|An escape from reality? Like every other science fiction

|u/volcanologistirl - 1 hour
|
|I think holding up JW next to The Terminator, Star Wars, and
|Star Trek is an interesting choice. I’d probably compare it
|more to a made-for-TV disaster flick trying to cash in on
|the late 90s craze, but with a bigger budget and worse
|writing. If the cinema equivalent of getting violently
|concussed by a marketing department is your escape from

|Seriously, movies are escapes. I don't expect you to
|enjoy every one of them equally, but you can't expect them
|to match scientific reality. Dante's Peak, the Volcano,
|Pompeii, and Joe Vs the Volcano are not accurate
|depictions of volcanoes. If you expect them to be, then
|you're going to be disappointed. If you're willing to
|suspend disbelief for a couple of hours or so, you can be
|entertained and go home laughing at inaccuracies. Be
|childlike for an evening. Have some fun. You'll be
|happier in the end.
|u/volcanologistirl - 24 minutes
|
|Read my comments, it has nothing to do with the
|suspension of disbelief and everything to do with JW
|being irredeemable slop. Plenty of scientifically
|inaccurate disaster movies are an absolute scream, JW
|was aiming for the lowest common denominator to try to
|MCU the JP franchise, rather than setting out to tell a
|specific and interesting story. If other people enjoy it
|as a popcorn flick, more power to them, but I’m not
|going to pretend it’s not a terrible movie in
|r/shittymoviedetails of all places.

|If you're really into something it can hard to suspend

|u/volcanologistirl - 1 hour
|
|I can suspend disbelief infinitely if the underlying movie
|is fun. See: The Core. JW was just an unbelievably
|terrible film. The critique is more from the cinephile
|side than the dino side.

|Completely agree and I agree with your example. Most

|The petty thing I actually struggle with is the sheer

|maddening. Looking at you, Peter Jackson.
|u/Zerodyne_Sin - 1 hour
|
|Animators/VFX/etc will forget they're watching a movie if
|it's any good and just enjoy ourselves. Generally go
|through the cool shots after the fact to figure out how
|something was done. Some effects are so well done and
|mind blowing that it makes it even more impressive because
|you know how hard it is to pull off. All in all, a
|shitty movie is what makes it hard to watch movies, not
|the fact that you know how it's made.

|Jurassic Park or Jurassic World? Jurassic Park - 100%

|
|It's just a mindless movie with dinosaurs, enjoy your bleach.
|u/volcanologistirl - 1 hour
|
|The problem is that “mindless” extended to the entire
|filmmaking process. Jurassic Park was a cinematic
|masterpiece of the disaster film genre and Jurassic World
|was “What if we MCU’d that franchise and milked it dry?”
|u/orru - 1 hour

|Jurassic World was fun as hell to watch. Zero depth but that's

|u/Real-Mouse-554 - 1 hour
|
|Paleo background is the answer. Whenever a movie is made by
|something you know a lot about, it will usually suck for you.
|Movies take so many liberties with reality for entertainment,
|that it’s usually better not to be aware of them.
|u/volcanologistirl - 1 hour
|
|Nope, The Core absolutely slaps and that’s far more my
|specialization than any dino stuff. It’s not the paleo
|background that’s an issue (and most paleo folks I know
|actively like the liberties taken by the Jurassic Park
|series for Reasons™️). I think it’s bad storytelling, bad
|direction, an abuse of their VFX house, and a blatant cash
|grab that was afraid to be its own thing apart from the
|potential franchise money that they sought by casting as
|wide a net as possible.

