THE BALLAD OF BIG ROCK - Rick Raptor Reviews 

Holy shit I did not notice that. Fr they should do more details on things like that :D

Well the therazinosaurus will be blind… Although at the time you commented this you probably wouldn’t know that, would you…

@@HankTheT.Rex69 Nope, had no clue at the time, and the half-blind Theri in the movie was cool too, though its blindness never really used outside of its intro scene

I’d love to see you do the Dingo Pictures dinosaur cartoon, from an animation point of view as well as palaeontology

If that’s the case, Rick oughta find an altar to worship this other one eyed monster theropod.

Dryo you here?

Dryo ? OMG

You can speak eanglish!!!!

And other companies are also responsible for making dinosaurs so rexy blue and toro might be able to reproduce

and nasuto might have been made by another company

me

@@Kveixii why not?

isn't that what dominion is here for

@@ykson74 dominion dropped the ball on the whole, dinos in the wild thing.

Hope we get him back for dominon

it was not designed by a paleontologist, he was just a consultant on it. He said himself that the final one still didnt look as much like an allosaurus as he would have liked, but A- he liked it more than the Fallen Kingdom one, and B- he understood it was a movie franchise and they have to make design choices that are more eye-catching than accurate

@@screaminbloodymurder this is the interview by Klayton ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O1femKpzeIY.html

T_Rexcellence is a Musuem advocator, he's not a genuine Paleontologist--what makes his efforts acknowledgeable when Universal Executives ignored his advice and designs for B.A.B.R? Secondly, he mentions in the Klayton interview that he couldn't tell the Fallen Kingdom Allosaurus apart from a tyrannosaurid; you cannot respect a consultant's opinion when their expertise is amateur at best. Especially if their aligned with Klayton Fioriti, the piggyback of Paleontological and Jurassic Park knowledge.

I watched that

I mean it’s still a cool design. The jwe giga would be just that much better if it’s eyes were smaller.

@@Skyypixelgamer and didn't have hands on it's neck

Wow yeah, you just reminded me... Operation Genesis had Gigas that looked really close to the real deal. Huh. Curious

But there was blood in the battle between big eatie (T Rex) and pierce (kentrosaurus)

@@callmesantos9244 But it was more lowkey than let's say if it was live-action. Like there should be alot of blood stains on the ground considering how long Pierce and Big Eatie were being forced to fight.

Turok: the son of stone>>>> jw gay teenagers

The Battle at Big Rock model has been confirmed for the movie thanks to a Render

@@drchickengie2403 Cool !!! 🤩

@PlotArmorKnight They probablly got inspired by It, in order to try making something more accurate, I think.

They seem to reuse the design but the colors are darker and blacker

@@StillStupidStillDumb2834 Maybe is some kind of sexual dimorphism ... Or maybe the Dominion one is older than the one from Big Rock.

Me two man

Agreed

Yep

With that in mind, I wonder if the following could have been a decent compromise, to still allow Maisie to go through her existential crisis... Right when Owen and Claire refuse to press the button to release the dinosaurs, Maisie could walk up to the button, get their attention, and demand to know why they are not saving the dinosaurs. With her hand over the button, Maisie confesses that she does not know who she is, after the sudden revelation of her being a clone. She pleads that if the dinosaurs do not deserve to be alive, because they are clones, what would that mean for her: “I am a clone, like them.” In response, Owen and Claire have to reason with Maisie and let her know that having the dinosaurs die in this dilemma, to keep others safe, does not mean that her life is less important. This culminates in Claire saying, “You are still a human, like us”. Despite having other existential questions and still feeling strong empathy for the animals, Maisie tearfully covers the button and leaves it, as they try to comfort her. Poisonous gas is still leaking into the basement, and the two main dinosaurs bashing on the door are Rexy and the Spinosaurus originally grown on Isla Sorna (I felt Fallen Kingdom should have addressed where those dinosaurs were and incorporated them). As a callback to that scene in JP3, it looks like Rexy and the Spino are too weak, they seem to give up, and things go quiet, until they both suddenly ram the door again and finally break it. With only survival on their minds, the T-Rex and Spinosaurus ignore their would-be rivalry and escape together, with the other creatures following them out. Once they are out of the manor and run down Mills’ smugglers, the T-Rex and Spinosaurus take one last glance at each other, before parting ways then respectively going into the woods and the water.

@@markcobuzzi826 bravo just bravo! 👏 that was an amazing and better senerio than what we got in the movie!

Also why the hell didn't the allo just snatch the baby and run, like it would have done? like come on.

@@blobbertmcblob4888 my thoughts exactly, it was acting as if it didn't know what to do even though it was living in the wild long enough to know how to hunt

@@blobbertmcblob4888 y’all acting like dinosaurs had human working brains

@@blobbertmcblob4888 take a hungry wolf coming across a baby moose and the mother comes it’ll fight

@@chadzfr Ok, but the allo grabbed the baby BEFORE the mother had time to react AND the moose/wolf comparison doesn't work, because a wolf can't just grab a baby moose and run off with it, but the allosaurus was big enough to grab and eat that baby Nasutoceratops in one bite.

