Jurassic Park - Trailer

first one was OK because it was original, even got a basketball team named after it Toronto Raptors

no one knew what a raptor was so movie was educational although getting DNA from mosquitoes frozen in tree sap is impossible according to what I read

movie also did not show dinosaurs with feathers which is the latest belief

Why not hire paleontologists to get the facts straight ?


the sequels are dumb because of their predictability

long as the ecosystem remained more or less the same
there is no reason for dinosaurs to have evolved to a higher
form of life.

Interesting comments Oil & Gas. You could be right.

What were the hostilities, besides those reptiles (as if that's not enough)? Big insects too? Volcanoes everywhere?

Why was everything big before the Extinction Event?

Yes, the first one was educational.

Still entertaining I suppose but if humans team up with dinos in this latest one, it may seem a little far-fetched. Dinosaurs had the smallest brains.

Yes, I read cloning dinos is not possible.

Also, even in the earlier JP movies, they mentioned how some dinosaurs seemed more bird-like than reptilian. Do we know for sure that they were cold-blooded? They certainly act like reptiles (lay eggs, etc.).

The Raptor and especially that one with the peacock mane that spit poison were somewhat bird like.

Fascinating Earth history.

Do not go see it in 3D. There's only a few 3D effects in the movie and afterwards I doubt you'll be able to remember them, that's how little effects there are. I took my niece and nephew to see it in normal format Sunday night but could not get seats together (even though we were 30mins early) so we had to wait for the next show but it was only in 3D. I had to watch it. The 3D gave me a headache afterwards.

It was good though. Worth a watch

Ok thanks Smash!

size of brain is not the important factor in intelligence

it is ratio of brain to body size as less body means the brain can be used for intelligence

that is why we are the smartest animal

some birds are very smart

dinosaurs were very dumb

Okay but don't think my comment was off the mark.

Their brains were smaller than ours (size of a walnut or clenched fist as I recall from my elementary school days), which means low intelligence given their massive size (which is what you're saying).

Yet, there was that dinosaur with the flared mane that deceived that human hunter in JP. Is there any truth to that?

doubt it

doubt that raptors were smart as the film suggests although they had a smaller body so they were smarter than the behemoths because they hunted in packs
 
Bryce Dallas Howard having some fun. If you look at her career this decade, a case could be made that being Ron Howard's daughter has worked against her.

Of course they're dumb. Dumb as fucking dirt. Here's any Jurassic Park sequel if it were only slightly less dumb:

So we're going to re-open the dino park? Cool. Whose in charge of designing the cages, Bob? Hey Bob, don't forget to build extra security features up the ass this time. Yeah, get really redundant, we don't want any repeats of "the incident". What kind of moron wouldn't learn from that and plan accordingly?

Roll credits.

Hmmm, less dumb but boring. Methinks I'll take dumb and a bucket of popcorn.

Mammals could easily have evolved if not for first mass extinction
Mammals were LARGER originally (google Synapsids) but most died off except for things like rats in an earlier extinction event

AFTER mammals died, dinosaurs evolved and became the apex predators, and they themselves then died off in another extinction

After dinosaur extinction then came the evolution that led to humans
