At the end of JW:FK, the dinosaurs are out in the wild and Ian Malcolm basically says humans have to co-exist with them "Welcome to Jurassic World". However, there is no way in hell that would actually happen.

First off, the mosasaurus alone is an ecological disaster waiting to happen. It will eat all the fish, it will eat all the predators, it will eat the whales and the dolphins etc. A lot of creatures are going to go extinct if the mosasaurus is allowed to roam freely. There was even a surfer about to get eaten, not to mention ships of all kinds (cargo, military, cruise, etc) would be targets. With the mossosaurus on the loose, the sea is a no go area.

The triceratops, stegosaurus and brachiosaurus are going to eat crops and trees and quite a load of them, causing food shortages. They won't harm people but they are still going to cause issues.

Moving on to the pterodactyls, they're literally "death from above". Not only would they snatch up people from the ground (including toddlers since they'd be smaller, lighter and easier prey) but would also pose risk to aircraft (they crashed the helicopter in Jurassic World). Planes have trouble with pigeons and crows getting sucked into the engines, let alone a big massive murderous pterodactyl. Considering the mosasaurus makes sea travel too dangerous, air travel would be the next thing but the pterodactyls make that non-viable.

Then we move on to the carnivores such as the T-Rex and the raptor. The raptor has been shown to bite people's faces off and only responds to Chris Pratt's character, so if you're not Chris Pratt then you're screwed. The T-Rex goes where it pleases and also eats people. There is no way in hell the government would allow those to roam free because of the risk they pose to life. Even in the real world, if a polar bear wonders into town or a zoo animal get loose, attempts are made to capture it and remove it as quickly as possible. No way would it be "well we'll just have to learn to live with it."

We've already seen what happens when a T-Rex is allowed to roam around a populated area in Jurassic Park: The Lost World. There is an entire island (Isla Sorna) to ditch the dinosaurs on so that they can be free and safe, and Ian Malcolm should know this, considering he was actually there.

The dinosaurs are a national disaster that could wipe out the American population (since America is always where bad things happen, supernatural or dinosaur related) due to the danger they pose. Only cold places would be safe from the dinosaurs, due to them being cold blooded, but other countries can't support the entire population of the USA.

The pterodactyls and mosasaurus prevent food being flown/shipped in, the vegetarian dinosaurs prevent crops being grown, and the T-Rex and raptor prevent people from going outside unless they want to risk life and limb literally so there is no way to restock supplies. Also staying inside is no guarantee of safety, given the raptor and T-Rex have a habit of jumping through windows (imagine a big glass patio door) and destroying building structures. For the T-Rex, a trailer park is literally meals on wheels. The raptor was even shown to look down upon a populated town and sooner or later it will go down there, pray you're not a kid riding your bike in the street when it does.

InGen would go bankrupt with the number of lawsuits against them for dinosaur-related deaths and injuries., they'd be sued for the disaster they created. it's like the BP oil spill but worse.

The dinosaurs will probably eat a politician or two in the next movie to make the audience cheer for them, but the realistic response would be to kill the mosasaurus to make the oceans safe along with the pterodactyls, ship the herbivore dinosaurs to Isla Sorna (which is InGen's other island alongside the now destroyed Isla Nublar) then either kill the T-Rex and raptor or try and ship them to Isla Sorna as well (they shipped the T-Rex and baby back at the end of JP:TLW). There is no way the dinosaurs will still be in America at the end of the next movie, if they are then the amerian government are idiots.
 
No matter how destructive the various dinosaurs might be, they remain only single animals, all female, and therefore incapable of reproducing (unlike in Creighton's original book, where the species spontaneously changed sex in order o reproduce) One T Rex, one Raptor, one Triceratops, etc, isn't going to result in any sor of global threat.

As big and deadly as the Mosasaurus certainly is, it's still a single threat in a very large ocean. One U S Navy submarine with a few torpedoes would make sushi out of it in no time, unless, of course, the writers wanted to draw things out for dramatic effect, and that's all that we're talking about anyhow. (How anticlimactic would it be if the first person to encounter the Velocorapter just by chance was an elephant hunter sighting in his 600 Holland & Holland Double Express Rifle, and blew its brains out with one 600 grain bronze slug?)