Ich fand die mehreren scorpius rexe schon scheiße

Yeah, the first three seasons were ok. Season 4 was trash with too few dinosaurs, too many robots and no real highlights tho. And yes, I know it's a show primarily targeted towards children but the increasing amount of cutesie stuff is pretty annoying in my opinion 😄

@@199512Lars and dont forget about kenlynn 😑

I personally felt that season 3 was the best

@@spinosaurusstriker none so far

A lot of people were annoyed at the 4th season while I personally enjoyed it. It really had a lot of element from the novels. A lot of folks forget that Jurassic Park is making a profit off these creatures.

I was bothered by the bolts not matching the crossbow. Oh and crossbows are incredibly hard to load and aim.

@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin damn straight, let alone trying to load two bolts into what a double loaded crossbow the little girl mentioned, they literally shoehorned in this weapon just to explain the two animated crossbow bolts for no reason.

Undisputed? Torvosaurus and Ceratosaurus would like to have a word with you.

@@tjarkschweizer Depends on what continent you're on. In North America where I'm from, Allosaurus dominated Torvosaurus in terms of size and it had a stronger bite than Ceratosaurus.

@@Pipkiablo Listen, I am not trying to downplay Allosaurus. I just don't think that it was dominating anything but rather that there was a delicate balance of three huge carnivores coexisting.

Lets hope Greg returns in Dominion.

@@SilverSnook7966 Breaking news: Middle-aged man kills Tyrannosaurus rex rampaging through crossbow

Who is greg

@@BathyalZone Even though that would be hilarious, unfortunately a crossbow cannot kill a T-rex outside of eye shots unless it’s a freaking Ballista.

@@SIMBA-tq2ch "You know, ... surviv'n."

It was also a female while the juveniles in fk where male. They're separated by the crests having a red color on the males and no red on the females.

Hobbs and Shaw was a good movie, especially when I never even seen any Fast and Furious movie

I choose to believe that the second shot was fired by Greg.

@@darthplagueis13 thats a good answer to the question Roaming my head the Last two years

They specifically mention it was a double crossbow

@@Rexz2000 that would explain it, but that isn’t a double crossbow she’s holding.

And with excellent accuracy. Crossbows are *heavy* and she doesn’t look strong enough to do that action!

aw man i had hope for a moment

*much :)

A Dominion render of the Big Rock Allosaurus was leaked along with a Dominion render of the Carnotaurus with a broken horn, so we'll be seeing them again.

@@cintronproductions9430 awesome

Darn it. It only appeared for like 2 minutes

IKR!!!

I'm guessing this is a joke, but the "big rock" part of the title refers to the location in which the short film takes place: the Big Rock campground/hiking trail in California.

Honestly, it's for the best. Even without the inaccuracies, the prologue's purpose was basically to set up a BS rivalry between the T.rex and Godzillanotosaurus.

Of course shitty filmmakers can't handle criticism

@@SIMBA-tq2ch Actually, I read somewhere that Trevorrow showed an early cut to fans of Jurassic Park and dinosaurs for criticisms, and made nessassary changes.

@@Bagelgeuse Like a clone contains the memories of the original host...

Possibly even bigger by just looking at the size of its head in the side shot compared to the humans. That guy is one ABSOLUTE UNIT.

The INGEN version of Allosaurus is supposed to be 12 metres long which is around the maximal size estimate for some real life Allosaurus specimen. But yeah, in that side shot in front of the fire it looks way too huge 😄

Besides Saurophaganax there is another dinosaur that could have been used as base for size of the Battle at Big Rock Allosaurus, the allosaurid Epanterias, which also could grow to sizes around 12 meters and was thought to be another species of the genus, called Allosaurus amplexus.

It went all the way to the corner of the globe, even

The Dinosauria series is only halfway done, I guess Rick will review that series sometime next year

Well the allosaurus in jurassic world did have some Saurophagnax DNA to make it large so you are sorta right

It's just a regular Allosaurus, albeit with the size of Saurophaganax and the head of A.jimmadseni. the boxy head isn't characteristic of any allosaur, and is just a random design choice.

Although nowadays saurophaganax is usually considered a valid genus

And this allosaurus would be too large regardless

13 meters is a bit of a stretch. More like 11.5-12 meters.

I think it has to do with the idea that information about the other islands isn't known to the general public and perhaps not even by some staff, much like how the kids didn't realize the ruins of Jurassic park was a thing, likely due to it and the other projects of ingen being kept heavily under wraps.

Speaking of Isla Sorna, I think Fallen Kingdom’s prologue could have easily addressed that, if it incorporated a plot point from the second novel’s ending. It could have been established that one of Masrani’s workers accidentally contaminated the island with the DX prion disease, which began to gradually kill off the carnivores and scavengers. Soon, the herbivorous dinosaur populations exploded and consumed almost all of Isla Sorna’s vegetation, causing its ecosystem to collapse. Isla Nublar has been the only sustainable island left for the dinosaurs, and now its volcano is about to erupt. That way, it could make more sense for Blue to be the last of her kind, Isla Sorna would clearly not be a viable place to put Nublar’s dinosaurs, and the Spinosaurus could even make an appearance (with an explanation that her being a piscivore helped her avoid eating prion-contaminated meat, in time for Masrani’s group to find her and bring her to Jurassic World).

Btw could you maybe review the documentary planet dinosaur
