Finally saw this yesterday, or as I like to call it: Jurassic Mansion: Fallen Auction. My main purpose was to make any loose connection I could to the other films which while not mentioned, are not out of the continuity. Lockwood quotes Hammond from TLW "These creatures require our absence", also, the main bad guy does mention "Sorna" in his speech to Claire near the beginning, and while not specifically mentions, it seems Lockwoods sincere attempt to find refuge for the Dino''s seems to be Isla Sorna (though he just calls it a refugee island) He talks about no fences or barriers like Hammond did.
I still would like to know what happened however, as everyone seems to make it clear that Nublar is the only Island with living Dinosaurs, thus the seeming "need" to save them. Sorry I know its all fiction, and while the continuity is not nearly as egregious as some franchises like Transformers, I just don't want it to get there.
Also, at the end, I still take the same position about letting the Dino's loose that I don't think it would be as big a threat as they are making it. The greatest problem I might see would be from the multiplication of Compsognathus and Pterodactyls. Pretty much all the other species were single specimens that could not reproduce. Sure I know Wu and the other baddies have eggs and DNA to make more Dino's, but if in the next film, 3 years have past and its Dino-Apocalypse on Earth I'm out. The few dino's that got out, even the single T-Rex could easily be taken out by military force.
Let's also say, for the sake of argument a larger species like Triceratops had a breeding pair. The only thing I can compare them to on earth now might be Rhino's. Black Rhino's have been endangered for a while now, It's not like in 3 years there wold be hundreds of Triceratops roaming North America, let alone, the world. Also dont even get me started on how ridiculous the idea of a Blood Transfusion between T-Rex and a Velociraptor was, I think I made an audible sigh when that happened.
In the end, it was a serviceable sci-fi movie. With the emphasis on Fiction.
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
