00:45:46 Jurassic Discussions.

Welcome to a new segment of the Jurassic Minutes podcast where we have a look at a scene in one of the films and discuss possible alternatives to that scene. Did certain characters need to do that or should they have been there, or in the case of this discussion, would a scene be better if a particular dinosaur wasn’t there. 

 

 We’ve just finished the Gyrosphere attach sequence from Jurassic world on our weekly show The Jurassic World minute. And while we discussed the attack on the whole compared to the other mid movie action scenes from the previous films, there was one big hybrid on screen when it possibly didn’t need to be. 

 

 Okay so a brief recap of the scene. The boys venture into a restricted area where Ankylosaurs are grazing in the jungle. These animals have been fenced off for some reason, possibly too dangerous to be in the valley because of thier club tails. The indominus shows up to attack the animals and the gyrosphere is cought in the middle before the predator turns its attention on the boys in the hamster ball and they barely make it out alive.

 

 So let’s ask some questions. 

-did the indominus need to be in this scene?

 We’ve seen it kill already. It’s going to kill a lot more. For as brief as this scene is I don’t think it needed to be there. 

 

-would a herbivore attack been just as good?

 So sadly we’ve only seen one herbivore attack in the previous films, that being the stegosaur creek bed sequence in Tlw. We know these animals are dangerous, why won’t universal show us that on screen?

 

-so how would this scene of payed out if the indominus was removed?

 So the boys still go into the jungle, the crazing ankylosaurs are spooked. Maybe there’s a baby with them the staff don’t know about. And they attack the gyrosphere with thier clubbed tails. One impact causes the door to break off and the boys escape out into the field as we see in the film. The waterfall scene only exists to get them out of danger, id cut it unless there was a reason to get them wet. A tracker in the wrist bands for instance and the water destroys it so owen can’t track them later. 

 We would then get owen and Claire arrive and see the damaged gyrosphere, we would still see footprints leading off into the jungle and the believability of thier escape would better.
