Jurassic World Tops Movie Mistakes List

Creating a theme park full of deadly, genetically modified creatures isn’t the only mistake made in ‘Jurassic World’.

There are loads of continuity ones too.

Website MovieMistakes.com is naming the billion-dollar-grossing blockbuster the film with the most errors for 2015 so far.

It claims that the movie, directed by Colin Trevorrow and starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt, features a solid 18 blunders over its two-hour run time.

For example, during the scene in which park boss Claire Dearing (Howard) finds her nephew’s Zach’s phone, the screen is broken – only to miraculously fix itself moments later.

Then there’s the time that Chris Pratt’s wise-cracking ranger Owen manages to speak without his mouth moving at the waterfall.

There’s also rangers somehow switching weapons, crew members seen in reflections and wet hairstyles changing willy nilly.

Some of the issues – while arguably valid – are a tad more loose, mind.

One points out the 'physical impossibility’ of Claire being able to sprint across jungle terrain for a good portion of the movie in four-inch high heels, which she is still wearing at the very end – which actually is probably fair enough.

Another suggests that restarting a jeep abandoned in a damp garage for 20 years, as Zach and Gray do while lost in the park, might have proved trickier than simply changing the battery.

Again, that’s probably fair enough.

But even so, 'Jurassic World’ is streaks ahead from the other leading mistake-makers.

'Termintor Genisys’ comes in at number two with nine errors (including a Prius visible in a scene purported to be 1997 and hair moving arbitrarily between loose and ponytail).

Then there’s 'Mad Max: Fury Road’ with eight, 'Ant-Man’ also with eight, and 'Tomorrowland’ with seven (frankly the least of its problems).

Trevorrow can, however, console himself with the fact that the movie did pretty well, despite some continuity and footwear-based issues.

Thus far, it’s made $1.65 billion (just over £1 billion) around the world, and likely helped snare him the director’s role on 'Star Wars IX’, due out in 2019.
