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.

Primitive War (2025) ⭐ 5.3 | Action, Horror, Sci-Fi
October 3, 2025 - Carnage. What more do you want? Is this an Oscar contender? Maybe not. Is it a refreshing dinosaur & popcorn flick? Absolutely. I'll admit, I tempered my expectations and halfway expected some extra campy SyFy movie, but ended up pleasantly surprised. The script is absurd, the characters are underdeveloped - and there's more implausibility to go around than dry turkey on Thanksgiving, but I don't care.

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.

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.

r/JurassicPark on Reddit: Jurassic World: Rebirth rated R?
October 26, 2024 -
Hello! I’m not an avid Jurassic-franchise fan and I’m French which doesn’t help for the attachment I gave–but I saw online that Jurassic World: Rebirth is going to be rated R. So I looked it up online because I didn’t know what that meant, and it seems a little odd to me that they rate a Jurassic movie as an R movie…
Genuine question of course!! But I would like to know if this is a temporary rating, or if it’s going to be the actual rating of the movie. And (if you want) your thoughts on the rating. Thanks in advance.