|I don't think this movie gets nearly enough credit for being a meta
|commentary on itself and commercialism. They're bringing back an old

|But they play it so straight in a rather light-hearted summer

|I made a mistake and watched the movie with my cousin, who
|knows a lot about guns and he got pissed at all the scenes
|the guns are just *nerfed* because if guns worked like
|actual guns then the dinosaurs would be dead and it would be
|obvious how incredibly stupid it is to think you're going to
|make a fortune selling these expensive, hard to care for,
|will ditch you at the drop of a hat despite imprinting,
|animals that will make about two seconds before they get
|turned into prehistoric swiss cheese by cheap and reliable
|bullets.
|u/Theslamstar - 1 hour

|Your cousin is wrong for this reason alone. The gene

|I mean that’s not done in real life because we don’t have a

|Because a weapon that’s good for killing people and a weapon

|u/Homem_da_Carrinha - 30 minutes
|
|Here's a thought, though: a weapon that's good for killing
|people will probably scare the hell out of people, because
|people in general are afraid of weapons that are good at
|killing people.

|I will defend Jurassic World both as a turn-your-brain-off action

|I'd say it's better than that to be fair; I don't think it'd a

|
|Funny because in the book it was the complete opposite. The
|scientists proposed changing the genome to make them more appealing
|to visitors but Hammond insisted on keeping them as unaltered as
|possible.
|u/JManKit - 2 hours
|
|The book is such a different experience. Dr. Wu had a much bigger
|role and was less likeable bc of the careless way he had
|approached the re-creation of extinct creatures. At one point,
|Malcolm takes him to task for forgetting the names of some of the
|dinosaurs they've created and Wu's defence is 'There are so many
|of them and I have more important things to do.' But Hammond's
|change was the most drastic as he was a real piece of shit who
|eventually got eaten by a bunch of compies near the end. Probably
|for the best that they made him a nice, albeit kind of naive,
|grandpa character for the movie Edit: also, the realization that
|the dinos are breeding is such a cool moment in the book but is
|barely anything in the movie
|u/BawdyBadger - 2 hours
|
|I think as well, Henry Wu was a failed research scientist.
|That's why Hammond got him so cheap. He's talented, but he's
|nowhere near the best. Hammond cheaped out on all his staff,
|except Muldoon strangely. Edit: Sorry, that was Howard King in
|The Lost World. Wu was a graduate student who took over from his
|professor who died.
|u/midnight_riddle - 1 hour
|
|It cannot be understated how STUPID it was for Dr. Wu to
|choose to use male zygotes and alter them so the dinosaurs
|would develop a female phenotype. Picture this: You got
|tasked with making spaghetti for dinner when company is coming
|over. So you concoct this elaborate setup to straighten out
|ramen noodles and alter their texture and flavor so they will
|taste more like spaghetti noodles. You go through packet after
|packet of ramen noodles experimenting with how to turn them
|into spaghetti noodles. Someone finally asks what the hell are
|you doing and why don't you *just use cook with spaghetti
|noodles from the start* and you reply, "Because I'm Dr. Henry
|Wu." Just use female zygotes from the start.
|u/Theslamstar - 1 hour
|
|Girls are gay
|u/JManKit - 1 hour
|
|Was he? I thought it was that Hammond got to Wu early in his
|career, before he'd really gotten his feet set, and then
|offered him control over a huge project that someone his age
|would have needed to wait years to get to head up
|u/BawdyBadger - 1 hour
|
|I haven't read the book in a few years. I got him mixed up
|with Howard King from Lost World. He's a graduate student
|who takes over after his menor dies. Howard King was the
|failed researcher.
|u/JManKit - 1 hour
|
|An interesting part of JP is when Wu realizes that the
|dino making process that he created was now so streamlined
|and smooth, that he was essentially not needed anymore.
|They could do it without him entirely which is why Hammond
|doesn't care to listen to his ideas about putting in the
|new versions of the dinos to make them match visitor
|expectations and be more manageable
|u/MegaGrimer - 2 hours
|
|And it would be rated R if kept true to the book. Could you

|dino at the beginning?
|u/JManKit - 1 hour
|
|Woof, I always forget about that scene. The eating of the face
|and the tearing little strips of flesh off would have set the
|tone of the movie as much more of a horror film than an
|adventure/thriller.
|u/lambofgun - 1 hour
|
|if i remember correctly he has to listen to his grandkids play

