Have you gone to see “Jurassic World” yet?  Quite a few people have, as its opening was one of the biggest ever.  CBS News has good story that discusses the “science” of “Jurassic World” and the verdict is that it’s not very realistic.

    With “Jurassic World” hitting theaters Friday, paleontologists like James Kirkland are girding for the dumb questions they will they get from young dinosaur enthusiasts.

    Kirkland, the state paleontologist at the Utah Geological Survey who has been involved in the discovery of 20 dinosaurs including the Utahraptor, admits such Hollywood blockbusters could inspire a whole new generation of fossil lovers. Yet, he frets that this movie – much like its three predecessors – will be filled with so many factual errors as to spread misinformation.

    “You deal with these inaccuracies over and over every time you give a talk,” said Kirkland, who says he still must dispel falsehoods from earlier movies such as a belief that Tyrannosaurus rex had an awful sense of smell and could not see you unless you moved, and that raptors could talk to each other and open doors.

    “It gets really old after a while,” “If they wouldn’t do that, we wouldn’t have to deal with this. We could step to the more interesting issues like what we are discovering next.”

    He is not alone. Several paleontologist interviewed by CBS News described the movie – and the toys, books and other products inspired by it – as a disappointment and a “missed opportunity” to provide a scientifically sound storyline while ensuring fans are still entertained.
