13 Dumb Decisions In Jurassic Park Movies We Can't Forgive
3. The Granddaughter Is Actually A Cloned Daughter - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
One thing to remember about the Jurassic Park franchise is that the dinosaurs were resurrected with the power of science, and more observant fans did point out long ago that if the technology can bring back extinct animals, could it bring back humans?
This question is answered in Fallen Kingdom, and while it might have made for an interesting twist, it ultimately comes down to being one of the dumbest decisions in the entire franchise.
Jurassic Park is about dinosaurs in the modern day, not about crazy scientists bringing their daughters back to like and pretending they're their granddaughters.
The mythology of John Hammond (and now Lockwood) wasn't something any Jurassic Park fan cared about, but Fallen Kingdom goes out its way to deep-dive into the family heritage and the technology of the series to make the token kid of the movie a clone.
Maisie was a character that had one job; be the screaming, terrified child that the heroes had to save. Making her part of the plot in such a convoluted, and crazy way is not only a dumb diversion from the plot, but also hijacks the excitement of dinosaurs in the modern day.
Fingers crossed that was all a dream.
