I wish dinosaurs were still alive, to see if they are as this brutal

It's a good thing it's impossible to bring them back, DNA can only survive at a maximum of 6.8 million years under ideal conditions. Eventually we will have the capacity to probably alter the DNA of living reptiles and birds(modern dinosaurs) and create a classic dinosaur mimic. That'll take a long time though. Still waiting for them to resurrect the Elephant/Mammoth hybrid.

Did anyone else think that maybe the younger kid (his name was Gray) is autistic?

Yep. I picked up on it immediately after his character was introduced:

Quote:

KAREN
Boys, let's do this!

In his room, GRAY MITCHELL is looking at slides of dinosaurs on his Viewmaster toy. He sees an Allosaurus fighting a Triceratops, then two Ray Harryhausen-animated Ceratosaurs fighting in a scene from The Animal World. His room is filled with dinosaur and monster movie toys and posters. There's a knock on the door.

KAREN
(through the door)
Gray?

She enters.

KAREN
Honey, what're you doin'? What is this here?

She takes the Viewmaster away from him.

KAREN
Let's go. Come on, honey your flight's in two hours.

She begins counting his things.

GRAY
Dane County Airport is thirty six minutes away, sixty with traffic.

Just the way he said that - almost savant-like, automatic - tipped it off to me. And then there was:

Quote:

Gray rushes over to the Mr. DNA Show, where visitors are quizzed about genetics. After a quick scan of the screen he immediately begins pushing buttons and reciting the answers.

GRAY
Cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine. The same four things in everything that ever lived.

Reminds me of when I completed a wolf allele matrix in a competition in the same amount of time it took the other person to get two squares done. Automatic, without any hesitation or faltering.
Also (and I loved this one):
Couldn't find the script for it, but it was when Zach was oggling those girls at the Gyrosphere exhibit, and Gray asked him something like "Do you really think anything's gonna happen by just staring at them?" and the girls just laugh at Zach and Gray; Zach then says sarcastically "Thanks," and Gray just says "You're welcome!" without understanding it.

and he wanted to know the size of the island in pounds.

Lol, that was pretty awesome.

So much of that is just like me when I was his age.

Same here, right down to the dinosaur fascination.

I was a rule-follower, especially when I was younger.

Lol, me too - to the point where bathroom doors that read "this door must remain closed at all times" confused the hell out of me.

My special interest wasn't dinosaurs, but if it had been, I would have known all their names and how to correctly pronounce them.

My special interest was dinosaurs as a kid, and I could pronounce all of their names (I think I could pronounce Ankylosaurus at age four, although I pronounced it "An-kee-loh-sar-us"). I also studied prehistoric hominids quite a bit, and could pronounce Australopithecus at about age 11 (and I was studying college-level books about it for my young scholars program).

Apparently, Gray (the younger kid) IS autistic! Originally, his autism was specifically mentioned in the movie, but they cut that line. He still has all the autistic traits that were written for him, and they're pretty accurate IMO, it just isn't specifically mentioned.

Here is an article that talks about it.

I don't understand why movie and TV makers think they can't ever mention that anyone is autistic, even when they're obviously written that way? Instead, they always want to say the character is 'a little odd.' I think it would have been great to have an openly autistic character with accurately-portrayed traits in a huge movie like this. All they had to do was mention one time that he is autistic, and it would have been so great for autism support. It's still cool, though.

Yeah, I am a bit disappointed about that too. Autism's become WAY too big of a white elephant in the room for American culture. It's like even the people without the condition are ashamed of it...pity, really. :roll:

It would have added a lot with the movies character development if it was declared considering there is a lack of it.

I liked it, although I don't entirely understand how it made over a billion and a half at the box office.

A nice cameo appearance from Rexy from the first film at the end.
