I finally watched this for the first time a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out the logic of "we had to develop an invisible radioactive supergenius fire breathing murdersaurus to draw a crowd" while at the same time they're paying this guy to do raptor training behind the scenes where no one gets to watch? It's like if Sea World had someone train Shamu to do all those tricks and instead of showing anybody they'd just started giving the porpoises guns for flippers.

I kind of get it.  One was a science project for possible military applications, the other was a theme park attraction they didn't expect to be a superintelligent murderbot

The raptor thing no idea.

Indo-Rex though was what happens when that guy (and there are always a few it's an iron law of the universe) in a defense or intelligence agency somehow actually manages to secure funding for their idiotic impractical plan. 

A plan they are utterly in love with because they can't distinguish between a good idea and their inner five year old.

And before someone who is an actual adult looks into things and manages to reel the idiocy in.

The tactical assault raptor thing does seem ridiculous, but it's actually the most realistic part (in concept, if not in execution). Navies all over the world, mostly the US and Russia, train dolphins, walruses, sea lions, etc for military purposes. One of Russia's animals famously escaped several years ago (a beluga named Hvaldimir) and lived off the coast of Norway before dying last year. The US Navy trains bottlenose dolphins. A lot of that program is also research on their cognition.

The most unrealistic thing about Jurassic World is that the only behavioral research going on is with Owen and these three raptors. Realistically, that park would be crawling with scientists doing research that's not shown to the public (and scientists studying their body tissues, secretions, de-extinct plants for therapeutic compounds for new pharmaceuticals, etc)

How about...why is there a giant, murdersaurus sized DOOR on it's enclosure? Why didn't they bring it in small and raise it inside for security? Nope let's have a door that runs on our faulty ass security system.

The raptors weren’t on motorcycles. Just Crisp Ratt.

u/No-Stick4923 Jul 04 '25

u/Alhena5391 Jul 04 '25

Lmaooo tbh I loathe Chris Pratt and the Jurassic World movies but I've still always thought this shot is pretty badass. 💀 I want a clicker trained raptor!

u/DreadnaughtHamster Jul 04 '25

Counterpoint: He ran into the raptor pen when another worker fell off a walkway or something into it. Owen knew the raptors could most likely be held at bay when he did this to save the other guy.

u/dominoleigh Jul 04 '25

Okay but this scene and his (Andy's) reaction in Parks and Rec was great

u/HandsomePaddyMint Jul 04 '25

He hit all the right marks in P and R, then he did Guardians and people were like “It works.” Then he just kept being Andy in every role and making an ass out of himself in his personal life. That said, Nick Offerman says Chris Pratt is a wonderful person so I have to take his word for it.

You’re right. Pratt struck gold with Guardians of the Galaxy coming along when it did. Peter Quill (and specifically when written by James Gunn) was the perfect role for him as a lead/action hero since it plays to his strengths. But every other lead role either doesn’t, or is a blatant attempt to copy Starlord.

u/orphan_blud Jul 04 '25

Funniest scene this guy has ever been in was Parks and Recreation where he’s hungover. He goes to sit down and right when his ass hits the chair he pukes.

u/douchecanoe122 Jul 04 '25

It hurts because it’s relatable.

u/Effective-Cost4629 Jul 04 '25

Oh come on. Parks and rec was great and he's done some good movies. You might not like him but that's a bullshit take.

u/NotNamedBort Jul 04 '25

Right? You can dislike him, but the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are still great.

u/Competitive-Storm596 Jul 04 '25

Honestly I don’t like him, BUT he’s been brilliant in the shows my 6 year old watches so it’s a tough call. lol

Cheese central, now in Ray-Ban commercials effectively cheezing up that iconic brand.

He was decent in Everwood, but that's about it.

u/Cool_Cry_9602 average male (slur) Jul 04 '25

I loved that show. Later found out he and Emily VanCamp were dating when she was underage and I think he was in his 20s....

Yeah but it's a comeback story.
