As unsafe as standing right next to its feet?
Well, that was their own decision.

Remember that part in JP where they just got out of their jeeps and walked over to a triceratops?
I'm really hyped for this sequence.

Ok. Having got past my knee-jerk reaction, "raptor whisperer" is plausible and acceptable. I get it, we train bears and big cats, we domesticated wolves and Orcas are more likely to perform tricks for fish and a ball than rip us in two.
BUT, that last scene still just looked incredibly contrived and silly.

The thing is, they're obviously going for the topical GMO-esque theme. We need that bigger, riper, plumper, longer lasting tomato even though we really don't need to but hey, business. If it works in real life, why not in a fictional world where the creation of dinos wasn't already frowned upon by the majority of the general public?
And it was stupid there as well.

And yet, the scenes were still effective.
The kids weren't slaloming between the apatosaur's legs or anything.
Animals are often very mindful of where they walk and have a good instinct for it, much moreso than people. Wild animals are still wild animals, but I assume the park did its homework and doesn't place aggressive species in that pen.
Could possibly work the other way around; the ball would allow humans to get close to docile dinosaurs and the fact that they are in a bubble means they can't mess with the dinosaurs and provoke them.
It's still an idea that sounds really irresponsible on paper, and I wouldn't want a seemingly thin sphere of glass between me and something that could squish me or be in rare situation where a pissed dinosaur was just having a bad day.
Some brighter versions of the raptors:
They're really sticking to the original JP design, though it looks like the one in the foreground has a long stripe.
I think these shots point out how rough some of the compositing is. Pratt feels out of place in the environment/around the raptors. Easily something they CAN improve before release, so hopefully they will.
What bugs me about this snippet of a scene isn't that he's riding with raptors, it's the fact that the bike he's riding looks like it's running on a flat surface which they've just CG'd jungle grass onto. If there really was that heavy vegetation there then the bike ride would be way more bumpy.

Agreed. That shot needs a lot of work, but I like it, overall.

Why's that? The aggressiveness of any of these species is all just conjecture. I don't think one species being a docile herbivore is particularly world breaking. Some are, some would rather gore you than look at you.
I like the scene because we get to see Velociraptors actually have a directly comparable sense of speed by having a motorcycle next to it. They've been described as having Cheetah speed in JP1 (capping at 70 mph), and we can finally see a shot that displays it in the clearest way.
That and it's a badass shot of course.

nah, fighting raptors is badass (like Muldoon in JP1) even if he didn't stand a chance... but riding with raptors? I don't know...looks like a parody imo.

To be technical, there was no fight whatsoever
Yeah, lol. At least he tried ^^
Talking about JP1 reminded me of a scene that always bugged me but never got clarification on.
At the end where Grant & friends get power and control to the parks again and the raptors jump through the glass now that the doors are locked, Grant fires a gun off-camera a few times and it cuts to this shot:
followed by this shot of the gun Grant shot:
I have no idea about guns, but isn't that a shotgun? And wouldn't it have created giant holes in the glass, if not blown the entire window apart?
I believe that was the same weapon Muldoon had when he was "Raptor hunting". If it is a shotgun, I wonder if it's really a smart weapon to use :U
When I was a kid I was assuming he was using a quiet tranquilizer dart gun like the ones used in The Lost World. Would make more sense when you know there's more than one Raptor out there. Why let loose a huge shot noise that's sure to make every dinosaur scatter further away from you and know where you are?

He was probably using slugs, not buckshot.

Hmm I always thought it was safety glass. He fires one shot (shotgun), right? So three holes could be possible.

Didn't Muldoon use rocket launchers in the book?
Anton Sugar

Yeah, he uses a LAW. Which doesn't seem like the best way to deal with fast-moving targets, but ok.
Nah, he fires three. You can hear it.

Pretty sure that was reinforced glass. In any case, there's more than one type of shot from a shotgun. You can have buckshots (big spread) or slugs (single shot). He likely was shooting slugs.Talking about JP1 reminded me of a scene that always bugged me but never got clarification on.