|u/JManKit - 1 hour
|
|Yeah, they found the PA system for the island and played the
|T-Rex roar over it to scare everyone. That caused him to slip
|and twist his ankle when he tried to run away. He even tries
|to lay the blame for the island's failure on them bc he's so
|pissed at that moment. Then gets got by the compys and good

|I agree, the book is next level, I always felt Spielberg's

|u/JManKit - 2 hours
|
|I personally wouldn't say that one is better than the other.
|The movie came in at 127 minutes which was pretty dang long
|for the time so I can see why they simplified some of the
|parts. Like I liked the changes they made to Malcolm bc in the
|book, he's more on the annoying side. I do think that the
|realization of the flaws in the counting program would have
|made for a good movie scene but maybe they didn't feel like
|that was too exciting

|u/5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi - 2 hours
|
|Yeah, but they figure it out after finding too many dinosaurs
|because of the reveal that JP's Dino counting system was only
|ever programmed to count up to the *amount they made* and no
|one had ever conducted an in-person survey. When 20 Gallimimus
|are in the paddock it counts 20, even if there's actually 40
|in the paddock and 15 are loose in the park. As opposed to
|the movie where they just stumbled across a wild nest with
|eggs in it.
|u/Silly_Manner_3449 - 1 hour
|
|>Dino counting system was only ever programmed to count up
|to the amount they made and no one had ever conducted an in-
|person survey This is my favourite scene in the entire
|book. The buildup to it is great, and then when it's finally
|revealed... I mean you kind of know it's about to happen,
|but that's what makes a book great. When things are
|forshadowed in a way that you know it's going to happen and
|you just sit there, turning pages, waiting for the payoff.
|u/JManKit - 2 hours
|
|Oh I know what I meant was the way they got confirmation in
|the book was cool. In the book, they talk about how the island
|has a camera system that has near round the clock eyes on the
|dinos and a computer program uses that data to count the
|number of animals every few minutes to ensure that none of
|them could ever escape. Then they realize that the program
|stops counting once the expected number of dinos is reached,
|meaning there could be more dinos but they never get counted.
|They were so worried about losing dinos that they completely
|disregarded the possibility of more dinos than they released,
|partly bc they trusted their sterilization process and partly
|bc they didn't realize some of the genes they spliced in were
|from creatures that could change gender

|That was one of the biggest points in the original book. Dr. Wu
|literally tells Hammond that since the have mastered the art of gene

|could have a dinosaur petting zoo, complete with triceratops rides."
|John Hammond didn't want that, either. He wanted them to be scary.

|T-Rex most probably didn't have feathers. We have some skin

|T-Rex and Tarbosaurus, big predators in warm climates have no
|feathers (T-Rex has some on top of his head and backs but not
|much), while smaller qianzhosaur and polar nanuqsaur have a lot
|of them. After discovery of Microraptor it was speculated that
|theropods closely related to birds (T-Rex included but more
|likely Trodon, Ornitomimus, Velociraptor) had feathers. However,
|they found simmilar skin covering on dinosaurus on completly

|I was so excited for this movie but it literally can't watch it
|without shit talking every scene. For instance the flying dinosaur
|that attacked her had a beak likely adapted for scooping fish would
|likely have no reason to attack her because she was almost the same
|size as her. literally wouldn't be able to fly with her and why the
|fuck did it try to dunk her like a fucking donut. As the flying
|dinosaur is probably flying for freedom after escaping that way
|overcrowded enclosure. And I know they were going for the SeaWorld
|but there is not nearly enough space to prevent that big swimming

|> the flying dinosaur that attacked her had a beak likely adapted

|they famously were not dinosaurs. It shows right off the bat that
|you don't know what you are talking about. For the record,
|Quetzalcoatlus was **the size of a giraffe**, was fully capable
|flight, and was a predator that probably stalked and ate terrestrial
|animals. It was large enough that it's plausible it could still fly

