Unfortunately,
there were many problems. These were: ship covered in body parts; t-rex escaped
the ship; territorial dinosaurs; and legume-eating dinosaurs.
*****SPOILERS*****
Ship: Covered in Body Parts
There
are body parts all over the ship that brought the t-rex to America. What caused
this? The t-rex wouldn’t have been able to escape without the deaths on the
ships, meaning the film’s finale couldn’t have happened otherwise. Hence, if
the cause isn’t sensible, the film’s finale is unfeasible.
The detached arm pressing the button
opening the access hatch looked exactly like the detached arm in the first
film. That was done by raptors so maybe this was caused by raptors, too.
However, if there were stowaways, why didn’t they have a part during the
finale? The raptors would need to feed and they would be seen so they wouldn’t
go unnoticed, so why weren’t they mentioned on the news? So this option isn’t
feasible.
The
adult t-rex couldn’t come out before the hatch was opened, and the guy opening
the hatch already had his body eaten before the hatch opened. Thus the t-rex
isn’t responsible for the deaths, either.
The
fact that the ship hit where it was meant to dock meant that the murder
happened very recently to the crash. There wouldn’t have been enough time
between the deaths and the crash for the baby t-rex to be unloaded from the
ship. (The baby t-rex had been unloaded beforehand because it was in a
warehouse which Malcolm/Sarah sped towards.) Hence, if the baby t-rex was
unloaded before the deaths, the baby t-rex didn’t cause the deaths, either.
So,
it’s clear that the strewn body parts of the crew have no clear perpetrator.
Ship: T-rex Escaped
Now,
the t-rex was in a steel cage before it was on the ship. When it escaped the
ship, it was obviously not in the cage. So what happened in between, and why?
Maybe
they let it out of the cage when it was on the ship. Surely no-one would think
that was safe? Even if lions and elephants are tranquilised for transport,
they’re still caged for safety! For something as dangerous and unknown as a
t-rex, security and safety would be an even more important consideration.
The
only other possibility was that the t-rex was in the steel cage on the
boat and it broke free from the cage. Honestly, this cannot be a feasible
possibility. Not only is it a hard metal but the cage was designed to hold the
t-rex specifically, meaning they would have accounted for the t-rex’s strength.
Not to mention the cage keeps it lying down so it can’t stand up (a necessity
for using its full strength).
So,
was the t-rex kept in the cage or not? neither option is feasible. As such,
this is another major issue concerning the film’s finale.
Dinosaurs: Territorial
Hammond
told Malcolm that the dinosaurs were ‘fiercely territorial with different
dinosaurs on different parts of the island’. Yet the herbivores all moved
together on the game trail: many dinosaurs on one part of the island.
Maybe
it’s just the carnivores that a territorial? However, when Malcolm is shown
pictures of the territorial dinosaurs by Hammond, one of them was a pachy.
Which is a herbivore. It showed no territorial behaviour towards the other
dinosaurs on the game trail, so it’s clearly can’t be an exception to the
‘carnivore only’ thought.
Maybe
the herbivores are territorial, but as the hunters went through several
territories, it drove all the species onwards and hence mixed them together? Yet
when the hunters first encounter the dinosaurs, they are already mixed
somewhat. Yes, different species are added along the way. However, the distance
we see the hunters travel was too short to have gone through several
territories (considering the size of the dinosaurs, the size of their
territories would be massive). So the hunting doesn’t explain why the
herbivores weren’t acting territorially.
Dinosaurs: Legume-eating
Sarah
says all the flourishing dinosaurs are the ones eating legumes. How are there
enough legumes to feed all these massive dinosaurs? If legumes were that
abundant, the audience would have seen at least one legume species. We didn’t.
So this was a massive oversight.
Legumes
grow near the ground. Most sauropods hold their necks in the air. So their main
food source being the opposite place they’ve evolved to eat from would be bad
for their posture.
Yes,
giraffes bend to the ground, but they do it rarely precisely because it’s a
problem. Sauropods, being bigger than giraffes, would find it more difficult,
especially if they have to do it regularly.
Bad
posture causes pain, making an animal a target. A suffering animal can’t be
labelled as ‘flourishing’. Despite this, the sauropods seem to be doing just as
well as the other dinosaurs. (Yes, there are fewer sauropods than other
dinosaurs, but smaller species in all animal groups outnumber large species.
Hence the sauropod population isn’t an indication of not-flourishing.)
Something
doesn’t add up.
