Two things I noticed about JP that I don't see with other big blockbusters like it:
Both the dialogue and lighting feel NATURAL. Everything looks and sounds REAL, almost like I could step into the screen.
They did a tremendous job in trying to make the concept of a dinosaur island in real life look seamless.
>everything has a tactile feel, the buttons, the l.e.d.s of the devices, those night vision goggles etc
I can just summon the image of Muldoon unfolding the stock on his SPAS-12, or Ellie flicking switches and pressing buttons to get the power back on in my brain at any time. Such vivid imagery in this film.

More than the colors, the materials match. Grant and Sattler wear rugged practical clothes, Malcolm a wholly impractical yet magnanimous leather ensemble, Gennaro an awkward hybrid of suit and shorts, etc.
“Hacker Girl” doesn’t hack during the entire movie. She navigates a file system. Something thats reasonable for her character to be able to do and also something unique to her character given the time period. A little bit of background plus a little bit of luck. Kids will also call themselves “hackers” for being able to do the most basic things. She probably learned that system through some tech program at school.
The scene is unfairly hated on by people who don’t realize that computers really were like that in the early 90s.
Just think of this scene. If this was made today this scene would just exist to move the story along and have 0 humor outside of maybe an unfunny quip.
Michael Crichton named the book this movie is an adaptation of. The movie changed quite a bit from the book.
I never read it, maybe it has more Jurassic dinos in it, but it was probably a phonetically pleasing thing for marketing.
Triassic Park sounds dumb,
Because I read that they made changes for the movie adaptation. Off the top of my head I know they changed some on screen dinos and the character of Ian Malcom. You can know this fact without having to read the book.
Neither of those were changed though. Every on screen dino appears in the book, and Malcolm is the same dude. You literally have no idea what you're talking about.
That's the world's cutest autist and she doesn't want to give that dino COVID (you've seen what can happen when dinosaurs get sick from that episode where Homer traveled back in time with his toaster).
Well then maybe they should've called it Human Park
>Spinosaurid Swamps where there's an elevated network of walkway above a wide swamp. You can see Spinosaurus, Suchomimus or Baryonyx hunting fish and wading around >Titanoboa Exhibit, live feeding every week >Purussaurus Cove, with an underwater tunnel that lets you view this 12 meter crocodile from below
it's like 5 million years after the dinos, so no.
But my comment was about putting a creature from outside the dino era in a park about dino.
Might as well throw a trilobite there as well
it's almost impossible to recapture the magic of the first, no matter what ideas the best writers in Hollywood can think up. Like trying to put lightning in a bottle and a common problem when creating sequels
even the Lost World book was a cashgrab that Crichton reluctantly wrote. Not that the franchise is unsalvageable (like Star Wars or Indiana Jones) ... As of JW3, dinosaurs are loose upon the world, you can do stand alone stories not connected to any of the original characters. You don't need massive 300 million dollar movies.
Yeah... last time I was in Australia's Northern Territory, you could walk through the rainforest and sometimes a cassowary would cross your path. It's pretty eery because the jungle was so thick that you can't see very far, then suddenly this thing could be upon you. I bet seeing raptors in that kinda setting would be cool.
DNA can't survive 65 million years but it would be cool if it could. I think we have some Wooly Mammoth DNA at least, so cloning one might be possible one day with the help of elephants
Our only hope is that genetic modification will one day be advanced enough that we can recreate creatures that LOOK like dinosaurs. There are living birds that have the features similar to what we want, like the seriema; it has a curved claw on its feet like the velociraptors.

Sounds like they have recovered some thylacine DNA, Tasmanian tiger, so they can resurrect that weird little fricker Jurassic park style pretty soon.
It fixed a bunch of issues that 1 had, and added a lot more depth, you can use both JP and JW era tech and aesthetics, the graphics are pretty good, decent Dino customization, a large selection of dinos, quite a few maps, and cool death animations. The only thing I miss from JWE1 is the spinoraptor and stegoceratops hybrids.
yeah that shit was fire, you can probably recreate it evolution 2 with sandbox settings but it's not the same, haven't tried it to be fair though either

Inverse parks are easily doable in both JWE1 and 2. In fact one of the challenge maps in JWE2 has that idea and you have to unlock more parts of the map to expand. Letting your dinos free roam while caging the tourists is always fun.
I have a confession to make Cinemaphile.
I have only seen Jurassic Park one time. I know that it's one of the best movies ever made but I didn't like the characters so I have never rewatched it. Don't care about dinos.

FPBP. It's a beloved classic and one of the biggest game changers in the history of Hollywood
Agreed. It's one of those movies I never get sick or re-watching. T-Rex scene is a masterclass in filmmaking.
also has Sam Neill who is incredibly based
and bob peck
Just for him I want to check out Edge of Darkness even though I know it's hilariously outdated today.
facts
what about the fact dinosaurs are totally made up?
yeah they're theme park monsters in the movie created by fusing frog dna and dino-deen ayy that's why they dnt have feathers
Doesn't matter, it's a movie... it's all made up.
moron
if their made up how did they make a movie about them? dumpass

And Dennis Nedry has his butter fingers, of course.
The only bad thing about it is hacker girl hacking, i roll my eyes every time

