Both movies are third installments in a trilogy, the first movie in the trilogy is generally beloved. The second movie had a more mixed reception and the third movie was a hit with audiences but not critics.
The movie starts off with two prehistoric animals fighting for food, ultimately one of the animals wins the fight by throwing the other off of a cliff.
Both movies try and show our main characters are good guys right off the bat by introducing them in a chase scene where they try to save a baby.
One of the other main characters is also introduced in a chase scene where they pursue a herbivorous creature through the snow. Ultimately the character loses the animal.
The main characters of the movie is two overprotective parents, trying to protect their daughter who was born in a strange way that connects her to the dinosaurs.
The movie beats you over the head with the theme of parenthood so much that one of the main dinosaurs of the movie is a parent.
The t.rex's introduction in the movie is as typical as it gets, it stomps out of a forest towards a crowd which runs and hide from it as it roars. You kind of feel bad for the t.rex in heinsight though since its in an enviorement its not comfortable in.
The plot of the movie really kicks off with a kidnapping causing the parents to go on a journey to save the kidnapped person.
To save the kidnapped person the main characters need to go to the lair of the main villian. A jungle for mesozoic animals to thrive in including: quetzalcoatlus, ankylosaurus, iguanodon, tyrannosaurus, triceratops, baryonyx and brachiosaurus.
Theirs a scene where two large sauropods bathe in a lake.
Several sequences in these movies are very simular: including a t.rex fighting with another animal over food,
A scene where a character hides from an agressive herbivore by submerging themselves in water.
A scene where a character is attacked by a quetzalcoatlus midair.
A scene where characters have to fend off attacking small theropods.
A scene where a coelurosaur falls off of a cliff.
The movie has two different plotlines that intersect in the end.
The t.rex has a rival in this movie that resembles a crocodillian, the theropod is aparently much bigger than the t.rex despite the fact this isn't true in real life.
The movie features a scene where a guy who has a lot of expeirence with dinosaurs injures the t.rex's rival by injuring its mouth.
The movie also features a sub-plot where a guy and a girl fall in love, and the guy learns he needs to put his passion aside in order to be with her.
A guy has a strong bond with the mother dinosaur. Despite the fact she is clearly dangerous and straight up attacks him at around the halfway point in the movie.
The film's climax ends with the t.rex saving the humans from the attacking crocodillian rival, by pushing it down. Defeating the beast. The t,rex and another animal then roar over the kill.
Theirs an emotional goodbye between the guy and the mother dinosaur
The family ultimately gets over their disagreements. They walk home together with new freindships made.
In the movies final scene we see mammals and dinosaurs living in relative peace
