Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photos: Everett Collection, MarVista Entertainment, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures When most modern moviegoers think of dinosaurs on the big screen, they tend to conjure a few key images: A tyrannosaurus pacing out of a tropical thunderstorm, head swiveling like a bird to track carloads of fleeing, screaming humans; a brachiosaur rearing, its long neck plucking at the canopy of a tree; two scaly, evil-eyed velociraptors sneaking into an industrial kitchen, barking and squabbling.
It might be easy to dismiss questions of paleontological accuracy as specialist griping. But one reason the dinosaurs ofmade such an impact on regular moviegoers, too, is because they were so visually novel and, yes, rigorous:They may not be note-perfect, but they’re convincing and compelling, hitting with the force of revelation. Now, increasingly in movies — including some of’s own grand-sequels — these animals feel like placeholders.
