Every Jurassic Park Movie (1993-2022)

0:01 welcome to your video guided tour of the Jurassic Park movies for our returning visitors you will be familiar with the breathtaking and wondrous experience of the first movie and perhaps some warm feelings of nostalgia for the Lost World then you'll be reminded of the small glimmer of hope offered by Jurassic world which is then sadly depleted by the existence of the last two movies if this is your first time visiting the park no refunds thank you for listening Dr hasenberg will now take over as your personal tour guide through all of these wonderful and godforsaken movies and remember to add a like down below and watch without ad blockers so that

0:48 hasenberg can pay the voice actor he's hired wait you said I was getting paid in advance whoa whoa what was all that crazy stuff about don't know anything about that last part she said but what I do know is Jurassic Park and all of the interesting films that came after it it's going to be a long ride so let's just crack on shall we welcome to Jurassic Park do I dare describe Jurassic Park as a perfect movie I'm going to be a bold boy and say yes it's the perfect combination of everything that makes a movie and Unforgettable and life defining experience the concept captivating every dinosaur fans dream world brought to life how' you do

1:35 this I'll show you the characters and who they chose to play those characters perfect choices were made could have been worse John a lot worse the combination of CGI and practical effects absolutely breathtaking and the landmark of Cinema history head being right all the time [Music] and the story nothing like it came before and in my opinion nothing like it will ever happen again even within its own franchise they tried but couldn't quite capture that lightning in the bottle moment again but we'll come back to that point later yeah that's nice got to go of course those points were just scratching the surface of what makes a movie great this is just the tip of the

2:21 crystallized Amber Iceberg and I couldn't be happier to give you the full guided tour of everything there is to appreciate about Jurassic Park the opening title cards combined with the first of many incredible John Williams scores is so Eerie you feel like you're stepping into a dark and dangerous Forest the opening shot of this movie also does an amazing job at setting the tone as we see the park staff looking up nervously into the trees watching something moving and growling which is then revealed to be a dinosaur in the cage this spotlighting and presentation with all this creepy fog is classic Spielberg Talent on display this man right here is Robert malun a big game hunter from Kenya currently employed as

3:08 the parks Warden and he's overseeing the delivery of this dangerous dinosaur and to show you how dangerous these creatures are even with all these precautions in place and guns at the ready they were unable to stop this creature from overpowering them with intelligence and it eats the gatekeeper we get this excellent camera work giving us closeup eye contact between the Velociraptor and Robert malun as he and the other guys ineffectively do all they can to stop this Monster's raw strength shoot her shoot her what an amazing way to foreshadow the message of this entire movie The Park lawyer is forced to go to a dig site to speak with the foreman about a lawsuit that the park faces for the death of the gatekeeper and the fact that John Hammond the park owner isn't

3:55 here because he's spending time with his family shows his almost careless regard for formalities and due process which we'll see more of when we get to know him the lawyer explains that they're looking for two experts to give their sign off on the park before it opens so that the insurance companies will agree to give them further Financial Protection but the foreman is more interested in this chunk of Amber containing more dinosaur DNA next we meet Alan Grant and Deli Satler both paleontologists working on a dig site in Montana and they gather around a scanner showing the remains of a Raptor Allan describes the many similari ities Raptors share with birds which causes this young boy to mock Raptors that doesn't look very scary more like a 6ot turkey this is

4:40 where alen's indifference to children and inexperience of being around them is shown by alen scaring the kid half to death in order to get him to show respect to Raptors and he slashes at you with this 6in retractable claw like a razor he slashes at you here or here also this speech foreshadows the hunting abilities that the Raptors demonstrate later but I'm keeping this part blurred for now to avoid spoilers unexpectedly a helicopter arrives blowing dust everywhere potentially setting their progress back so Alan angrily races inside to see who's arrived what the hell do you think you're doing in here hey we were saving there for today

5:26 I guarantee it this man is John Hammond an eccentric billionaire who funds their expeditions from afar he explains the situation but remains deliberately vague on the details of his Park attractions insisting instead that they come visit the park and give him the sign off his insurer's need I like how at first they seem unsure but Hammond demonstrates that money gets him exactly what he wants by offering to fund their dig for three more years we then cut to a sus looking man carrying a bag and he gets called over to a meeting you shouldn't use my name you know they Dodson Dodson we've got Dodson here see nobody cares this delightfully chubby fellow is Dennis nedre a disgruntled member of the parks it

