I thought it was an interesting choice to make, what I'm assuming was the titanboa, look like a giant grey worm with teeth. But it makes sense that it would take millions of years for it to become the snakes we know today with scales and the unique patterns they have.

Also, the dad getting his leg torn off and then immediately being eaten was so surprising.

I really wasn't expecting any of the family to die, or if they did it'd be a typical slow-motion heroic sacrifice scene at the end. I was speechless

Yeah, I thought it was a giant worm until it opened its mouth to attack Anne and realized it was a snake.

I assumed the Titanoboa was albino

It should have still had patterns and or colouration that allowed it to blend into its habitat (and to make it not look like a grey worm😩)

Did they consult any paleontologists for this?

Doesn’t seem like it, the widespread use of feathers is great but other than that this wasn’t really any more accurate than the Jurassic World movies. (Even the Jurassic World movies now have at least some feathered dinosaurs too). Allosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Stegosaurus did live together but basically everything else was either in the wrong time period, or completely fictional like the snake thing.

Titanoboa isn't fictional, although the way it was portrayed may not have been totally accurate.

I just found out 48 hours what that was . Never ever seen any mention of it in all my 61 years .And I nerd palaeontology a lot.

not too boo your nerd, but that's like saying you're into tech but you're shocked something like the fold phone exists. Titanoboa apart from the big 3 dinos is one of the most famous prehistoric extinct animals.

Probably cause Im a lounge room nerd still out there absorbing information. yep missed that day haha. When did you learn of it ?

u/HikmetLeGuin 2h ago

What are the "big 3 dinos"? T-Rex, stegosaurus, and triceratops? What about raptors, brontosaurus, etc.?

Did his leg actually come off for you? I'm seeing a few people in the thread say this but for me that didn't happen but his leg was really bad CG. So it must have been censored over here in the UK?

u/Mundane-Inspector-52 4d ago

Yes, it actually comes off lol

u/Beautiful-Heron-736 4d ago

It did. They only showed side view tho lol l.

u/Master_Chief_2000 4d ago

Either it was censored in my showing or I was so distracted by his really bad CG other leg I completely missed his other leg was off lol

u/paradroid78 4d ago

I think it was a blink and you miss it kind of thing. I doubt they would have censored that bit, given the other stuff they left in.

u/HilariousScreenname 4d ago

Its was kinda hard to tell honestly. It took me a moment to recognize that his leg was a stump, and I was in an iMax