We're not talking about the world suddenly being overrun with dinosaurs.
 
Yeah it's a poor film all round. Those muppets who released them should be arrested.
 
Here Spanky, just in case you didn't realise it, the Muppets who released the film were pink elephants.
What your last statement should have ended as should have been, 'I'm never seeing them now.'
 
It's sad to say I was happy when they decided to let them die at the end and then...like @Mr Trick said they needed a plot for part 3.

What, there was, I didn't notice any pink elephants, maybe if you ask Spanky.

As they were in the first movie too when they gave birth by 'learning' asexual reproduction. Life finds a way.

I thought that there was something said later about "correcting" that, so that it could never happen again, but I may be confusing it with Creighton's second book, or somewhere else altogether. Life may find a way, but my memory gets lost more and more often, the older I get.
 
I don't think Wild Dinosaurs are really a problem, pre-historic megafauna was wiped out before history proper began, and the Costa Rican government eliminated all the aberrant forms by the time Isla Sorna was discovered in the books. The distribution of Dino-Embryos to anyone who wants them, all across the world is the true concern, that's the biotech explosion that was the true theme of the first book, anyone who wants their own poorly secured Dino-Zoo can set one up now. Any Tom, Dick or Dodgson can make their own pet dinosaurs, their own military dinosaurs, their own commercial livestock dinosaurs and so forth. That's the real problem, not Moasaurus. Mankind's misuse of genetic technology. It shouldn't be planet of the apes with dinosaurs.
 
white avenger,
my memory often wanders but its great for confusing folk and if that ain't good enough for you read the post above me. The megafauna of pre-history was wiped out before history began, I'm sure that makes perfect sense. If you or I wrote that we could blame old age on it, not everyone has that ability, lucky ain't we? err what was we talking about?
 
Every Jurassic Park movie after the first one has the same fundamental problem of making the same point over and over again but also having to give the viewers what they really want to see.
They have to make the point that 'dinosaurs in the modern day' is dangerous and unnatural and 'poor dinosaurs' but also have to have 'DINOSAUR RAMPAGE!' (which is what everyone really wants).

In the first trilogy this was basically done by having humans invade the island to do 'dumb stuff' like kidnap dinosaurs for a mainland theme park or look for annoying children who crash landed there.

In the reboot its just repackaged as 'genetically engineered dinosaur is evil monster (plus all the stupid/mercenary humans) but is opposed by the 'natural/ good' dinosaurs who work together (or with good humans) to defeat said 'mutatated dinosaur'. 🙄
JW: Fallen Kingdom is a poor remake of an already poor sequel (The Lost World).
 
There goes humanity down the drain. That story that Adam and Eve and T-Rex was just shot down as a health issue. But on the bright side, T-Rex thinks humanity is like we think of chicken.
 
It seems as if they have forgotten about the second island. I agree that Fallen Kingdom is kind of a remake of The Lost World, but unlike Lost World, I like Fallen Kingdom. It brought back some of the horror elements that I like in the original Jurassic Park, unfortunately it does not spend a lot of time on the island. I wanted to explore more of what was underwater. The Indoraptor is a terrible name, but I do like the idea of hybrids in the Jurassic World movies, and it brought up human cloning. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't really have thesis statement about those ideas, so there's no clear theme or message. Are we suppose to be happy that the dinosaurs are finally free? Because I would be terrified if I knew a T-Rex was roaming around the states.

I would have no doubt that the military would step in an try to either capture or kill the dinosaurs. Some of the dinos are really big and can be visibly seen from the sky, so they would not be hard to find. The movie presents us with the idea that dinos have rights and it's wrong to kill them. But that sort of contradicts what the first movie said about dinosaurs. As Ian Malcolm said, "Dinosaurs had their chance, and nature SELECTED them for extinction". It's not clear why now, in the new movies, "real" dinosaurs are find they're just animals, but hybrid dinosaurs are terrible. Anyways that was a longer rant than I expected, I just love the Jurassic movies even if they are not all good. But to answer the original question of why it makes no sense, is because the movie gives us no reason to care about the dinosaurs roaming free. There is no overall message. The closest thing I can think of is that the notion that just because something was created unnaturally, doesn't mean it shouldn't deserve to live. But that really only applies to the little girl. I still like the movie though! lol
