Sex & Nudity

  • A still image of a woman in a swimsuit is briefly seen multiple times on a computer screen. No nudity.
  • All dinosaurs are nude.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is eaten by the T-Rex onscreen while on the toilet. Not very graphic, slightly comedic.
  • A man is dragged inside a cage and killed by a raptor (offscreen). He screams in agony and we see his pained face.
  • A live bull is lowered into a raptor pen by a harness and viciously devoured by the creatures (offscreen). When the harness is pulled back out, some diluted blood is visible for a few seconds.
  • The bloody leg of a goat is seen after the animal is presumably eaten by a T-Rex.
  • A T-Rex knocks a man unconscious, and we see him with a bloody leg injury.(Flesh and Bone are seen)
  • A T-Rex dispatches a small dinosaur, and begins eating it. some flesh is shown dangling from its mouth.
  • A Velociraptor tackles a man and we see it biting his face briefly. We hear the man screaming in pain offscreen and it is implied he is killed brutally by it. Most of the event is covered by plant foliage. Intense.
  • A battle between velociraptors and a T-Rex ensues. The raptors bite it but the T-Rex proceeds to kill them both.

Profanity

  • At one point, someone called a triceratopses' poop 'shit'.
  • While being chased by a T. Rex, Ellie screams out the shit 3 times.
  • Infrequent Coarse Language. Milder swears words like "Hell", "Crap", "Bloody", "Damn" and "Ass". Medium swearing like "Son of a Bitch", "Goddamn" and "Shit".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A supporting character opens a bottle of alcohol and consumes it joyfully.
  • A man smokes constantly throughout the film. Other characters drink occasionally.
  • Alcohol is shown and occasionally consumed.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There is quite a jumpy bit when Ellie gets attacked by the velociraptors. It is only scary the first time you see it, as it is unexpected.
  • There are lot of suspenseful and intense sense with gore and some comic violence to make up for it.
  • The film's Oscar winning sound design is famously intense. A great deal of frightening dinosaur sounds (pounding footsteps, Raptor shrieks, Dilophosaurus' hissing, the T-Rex's iconic roar, etc), as well as environmental sound effects including thunder, rain, and destruction. John Williams' score can also get very ominous and scary at points, adding to the suspense.
  • The movie is some what horror adjacent.
  • The second half of the film is comparatively intense and contains several sequences in which many of the main characters are in danger - mainly from dinosaurs in the park.
  • A scene where the T-Rex escapes from the habitat includes one onscreen death and an unseen major leg injury. Children are in danger in the scene but come to no major harm.
  • A scene includes two children who are trapped in a kitchen with raptors hunting them.
  • People are killed by dinosaurs in very gruesome manners, very intense and somewhat disturbing.
