The scenes in rebirth make no sense
Tried watching as it came out on Netflix, and these scenes made absolutely no sense to the point I had to turn it off..
They are in a small boat driving beside a mosasaurus in open water that is 3x the size of the boat and all the characters are nonchalant.. like there is no threat whatsoever. They queue up some uplifting music like it’s a fishing trip or something. This would be a terrifying scene in any other Jurassic movie.
Now fast forward 5 minutes and 4 spinos and the mosasaurus are surrounding the boat. And most of the individuals in the scene leave the interior of the boat and go directly to the outside rails of the boat to go look at them. They’re pointing at them like it’s a sight seeing trip and one guy even mentioned that they help them hunt….this is no where near the level of urgency there should be for the situation they’re in
Then they crash on shore and one guys looking at baby pictures, another girl is trying to pull a 500lb haul up a wet beach, and another guy is just laying in the sand. They’re making some small talk while the viewer is fully aware that ~4 spinos are probably still following them…. HELLO the dire situation isn’t over yet go run and hide.. ofc someone has to get eaten for the characters to start worrying
Then, after two of their crewmates die horrible excruciatingly painful deaths, they get to a cove and the scene is uplifting again with 0 trauma and there’s a comic relief joke about old people
The conflict ends with “now let’s go find this village!” I had to turn it off at this point lol
Was it just me or were the emotional character states completely inconsistent with the severity of the situations? Like it required someone to get chewed in half or knocked off board for the characters to take the imminent threat seriously.
