The production of this movie is insane

[@Trash-ef2jn]

For context after the films directors Scott Beck and Bryan woods finished writing a quiet place they were brainstorming some film ideas for months and one they had was a concept about aliens landing on earth at the end of the cretaceous. And so they begin writing the script and pitched it to Sony pictures who accepted and work began in late 2019 and the film was announced in February 2020. The casting was announced a month later with Adam driver being the star and the pandemic complicated some things but were able to follow guidelines and the reason why filming was done mostly in Louisiana and a few other states because of lockdown and the visual effects were done by framestore the visual effects company that did the cgi for the original walking with dinosaurs. Everything went smoothly and a test screening was held and was a disaster. The audience was not very impressed with the movie because of this Sony pictures demanded that the entire movie to be rewriting and every scene to be reshot and the cgi also to be replaced with the designs seen in the movie on a short term the test screening was on March of 2021 and trailer was released on October 2022 that means that the entire movie was rewriting,reshot and the cg work completely replaced on a small time and the budget went from 91 million to 47 million dollars and because of the nightmarish production Sony barely marked it and purposefully had the trailers misleading the viewers into thinking its a time travel movie so that when the movie is released people who have went to see it theaters they would have been duped. And it did not help that scream 6 was released the same day

[@LoudmouthReviews]

I think what I hated most about this movie is how the "dinosaurs" do nothing except try to kill something almost every second they are on screen. While the Jurassic Park movies certainly portrayed dinosaurs as potentially dangerous it still had an appreciation for the beauty of animals of the distant past. The "dinosaurs" in 65 are ugly murder machines that seemed to be designed to have as little sympathy as possible. When the meteor wipes them out the audience certainly doesn't think that the world lost anything you instead think "lol fuck these monsters." As an animal lover I found it in serious bad taste

[@stendec6649]

Especially since in the end credits they show a burning dino carcass in the background. God, this isn't the 1950s, when dinosaurs were treated as hopeless creatures that deserved extinction

[@Justmonika6969]

I feel like JP resonated with audiences because it was nuanced in its storytelling. They didn't tell you how or what to think, just the facts and different points of view. There was Hammond's side of the story and then there was Malcolm's. The paleontologists were stuck in the center. Of course, by the end of the film, it's obvious that Hammond was in the wrong, but he's written sympathetically because dinosaurs are fucking awesome and we all would love to see them alive in our lifetimes. With these recent, shittier movies, they definitely feel dumbed down for a "modern audience" and don't seem to respect our intelligence. I think that is mainly what is missing here and leads into your issue with the film, which is also shared with mine.

[@rickyrackey7930]

The thought of dinosaurs being bloodthirsty and savage brutes that murder and conquer has been outdated for 90 Years. They are animals, not Saiyans.

[@tofuteh2348]

Well not all the JP movies. JP3 is guilty of that as well

[@kennethsatria6607]

​​​@@tofuteh2348Not really considering the obvious logic that the raptors were distressed over their eggs being stolen, the Spinosaurus was likely shot and then grazed by the plane of the main characters, and the pterosaurs were likely somewhat starved and then became defensive when the humans threatened their chicks and new food source. Compared to 65 JP3 is not all that unnattural in terms of agression. Especially since logically natural dinos would be weary of humans as an entirely alien creature, wheras the park's might not have any fear of humans because of interaction and familiarity. Yet somehow 65s dinosaurs are demonic.

[@Gorgonopsidcommenter]

5:32 - 8:33 THIS! I have seen a good amount of people who complain about scientific accuracy because “It doesn’t matter, it’s not a documentary or something…” when Dinosaurs in REAL LIFE are far more interesting (and in turn,at times more intimidating) than anything the recent Hollywood blockbusters have given us. Or people saying that accuracy ruins the design of the dinosaurs, even though it’s not that hard to make a dinosaur design fit with the rest of the respective piece of media’s aesthetic without making it look completely different from its real life counterpart. (Jesus Christ, I think this is the longest comment I’ve written…)

[@stupendemysgeographicus5009]

In my opinion, there’s a kind of horror realistically designed (and even more importantly, realistically acting) animals that can capture something no “generic monster” can. The greatest fear is famously the fear of the unknown. When something is obviously “scary looking”, you can king of predict what it will do, how the scene will play out. With a more realistic monster, you can have a sense of ambiguity, leaving you guessing as to what it will do next.

This movie feels like a classic 40s 50s dinosaur adventure movie but in all the worst ways, inaccurate dinosaur designs, plot consists of people walking in the jungle and random animals appears, animals with cartoony and unrealistic behavior.

