The only reason I saw this movie was because of I thought the IMDB movie cover looked really good, specially that big Trex in the background. I was so disappointing to see the movie did not even have a single scene with a Trex.
Does any one else feel ripped off by the false advertising???
Never judge a DVD by its cover.
shareYes, it is indeed an example of blatant false advertising. This movie is just terrible.
shareNo. Rather, I am happy they didn't actually try to go further than selling a hidden dinosaur colony on a mainland occupied by people by insulting me further and trying to shoehorn what would have to have been the most wanderlust-averse T-Rex in history into the area.
I can't even say that's a T-Rex on the cover. Plenty of other dinosaurs resemble T-Rexes. Including raptors, allosaurus, etc. It could have been any of them.
Raptors resemble T-rex? What...? The cover features some sort of massive tyrannisaurid quite predominantly that in no way, shape or form can be mistaken for a raptor. The small raptor-like dinos on the cover, sure...
shareI think you're talking about different covers. The original release has a moody green and black cover that suggests the shape of a dinosaur. You're probably referring to the all-out Photoshop-attack cover which is misleading and harms the film beyond getting the DVD sale.
shareDifferent covers or not it still doesn't change the fact he said raptors resemble T-rexes, lol.
shareTrue!
shareYes they do.
They're both theropods. Large rear legs which they walk on and much smaller forearms, which they don't. Long tail. Lots of sharp teeth.
Everything is just a matter of size.
It's not what he meant, and you know it. He was specifically referring to large theropods, which the movie poster showed, not just any theropods. Saying a raptor resembles a T-rex is like saying a gecko resembles a crocodile just because they're reptilian, have four legs and a long tail etc. No one would say that. The cover--at the time--clearly showed a large theropod, and saying a raptor resembles it is completely wrong.
He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
