Pterodactyls Flying Off The Island Is Good?

"i really don't think a tiny flock of pterodactyls (if that's what they were) would cause a large problem for the world."
Exactly Caligula! The whole scene was juxtaposed with the arrival of the military on the island. You were expected to think that if any future problems were to occur, the military, rather than unarmed civilians would be on hand to deal with them. -

Yeah I thought Dr. Grant's reaction in particular was pretty weird, considering he understood as well as anyone else the grave implications of it. It was pretty inconsistent of him, after all his admonishments of people who wanted to go anywhere near dinosaurs.

I always thought it was a nod to the original, which also sees them flying at the end. In reality those birds could create some serious havoc. Think about it, it is a sunny Sunday afternoon and you see these giant birds thought to be extinct attacking everyone on the street. Unless someone had a shotgun on hand, those things are going to do damage before the cops or the army get there to terminate them.

But try telling it to the army: "There are pterodactyls flying around. Could you please do something about it"?
The army would likely just ignore them as mad-men or something. It is hard to believe to quite frankly. So it wouldn't do anything.
Also it doesn't mean that the pterodactyls would come so far. maybe they just fly around the island and back? -

Ummthose were the people who rescued them. And were flying back with them. Therefore able to see the dinosaurs

First movie:
The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. The animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die. -

I just finished watching and was thinking the same thing. I don't know if it was lazy writing, or if it will at least be addressed in the new one. I would certainly hope that they'll at least address why the place is now a park, with hundreds of visitors, why this was allowed and why anyone would actually go there on purpose!

that was pretty much my take at the ending as well everyone is just flying off into the sunset happy as can be including the Pterodactlys??!! why not just let the raptors and trex' onto the mainland too? i think Enid, Oklahoma would be a good home for the raptors frankly the warhips should be shooting them down over the open ocean and leaving them for chum imho
that speciaies is gonna wreak havoc wherever their 'new home' might be and dr.grant saying such a lame thing after all he's gone thru (and the implications of his being a stout anti-dio-island protestor in the tim in between then movies), being the dino-ecpert and all, he should be the first one yelling up to the pilots to blast those things out of the air it was an okay movie until then but that was just a real jack-a-mo of an ending
aside from the need for sequels, why didn't they go in an kill all the dinosaurs after the first failed experiment? if they could reproduce without males, then they could evolve into prehistoric aquatic or semi-aquatic dinos too and the next thing ya know, Tokyo's got one more giant lizard stompin the hell out of it on a regular basis ..
take care,
cormac
