Well, the T-Rex had feathers for one. Actually, most of the dinosaurs in that movie had feathers. And raptors were tiny little creatures. Still, you have bones

Well, the T-Rex had feathers for one. Actually, most of the dinosaurs in that movie had feathers. And raptors were tiny little creatures. Still, you have bones to try to reconstruct a dinosaur. It's just a painting of what any old moon or planet could look like. It's like trying to draw a police sketch based on the description of "it was a person." It's actually worse than that because we do kind of know generally what people look like having billions of examples of them to draw from.
- mc32 11y agoTrue but it was a... movie... made for entertainment value --and as a nice side effect captured the imagination of millions of children (as well as adults'). So, yeah ,they got known details wrong and in retrospect, as we currently understand, got further things wrong... But again, it was a "blockbuster" movie, not a high brow film or a scientific study. Thus, I don't have anything against how they portrayed the beasts. I think it's understood they took visual license and incorporated sci-fi.
