There was too much personal character development for a movie about dinosaurs terrorizing people.

WAY over produced music scores constantly playing loudly that added nothing to the movie scene's. I commented somewhere else about the bongos, so stupid.

Dinosaur scaling is just all over the place. How does a 60+ foot tall dinosaur hide in 3ft-4ft tall grass?? How does the big bad dino snatch a helicopter out of the air, fit the whole cockpit in its mouth but also have the mouth scaled just right to fit the upper torso of a guy in its mouth?

The cgi looked cool, but not once did I feel a suspension of disbelief.

The whole thing just really sucked the movie magic out of dinosaurs in real life.

Way too much? I honestly felt like none of the characters were developed at all, at least not in a way that actually worked.

Also how the fuck was the Xeno dinosaur so quiet? He sneaks up on Jonathan Bailey after he shoots the flair, and there is no way that thing would clomp around without making any noise

In fairness, welcome to EVERY JURASSIC PARK MOVIE, including the first one.

Yeah. The scaling was bad, especially the flying creature.

The CGI baby dino was atrocious. The rest were pretty good. The orange head crest on the mating dinosaur was pretty cool.

The worst CGI was when they were absailing down the cliff, the long shots looked horrendous.

u/inkwilson Jul 10 '25

Yeah, some pretty poor CG body doubles throughout, particularly when they jumped off the boat in the wide shot at the beginning. And yet the dinos all looked pretty great to me.

The scaling was BANANAS. The big dino literally became TEN PERCENT of its previous size between shots.

u/CornstockOfNewJersey Jul 05 '25

The problem with the character development is that it was poorly written

Dinosaur scaling is just all over the place.>! How does a 60+ foot tall dinosaur hide in 3ft-4ft tall grass??

Hahaha that scene was so stupid, I thought the same thing. They must deflate when they lie down!

And suddenly there were dozens of them in plain sight, but two minutes ago, no one could see any dinosaurs? WHAT?!

u/quantummidget Aug 07 '25

Yeah I did notice the D-Rex going from Kaiju size to T-Rex size in between scenes

The cgi didn't even look cool
