Creating a theme park filled with deadly genetically modified creatures isn’t the only mistake made in ‘Jurassic World.’
There are also many continuity ones.

MovieMistakes.com has named the billion-dollar blockbuster the most misguided film of 2015.
He claims the film, directed by Colin Trevorrow and starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt, features 18 errors over its two-hour running time.
For example, during the scene where park boss Claire Dearing (Howard) finds her nephew Zach’s phone, the screen is cracked, but miraculously fixes itself moments later.
Then there’s the moment when ranger Owen, played by Chris Pratt, manages to talk without moving his mouth at the waterfall.
There are also rangers who somehow change weapons, crew members seen in reflections, and wet hairstyles that change aimlessly.
Some of the questions, while arguably valid, are a bit more vague.
The “physical impossibility” of Claire being able to run through the jungle terrain for much of the film in four-inch heels, which she is still wearing at the end, is noted, which is actually probably fair enough.
Another suggestion is 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 more complicated than simply changing the battery.
Again, probably fair enough.
But still, ‘Jurassic World’ is miles ahead of the other big mistake-makers.
‘Termintor Genisys’ comes in at number two with nine errors (including a Prius visible in a scene that’s supposedly from 1997 and hair that randomly moves between loose and in a 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).
However, Trevorrow can take solace in the fact that the film worked fairly well, despite some continuity and shoehorning issues.
It has so far grossed $1.65 billion (just over £1 billion) worldwide and likely helped land him the directing role on Star Wars IX, due for release in 2019.
