Not a single dino is a true-to-life recreation. The movie gets points for making that clear."<br /><br />Maybe not too many points, though, as they simply imported this idea from the first film. True, you didn't have someone openly complaining that the dinosaurs didn't look "realistic" (whatever that means--that they didn't have feathers, I guess?), but they still stated that they used frog DNA to fill in the genetic gaps. I remember that part very clearly.Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-73040372831765863322017-12-12T11:13:08.328+09:002017-12-12T11:13:08.328+09:00As someone who read the "Jurassic Park,"...As someone who read the "Jurassic Park," and loved it, I hated the first film's ending as it ruined the book where the island was razed but not before some of the more dangerous dinos had escaped and were thriving on the mainland. And, of course, the next book which was not a sequel Michael Crichton planned on ever penning (until the money got too good) just ignored the future of a planet overrun by dinos that "Jurassic Park" set up in the book's ending. Now, those films exploring a New York, Tokyo, London, Paris, Karachi, Seoul, etc. overrun by dinos would really be something to watch as the following films haven't really improved upon the first's premise.
