Cozy Jurassic Park thread

It's complicated.

How so?

Shit script, shit characters, shit editing, but nice action scenes.

Smug asshole protagonists who would have been killed several times over if not for the sacrifice of the one decent guy on their team and the "antagonists". The way Eddie was gradually killed while the rest of the group just let it happen reminds me of that episode of Metalocalypse with the lake troll.

I watched my tape so many times it’s got soul

Things i like: Roland Tembo, the music, the rexes.

Dislike: the raptor gymnastics, the whole bus falling over the edge.

I remember being so fucking pumped when this first came out.
Now watching it with my kid it still holds up

Lost World was always my late night movie. Jurassic Park was my lazy sunday afternoon movie.

One thing that bugged me was that a bunch of those mercs were carrying FALs, which would have been able to wreck the Rex, but instead they just failed around uselessly.

These anons basically sum up my feelings to the movie. I'm a major worldbuildingfag and I at most consider the general plot to be canon rather than the entire movie.
The way so many characters face an undeservedly cruel fate is unappealing.

I have fond memories of watching that on a huge theater when it came out. As a kid, I was expecting a relaxing adventure movie

Same. I even bought JPIII on VHS so I can own them in one format even though by 2001 VHS were on their way out. I remember bringing JP to preschool but other kids weren't enjoying it as much as it was decided to switch to something more family friendly. For a long time it was a traumatic experience now I only feel disdain for plebs.

I like it as much as the original. fuck faggots who say it's bad. it's just a damn good dinosaur adventure

Me too, bro. I miss white America.

Extremely solid dinosaurs movie. Fun and adventure that we don't get enough of especially with dinosaurs. This reminds me of movies of Ray Harryhausen. In fact the entire franchise is full of references to old movies with dinosaurs.

You now realize you can see the T-Rex fling Ian Malcolm with her snout. I watched this scene over 50 times before I realized it.

please share those referecences.

who else had this poster as a kid? I had it on the wall next to my bed and I'd wake up and look at it with awe every morning. God, I miss being a little shit.

Ok let me think about them so I don't miss anything.

I've known this since I was 7, you just never paid attention.

Truly the best character. RIP Pete, you are sorely missed.

my mom just recorded the movie while it was showing on TV and that's all I had to watch 50 times. she accidentally changed the channel for a couple minutes at one of the most crucial scenes where you see the brachiosaur for the first time, so I didn't even get to watch that full scene until like 20 years later.

i had a jurassic park shirt before i had ever seen the movie. i was hyped for it. but when i saw it, i was legitimately disappointed. the story felt really small (some people trapped on an island). it felt like something i had seen before. and there wasn't a cool protagonist to root for, just some cranky scientist. didn't understand why they didn't focus more on the dinosaurs and less on the people.

you little shit. how about when you got older?

What was he doing up there?

I think it was my favorite when I was a kid

Cute 90s experience.

It had Roland so yeah I do. I watched it for the first time as an adult earlier this year and it was a lot quicker paced, Nick is a complete asshole and he is the reason San Diego happened. That said, fun dinosaur movie. That's why I see these lol.

FAVORITE JURASSIC PARK VIEWING EXPERIENCE THAT YOU CAN DO ANYTIME YOU WANT!

>PSVR & Playstation 4
>Blu Ray copy of JP in 3D

Spielberg put a LOT of love into the 3D conversion of the original JP for Blu Ray. Watching on the PSVR is perfect, because the 3D works best because your eyes are always perfectly centered on the screen.

Most memorable part: When the T-Rex flips the Ford Explorer around, it pops out directly into your view. Just a FUN experience from start to finish, on an IMAX sized viewing screen from the comfort of your home.

Loads of those mercs were carrying military grade shit, there is literally no way a t rex could stand up against 30 men with rifles

>The Lost World (1925)
-obviously the name of the second book and movie, in both stories a group of people explore an "out of time" dinosaur land
-at the end of the movie (unlike the book) a dinosaur is brought back to civilization and goes in a rampage, the dinosaur survives and goes back home

>King Kong (1933)
-Buck is seen scratching his head like the T.Rex in King Kong
-Dr. Malcolm namedrops King Kong
-the ship that brings Rex to San Diego is called Venture like the ship in King Kong

>Godzilla (1954)
-it's untrue that Japanese people in the San Diego crowd say something that's a reference to Godzilla (or you just can't hear them well) but the climax of TLW was still partially envisioned as a homage because Spielberg is a fan

>The Animal World (1956)
-a few photos from this movie are seen at the beginning of Jurassic World

>Gorgo (1961)
-baby theropod is kidnapped and its parent goes on a righteous rampage to save it and in the end they're reunited

>The Valley of Gwangi
-the round up scene in TLW resembles the premise of this movie with cowboys capturing dinosaurs with the intention of bringing them to civilization as an attraction
-the scene of T.Rex hunting Gallimimus is directly inspired by a similar scene of Gwangi hunting Ornithomimus

I hope I didn't miss anything big. I'm trying to think if there was any reference to The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. Maybe that sub from the beginning of FK that was swallowed by Mosasaurus but I'm gonna assume it was a coincidence.

book was better

Book was better.

I like the home media releases we got so far but it's a shame Spielberg has some kind of aversion to commentary tracks. Both of his two movies don't have anything but I'd love to hear whatever Denis Muren or Phil Tippet had to say.

No,

No.

>I hope I didn't miss anything big.
You did. You missed the Son of Kong reference in the first JP.

OMG IS THAT...A THING...FROM THE NOT SO FAR PAST!?
OH MY DAYS!
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE CONSUMING!!!

Yes.

Yes.

And THAT said, holy shit I had every toy and video game of both movies. Nothing beat Christmas morning to find all the vehicles, the compound, the dinos, everything. I was so happy. Then later after TLW when I was 7 I had those cars, the humvees and all those dinos. I had destroyed the trailer set because I kept making it fall from the dining room table lmao. A coworker told me not to see Dominion because it's consuming product, dude couldn't understand man. Jurassic World was a shit film but it was the last movie I got to see in a theater with both parents, and was the first JP product I ever bought with my own money after all the toys and video games my folks got me. Was nice.

Maybe

Maybe

Maybe

Maybe

i watched my VHS copy so much that it eventually wore the tape out and it became unusable. i am a retarded autist and have gotten to the point where i've seen the movie so much that i can replay the whole thing in my head from start to finish at near instant speed whenever i feel like "watching" it. or sometimes i just watch it anyway.

I just remembered the reference to When Dinosaurs Ruled the World (with the banner thing) but, Nick's comment about "oversized iguanas" is a reference to slurpasaurus a, technique used in On Million B.C., One Million Years, B.C. (although there it was a reference to the original film) and Journey to the Center of the Earth. I don't remember the thing from Son of Kong. I know he fought a cave bear and there was a Styracosaurus.
Also Williams's score for TLW resembles that of the original Kong.

Just have fun for once in your god damn life

God it feels weird seeing this described in written format. I can do this too.

>I don't remember the thing from Son of Kong.
Simple reference, not surprised most missed it. As stated by Ian Malcolm: "That is one big pile of shit"

I remember the book being practically torture porn compared to the movie, I think someone was ripped to shreds by a hundred compsognathuses.

Why did this fucking idiot turn the light on in the worst fucking situation ever?

your mom sounds like a stupid slut

Yeah the dialogue scenes are great because Crichton was clearly interested in science and technology but the scenes with dinosaurs are not the highlight. And it a bit explotative but gore is memorable.

Holy shit, I forgot about that poster. Yeah, I had that one. I also had the vhs display holder from the store where there are motorized cardboard doors that open to reveal a T-Rex.
