Movies

Security:

• Why didn't they just use the GPS signal to verify if Indominus Rex (from now on called I Rex) was inside the pen or not? None of the movie would have happened had they done that second check to verify.
• The I Rex only has one layer of security: a single gate. They could have built a second pen area around the first, and perhaps even a third. Cameras around the I Rex pen could have also helped verify that it did not escape, along with more security staff to monitor the entire situation.
• The I Rex pen does not require a gate. Seriously, why does it have a gate? If they needed to transport IR, they could have done so via helicopter, or they could have built the attraction over the IR pen.
• The T Rex pen is just a few feet away from the main attractions?
• The T Rex just goes and chills out afterwards?
• Why no explosive devices inside the dino skulls? The security systems rely on every creature having an implant. Implant an explosive charge to remotely and safely kill any rampaging dinosaurs.
• So the gyroballs can just be piloted by the visitors? Nothing stops visitors from mistakenly wandering into a situation they shouldn't and getting attacked?
• According to the final fight between the two Rexes, the sidewalk in the main plaza is close enough that the giant ocean dinosaur can just reach it and eat shit there.
• Why make a vicious creature? Why not a giant brontosaurus that can change colors? Their fucking raptor-pterodactyls weren't good enough?
• Dr. Wu (he was in the first movie) designs a giant creature with cuttlefish DNA, creatures known for their intelligence, and gives it the ability to hide from IR cameras. He then doesn't tell anyone that the IR cameras in the pen may not work.
  
• He also designs the I Rex with raptor DNA. That would have been handy to know. That would have prevented a situation like the one that got an entire team killed because of raptors.
• Speaking of Dr. Wu, what internal policies does the park have where the CEO of the park can't get information on his own dinosaur. I mean shit, Dr. Wu says "I can't divulge any information."

On a thematic level though, both this and Jurassic Park have the "Man Should Not Meddle" message going on (a trend in Hollywood films). The problem, however, is that the original Jurassic Park only conveys that message if you forget that Dennis fucked over the company due to greed. The lysine safety was defeated by plant life, which the herbivores ate which the carnivores ate, true. And while that was a legitimate flaws in the lysine plan, the escape of the T Rex is facilitated by Dennis shutting down the safety network. Thus, it's less "Man Should Not Meddle" and "Greed Fucks Shit Up". I bring this up, because in Jurassic World the safety features (as I already mentioned) completely fail to hold back the I Rex. The problem I have here is this:

This shit has happened 2 times already.

First in Jurassic Park and then in Jurassic Park II. The first movie has inadequate safety features (which all relied on electricity to function, instead of simply being things like 20 ft 10 ft thick concrete walls (which no creature could have jumped over or plowed through), the second movie has a T Rex adult and infant kill all the inhabitants of a boat. So Ingen has experience with this type of shit. Hell, in Jurassic World the security is even worse, because there were no electrified fences at all. It is mentioned that, should any creature wander near the "security gates" the implants in their bodies will transmit a shock to their system. When the I Rex claws out it's implant it simply walks past all the security systems. To me the lax security clashes with the characteristics of the new CEO of Jurassic World and Claire, who gave the impression of caring about security and the safety of the visitors (if at least for different reasons). Both of them, or even a rudimentary security screening, would have stopped the entire operation and said "Yeah, this security system fails if power goes out. Change it. This security system fails if the implant fails, change it. This security system puts visitors within reach of giant killer dinosaurs, change it. This security system allows free access to an animal enclosure, change it."

Seriously, come the fuck on. That entire park is asking for trouble.

So yeah, the entire park was designed to facilitate disasters like the one that happened (for a third time) at the park. We know, from Jurassic Park II and III, that the nearby militaries have responses to these situations. Why aren't they involved in this? Why not at the very least some military hardware on loan to the park, like attack helicopters or some nearby rescue boats or AA guns outside the pterodactyl pens? It just appears to me that the attitudes of the two people at the top, combined with the ability to spend huge amounts of money, are somehow not translating into adequate security features.

The movie would have been much better in my opinion if all those security measures were in place. Explosives in their necks, electrified security fences, etc. But, like in the first movie, Hoskin's desire for a situation that would allow his military pet project to be tested pushed him to contrive a situation where those safety nets were currently disabled. Then I could believe that the situation happens as a result. The infra-reds aren't function because Hoskins disabled them. The GPS isn't working because Hoskins disabled them, implanted explosives don't work because Hoskins took them down for a software patch (or some shit).

At the very least, then the situation goes from "This poorly designed park has some fatalities" to "Greed endangered people's lives". Because in a world where dinosaur rampages have happened twice (once in a major populated city), you can bet that Ingen would have so many oversight committees breathing down their neck that all corners would be wrapped in safety tape.
