I have an entire rant devoted to that scene hahaMechaGoji Bro7503 wrote:Spoiler:I still can't fathom why those mercenary guys would decide to look for the Indominus skeleton at night, while it was storming. I mean weren't they on the island for a while doing whatever? Surely they made it to the island during the day and someone looked in the Mosasuar's pen.
Spoiler:
The opening scene would've been amazing if the characters in it were not so brain dead.
Is the island under guard somehow? I don't remember them saying so, so why do this mission at night in a rainstorm when you know there are dangerous predators that live on the island and likely hunt at night?
How is the Mosasaur even still alive?
One of the men in the submersible says it probably starved to death, and I'd be inclined to agree if it's three years (or even a year) after Jurassic World.
But for safety's sake on both counts of land and water predators, would't you go there during the daytime? Or, if you have to go at night, at least do some recon beforehand so you can determine if the Mosasaur is actually dead?
Like, before sending people in there? It's fucking enormous, it's not like it can hide. You can keep watch for the land predators much easier in daylight as opposed to a nighttime rainstorm. if not, figure out a way to wirelessly hack the gate controls from 50 feet up, safe from a T. Rex.
Also how does the Mosasaur even get out? How do the men in the submersible get in? To/from the ocean? The Mosasaur's lagoon is NOT connected to the ocean.
I'm not bullshitting, google Jurassic World Map and see for yourself. That's a massive continuity error for the sake of an action sequence.
Why can the guys in the helicopter not communicate with the guy on the ground through his headset?
Wouldn't they make sure to be able to communicate when going to this island without having to shout to each other? Because that's a very bad idea! (Jurassic Park 3 bullhorn anyone?)
The scene was effectively shot and did succeed in making Rexy scary again, but applying any critical thinking to the way it's written (which I did in the theater after the scene was over, I'm a writer so sue me) makes it a lot less effective
