Jurassic world

On a side note, the website lists the mosasaur as 60 feet long, but the one in the trailer looks way bigger. Admittedly, I do have a very poor perception of size. What do you guys think?

Looked a lot bigger than that!
 
Based on the underwater viewing it appears to be at least 250 ft to me. Here's a comparison chart:

What I find funny is that the one in the video is clearly at least a few hundred feet long, but the JW website lists it as 60 feet. What's with that?

The explaination is quite obvious: it's a Super Mutant Mosasaur that can change size! Probably ate a Pym particle or even Ant-Man himself, thereby tying the different cinematic universes together to make more money. Next stage: Star-Lord takes the raptors to outer space to help the Jedi Na'vi fight Klingon Alien xenomorphs sponsored by Skylab Decepticon leader Nazi-Sauron. ;)

Or maybe it's just inconsequent, lazy cinematography aimed at cheap thrills.

It'll probably be both, like the first film.

Because I'm a big whiny dino nerd, I'm kind of miffed about how inaccurate some of the creatures are, (as mentioned, the overly large mosasaurs, and the depiction of a pterosaur carrying off an adult) but I might go see the movie anyway. I hope there's a good amount of variety and we get at least some scientifically accurate ones. I don't normally get sucked in by graphics, but dang, some of the visuals look pretty sweet. If nothing else, I can at least get a kick out of laughing at some of the cheesier things, like the raptor army and aforementioned pterosaur.

But I'm still questioning the plot. The new superdino doesn't really look all that much more spectacular than real dinos. I don't really picture it attracting more guests than regular dinos. Also, I'm wondering what the purpose was of making superdino smart. It's supposed to be a theme park attraction, it looks cool. Unless they plan on training it to do tricks, making it super intelligent seems like extra work and a stupid idea.

The whole point of the Hybrid and the Raptor Training is Hoskins wants use them for military purposes.

One of the original plans for Jurassic World was that it would be about human-dinosaur hybrids. (you can find concept art online, it's pretty stupid looking) Some people are theorizing that JW is taking a bit of inspiration from the scrapped concept with the hybrid dinos, but also that InGen might be making them for reasons other than park attendance. I wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be the case, since like I and others have pointed out, making I. rex just to attract theme park guests is dumb.

I'm wondering what the mosasaur is going to lead up to. Unlike the other reptiles, it can't escape the exhibit and run around, but you don't get something that big and not have it do something cool.
 
I might go see the movie tomorrow, if so, I'll let you know what I think. I wasn't interested at first, but admittedly, some of the later material got me hyped. I might enjoy it in the same way I did the original Jurassic Park, having fun even if the film sounds like an idiot plot and the animals aren't too accurate.
 
Went to see it today,
Very disappointed the plot just never got me in :(
It was very much about one action scene after another and the human characters never really became likeable.
 
Saw the movie. As I suspected, I enjoyed it in the same way I enjoyed the first film. Though this time around, the plot wasn't really an Idiot Plot. The plot and characters weren't too interesting (though I did think they were better than the first film, which didn't have very good plot and characters to begin with) and the dino action was cool. In the end, isn't that what I really went in to see? The answer is yes. It's not like we get lots of theatrical dinosaur movies.
 
I am looking forward to seeing this movie. I am approaching this as 2hrs of entertainment rather than as a documentary about dinosaurs. I expect a wild ride!
