Jurassic Park Series

[First Blood]

So who else wants to go kayaking with Stegosauruses.

[Immortan Jonesy]

Yeah...trained Raptors? Really? Everyone's just cool with that?

They could've genetically altered the raptors with perhaps Dog DNA to give them some obedience, or perhaps his character just has been with them since they hatched and rather then listen to him like a dog they kind of have a mutual agreement or respect for one another. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they turn on him.

It's not credibility that's the problem. You can train any remotely intelligent animal to treat a human as part of the family if you hand-raise them from birth.
As far as I'm concerned, the problem is how it's going to come across. Just as they don't want to show real coelurosaurs because they're not what the unwashed masses are expecting to see, we've been conditioned to see the raptors as insatiable killing machines - it may not sit well to see them having strokies and chud-chuds, and obeying commands to get treaties.

Anyway. The Apatosaurus and Stegosaurus look great. Not sure what's going on with that mosasaur, it looks bigger than Liam Neeson's cock.
Film itself looks about what I was expecting; not Crichton-tier but could be good fun.

lol yeah, that Mosasaurus looks bigger than a Megalodon. It seems comparable to Liopleurodon from Walking With Dinosaur (although there was also an exaggeration in this documentary).

With respect to the trailer, it´s okay. But I like to see a balance between practical effects and CGI

[Taxemic]

Hope we get a Dilophosaurus.

[First Blood]

Hope we get a Dilophosaurus.

*bangs window*

Daaaamn.

[Master]

It's very cool nonetheless,  still I don't buy trained raptors.

[MudButt]

Yeah, the trailer didn't have the scene of Pratt calming the raptors down, the chaingun shooting at something, and that shot of the D-Rex (I think?) smacking someone to the side.

Giant mosasaurs grew up to 60 feet long, plus the camera angle might also be part of the reason it looks so enormous.

Well, that explains everything. TY

Also, frog DNA.

This looks both spectacular and amazingly cliched and cheezy.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Watched the trailer again. It worked better for me the second time. Looking forward to this.

[MudButt]

I've been watching it all day to be honest.

[Vertigo]

Just for reference:

Mosasaur screencap

[close]

How long would you say those jaws look? I'd say just over 5 metres (~17 feet), using the handler on the platform (who may be slightly further away) for scale.

The biggest known mosasaur skulls had jaw lengths of 1.5 metres, making this chappy on a whole other level of magnitude.

Most of the ideas presented in the new film are from Crichton himself.

[MudButt]

Love how Pratt is in a serious role here, not the comic relief or goof he's known for. He looks like he could pull it off.