Same, I’ve already rewatched it 4 times this year (including in theaters).
Nothing will ever beat it for me.
peak cinema
peak human race
it's all downhill from here.
it has one flaw: they killed Muldoon instead of the chink rat doctor
Can a movie like this even be made anymore?
Just think of this scene. If this was made today this scene would just exist to move the story along and have 0 humor outside of maybe an unfunny quip.
Did nobody helping build it have the balls to tell Hammond what a fricking moronic name Jurassic Park is? It literally makes ZERO sense
You bet Jurassic it makes sense.
It’s a theme park featuring dinosaurs, some from the Jurassic period.
Jurassic Park.
Are you actually moronic, anon?
IT'S AN EDUCATIONAL FACILITY!
>"Jurassic" Park
>The main villains of the movie (Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurus) both came from the Cretaceous period
bravo Spielberg I love you!!!
Dinosaurs are not villains in the movie. Men are.
Well then maybe they should've called it Human Park
Welcome...to Man's Greed and Inhumanity to his Fellow Man Park

HOLY FRICKING SHIT
ITS A DINOSAUR
JESUS CHRIST
WHAT THE FRICK
what dinosaur species is this?
homosexual scientists are going to say thats what t-rexs looked like
THE BEAST
It's the bird from that one episode of Tiny Toon Adventures where they search for treasure on an island.
Wayneknightosaurus
Dino Dino Fun World
.
Would guests have to pay for a goat if they wanted to lure the T-Rex out?
you have to bring in your own goat
Seems impractical.
Realistically they would have probably timed the tours with the feeding schedule
T-Rex doesn't want to be fed, he wants to hunt.
So true
We will never have another JP will we?
Who's the betty and why is she wearing a mask?
That's the world's cutest autist and she doesn't want to give that dino COVID (you've seen what can happen when dinosaurs get sick from that episode where Homer traveled back in time with his toaster).
Welcome... to Holocene Park.
My dream Jurassic Park/World attractions

Titanoboa is from after the Mesozoic
Isn't that even easier to clone then
it's like 5 million years after the dinos, so no.
But my comment was about putting a creature from outside the dino era in a park about dino.
Might as well throw a trilobite there as well
why are you so Eonist, I just want to see more prehistoric animals from any time period
Chili and sea bass is back on the menu lads. Note the chili peppers surrounding what appears to be bass fish.
Those are tomatoes
name a better food pairing, pro tip you can't
Why did everything go shit with the Lost World and afterwards.
Could have just adapted the book.
it's almost impossible to recapture the magic of the first, no matter what ideas the best writers in Hollywood can think up. Like trying to put lightning in a bottle and a common problem when creating sequels

Raptors in the Amazon rainforest could have been cool, would be like Anaconda but better
Yeah... last time I was in Australia's Northern Territory, you could walk through the rainforest and sometimes a cassowary would cross your path. It's pretty eery because the jungle was so thick that you can't see very far, then suddenly this thing could be upon you. I bet seeing raptors in that kinda setting would be cool.
>"psst, you got any VB mate?"
The Lost World had two insufferable characters and Ian spends a third of the book off his ass on meds again while his not-gf does everything.
>DIE-NO DEE-EN-AY

It's all bullshit and psyops. We have heaps of soft tissue from dinos, which was also "entirely impossible".
cut open the bones and check
Sounds like they have recovered some thylacine DNA, Tasmanian tiger, so they can resurrect that weird little fricker Jurassic park style pretty soon.
John Williams' best score imo
Would a found footage Jurassic Park film work?
Yeah I'd love a dinosaur movie where I can't see the fricking dinosaur
you can see it tho
It would just be a ripoff of Cloverfield
Not necessarily a bad thing the first cloverfield had good suspense
Cool video, but damn what a moron that guy was
what a moron T-rex is for going through a window head first. Have fun with your cut up face
Actually got jump scared cause in Lost World I was always confused by the T rex didn't just bash through the houses like that, wasn't expecting it.
Animals aren't necessarily gonna slam their heads through unfamiliar large objects
>convenient static to mask him going from inside the house to outside
Can't do seamless eh?
Are those dinosaurs autoerotic?
to mUAASSOCPA
Anyone else play this when it came out?
Yes. Still do. It's so much better than Evolution.
Evolution 2 is currently mogging it and I've been playing JPOG since day 1.
why is evolution 2 good? i am interested in it but i dont know why its better than 1 ( i didnt play 1 either)
It fixed a bunch of issues that 1 had, and added a lot more depth, you can use both JP and JW era tech and aesthetics, the graphics are pretty good, decent Dino customization, a large selection of dinos, quite a few maps, and cool death animations.

thanks, might check it out then
This and Theme Park are the best park simulation games ever.
Awesome. You ever make an enclosure in the middle of the island and put all the human stuff inside? Turn the rest of the island into a big ass safari?
yeah that shit was fire, you can probably recreate it evolution 2 with sandbox settings but it's not the same, haven't tried it to be fair though either

Dillateforsaurus
Still annoyed they killed him off. Its the only flaw in the movie.
It's cool when a colorful character you don't want to go dies in spectacular fashion.
I kind of want to frick Muldoon
Would the book version look close because I'd rather take mr RPG over the b jobber version
I think he has a mustache in the book

did you know there is a cartoon sound effect when nedry slips on the rock in the dilophosaurus scene?
Just went to Kauai, was pretty based
Saw those weird trees the dinos eat
It’s called a fern genius
