Eight scenes from Jurassic World that are totally unrealistic (spoiler alert)
The film is not based on any kind of reality, but even so there are aspects of the story that just don't add up
A woman outrunning a T. rex is one thing. But a woman outrunning a dinosaur in four-inch heels? Come on.
Here are a few examples, including some spoilers.
1. The special bond betwixt man and beast
Our hero Owen (played by Chris Pratt) spends the first half of the movie serving up foreshadowing on a platter. People can’t control wild animals, he explains again and again. Even as an accomplished velociraptor-whisperer, he could have been torn to pieces by the dinos who found him unexpectedly trapped in their enclosure, setting off an exciting set piece with his narrow escape through a closing gate. So when it turns out that Indominus rex has raptor DNA and she can communicate with the inadequately trained raptors, it appears that all of Owen’s prophesies are coming true; he even admits that the raptors have found a new alpha. So ... why do they suddenly change their minds and protect Owen against the Indominus? Who knew raptors were so fickle? Or loyal? The scientists must have spliced some golden retriever DNA into their genetic make-up.
2. Bryce Dallas Howard’s high heels
Seriously, those shoes. The way Claire sprints from dinosaurs in spike heels - without falling, sinking in the grass or twisting an ankle - has become a flashpoint for debate. Howard still hasn’t provided a reasonable explanation for her character’s behaviour; she told Variety that she saw the terrain and preferred to keep the shoes on. But were flats not an option? Wouldn’t a control freak like Claire have at least three extra pairs of shoes under her desk? Or a change of clothes - white linen isn’t exactly ideal for jungle visitors, though her outfit somehow remained spotless for quite a while.