Oops, I've watched this movie 20 times lol...I think it's time to watch it again.
BTW: Jurassic Park has hundreds of mistakes/errors. It's actually very entertaining to watch/read them on youtube or moviemistakes.com.
That makes sense. I remember hearing that shotguns could shoot slugs before but most movies and video games have quickly conditioned me to expect a huge buckshot spread of damage whenever a shotgun is used.
Ripley's gonna wreak havoc ass upon the dinos.
True 3D or converted 3D?

"Our pods are designed to withstand the force of a dino foot"
Problem solved
Then you can have one of them get crushed anyway when things go south. It fits with the "humans playing god" theme
Either way I'm probably seeing this in IMAX 3D :U
I really like this shot:
On another note, not sure how I feel about the wardrobe of either of the characters. It's like they're coming from two different eras, esp when directly clashing with the ultra high tech broken hamster wheel.
Yeah, I always chalked it up to really really bad writing. I think one can infer that the T-Rex broke out of its restraints and somehow the events on the boat led to opening the top hatch, letting the dinosaur free to wreak havoc. THEN, they somehow trapped the T-Rex back into the holding area and closed the automated doors on it before dying. Or something. That's all my mind could do to have it make any sense at all.
edit: from The Lost World's IMDB page:
What a fuck up lol
yeah, raptors got on board the ship. i think the scenes were filmed, but didn't make it into the final movie. made for a plothole big enough for a T Rex... unlike the ship's cabin. =P

There's a missing scene. They cut it out (I don't know why).
The crew wasn't killed by the Rex, they were killed by
Raptors

Eh I don't care for Pratt's reaction there.

I swear Pratts downfall is going to be that people will always see him as "that silly guy from Parks and Recs".
That being said, him trying to act serious is extremely jarring and borderline uh awkward? He will need a big SHIIIIIT THAT WAS INTENSE role for the audience to stop seeing him as Andy.
He was a solid Starlord because Starlord is a goof that gets stuff done, but at the end of the day he's still just a goof.

Why would you photoshop that face on him when it's already from da movie
I doubt his character is going to be a serious grump the entire time.

I think it'll be different when you get to see 2 hours of him on screen rather than some tiny snippets. Gives everyone time to get accustomed to his character

So do I, but let's not forget he also worked on TLW and JP3. Just because he was involved didn't mean the movie was magic or good.
I think the transitions between CG and animatronics in TLW and JP3 are markedly worse than JP, despite the quality of the models. The director has to know what he's doing AND/OR care about what he's doing.
BattleMonkey

Even if he was using slugs, the holes wouldn't look like that. It's just a movie mistake which is common with firearms and how they are portrayed. Also real dumb to be using slugs with a SPAS-12, high powered rifles would be far more useful than slug rounds especially against a powerful animal like a dino. If they are gonna use shotguns like that, they would be using buckshot especially as it's a semi auto shotty.
The animatronic Spino in JP3 looked so bad. So stiff.
Anton Sugar
Member
True, but if Muldoon was hunting raptors in the jungle with buckshot, he deserved to die.

They didn't try to hide that it was an animatronic, imo. JP1 looks great because they were meticulous about showcasing the dinos in the best conditions

The thing I hated about that scene is when Grant and Sattler are holding off the raptor and they're reaching for the gun... then the kid there is doing nothing the entire time. WHY DIDN'T HE GO OVER AND GET THE GUN?!

That's true. I love the animatronics in TLW though. JP3 was a colossal ...well..no, JP 3 doesn't exist.

You keep poking in with your trolls hoping for laughs or reactions. Unfortunately I took the bait but yeesh, man. That desperate?
Can't wait for the real trailer. The one with Wu and the new head guy and better dialogue.
I'm aware what they are probably going for and I said, it is too farfetched for me. We live indeed in a world were is a huge fight/discussion over gmo-tomatoes, so barely any fight against dinos seems a stretch. A deadly hybrid falls under "just fucking why?" If you could see freaking actual dinosaurs, why hybrids? Why?