[@vesperadoe]

The slow dinosaur trope: wouldn't it be novel if the dinosaurs approached slowly because they've never seen a human before? Like you're chillin' in the Cretaceous, then, suddenly, these vertical, garbling, alien monstrosities that sometimes make explosion sounds pop out of nowhere. If I were a T-Rex, I'd approach it slowly too since 1) wtf is that thing? and 2) is it dangerous? Since anyone who's had to deal with an angry cat, for example, knows small =/= safe. It's a shame that dinos are rarely shown to be cautiously curious about new things in these kinds of movies. Or just cautious in general.

11:38- What makes the Dinosaur designs even worse in this case is that the two examples you listed here actually have good reason to be designed the way they are. The V-Rex is an example of Speculative Evolution, being a species of Tyrannosaur that evolved over millions of years to become what it was, as well as deliberately being a nod to old paleoart of the 1930s. And the Indominus Rex was a genetically created organism that uses Dinosaurs as a base. 65's Dinosaurs are meant to be based off of the real life animals. Unless you're doing something like a spec-evo or a Jurassic Park style film, your dinosaurs have VERY little excuse looking the way they do.

[@jacobcox4565]

It's insane that the most accurate design in this movie was A- not a dinosaur, and B- still has an egregiously bad inaccuracy in the form of *putting the eyes in the nostrils!* It's so bad that Id expect this kind of mistake from a paleontologist in the 1890s.

[@markcobuzzi826]

If I may throw in a couple of my ideas to supplement this premise: 1.) Given that these aliens would presumably be non-human, the narrative could rely almost entirely on visual storytelling, in a similar manner as Genndy Tartakovsky’s “Primal”. In fact, also given the fact that Genndy is thinking about expanding “Primal” into an anthology series, I could easily see him making one or more episodes, about an advanced non-human alien being marooned on prehistoric Earth and tapping into its own primordial instincts to survive. 2.) Also, perhaps the marooned aliens could turn out to have brought wildlife and domesticated beasts from their home planet along for the ride. That way, we can see grounded speculative alien fauna interacting with paleo-accurate Late Cretaceous wildlife. This aspect can culminate in a fight between T. rex and one of the alien home-world’s most feared beasts (whether it is a natural apex predator, a gigantic domesticated war/hunting beast, etc.), where the T. rex wins and makes the alien characters fear Earth as the more hostile world.

@@ZombieChicken1310 Sure, I prefer JWD’s designs over 65’s, but I guess the Giganotosaurus is also a “whateverasaurus” too because it lacks many of the features (Brow horns above the nasal fenestrae instead of the eyes, keel on the end of jaw) that make it recognizable from other mega-theropods, and as such makes it feel less unique.

I was thinking that a decent time period for this movie would've actually been 65,999,990 years ago. Have it take place far enough away from the impact that life isn't completely obliterated but where the last of the large predators are starving and the large herbivores are all nearly extinct. This time period checks a lot of boxes: -More carnivores than herbivores. Since herbivores would starve first as the food chain collapsed from the bottom. -The carnivores are more "bloodthirsty". They're all starving and are willing to both attack and pursue unknown creatures. -The dinosaurs are shrink wrapped. Because they're all starving. We joke about movie dinos starving but just make it true. -Less feathers. Starvation and stress do negatively impact plumage so you can get away with a little more of the quill plumage.

[@arctic_andy_infinity5708]

I was upset when Dangerville supported the movie and said it had everything to make a good movie and deserved a better rotten tomato score. It's clearly a bland movie that does everything wrong and doesn’t care about, not just the dinosaurs, but also the story. Just like The Meg movies. But somehow they gave the movie a 7/10? Why?

That awkward moment when “After Earth but with dinosaurs” is an inferior movie to the actual After Earth. Ugh this movie has so much potential and it fumbled it on almost every aspect.

[@zaheershaikh6879]

To add to the anatomical designs being just plain bad, they were also too lazy to *AUDIBLY* distinguish the _T. rex_ duo from the "Quadrex", both sharing the exact same roars, which makes it impossible for people watching while not paying attention to distinguish the two in the slightest. As much ragging as the _Jurassic World_ designs get anatomy-wise, they still at least had the decency to put as much effort as they can to making the animals *SOUND* distinct from one another On that note, couple of things to address: 44:14 - Likely a BOOM Library monster roar 44:17 - Some have already pointed it out on other platforms, but the specific set of growls that one comes from is *NOT* a lion, but in reality a male leopard, yet Hollywood won't bother correcting that

[@kade-qt1zu]

Why even make 2 seperate creatures. Apart from one of them being quadrupedal they're practically the same.

