The upcoming blockbuster "Jurassic World" has almost a month remaining prior to its much awaited premiere. But then recently, there were talks saying that the film's dinosaur concept has infuriated some paleontologists.
Some dinosaur experts were maddened by the new "Jurassic World" film, branding it "a dumb monster movie," as per Daily Mail.
The reason behind the experts' frustration is its failure to incorporate recent discoveries such as feathers in dinosaurs such as the Tyrannosaurus rex and velociraptors.
The dinosaurs included in Steven Spielberg's 1993 "Jurassic Park" accurately display the giant lizards based on the findings in the 90s.
The original "Jurassic Park" film, as well as its sequels "The Lord World: Jurassic Park" in 1997 and "Jurassic Park III" in 2007 have shown the reptilian creatures as giant lizards with leathery skins, though many of them had feathers.
"Jurassic World" director Colin Trevorrow has recognized scientific developments on dinosaurs, but still opted not to incorporate them on the upcoming blockbuster, as per The Sunday Times.
For the director, "Jurassic World" is a science-fiction film and not a documentary, a reason for its scientific inaccuracy.
Trevorrow's take on depicting scaly and fearsome dinosaurs, instead of having fluffy feathers, received some reactions from paleontologists.
Southampton Paleontologist Darren Nash said that Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" featured "active, social, bird-like animals" with vibrant bodies and they were not "simply roaring."
According to University of Texas Professor Julia Clarke, it is ill-fated that the concept of "scaly and aggressive" dinosaurs will be instilled to young people who will watch the movie.
The upcoming film stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, BD Wong, Irrfan Khan, Brian Tee, Omar Sy, and Vincent D'Onofrio.
"Jurassic World" is slated to premiere in theaters on June 12.
