PG13 generally means the movie will make more money because parents will likely take their kids, whereas parents don’t usually take their kids to see an R rated movie. It’s a numbers game unfortunately.

Jurassic World Rebirth | Rotten Tomatoes
July 2, 2025 - Equal parts comforting and terrifying, returning to the beloved Jurassic World is a thrill, and while predictable, Rebirth jump-starts the franchise with a dino-mite time at the movies. Read Audience Reviews ... Connective tissue between CGI-heavy set-pieces is perfunctory at best... and usually reliable David Koepp’s script bogged down with flat humour, paper-thin characters and plot holes so vast a T-Rex could amble through them. ... It’s sloppy, sappy, frenetic, charmless, plotless, derivative and devoid of surprise and characters to give a damn about, but oh those dinosaurs!

Primitive War (2025) ⭐ 5.3 | Action, Horror, Sci-Fi
October 3, 2025 - I have minor gripes, like the movie feels about 25 minutes too long and takes a minute to get going, but I still had a great time with this. Strong performances from the "Vultures" and some legitimately great dino action (especially for an indie film with this budget) carry this one easily. Definitely recommend. ... The dinosaur action was amazing and obviously there's some parts that could look better but that's it if you're really nit picking.

r/Dinosaurs on Reddit: Opinions: Why do you want an R-rated Dinosaur movie?
October 3, 2025 -
In a lot of places online when talking about Jurassic Park or other dinosaur movies (especially the recently released (and honestly overhyped) Primitive War), I see a lot of posts wishing for more R-rated dinosaur projects…whether it’s imagining Jurassic Park more closer to its adult, R-rated roots, or just in general. And I’m curious about why?
R-rated (and beyond) dinosaur media does exist, and while some are really great (like the show Primal), majority of them tend to be low-budget schlocky affairs. For me personally, it seems that the R-rating is primarily used to justify either increased amounts of gore, or to allow the humans to use more foul language…but other than that it doesn’t seem to change much about the actual viewing experience. Movies like Jurassic Park, Peter Jackson’s King Kong, and even more kid-friendly options like Disney’s Dinosaur or The Land Before Time can feel scarier and way more intense than most R-rated stuff despite their lower age rating. Plus while there are lots of adult Dino fans, it would be argued that kids seems to be the much larger audience willing to see movies about dinosaurs…making it R-rated cuts off a good portion of your audience.
So question to you guys, more out of curiousity and research is why do you guys want to see an R-rated Dino movie?

I just wanna watch a dino movie at the cinema without any kids screaming around me. Also a higher rating may correlate with more folks getting eaten by dinosaurs on screen... and after all, is that not why we all enjoy these movies in the first place?

I want to see lots of graphic and completely gratuitous dinosaur sex.

The Five Worst Dinosaur Movies of All Time
November 16, 2013 - Second place is tied between Dinosaur Valley Girls and Dinosaur Island, and for good reason. They are basically the same movie. Both involve what are supposed to be heroic (but actually sleazy) men discovering lost lands where scantily clad cavewomen wrestle and try to outrun dinosaurs.

Carnosaur (1993) ⭐ 3.7 | Horror, Sci-Fi
May 21, 1993 - The dinosaurs are seldom convincing at all. They are portrayed using rubber puppets and even though they are shot at night, they do become revealing at times. Sometimes painfully revealing. I also felt that the amount of blood and gore used in this film was way overdone, but that is typical of films of this grade. And there is also one major plot problem in this movie.
