As much as I love Jurassic park a lot of the dinosaurs besides from a few herbivores are actually from the Cretaceous period, so if you were to replace them with actual dinosaurs what would they be?

The ones I personally would do would be

T Rex- Allosaurus

Velociraptor- Tanycolagreus or Ornitholestes

Triceratops- Stegosaurus

Compsognathus- Probably a Segisaurus or something similar

I'm pretty sure Brachiosaurus or whatever it was called is from the Jurassic but I'd replace it with an Apatosaurus.

Animals kept within electric fences usually don't approach them again once they've learned that the fences are electric. You can usually turn off the electricity after a while, and the animals still stay away from the wires.

This is even mentioned in the Jurassic Park novel, after the electricity go out, as a reassurance that they're probably safe.

But they're not safe at all, the dinosaurs apparently don't behave like cows, goats, pigs, geese etc. They break out almost immediately. Why do they do that?

It's canon both in book and movie that the raptors attack the electric fences all the time. In the book, no reason is stated for it, but in the movie, it's said to be to test the fence for weaknesses. But all the other ones? Why did the T-rex put its front claw on the fence, for example?

One problem with JW is when you have so many visitors and make the dinosaurs breaking loose so unimpactful and almost zero consequences , it just makes audience dont give a care at all .

No visitors are harmed or killed making the incident feel like a walk in a park . Once the island is shutdown everybody is safe and sound , the park becomes a shielded laser area for dinosaurs arena . Lets imagine if this is a zombie movie , effective way is to make people in danger . There will be a lot of tension and thrill . You cannot make a Jurassic movie with 99.9% of people being exempt from danger , it just doesnt work .

What's even bizzare is releasing a T-rex , in fact , this is actually a very illogical and contradictory move . I mean when a lion is out of the cage , then you decide to open the gate of tiger ? It just fundamentally makes no sense . It feels like pouring gas to a fire .

The more effective way to portray the JW is to focus on the visitors in danger , we dont need thousands of NPC that are irrelevant to the incident . Or at least make some portion of people in great danger if population is that massive .

Another thing is the i-rex's escape , its a extremely underwelming sequence . One reason for that is it basically restrict the threat level of the movie , what is better in my opinion is to make the breakout sequence more massive in scale and higher in severity . Because the movie we got actually feel very small scale and regional .

What do you guys think ?

I'm making this post in a very simple, ''lazy'' and ''tired'' way. The Jurassic Franchise has a special place in my heart, the first film that i've ever watched was The Lost World: Jurassic Park. It was basically responsible for making me who i am today, and i'm grateful for that.

I have watched all of the movies, and i love all of them, even the most weakest ones, but i cannot deny that it has many flaws, and also wasted potential, but either way, i enjoy all of them. Recently i started to see more videos of people talking about how the franchise downgraded, specially after Rebirth.

It is fine to hear other people's opinions, and they do have a point, but at the same time, i feel hopeless for the franchise now. We're gonna have a new film that probably won't have a great story, but everyone will go see it because of our love of Dinosaurs, it'll make money, and they'll do another film over and over again. Without going further on having better ideas and just, try to repeat the same thing of the first film.

I have a wish to make a Jurassic film, either as a writer or a Director, i have great ideas for the franchise, and saw other people's ideas that i would love to see in the films. But at the same time tho, i'm not feeling excited the way i used to anymore. People are saying that it's best if they just rebooted the franchise or even make a remake of the first film, which i am deeply against it.

For me, the first film is a timeless masterpiece who provoked a feeling that no other film in the franchise had managed to redo again, in my opinion. And also, i'm an artist and i value other people's work, and seeing that the work of the people behind them aren't valorized enough makes me sad, even if the result isn't perfect, they did the best they could.

Anyway, this is just a post of me just, i don't know, putting out some of my feelings and frustrations that i'm having right now. Say what you think of it, or... if the franchise, still has hope. Bye. :)

This may be a dumb question but after Jurassic World, how exactly did the dinosaurs escape their enclosures? I know they lost power on the island but surely the gates would've remained closed. Because in Camp Cretaceous and Fallen Kingdom, they never showed many dinos getting freed from their enclosures.
