Ranking All The Dinosaurs In "Jurassic World"

Mosasaurus, Triceratops, and Velociraptors — oh my!

Gallimimus

Gallimimus

Parks come and parks go, but the Gallimimus is always just running, running, running. Some day, the world — Jurassic and otherwise — will end, but the Gallimimus will keep going. But where are they running to? They're on a goddamn island.

Stegosaurus

Stegosaurus

Stegosaurus does some hanging out by the river and some lumbering through the field, content in the knowledge that Jurassic World is concerned with carnage, not herbivores.

Apatosaurus

Apatosaurus

The original 1993 Jurassic Park was an early example of what computer effects could do, though a lot of that was in combination with animatronics. It's been 20-plus years since then, in the real world and the one in the franchise, and almost all the dino creations in 2015's Jurassic World creations are computer generated. Some — like the film's Big Bad, the Indominus rex — feel solid and substantive, and others, like the Stegosaurus, tend to come across more like weightless set dressing.

The notable exception is a wounded Apatosaurus who gets an animatronic close-up, all the better to teach a painfully stereotypically uptight workaholic (Bryce Dallas Howard) that dinosaurs have feelings too. But giving the animal humanoid, Ryan Gosling-blue eyes feels like overkill, especially in contrast to Indominus' intensely reptilian ones.

Ankylosaurus

Ankylosaurus

While quickly upstaged by the Indominus rex, the heavily armored Ankylosaurus does get a sequence in which it uses its club tail to rocket the movie's obligatory children around in a gyrosphere like some giant, dino-powered pinball machine.
