Dinosaur Expert Reacts to Jurassic World Dominion: Prologue

We got Joe Bonsor, a PhD student and palaeontologist for the Natural History Museum London and the University of Bath, to react to the various dinosaurs shown in the Jurassic World: Dominion Prologue. From the spectacular Giganotosaurus vs. T-Rex fight (that shows off a T-Rex with feathers for the first time in Jurassic World or Jurassic Park) to the misunderstood Oviraptor and the recently discovered Moros Intrepidus, Joe gives us his expert opinion on just how realistic these dinosaurs are.

Do you have suggestions as to what our Dinosaur Expert should look at next, films, games? Let us know in the comments below!

Just saying if they remade Walking With Dinosaurs with this quality of VFX and thee updated modern accuracy it could potentially be one of the greatest pieces of dinosaur media of all time

[Samuel-qelj]

Time for a new walking with dinosaurs series with similar budget

[TheGuardianofAzarath]

Well, I’d have thought it was obvious why Rexy doesn’t have feathers/fur, she’s not a ‘pure’ Rex, none of the cloned animals are ‘pure’, since Wu had to mix in other DNA samples to get viable genomes, that was established in the first book.

[laurachapple]

'This is a scared animal that doesn't know what's going on' is not the sort of thing you expect somebody to say about a dinosaur attacking people but he's absolutely right.

[calamnitty]

To be fair, when he was talking about the DNA in the mosquito, I'm pretty sure in the original novel they address this by saying they don't know which dinosaur they're making until it's created.

[HollywoodandWine]

They briefly mentioned in Jurassic world that they engineered the dinosaurs to look like what they think it should look like. Aka more teeth. It was a cool way to still have the dinosaurs look like they have for years and still acknowledge they aren’t technically accurate

[zennyfieldster]

Despite all of the inaccuracies and such, the prologue was honestly fantastic! There was definitely some animal/palaeontologist experts working with the film crew for this one.

[zebare]

The camera man that recorded the intro to the prologue should make an 2h wildlife documentary.

Dolphins beg to differ.

[nicolas_personaltrainer]

Let’s be honest guys, this prologue looked amazing… a great immersive experience

[sonofmovienerdking]

To be fair, they seem to aknowledge the inaccuracies several times. Jurassic World, Henry Wu stated that if the DNA they found was more pure, a lot of the dinosaurs would look very different. In Jurassic Park 3, Alan Grant stated they were "theme park monsters."

[apollyonshost]

Now I'm not saying I've seen a Giganotosaur before, but looking between the fossil rebuilds and the paleoart for Gigas, *that* sure doesn't look like a Giga. It *does* look like an Acrocanthosaurus, though, and while that's removed even further from Trex by many more millions of years, it'd be cool to see Acro get some big screen love

[TrollsAlmighty]

I’m so glad that the first thing that was shown in the video is the fact that these creatures are separated by tens of millions of years. That was also my biggest problem with the prologue. It’s nice to here the real science behind dinosaurs even though it’s easy to forget how much time actually divides their time of reign.

[KingVulpes]

He should play Telltales Jurassic Park, there's a journal that explains the cause of all the inconsistencies

[joep]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Joe!

[nessie]

Fellow paleontologist from MT here. As long as it's not as sad as Fallen Kingdom, I'll be happy with it. "It's not a documentary, it's a Hollywood movie."- Spielberg

[louip]

In Jurassic World, Dr. Wu said that Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

[vishnub.s]

In Jurassic world movie only Henry Wu explained that these dinosaurs were not genetically pure, they were always mixed with frog DNA so they looked quite different than prehistoric dinos

[erakattack]

Refreshing to hear the thoughts of an expert who can appreciate the depiction without being snobby about it. If you want that, see 90% of the comments on this video...

[alejandrovallejo]

It really baffles me that they keep making the the most iconic dinosaur of their franchise lose every single fight with other big carnivores, like come on, it’s the most iconic dinosaur of your franchise, give it some love ffs!
