Please do not continue this plot arc.
I wouldn't be surprised if a young teenager came up with this idea "Yeah! That would be AWESOME!"
Just stop. You can do better. Much better.
The cold winds are rising. Winter is coming.

shareWeaponizing most any non-sentient animals is a stupid plot point! (Except rockets on penguins, I'm okay with that.) While we do have certain limited usage of animals in present day "warfare"*, it's pretty small stuff compared to a full movie involving dino-warfare. I mean, dinos are unpredictable, what if something goes wrong...?!

But it's so linear in a way.. You really can see where the movie will go once they introduced that plot.
Idk I think Jurassic series as a whole have run their course. The theme park disaster island bit is pretty much repeated over n over.
Oh yea? Well I've also heard that Taking dinosaurs off this island is the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas, and, uh, I?m gonna be there when you learn that.

Dolphins have been weaponised IRL. Elephants too. Like what that guy said about having raptors in Tora Bora. Give them an article of Bin Laden's clothing and they'd find him and kill him years earlier.
shareI don't think they are thinking about 'weaponizing' I think they were talking about having the raptors like 'war/service dogs'-sniffers, scouts, trackers etc. The thing is dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years. Now maybe velociraptors can be 'taught/trained' to act the same way & to interact with their handlers, but obviously it would probably take decades to reach that point.
Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?
Exactly, and Hoskins was impatient, which is why he is such an idiot for wanting a field test so soon, when Owen is still having trouble with them despite some progress.
I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?

And let's not forget the military K-9s, cavalry horses, Hannibal's elephants.

It's really interesting reading posts that actually try to justify this nonsense.
shareBut doesn't that prove conclusively that a fair percentage of people believe that weaponizing dinos is plausible, looking at other instances.
Remember, the issue is, would there be some people like Hoskins who would believe it? It's not a question of weather weaponizing dinos actually is a good idea, but weather or not some people would think that. And some people will definitely point to the Navy's dolphins, etc.
The movie expresses an emphatic rejection of that proposal, through Owen in particular, and shows the idea to be a failure.
So what's your point exactly?

Not that InGen isn't going to keep trying, rather like Weyland-Yutani, considering the InGen contractor escaped at the end with Wu and all his research in dinosaur hybridization.
But then, this is the same company that thought dusting off Hammond's (rightfully) abandoned San Diego amphitheater idea and bringing fully-grown dinosaurs to the mainland was a good idea. So it seems that without Hammond at the helm, InGen is prone to really stupid business decisions.
I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?
Eh, I am just astonished that nobody has brought Biosyn back into the storyline. They were the primary Antagonists in the books, and they could have significantly improved the film by bringing them back into the story.
"From a phylogenetic perspective, we are all fish!"
Biosyn went out the window when they turned InGen into villains in the second movie.
I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?
While it's true they removed them from the film, unlike the book, Ingen weren't necessarily villains. Antagonists, yes, but most of that was because of the fact that Hammonds nephew was an idiot.
"From a phylogenetic perspective, we are all fish!"
Yeah, but as of this film, they've continued vilifying InGen, and even in Jurassic Park III there were some suggestions (which went nowhere) that they were up to no good. Maybe in the fifth film they'll reintroduce Biosyn as a rival to InGen, though, as you suggested.

Rewatching it again... "promote only the loyal bloodlines"...
WHAT??? Seriously. That's why I really don't like this movie. So f*xking stupid.
I only watch it because I love dinos and the idea. It took 6 people to write this garbage.
It needed some serious improvements. They should have got Michael Crichton to help write it.

@enantrejo I was wondering why Michael Crichton wasn't involved in this, then I looked him up and found out that he died in 2008. RIP.
shareactually the US gov't was training dolphins to plant bombs on ships etc so not too far-fetched. But yeah, making dinosaurs soldiers sounds like an idea from a 10-year old boy -- but then again that's the target audience of Jurassic World isn't it?
