10 Movie Reveals So Bad You Almost Walked Out

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a film of two halves - one a disaster flick set on Isla Nublar in the midst of a volcanic eruption, and the other a quasi-horror movie set on a fancy estate on the American mainland.

But it's also a film that introduces a head-scratching narrative wrinkle after the action shifts away from Isla Nublar to the estate of Sir Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell).

Shortly after we meet Lockwood's granddaughter Maisie (Isabella Sermon), it's heavily implied that Maisie is in fact a clone of Lockwood's dead daughter, as is then later confirmed.

You know what nobody ever asked for in a Jurassic Park movie? Human cloning. Even the whole "human-dinosaur hybrids with guns" shtick we almost got in Jurassic World would've probably felt slightly less out-of-place than this.

And to top it all off, at the end of the film it becomes clear precisely why this off-kilter subplot was introduced - to give Maisie some kinship with the dinosaurs and justify her letting them loose into the world.

All the same it doesn't really convince, but rather than quietly forget about the poorly received subplot, follow-up Jurassic World Dominion further muddied the waters by retconning Maisie's origin story and revealing that Lockwood's daughter birthed Maisie herself.
