It could have been something natural like

Mosasaurus



or a

Liopleurodon



maybe even a

Tylosaurus

Looked like a Liopleurodon.

Still one of my favorite dino clips is the first 40 seconds of this. Just wasn't expecting that.

If this promotional brochure is legit then it's a Mosasaurus. Though in the preview it looks twice the size of any of the actual fossils.

And how can you be sure of that, exactly? Spielberg isn't the director, he's one of a few producers attached to the film. They're emphasizing his name to get people's attention. Just as they smeared Christopher Nolan's name all over Man of Steel, but you know in actuality he had little to do with it. The director is a guy named Colin Trevorrow whose done a couple of excellent features, the most recent one being one of my favorite sci fis in recent years. Jw is a big step up for him but there is a lot of fresh talent behind this film, so we really have no idea how it could turn out, or what spin it could take on the Jurassic universe.

But go ahead and spew your mindless babble. Nothings more dumb than someone that just spouts without taking a moment to actually educate themselves on the matter at hand.

You know I would be down more if the movie encompassed a ship out at sea being tormented by one or more of these beasts. They are pretty cool dinosaurs that have been underused in movies.

Awesome, thanks. Used to be a huge dinosaur nerd as a kid (most kids probably were at one point) but never really looked into sea creatures.

I was referring more to the T. rex mashup. Hope they don't ruin it, I get they are going for wow factor but aren't there a ton of badass Dino's as is?

If the rest of the cast of Parks and Rec run the park and Jessica Chastain shows up and makes out with Bryce Dallas Howard, who i m pretty sure are the same person in real life, the movie might be OK.

Instead it looks like we get generic CGI, bad dialogue, child actors, and a silly wtf motor bike raptor scene...so nothing different from the other lame sequels.

If you look at it they kind of burned through the real bad a$$ dinos in the first three

First movie - Raptors and T-Rex.

Second movie - Raptors and T-Rex's and flying dinosaurs

Third movie - Raptors and Spinosaur (largest carnivore of all time)

So I guess a genetic freak is where they have to go.

Lost World and JP3 were still more entertaining than most if not all big blockbusters today. The whole JP universe is just too much fun not to enjoy, even if the film itself stands half as tall as the original. That's why even the early skeptics will sit pay the entrance to go watch this.

Interesting tidbit..Apparently a couple of the early trailer scenes were purely fabricated for the trailer, and won't be in the film. Some CGI heavy bits shown will be replaced with practical props/sets on the actual film. That tells you just how much stock you need to put into the visuals of a trailer half a year ahead of release.

Regarding the mosasaurus or liopleurodon, I think you need to first of all assume that they've greatly scaled-up whatever it is they're depicting. It's got a mouth the size of a great white shark (about 4 meters)? Neither a mosasaurus or liopleurodon comes close to that.






But hey, if you're getting into genetic engineering, I suppose you could make any dinosaur (or in this case, aquatic reptile) as large as you want. That how genetic engineering works, right?

Flying dinosaurs played a bigger role in the third movie.

The T-Rex was given a whole new treatment, growing up most of the pictures had them straight up almost like the old godzilla monster. In this movie they fully embraced the bird orientation.
There's no such thing as a Brontosaurus.
