Continuity mistake: In the court room during the opening, a monitor shows Malcolm raising his arms and pointing up with both fingers as he speaks. It then cuts to a view of him directly as he continues on the same sentence and suddenly his hands are on the desk. (00:08:35)

Continuity mistake: At the meeting, Benjamin Lockwood is approached by a woman from the side and he says "My bloody medicines." His right hand is forward, gripped around the staff of amber in the close up shot. When it cuts to another angle from the side, his arms are down at his side. (00:15:30)

Continuity mistake: In the bar, Owen has his hand on the table when Claire mentions about him thinking that he left. Camera changes and his hand is now up by his mouth. (00:17:30)

Continuity mistake: At the start of the bar scene, Claire is laughing hysterically and it shows a shot of Owen looking at her. In this shot his hand is around his beer bottle holding it at the base. When the shot cuts to a different angle showing her, his hand is just between the two bottles without holding one. (00:18:25)

Continuity mistake: When Iris is looking for Maisie in the fossil room, we see her in a reflection with her arms crossed. When the camera changes to Iris, her arms are by her side. (00:21:00)

Continuity mistake: Franklin plugs in a computer and then snaps his fingers pointing to the left and says "hand" for Claire. It cuts to a different angle as Claire starts to walk where he pointed and suddenly Franklin's arm is back down between shots. (00:29:45)

Continuity mistake: When Ken Wheatley is pointing his tranquilizer gun at Zia after he shot Owen, he puts the gun in his left hand and uses his right hand to wave his men down, but mid wave, the camera cuts to a different angle and he is waving with his left hand while holding the gun in his right hand.

Continuity mistake: When running from the volcano after escaping the Baryonyx, we see the group level with a group of trees. Camera changes to a front view and the trees have gone. (00:40:40)

Continuity mistake: When we first see the sphere the door is on the top. Camera changes and now the door is instantly on the side and the sphere is the right way up. This has nothing to do with the dinosaurs that are passing by knocking it. (00:41:20)

Continuity mistake: When Claire and Franklin are in the rolling sphere, the door closes and locks. In the next shot, it closes and locks again. (00:43:10)

Suggested correction: This is incorrect. It shows the door closing twice because it is showing both the third person (camera behind Owen) and the first person (Claire's POV) of the door closing. It was deliberately showing what was happening from different perspectives.

This correction is wrong because it doesn't show different perspectives (which films do at times). In the first shot, the door fully closes before Owen gets to the sphere and before he raises his arms. In the next shot, Owen raises his hands before the door closes and is touching the sphere right as the door closes.

Perhaps your version was out of sync when you watched it. It was definitely just two shots from different angles, if you're watching in UHD on a big enough screen you can even see the camera that catches Owen's reaction.

Continuity mistake: When the group is escaping from the volcano, the whole sequence when they are trying to reach the boat shows different times of the day. At one point they are standing on the rocks watching men loading the dinosaurs into the boat with the sun directly behind them and behind the volcano, then as they are running to get in the truck, the sun is right above them. Once aboard the boat the sun appears to be again behind the island and the volcano. (00:47:10)

Continuity mistake: On the beach after escaping the gyro-sphere, Claire's shirt keep changing position. Note the rip on the back. (00:47:30)

Continuity mistake: When Owen and Franklin are climbing in the truck, from the reverse angle Franklin is next to Owen, but from the front angle he's not. (00:51:00)

Plot hole: Being transported from the west of Costa Rica all the way to Northern California by ship would take about a week. Are we to assume that Owen, Claire and Franklin were staying put in the back of the truck the whole time undetected? They would have to eat and use the restroom, at least.

Suggested correction: Maybe they did have to sneak around but the director thought making us watch Owen sneaking away at night to take a whiz wasn't really important to the plot.

It was established in the plot's timeline that the ship travelled overnight. A ship like this travels at about 12 knots and would take for them about 9 days to complete that voyage.

Question: Would any company in their right mind build a theme park (or any business for that matter) on a private island with a volcano? I know populated areas like Hawaii just assume the risk, but wouldn't a company that has the money to purchase their own island do their due diligence and make sure they won't be prone to a major catastrophe like that?

Phaneron

Answer: As it was stated in the film, the volcano had been dormant for many many years. Presumably even since well before the events of the first Jurassic Park movie in the early 90's. It was only recently, between the events of this film and the prior Jurassic World that the volcano had its surprise re-awakening.

Quantom X

For sure, but dormant simply means that the volcano could one day erupt again, so wouldn't it be pretty foolish to gamble on building a multi-billion dollar theme park with the hope that the volcano will never again erupt?

Phaneron

One would think. But just look at our world's history. Like Pompeii, an entire civilization wiped out cause they lived at the base of a dormant volcano. And then even in more recent history. Mount Saint Helens, which I've actually been to and seen the exhibits and footage of it's destruction. Foolish, yeah. But that doesn't stop us from still doing it repeatedly.

Quantom X

I think it's been made pretty clear over the course of all the films that the people building these parks did not exactly think everything through properly. They took a gamble on the volcano, and they lost.

Answer: The volcano has nothing to do with reality. It is a plot device more than twenty years after the original movie. It is contrived for the purpose of telling a new story. Trying to give a logical or scientific explanation is pointless.
