@ninafromcanadaeh I suppose at the end of the day, it really boils down to being that my irk is ultimately over the fact that it wasn't a real dinosaur or anything visually close to one that we typically know of.
Although, I had no problem with the Indominus rex from the 2nd to last movie, (which was also a hybrid) because it still looked like a classic dinosaur.
The Distortus rex however just did not look like a dinosaur to me at all. It looked like the Rancor from early Star Wars if anything. And it had very long reaching human-like arms from what I remember.
I guess I'm a dino snob. Or a dino purist. None of the new generation JP movies really moved me like the original 3 did. The original Jurassic Park is still my favorite. And my favorite dinosaur is the T-Rex.
Did you know that in the original Jurassic Park they used an animatronic T Rex? It was the 90s, but god damn...it looked so effing real even back then. Way better than any CGI that followed.
Compared to the the CGI in the later movies, no dinosaurs they did in CGI ever held a candle to the old Special FX animatronic ones. I wish more movies in general still used real practical effects animatronics and puppetry.
