The jurrasic world website states apatosaurus to be 75 feet long and 15 feet tall. So I-rex could have killed them one by one.
I rex was 9 meters tall and 40ish feet long(she want full grown!) so she was quite a bit shorter but a lot taller and would have NO problems biting their heads and neck, along with the fact that the sauropods didn't work together it is fully likey that the i-rex killed them all.

Exsanguination by a few claw swipes kinda breaks the suspension of disbelief. You have to see the movie to see how unbelievable this scene is.
Even if the sauropods were actually juveniles, subadults, or genetically modified to be much smaller than their RL counterparts, etc.
I'm sure I got quite a few scrapes and cuts due to accidents over the course of my lifetime, and I certainly didn't die of blood loss. Unless you think I'm a zombie that somehow still functions as if still alive...
@skorpiovenator: Indominus was designed to be a ~50 foot long creature, according to the movie(probably the full size it would reach if things went according to plan). No height figure was given. I don't know where you got 9 meters from.

Broly, the people who see this movie have KIDS in them. The creators of jurrassic world aren't gonna let them see a whole herd of snimals torn to pieces, and slaughterd, or beheaded. That would emotionally scare people, this is NOT a horror movie. After the final fight between both rexes neither had a a lot of blood or scares for the same reason,!they didn't show the ankylosauru death for the same reasons too.

I never said anything about them being torn apart(except where I stated that I doubt that Indominus actually had the physical capability to do so). Just sprinkle some blood into them to suggest the presence of believable exsanguination wounds. It becomes more believable and still keeps the same rating as the other parts of the movie. Although still not completely believable, the ankylosaur put up a fight and the tyrannosaur was able to hold it's own for a while, after all. In that part where the Indominus removed the tracker, for some reason that part had more dinosaur blood in it than the dead apatosaurs scene. And that wound was even smaller than the ones the apatosaurs had. Also that final battle had more blood in it than the apatosaurs as well. Or just add bite marks at parts of the neck near the head. I think the best possible option would be to just replace them with something like medium-sized (something around ~1-4 tonne) hadrosaurs in that scene. Thus this issue would be completely dodged. |

What makes you say the sauropods didn't put up a fight? And the t.rex/I-rex dosent have more blood, it was actually less.

I'm just thinking that if a ~6-tonne ankylosaur was able to give it trouble and a ~9-tonne tyrannosaur was able to hold it's own for a moment, a ~20-tonne beast would be able to at least best it in a brawl. Well, the tyrannosaur vs Indominus fight kinda looked bloodier than the dead apatosaurs scene to me. I don't know, probably the lighting or that a certain patch of blood of a certain size looks proportionally larger on a tyrannosaur than it looks on an apatosaur. Oh well, I'll just draw an apatosaur or a brachiosaur killing the Indominus and post it on dA. |

I don't find I. rex unrealistic to be honest, it resembles Carcharodontosaurids. Superficially. |

Carcharodontosaurid and abelisaurid.

In terms of design or athleticism?  |

From what I've seen it combines spinosauresque arms with a carcharodontosaur's overall built and (somewhat exagerated, depending on the source) and a few features of the skull and the scaly skin of an abelisaur (the latter specifically taken from Carnotaurus). The skull bears a degree of reminiscence to both abelisaurs and carnosaurs, but somehow the proportions andd tooth spacing all seem off. And, apparently, the ridiculous bloodlust of their Achillobator-abominations.
The closest real life analogy would be carcharodontosaurs, but not because they were particularly similar to the monster shown in the film, just because there aren't that many lineages of giant theropods.
A real carcharodontosaur would have been more interesting to see imo. Using this thing to begin with made it look as if there were no real theropods left to use for the role, which is just BS. Not a single carnosaur has been shown on JP so far, despite the vast majority of giant 12m+ theropods being carnosaurs (actually I know only 3 or 4 that aren't.

Only the bumps in the side of the neck resemble the skin of Carnotaurus, what's on the upper part of the neck, back and tail look like good ol crocodile osteoderms.
