MemberCompsognathusApr-24-2015 7:40 AMI don't mind the idea and execution for the scene itself, but the I.rex is one of the most stupid ideas that could have been implemented in the JP franchise at this point. We are not even getting to see a dinosaur that actually existed here...were is the wow factor in that? What traditionally set JP apart from other fantasy sci-fi films is that we knew that the animals we were seeing were based, even if somewhat loosely at times, on real animals. I. rex has completely obliterated that strength of the JP franchise. Not to mention that I rex looks like a ripped off version of Jackson's King Kong reptilian based T. rex. I. rex is stupid,, stupid, stupid....an epic fail. It should have been replaced with a hyper aggressive Carcharadontosaurus or Giganotosaurus.....

If you understand the JP story and universe, you'd know that logically, somehwere down the line, someone would exploit the technology and make the original vision "work". Then once the original vision worked, and time went on, they would be seeking to expand the popularity of their attractions.
And for geneticists that have actually created and brought back to life dozens of dinosaur species...they would inevitably push boundaries of it. Combined with corporate interest in what profits could be drawn from experimenting with hybrids...its just all completely inevitable. In other words, if the JP universe were real, the story of this movie is an eventuallity. It had to have basically written itself, for someone willing to listen.
That said, they couldn't have done a better job keeping it tasteful and making a dinosaur character that is not all that divergent from previous Rex/Spino characters, and is totally believable.
You claim its SO horribly bad because they didn't call it a Giganotosaurus. News Flash, if they had gone that route...you're still probably seeing visually the same representation. The same movie. This is what their "Giganotosaurus" would have looked like anyway (mostly).
At least with it being an unpredictable hybrid, it is far more believable that something could go wrong in the first place. A mature, 10-years-running dino park should know how to prevent one carnivore from burning the place to the ground.
And I. rex bares no signficant resemblence to king kong's therapod.

If you do not like what you have seen, simply do not support the film. I, for one, find the premise of the I-rex to be quite compelling! The animal itself is (in my opinion) obviously malformed in both physiology and psychology. Its teeth are not situated quite right, it moves about as if uncertain of how to behave within its own body (it appears to have a stance that is a strange combination of both a bipedal and quadrupedal method of locomotion), and it is quite obviously insane! The honest truth of the matter is that an animal that has been so gentically bastardized (from what I have read and observed) could not possibly be born "correct". This is a true "monster"; everything that audiences want - and the next logical leap that a multi-billion dollar industry would take in order to remain viable in a competitve industry. :)
