I wondered about that too.
And how did JD escape the killer birds and end up on the military transport?
And why didn't the military step in and help out in the first place?
Of course we would not have had our adventure movie.
The Kirbys really aint the worst thing in this film lol
Maybe not but my plot hole just adds to the others.
They should have had a shorter and more believable time until the Kirbs got there.
The other thing that bugs me is that, just like in all other movies, the non red shirts get all the time in the world to get out of the dangerous situation even with villain dinos surrounding them.
They killed red shirt Michael Jeter last because he was the most well known character actor in the small parts.

It was all in aid of letting the audience know that Eric may have been a kid but he is a capable kid, able to survive 2 months on a dinosaur island using his wit and dino knowledge alone.
Because if they DID NOT establish this, then fans would be complaining about the fact that this normal everyday kid survived a whole week/day/month/whatever time frame you prefer on dinosaur island. -

It is obvious that we are both going to be stubborn with our viewpoints on this and are not going to change them so the only way to settle this is to agree to disagree.
I seriously doubt the embassy and military would have turned it's back on rescuing two lost Americans on an island of an ally.
Of course they do for the movie so that we can get our adventure movie.

The main characters played by the bigger stars will of course live to the end even when the odds are against them while the non main ones are dino chow.
See JP1 where Rex just bumps it's head against the side of the jeep instead of grabbing someone out of it.

That is because they were keeping still and it could not see them, it could not really see the car either as it was not moving, bumping its head on the side was it being curious about this weird object that it has never smelt before. They cover all of this in the movie that I dont think you actually watched properly lol -

But lots of people died in JP1 that were not red shirts?
Muldoon
Nedry
Gennaro
were all characters with flesh out personalities. Muldoon was the surly and cautious game warden who had a specific hatred for the Raptors, Nedry was the fat greedy nerd who put peoples lifes at risk for money and Gennaro was a greedy man who changed his tune when he realised just how much money could be made.
But yeah, the mercs in JP 3 were very much red shirts wrote in so the film could meet its kill quota while protecting the more well know actors.
And this is one of the many reasons why JP1 is considered a cinematic master piece yet every other JP film after range from
meh
to
Ewwww
Thanks for starting this thread btw, I dont often get the chance to discuss my most loved movie these days -

when you said bumping its head rather than pulling them out, did you mean when it was chasing the RED jeep? because yeah, i always thought it was stupid that it did that rather than try and grab the humans in the open top car.

oh my bad, I thought you ment the red shirts get all the time to escape lol I didnt read it properly.
But yeah ur right, even when they killed off a main character, they didnt actually kill him off lol ( Billy )
This is why I do not watch that Camp cartoon on netflix even tho it is cannon, because as the main stars are teenagers i know for a fact they will never die, no matter how dire the situation.
Just ONCE i wanna see an R rated JP film with no kids who are obviously gunna survive. -

They killed red shirt Michael Jeter last because he was the most well known character actor in the small parts.
Just for the record, Jeters character was supposed to die right after the plane crashed and Nash, the big black guy, was supposed to die the death that Jeter had. in fact he was supposed to make a last stand and pick up a big stick and fight the raptors before they eventually killed him, but they changed it because Bruce Young ( Nash ) had other **** to do.
