14 WTF Moments From 2018's Summer Blockbusters

13. Maisie Is A Clone...For Some Reason - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

The latest Jurassic Park movie is jam-packed with weird s***, but nothing more than the oddball reveal that Benjamin Lockwood's (James Cromwell) "granddaughter" Maisie (Isabella Sermon) is actually a clone of his own dead daughter.

This is implied early in the movie, but it's not until much later on that we finally get confirmation. Ultimately, though, the big reveal is basically dropped in the audience's lap and just left to linger without much rhyme or reason.

Clearly the sole motivation for this twist was to make Maisie relate to the dinosaurs more ahead of that climax, but it ultimately ends up feeling too silly and forced for its own good.

At least they didn't have Maisie be part-raptor or something, though knowing the luck of Jurassic Park fans, that's probably being saved for the next movie. Have mercy...