|Again, they were **not dinosaurs**. Flying animals tend to be

|For real though, even with me suspending belief, the frickin SIZE they
|made the Mosasaur just sucked; it’s not only WAY too big for that
|amphitheater, and that tank, but feeding it would be virtually
|impossible. And it clearly could get out and kill everyone there if it
|wanted too. And then in a sequel I think we see it under water and
|then escape into the ocean; that thing would fuck up the food chain so
|bad, it’s diet for that size of a carnivore in the ocean would just be
|absurd. I don’t know, I understand they are not going for realism,
|but to have something so absurdly overpowered and oversized, and they
|don’t even address it or treat it as dangerous, it just made much of the
|movie a total joke. Like yes I get it they were trying to beat us over
|the head that the humans were irresponsible and incompetent, but they
|did it in a way that not only seemed unbelievable (it’s more like how
|did these people even tie their shoes and get to work without dying?),
|BUT it also lowers the fear and stakes for the whole film. In the
|original films, you really didn’t know who all was going to make it, and
|everyone was amazed and scared of nearly all the dinosaurs. UGH so
|much of JW pisses me off. Like JP3 gave us this awesome preview of a

|Kind of wrong. Rewatch the first Jurassic Park movie. The mosquito bit a
|random dinosaur. Then, like with the Human Genome Project. The
|geneticists at Injen were able to make a Genome for all dinosaurs. Using
|various reptile and amphibian DNA to fill in the gaps. By doing specific
|gene splicing and selection, they can potentially clone any known
|Dinosaur species. Of course, this has many failures in the process.
|Which we can see when in Jurassic Park 3, the Kirbys come across all
|those failed dinosaur clones in the abandoned lab in the large vats. Of
|course this also led the scientists in the new park in Jurassic
|World(Movie 4) to play god and create the Indominous Rex. A dinosaur
|that never existed and was created solely with genetic science. Which
|exactly what Jeff Goldblum's character in the first movie warned the
|original Park would eventually happen. "Well, your scientists were too

|The Mosasaur was a reptile, right? They didn’t breathe underwater. At
|some point it had to come to the surface, thus enabling a passing
|mosquito to draw its blood.

|To be fair, mosasaurus were generally in open waters where mosquitoes
|were basically nonexistent. Even if there was a mosquito there, it
|would only have a split second to pierce its scaly skin and blubbler,
|but the mosasaur would've dived down.

|It's likely there was no DNA from the mesozoic because you now it can't
|survive that long anyway, they made up that story to connect their
|assets with the real things, they simply used modern animals and forced
|them to become these monstrosities as attractions suffering like certain
|dog breeds.

|Without the mosasaur we wouldn't have gotten the best scene in the best

|To be fair, there are a couple of points. 1. The mosasaur could have
|died and immediately been hit by a mosquito. Unlikely, though. 2.
|Genetic modification means that you don't need to have a sample of every

|Mosasaurs were not "an underwater dinosaur" they were an entirely
|different kingdom with lots of species that existed at the same time as
|dinosaurs but we're not dinosaurs at all. Other creatures that are
|often lumped in with dinosaurs but we're not: ichthyosaurs - another
|ancient aquatic group that were dinosaur contemporaries: they included
|the ancestors to modern day turtles Pterosaurs: most famously
|pterodactyl (who wasn't even the biggest known species). Not dinosaurs.
|Don't have surviving descendants.

|You know that scientifically this was all bullshit. As admitted by the
|movie itself. However, if you really want to cling to in-verse logic,
|then we can safely assume they used the DNA of mosquitos which stung
|Mosasaurs and ho beached like modern day whales and died there

|Lore-accurate answer: they also use fossils, just not as often. It’s
|mentioned in the first novel that they don’t yield as much DNA as the
|mosquitos. But they can get some from them by grinding them up. The
|websites have mentioned the mososaurus fossils being acquired in their
|timeline of events.

|In the build up to the movie I read a magazine with a feature on it and
