Intro [0:03]
The pitch meeting begins with the discussion of a new Jurassic movie, described as a soft reboot of the franchise. It's revealed that the movie will introduce another dino island with a secret lab where mutant dinosaurs were being created. The destruction of the containment system is triggered by a Snickers wrapper, leading to the release of the mutant dinos.
The Setup: New Characters and Mission [0:55]
The movie jumps to 2027, where dinosaurs struggle to survive alongside humans, leading to a decline in public interest. A rich pharma guy, Krebs, hires operative Zora and paleontologist Dr. Lumis to retrieve DNA samples from the secret island for medical research. They team up with Concaid and his team, meeting in the equator before heading to the island.
The Journey and Shipwreck [2:33]
On their way to the island, the team rescues a family attacked by water dinos, bringing them along on their mission. They are then attacked and shipwrecked on the island, splitting the team and the family into separate storylines. The family's story feels disconnected from the main plot.
Island Survival and Encounters [3:11]
The team aims to reach an extraction point within 24 hours, while Dr. Lumis has an emotional moment touching a dinosaur. The family's story involves the little girl befriending a baby dino named Dolores and encountering a T-Rex. The older daughter inflates a raft in front of the T-Rex, leading to a river escape where the little girl is briefly captured but rescued.
Extraction Point and Final Boss [4:12]
At the extraction point, the lights attract mutant raptors, leading to a scene reminiscent of the original Jurassic Park kitchen scene, but with more product placements. The evil rich guy tries to steal the samples but is eaten by the D-Rex, a T-Rex with useful arms and a head injury.
Escape and Resolution [4:50]
The D-Rex is attracted to light, making escape difficult. Concaid sacrifices himself to lure it away with a flare but survives. The team picks him up, and they escape on a boat. The little girl brought Dolores with her, despite the earlier statement that dinosaurs couldn't survive alongside humans. The good guys intend to share the samples with the world, despite still being in dino-infested waters.
