* As noted in WhatHappenedToTheMouse, there's the matter of Denise and the other Biosyn employees after Dodgson gives the order to allow the dinosaurs into the facility. Sure they're seen proceeding to the exits with haste but we never see them actually leaving. Did they all make it out of Biosyn Valley safely without running into any dinosaurs, namely Rexy, [[spoiler: Buck and Doe]], ''Giganotosaurus'', ''Dilophosaurus'' or any of the other carnivores (or that territorial ''[[XenophobicHerbivore Therizinosaurus]]''? And if they flew, how did they get past ''Quetzalcoatlus'' and the other flyers with the Aerial Deterrent System still down?

* During the final battle, while Rexy in unconscious, there is a brief moment where she flashes back to the death of her ancestor 65 million years ago. Right after this, she wakes up and starts her HeroicSecondWind. Was this flashback just a stylistic choice, or did Rexy somehow remember ''her past self's death?'' And if that's the case, what else does she remember? Has Rexy known for a long time that she is from a different world? This implies that, somehow, some of the dinosaurs' memories passed onto their clones genetically, ''and the smarter ones may be aware that they do not belong in the modern day.'' Imagine not only finding out that the world you came from is long gone, but also remembering your own death!

*** Maisie is simply an intentionally cloned genetic copy of her mother created as a zygote or a fetus, then gestated and raised conventionally. She is not part monitor lizard which is the mechanism that allowed Blue to asexually reproduce.

* When Owen, Maisie and Alan have Beta cornered in the boiler room, she's trying to decide who to attack first and settles on Alan. Why? Because one, he's the oldest of the trio and therefore the weakest, something Blue would have taught her about picking out targets. Also, he's the stranger of the three and therefore, doesn't count as "pack"; Maisie bonded with Beta at least twice up to this point and earned her trust and she's seen Owen and her mother interact somewhat amicably at least once so he counts as "pack" also. Plus Blue would have "told" her that Owen is or at least once was her alpha and thus worthy of respect as a pack member, not prey.

* Since Blue is now capable of self-reproduction, who's to say that her child Beta isn't capable of doing the same as well? Not only that, the Dino Tracker viral marketing website established that [[Film/JurassicParkIII at least a couple]] of the ''Velociraptors'' from Isla Sorna made it to the mainland somehow, and we know for sure that they can reproduce as well. Alan Grant's fears of ''Velociraptors'' threatening humanity's dominance in the ecosystem in the third movie could have proven true yet as the raptors are capable of reproducing themselves, and this time they're no longer confined to the islands anymore but out loose in North America. One or a few raptors are already troublesome to deal with. Imagine how much damage ''whole packs'' of wild ''Velociraptors'' will be capable of.

*** What are the triggers? Do they require Maisie to be a minimum age or could we have a 14 year old finding herself pregnant with no idea what happened? And if they try to get her medical help, how many people would believe she's a clone with dinosaur genes and not that she was abused by the men looking after her? Do they dinosaur genes mean she will be like other humans in which it is normally single births with some twins and triplets and occasionally more or more like dinosaur in numbers which, given how much room a single baby can take up in a mother, could prove fatal if the number is large enough to literally tear her open.

* The chip that Biosyn puts in the dinosaurs' heads leads them to shelter during the climactic forest fire, but it doesn't stifle their behavior whatsoever. Once they're all together, Rexy and ''Giganotosaurus'' duke it out, which carries unfortunate implications for the herbivores side-by-side with carnivores. [[WhatAnIdiot Did no one stop to consider this?]]

* Maisie's backstory on the surface seems contradictory and full of [[PlotHole plot holes]] between the "official" and "cover" stories, but it actually makes perfect sense once you look at it from the start, and some evidence shown in the movie. Based on the Isla Nublar videos, Charlotte Lockwood was likely born around 1972, and Dr. Wu implies that she was a very bright kid, possibly even a ChildProdigy who became a geneticist early in her life. She'd have been 21 when the [[Film/JurassicPark first film]]'s events happened, which could be the age where she discovered her infertility/sterility, and thus around this time began working on having a child by cloning herself, but still lived a regular life, and gave lectures like the one she did at Ellie Sattler's university, where she befriended and confided in Ellie of her efforts to have a child. Eventually, Hammond found out about this, and when Benjamin Lockwood stood by Charlotte, it caused their falling out, hence Hammond's actions in the [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark second movie]]. In all of Charlotte's videos, she's alone in the basement labs of her home; it's more than likely that she did all of the research into her self-cloning by herself with no outside help, to the point where she spent all her time from before 1997 in the labs and not interacting with the world, effectively disappearing. It took her ten years to finally perfect the complex cloning process on a human, which allowed her to have Maisie. Then upon discovering her own genetic illness, she quickly worked to clean it out from Maisie as her last act in life. As this was in 2009, Eli Mills--assuming he shares Creator/RafeSpall's age--would have recently finished college and been hired to handle Lockwood's finances, and thus unlikely to be let in on the secret. Thus, only Iris Carroll, Henry Wu, John Hammond, Ellie Sattler, and Benjamin Lockwood likely knew the truth. However, there still needed to be an explanation for a young girl living in the Lockwood estate. Wishing to preserve his daughter's legacy, and because no one had seen Charlotte Lockwood since at the latest 1997, it would've been easy for Lockwood to come up with the cover story for Maisie's background, falsely claiming to outsiders (like Mills) that Charlotte died in a car accident years earlier and that Maisie was his granddaughter with the "truth" being that he spent years trying to clone her since then until he finally succeeded and Maisie was born. In addition, this movie makes it clear that Maisie's existence was largely kept secret from the outside world, meaning no one knew that Lockwood supposedly had a granddaughter even though his own daughter supposedly died years earlier.

* The fact that Dodgson’s plans with the locusts could have very well caused TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. One man’s attempt to hold the world ransom by creating prehistoric super-locusts to destroy the worlds crops except those created by his company so he could line his own pockets threatened ''the earths entire biosphere''. The results of which would have essentially been ''Literature/TheRoad'' but with dinosaurs had Wu not had a HeelFaceTurn and eradicated the locusts before that happened.

** ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'' established that predators and prey can coexist side-by-side without killing one another if brought together because of something mutually beneficial, be it a watering hole or escaping from a large-scale disaster. Unless Biosyn has an ''Indominus'' or a ''Scorpius rex'' lurking somewhere in its compound, the herbivores have little to fear.

* Despite the fears laid out at the end of ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome the dinosaurs are not ecological disaster threatening humanity's survival]]. At worst, they became invasive species that often come into conflicts with humans and other wild animals, but the big ones can be contained and monitored by governments and wildlife organizations. In short, dinosaurs are AwesomeButImpractical to actually deal real extinction to humanity. So what genetically engineered monster(s) can really cause human extinction? Small creatures that breed rapidly and compete for the same food sources as humans, aka [=BioSyn=]'s locusts. These modified hybrid insects are the most destructive and dangerous genetic lifeforms on the planet because they specialize on consuming the plants that feed billions of people. Without adequate food supplies, billions of people will starve to death, creating the mass extinction event that the dinosaurs, even hybrid dinosaurs, alone could never achieve.

* If the Buck and Doe tyrannosaurs had been living in the [=BioSyn=] valley, presumably brought over from with the initial wave of Sorna migrants, why was the ''Giganotosaurus'' the apex and only challenged when Rexy was introduced? Surely a pair of ''T. rexes'' would have ousted it.
