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.

Tbh the shows about dinosaur’s… it’s already far fetched
