When you take even a passing look at the script from Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly, it features just as many shockingly bad, unexplained or implausible choices as its predecessor -- except that director J.A. Bayona's considerable style turns this fifth installment in the storied franchise into something just scary enough to ignore them, at least while they're unfolding.

Nevertheless, we decided to go through the movie with a fine-toothed comb -- or to be more accurate, just thought about it for five more minutes -- and put together a list of some, and probably not all, of the many things that "Fallen Kingdom" thinks that it gets away with, but absolutely does not.

2. Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), a guy with limitless wealth -- whose name we've never heard before -- hires former Jurassic World employee-turned-animal rights activist Claire Dearing to go back to the park to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from being destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Was there not one other surviving employee at her pay grade, much less one who might be less scrupulous than her -- given the events that subsequently unfold -- who could plunk down their handprint and grant Lockwood's team access to the island's tracking system?

3. Also, Franklin -- Clarie's de facto computer nerd employee -- basically works as an IT guy for the Dinosaur Protection Group. What remotely qualifies him to go to an exploding island to hack into a computer system that Lockwood needs Claire's handprint to get access to?

6. Speaking of Wu and the survivors of the park, how many are there? Is he the only person in the world with the scientific knowledge to clone dinosaurs?

7. Was the plan always to kill Owen, Claire, and the rest of the rescuers after they helped acquire Blue? Or did they make that decision on the fly? And if it wasn't, what was the plan? How does the tranquilizer that Owen gets shot with work less well on humans than it does on dinosaurs?

8. How exactly would one capture a T. Rex while it is still awake, as the mercenaries seem to do when they fly it off the island?

11. Although Spall's character, Eli Mills, intends to sell the dinosaurs to the highest bidder, Lockwood was apparently sincere about his desire to protect them. What was Mills' plan to deceive his employer -- hope that Lockwood just died before finding out? Because his seemingly improvised solution when Lockwood's "granddaughter" finds out what's going on is to murder his employer.

12. Then again, how long could Mills be developing this plan to sell and exploit dinosaurs in Lockwood's own house -- where he lives basically as a shut-in -- without being found out? Was Lockwood aware of the super-secret basement lab? Or the "Blade II," Blood Pack-looking security team of mercenaries carrying assault rifles outside his home?

13. Speaking of the "granddaughter," what is the presumption we are to make about her with regard to Mills after Lockwood's death? He views her as property? Mills fires Lockwood's assistant, who leaves without a fight -- despite having loved and raised this child -- and then announces that he will be her guardian.

14. It's unclear how much an individual dinosaur costs to "raise" -- starting with the price of the technology and manpower to clone, feed, and train them, not to mention the massive undertaking of hiring a team of mercenaries to go in and bring them back to the mainland. In three years, The Masrani Corporation already paid $800 million in settlements to victims of the park. Dinosaurs sell for $10-20 million apiece, and the entire auction in the film earns $125 million. What is Mills' business plan?

15. Basically, why would Mills sell dinosaurs for millions when they likely cost billions to clone?

18. There is no indication whatsoever to the evil consortium of black-clad animal traders that dinosaurs can be trained or controlled, minus Owen's work with Blue. Why would they think it's a good idea to drop a Velociraptor (much less the Indoraptor) into combat situations -- or at least good enough to pay tens of millions of dollars to try it out? And it's JUST one dinosaur - how would that be cost effective to any military?

19. And who do they plan to find to train these dinos? Outside of Owen, are dino-combat trainers a thing?

22. Early in the film, Claire says that a Velociraptor can track its prey from more than a mile away. Why can't the Indoraptor make a snack of Claire, Owen, and Maisie in about five seconds -- in a room where the creature is on one side of the only obstacle in the room -- and the humans on the other?

23. Also, how is it impervious to tranquilizer darts?

24. If a Velociraptor can smash through metal and glass without any trouble at all, why wouldn't it be able to easily break through the wooden door of a dumbwaiter?

25. Why does Owen risk his life to save the little girl from a raptor brawl raging in her bedroom, only to curl up in bed with her to watch in awe as the dinos go at it?
