7 Movie Plots That Could Have Been Resolved In Five Minutes

The Plot: In Jurassic World, Claire - the park's operations manager - runs a thermal scan of the Indominus Rex's pen, which comes back negative. Assuming it's escaped, she drives back to the main control room, calling ahead along the way to ask her crew to check the creature's tracker.

Meanwhile, Owen and a couple of technicians have entered the supposedly-empty enclosure. Here, the tracker confirms that the pen is actually not empty, and the dinosaur escapes through one of the doors opened by a fleeing technician.

From here, the Indominus wreaks havoc on the island, destroying everything in its path. Put simply, if the dino stays in the paddock, there is no movie.

How It Could've Been Resolved Quickly: Annoyingly, the whole Indominus escape sequence only happens because of a completely stupid series of [easily-preventable] dominoes falling on top of each other.

For starters, Claire could have easily called to check on the tracker while she was still at the Indominus' pen. Why does she have to drive off and make the call while she's behind the wheel? If she sticks by the pen, she'd be able to confirm the Indominus was still inside, stop people from opening the enclosure doors, remove the possibility of it escaping, and end the movie there and then.

But okay, let's say that Claire does drive off: why on Earth would anyone voluntarily enter a paddock that may or may not contain a deadly, carnivorous dinosaur? Bear in mind, Owen does this before he knows for certain that it's empty. It's just reckless, stupid decision making that nobody in their right mind would go through with.

Just in terms of pure common sense, either of these two scenarios would have prevented the desolation of the park and saved hundreds of lives.
