12 Most Iconic Moments In Jurassic Park Franchise History

12. Leaving The Dinosaurs Behind - Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom

For the most part, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was something of a disappointment. The fact that there had been yet another genetically modified hybrid dinosaur created seemed almost lazy after the Indominus Rex of Jurassic World, however the movie was not all bad.

There was one scene that stood out in particular. As the volcano that had threatened the entire island erupted, Grady and co. made it onto the boat to escape, but their relief soon turned to anguish as they looked back to see a single Brachiosaurus left behind.

There has been no shortage of dinosaur deaths throughout the franchise, but this one was harder to watch than any other. As the boat sailed away, the gigantic sauropod was left behind to die, engulfed by the flames and the smoke that almost killed the park's visitors.

This scene was shot spectacularly, as the dinosaur was reduced to a silhouette behind the the veil of deadly smoke. This wasn't just any dinosaur however, this has been confirmed by director J.A. Bayona to be the very same Brachiosaurus that Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler first saw when they landed on Isla Nublar in 1993. This represented our attachment to these dinosaurs, and is one of the most heart breaking scenes throughout any of the five movies.