[@zaheershaikh6879]

@@kade-qt1zu Precisely the issue right there. The 2 monsters (refusing to call these designs "animals") fill the exact same generic role with nothing to distinguish them aside one being bipedal and the other quadrupedal. Lazily written, lazily utilized, and lazily applied sound design that makes the two practically impossible to tell apart. At that point, you hit the nail on the head, why bother having them 2 separate monsters anyway?

[@V1ncenz010]

For me it was fun, but at first the ending was dissapointing because the rexes just died and the triceratops substitute got fried super fast

[@darthplagueis13]

You know what's really funny about the language thing? In the scene where Adam Driver teaches her the word "family" she pronounces the A as Ah. In other words, she's pronouncing it like someone who barely speaks any English reading the word "family" out loud would when using another language that uses the letter A differently, for example German or Spanish, for reference. But she's not supposed to be reading it. She's supposed to be just repeating after Mills, meaning she would match his pronunciation as best as she could. This part of her accent makes literally no sense because she is learning the language phonetically. If, for example, she was a native German speaker with literally no knowledge of English whatsoever, she would, after hearing Mills say "family" probably assume it's spelt "Femmilie". Because that's what it would sound like for her. She would have no way of telling that the word "family" contains a letter that is related to an ah-sound in her language. The only way it makes sense for her to pronounce family as "fah-mily" like she did would be if she already spoke English in the first place. Or if Adam Driver delivered that line with a solid scotch accent that was cut in post.

[@erichtomanek4739]

I didn't watch this movie since the name is 65. The asteroid hit 66 million years ago. This means 65 million years ago there were NO dinosaurs, except birds. They would have been in a world dominated by rather small animals. And that big carnivore in the film looks like a Phartisaurus max.

[@bkjeong4302]

Actually, by 65MYA mammals were already starting to get big-the idea giant birds dominated the world before mammals got big and outcompeted them is a myth and was always contradicted by fossil evidence, which showed mammals got big first.

[@LeviAckerman-cl6iy]

One of the worst things is that even from a concept art standpoint…the dinos don’t look cool. They look kinda bleh. If you slapped some interesting colors on them or spiced up their silhouette maybe it’d be better as a creature feature! It really wouldn’t take that much, even just giving them some stripes or a nice gradient- maybe chin crests? But no. They want boring weirdly proportioned malnourished geckos and to hide behind the scientifically accurate dino horror banner for some reason. Nature irl is so much more interesting not even counting how wonderful dinosaurs themselves are and what they’ve designed couldn’t even hold up to nature’s most “””boring””” designs. What are the blubbering on about nightmare fuel what-

If I directed 65 I would definitely have the aliens (actual aliens not just glorified humans) traverse the post asteroid world, it would be the biggest troll in cinema and I would have loved it. Plus its a good way to teach people about the new kpg boundary.

[@kyleevison8889]

Yeah the human difficulties in this movie are close to point negative difficulty. Even in the Jurassic park movies I can see some of the humans having issues surviving, whether being on their own, or not having the best skills to deal with the dinosaurs. Plus if a human was close to death most of the time in those movies, the dinosaurs would always get the upper hand with their pack numbers or their incredible skills. In this movie if a character’s wounded, carnivores are forced to delete their brain cells and die very stupidly.

Imagine if the aliens were floating, transluscent snake like creatures with no eyes and ten stilt like legs that percieved the world by smelling color and tasting sounds. They're also blue. Have it so that the aliens are severely outmached by the dinosaurs, since, because dinosarus can see colors, they're masked so the aliens can't smell them, and since they're quiet in order to hunt, the aliens can't detect them at all, forcing our protagonists to think of an inventive way to survive. Actually play into the ridiculousness of the premise while still keeping some emotional turmoil and character bonding. Doesn't that sound like a much better movie than this thing?

[@t.z2359]

Even ignoring accuracy, the dinosaurs still look bad. This could just be my personal taste, but when I look at the designs they don’t exude any personality, or show me any background for how they lived. The only dinosaur design, that did the latter, was the over raptor, and even then, they just made it albino and blind. if you’re going to design dinosaurs and throwing accuracy to the wind, then, be interesting!

[@t.z2359]

To be clear I don’t think this is a problem with the production artists or animators. I think it just reflects a lack of a clear vision throughout production.

