Forget when I were impressed by the YouTube views:  The view count it got in 24 hours on Facebook is higher than what it right now has on YouTube! |

The point about science fiction is to create something that has logical consistency within its own premises. E.g. assuming mesozoic DNA could survive for that long and be recovered, the rest should be intended to be realistic. And I think that originally it was intended to be (the oversized Velociraptors aside, that being just a dumb taxonomic mistake), but obviously it doesn’t work that way any more. It has "fiction" in its name, and fiction is defined as an "invention or fabrication as opposed to fact". |

And it has science in it’s name. I already explained the fiction part I think. Of course that fiction part can be more or less developed (in some it’s objectively closer to fantasy), and not everything has to be scientifically credible, but there’s still science in it.

You want to know what else is science fiction? Star Wars! There are a lot of scientific aspects in there (when it comes to technology such as the lightsabers, droids, etc), but is it necessarily scientifically-accurate? No, it just utilizes scientific concepts and takes them to a new level (think droids from Star Wars; we are nowhere close to creating sentient and efficient battle robots that can be dispatched in large numbers, yet that is one of the primary aspects that makes Star Wars so cool).
Just don't go into the movie expecting that it be 100% scientifically-accurate and that all the creatures will be proportioned and sized correctly (they still didn't even get the raptors right! But that is likely to keep with tradition), otherwise you are going to be severely disappointed and might have the movie ruined for you (overthinking anything that happens in any film can lead to the movie being soured for you)

Well, firstly Star Wars does actually have a lot of fantasy in it, what do you think I was referring to in my post? Secondly that currently we don’t have artificial intelligence comparable to sentients doesn’t mean it’s not scientifically possible (our own brains aren’t so different from computers after all, it’S all just a matter of complexity). That’s the science aspect.
The concepts of hyperspace, artificial gravity and lightsabers (and of course the force) are the fictional parts (and many of those droids are plain comedy), strongly bordering on fantasy. But the rest is supposed to work out within those assumptions.

Just answer me this, but are you going to go into the theater and analyze every aspect of the film, or are you going in with an open mind and just accept what you see whether or not it is scientifically-accurate and remember that it is just a fictional movie intended for entertainment?
It just seems to me like many of you guys will not enjoy it unless it is scientifically-accurate; just judging from what you guys are saying about its TRAILER.

The official website is open.
jurassicworld.com
It provides many information about the theme park like if it was a real park and new information will be added with time.

Hmm, at least it seems otherwise normal-looking for a theropod (the opposable pollices aside obviously) in lieu of a ridiculous-looking, hideous, deformed monstrosity of some sorts. |

Yes, that's why I'm not that disturbed that much by this artificial species, it's not an asylum production creature. BTW, theropod, Mosasaurus 14 metric tons : www.jurassicworld.com/park-map/mosasaurus-feeding-show/Perspective is a *****, especially in few shots... |

Not sure if I can even watch this film when it comes out in theaters, my father does have plans for me to take an SAT prep school (run by my aunt) during the summer (understandably).

Yet, you can't expect them to get every size with dead-on accuracy in Jurassic World There's a big difference between "not dead on" and 75% too large in linear terms. Grey: somehow I doubt that was derived by an accurate scientific method, it's probably a guess. Anx even if not, they may have scaled the model too big later, during compositing. I've already said that perspective isn't the problem when you are dealing with two things that are aligned in the same plane. |
