Violence and frightening scenes
The film contains ongoing intense and frightening scenes with blood, injuries, jump scares, and death (mostly offscreen), most of which are inflicted by dinosaurs.
Some of the strongest scenes include:
- A large dinosaur eats a man’s arm, severing and eating it as he helplessly waits for it to kill him. It eats him, but this is barely seen as it happens in the background while blurred.
- One character is ripped in half by a dinosaur. His legs fall and are eaten by another dinosaur. He screams as he is eaten.
- The Indoraptor and the Mossasaurus’ appearances are very frightening and may scare some viewers.
Coarse language
The film involves the use of coarse language, with words like “b*tch,” “sh*t,” and other mild profanities.