[@Bagelgeuse]

[@simbiotesnus1013]

The setting of the movie looks like they actually wanted make "Turok" 2008 into movie, but didn't want to pay the game developers, so they disguised the adaptation as a "completely original movie" and made something up from their ass. There was no need for them to claim that it was an Alien who landed on Earth 65 million years ago, they could have simply said that the planet Mills landed on was not Earth, or that humans had to leave Earth and then the dinosaurs took over the planet again.

[@KsnypsAdventures]

If I were to sum up this movie, I’d say that it tries to mimic Riddick with its „badass dude crashes on an alien planet” Unfortunately, the screenwriters forgot an essential part, thus making the movie not Riddick, but Dick

I honestly wish they were just humans on an alien planet. It’s been a long ass time since we got a film that isn’t Avatar or more recently Dune where we see humans surviving on an alien planet just populated with cool shit but instead they went with Dinosaurs that are boring as fuck and does nothing interesting with the setup. I kinda exclude Avatar and Dune because the setup is less stranded on an alien planet and just more human politics in space 🤷‍♂️. Go watch the short film Beacon. Does the concept really damn well.

At least Ark tried with its newer dinosaurs.

[@GTSE2005]

Ark's newer designs are examples of how to make a good awesomebro dino

[@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778]

Arks dinosaurs aren't supposed to be accurate. In lore they are created using DNA from all sorts of creatures, Megalodon in ark for example is not even a megalodon its actually in lore an oversized great white shark with bits of megalodon DNA. Arks designs take elements from all eras of the dinosaur they are depicting. Arks dinos seem to go for a 80s to 90s style dinosaur design mixed with modern depictions and some Jurassic park elements. Take the spinosaurus for example. it is quadrupedal and bipedal. Its also a very good aquatic mount. It takes designs from all eras of spino that we know and makes an awesome version of it that respects the dinosaur. Arks dinosaurs are made for gameplay reasons. The reason the ankylosaurus has a pickaxe like tail is to harvest metal for example. They are designed with gameplay in mind and not with accuracy. It would be really boring if every dinosaur functioned the same like most irl animals and didn't have niches they filled. Thats why most dinosaur simulator games are boring walking simulators. Ark gives a gameplay loop for each dinosaur and makes most of them stand out from each other.

[@kelstonhubler951]

Honestly, seeing these creator interviews where they are talking about putting ‘realistic’ (in their own heads at least) speculation into the creatures’ biology beyond the fossil record, I’m pretty sure I figured out what the ‘Quad-Rex’ was actually supposed to be: in the 65 movie’s world, T. rexes are pseudo-eusocial creatures with the more ‘traditional’ small-armed Rexes being males/drones/soldiers and the ‘Quad-Rex,’ being the female/Queen caste. As nutty as that is, everything falls into place: why the ‘Quad-Rex’ also has two claws on its front legs/roughly the same appearance, why it is bigger than the males while the males have prominent horns/colorful streaks, why it appears immediately after the two smaller males are killed (its underlings), why it is referred to as a ‘T.rex’ in the fake docu. Sexual dimorphism is a common scifi trope for aliens/monsters, if they were doing some research on things scientists don't know about dinosaurs, they may have read about the difficulty paleontologists can have in discerning between probable males and females in extinct species and got the idea of an “undiscovered female” T.rex from there (maybe not looking into the subject further and seeing that we actually do have confirmed female T.rex specimens) Doubly, as the moviegoing public would no doubt be expecting to see a T.rex and the creators clearly didn’t care about accuracy, my guess is it’s early appearance through the waterfall (where you can’t see its forelegs clearly and without knowing ahead of time would just guess it’s a normal T.rex) was supposed to be the setup for the “subverted expectations” moment later on where it receals itself in that final-boss entry shot (maybe inspired by the Xenomorph Queen reveal in Aliens?), only for nobody in audience to pick up on it because the film was butchered by the studio, the concept was rushed and there is nothing included in the actual story for such a reveal to be relevant. You could say Im giving this way too much thought but yet again, the idea is bonkers enough to fit in this movie. Honestly, it would be pretty fun for a proper B-movie that didn't take itself as seriously with more original creature designs.

[@petrfedor1851]

They wanted wierd quadrepedal predator to be final boss and ignored Quetzalcoatlus. Just pathetic.

While personally think the film itself is just okay, I hate that the film makers say some bullshit about trying to make the Dinosaurs as realisticly as possible but yet make them unrecognizable just to make them look scary and even the realistic looking animal in the film witch is the dsungaripterus is ruined by the dumb design choice of putting the eye on the nostril just to make it look monstrous.
