Lore “Hey that’s not so bad- SWEET JESUS”

A shot is set up in such a way where it looks fine from one angle, then they reveal another that makes it look way worse

Infinity War - Thanos reveals Nebula hanging up imprisoned, then when the camera follows Gamora going to her we see that mechanical components are stretched out and her head and body are in pieces.

Breaking Bad - Hector sets off a bomb in a murder suicide against Gus but he seems to walk out fine impossibly, then the camera moves to in front of him and you see half of his face is just not there anymore.

Well you see, it's a summer blockbuster movie film about living dinosaurs eating people made with frog dna mixed with mosquito dna somehow preserved in amber, so I wouldn't take it too seriously.

I mean if the arm is where you draw the line.

"A T-Rex doesn't want to be fed... He wants to hunt." 

Spielberg already planted the idea within the dialogue that these are wild creatures being forced into unnaturally domestic circumstances. They talk like repressing the natural desires of predators will backfire, and it does. 

So by the time humans start running around their turf, we're primed to believe (in this very unbelievable scenario) that these dinosaurs are having a bit of feeding frenzy/blood sport moment. This is especially true of the raptors, who are declared by the script to be smart enough to create their own mental enrichment within captivity (eg. testing the fence). 

So once they're introduced to the danger, it's pretty easy to believe they've gone full house cat and are mostly killing for fun, not food.

Theres the whole T-Rex enclosure turns into a cliff thing too. Spielberg just wanted cool scenes 🤷 realism be damned

It was the dinosaurs that were made with frog DNA, not the people
