** The entire "astronauts and astronomers" speech Grant has about people, and that the sad truth about paleontology is that it only allows scientists to study dinosaurs from a distance, but to never actually see one (making them astronomers). He laments that Billy wasn't wrong for being an astronaut at heart, and that this dream of seeing a dinosaur is what inspires paleontology in the first place. It's a complete 180 from the ScienceIsBad aesop of the first two films.

** When Alan makes his "Raptor" noises at them, the other Raptors think he's just insulted them and intend to attack the human, but the Big Female stops them. [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure In mere seconds, she worked out that the odd human was trying to speak with them peacefully, garbled as he was trying it]]. Really goes to show that Raptors were smart as he described it.

** Let this sink in: After the garbled phone call got cut out, Ellie is unclear what just happened, but little Charlie imitates an aggressive dinosaur with roars and all, and Ellie worked it out immediately. Charlie saved Alan's life, even though he didn't know. Young man's earned his ice-cream.

** When the first pteranodon grabs Billy, Alan comes splashing over to try and help him. Mr Kirkby, not even hesitating, comes to help too and then grabs Grant's arm to stop him when he sees that there's nothing they can do without being killed themselves.

* Despite having just met him, and the man having [[Jerkass knocked him unconscious without much need to]] a few moments ago, Alan shows concern, as does Billy, for Cooper when they try to leave him behind on the island. Considering his fellow teammates [[WithFriendsLikeThese barely acknowledge it]], it's nice to see that they show concern, [[EatenAlive considering what happens]] [[AlasPoorVillain to the poor guy]]...

A happy neutral ending for everyone with both families being reunited.

* Grant's PartingWordsRegret concerning [[spoiler: Billy]] leads into a heartfelt and memorable conversation with Eric, about the desire to see the things we devote our lives to studying, for real and up close. It really conveys how, for all the insanity Grant's been through in both this movie and the original, in his heart, he feels it's all been worth it. Cue the boat passing by a herd of Brachiosaurus, as John Williams's stirring theme plays. Just ''try'' watching that scene without your eyes moistening a little.

** A Missed moment is the minor tweak to Grant's chracter in the original that changed his platonic relationship with Ellie as a student into an actual relationship which is implied to have ended some time ago in this movie. Grant is introduced talking with Ellie's kid and is introduced to her husband, their is no bad blood between them and they have a nice quick chat before the scene changes and they say their goodbyes after a nostalgic geek out with Ellie over his recent work on Dinosaur research. Typically in disaster movies involving exes and the new guy this kind of scenario isn't so peaceful.

Then Amanda says that the reason she's crying isn't that Ben is dead; it's that it means Eric is completely on his own in the savage world of Isla Sorna.

He and Amanda were happy with each other and he was nice enough to not only invite Eric along with them on the vacation to Costa Rica, but also went through with the parasailing specifically on the chance to allow Eric to see some dinosaurs.

* Grant's scene with Billy at the end of the film. Earlier, Grant had chewed his assistant out severely after his curiosity provoked him to take a few raptor eggs. Afterwards, it looked like Billy had [[HeroicSacrifice died saving Eric from the]] ''[[HeroicSacrifice Pteranodons]]'', and Grant couldn't help remembering the [[PartingWordsRegret harsh last words]] he said to him. Against expectations, he gets a chance to make up.
