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

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

Thing that confuses me the most about this movie is that it takes place ON EARTH and yet none of the dinosaurs look like actual dinosaurs, they look like something from King Kong Skull Island. I've heard tons of defense of this movie in the form of "yeah well Adam Driver and Girl person are from another timeline or some shit and have never seen dinosaurs so the movie had them look like monsters, because to them, they would be monsters" Buuuut you can convey that to us, the audience, that Kylo Ren and Girl whatever see these creatures as monsters while still having them look like dinosaurs. They just didn't try. Also, they would have history books, would they not? Even in Non-descript future times? They're still humans. It would have been better if they'd landed on an alien planet or better yet, if THEY were aliens. Then the dinosaurs looking like Godzillas inbred children would make slightly more sense. Ok so apparently they ARE aliens? I honestly could not follow anything, that's how bored I was during this movie. I only went to see it because my GF dragged me along because "Kylo Ren is in it" her words, not mine.

This review made me appreciate Jurassic Shark. 1) Jurassic Shark is a movie with possible budget that is meant to be dumb. 2) The shark design is really good 3) It has an iconic quote: "You drilled too deep!". 4) It has more characters and even some basic character development.

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.

Man, sci-fi now is so much overrepresented by shit like this with baffling concepts. "What if humans were aliens? I'm a genius!". No exploration of the consequences of that fact, no explanation of how we would eventually become primitive again and zero, and I mean zero, real science behind anything that matters. 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.

[@Bagelgeuse]

So basically, the moment where Ann Darrow meets the Foetodon in Peter Jackson's King Kong. God I wish he made another dinosaur movie.

[@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.

[@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.

Of course because the movie is about both characters going on a parallels treck through the ancient wilderness together no one actually dies but the only reason both characters survived the trip was because of them supporting and hoping each other at any cost.

I want to find saddening how little care the production team putted into the creatures of the movie, but i then remember that aside from the V-Rex and the plucked, sick, albino Oviraptor, any other creature is just a big "whateversaurus" But compare 65 to things like Pikmin or Avatar, where they even make their own taxonomy classification for their fictional species. P.D: The "fish" that eats a corpse was supposed to be an amphibian like Crassigyrinus or something, but from the spikes alone there was no way it was true; and the quadrupedal papo rex is supposedly a Fasolasuchus, but it's obvious they just added big arms to what the general public thinks a T-rex looks like. P.P.D: The only thing that's missing for it to be the ultimate whatever dinosaur movie of all time is to have a pack of raptors taking down a hadrosaur 500 times the weight of the pack.

[@trevoris18]

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.

[@MinecraftWorld1954]

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.

[@richardsorgo8600]

Also no one told these directors that prowling should be reserved for when a predatory animal is looking for prey and is pinpointing where they are. Not when prey is in their grasp. The JP Velociraptor kitchen scene I think is a good example of this. They're slow and methodical when looking for their prey. But once they locate the two kids they spring into action claws blazing.

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

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?

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.

[@Gorgonopsidcommenter]

@@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. Even the more recognizable designs like Therizinosaurs still lack features that make those animals so weird looking (Narrow head, pot belly).

[@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.

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!

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.

The sad part is that I've heard people tell me this movie is fine because Jurassic park is inaccurate too and they never did a complete 180 on the aesthetic of the dinosaurs in that franchise to make them more accurate in the later films, they still had cock ups which weren't even excusable by 1993 standards but not as bad as this, people letting shit like whatever that four legged herpes creature pass as a proper dinosaur is completely whack, my 7 year old cousin could tell that thing's existence was a mistake and he doesn't even like dinosaurs, in conclusion, comparing this modern movie which started production recently to a 30 year old film franchise that is just trying to hold a semi consistent aesthetic is bullshit and jurassic world levels of realism should be the exception not the norm, we should try make modern media modern and leave legacy franchises be and stop using them as scapegoats

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.

Yeah the human difficulties in this movie are close to point negative difficulty.