6:12 infrastructure in his Greed for a big payday he's in a shady deal with Dodson to smuggle out dinosaur DNA this part where Dodson is showing him how to conceal the DNA has always freaked me out it's cool and compartmental did you hear that weirdly natural squeak I was confused for the longest time not knowing if this come from the compressed air inside the can or whether this noise came from Dennis NRI and trusty Jurassic Park fan base who have already done some investigating along with this video editor going framed by frame the foreign dubs for this movie proved that this noise came from NRI this is the kind of small detail that I'm sure only lifelong Jurassic Park fans like me will care about but I had to mention it how many fly as his

7:00 special guest to the island with Hammond's lawyer bringing this quirky man along as his choice of person to sign off on the park his name is Ian Malcolm played by the legendary Jeff Goldblum he's generally regarded as the best or perhaps most memorable character in this movie which is why he's been in almost every Jurassic Park movie since you'll have to get used to Dr Malcolm it's made obvious why John didn't want him here as they share a history of disagreements for John Hammond's different projects they stop bickering as John gives his iconic introduction to the island there it [Music]

7:45 is it's such a magical moment that only improves of the context of knowing what's on this Mysterious Island take note of this conversation here where Hammond's lawyer Donald is determined to keep Jon's head out of the clouds and focused on taking this investig a seriously your investors whom I represent are deeply concerned 48 hours from now if they're not convinced I'm not convinced I shut you down John in 48 hours I'll be accepting your apologies they arrive in these amazing Custom Jeeps and man if you could see my smile right now this moment of them pulling up and the camera moving in closer to Dr Grant's face with the next cut still holding on his shock and a leaves you tingling with suspense before the first reveal of what's in this park

8:30 this thing [Music] why there's a dinosaur uhhuh and then they ramp up this emotion as John Hammond gives them a formal introduction the big reveal of the park welcome to Jurassic Park I really could go on to describe every detail of why this scene is absolute perfection the reactions of each person including the lawyer who is temporarily dazed into having his head in the clouds alongside JN we're going to make a

9:17 fortune with this place and we have J's expression of tearful Pride the music the editing and we have to mention the CGI which was groundbreaking at the time it's just a privilege to exist at the same time as this movie John ushers them into the visitors center so he can give them the same presentation that other visitors are going to experience this video that he's produced is set up in a way that suggests that he's going to be present for every single presentation which is the least realistic thing about this dinosaur park the presentation explains how the dinosaurs were made using blood extracted from a Mozzy preserved in Amber and spliced with the DNA of frogs it's a really fun part of the movie that delivers Exposition in a very engaging way and I love this wacky cartoon de a guy and his stupid little voice sometimes after biting a dinosaur

10:04 the mosquito would land on the branch of a tree and get stuck in the sap and now we can make a baby dinosaur the ultimated tour takes them to a viewing window of the Hatchery but the tour carries on too quickly for these dinosaur experts who cannot simply move on without seeing more can't do that can they do that they barge their way into this very important room just in time to see their first baby dinosaur being hatched and straight off I and Malcolm is concerned about them playing God like this suggesting that even though the dinosaurs are genetically altered to all be female science can never fully control nature you're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will breed no I'm I'm

10:50 simply saying that life uh finds a way the tone of this movie finally switches from Wonder and all to deep concern when Dr Grant learns that the park has Velociraptors Robert moldun shares Dr Grant's level of fearful respect with the added rationale of witnessing firsthand just how deadly smart Velociraptors are the debate goes into full swing by lunchtime with John Hammond at his Wit's End feeling like everyone in the room is against him our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before yeah yeah but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stand and think of they should you do feel bad for John I can personally relate to the feeling that people are trying to Cross Your Dreams by laying down cold hard truths and telling him that this idea of his will likely Crash and Burn throughout the whole film you

11:36 feel like he'll watching an old man's dreams being Stripped Away all because he acted too hastily to make it happen in his excitement of discovering the ability to make it happen that's what makes this film so tragic in my eyes sure the multiple deaths are sad but nothing hits me in the fields quite like John Hammond's story now we have some levity after that Soul crushing conversation as John's grandkids are here away we miss you this is a rare example of where kids in a Blockbuster movie actually add value and purpose to the character arcs most notably for Ellen Grant earlier in the movie they had a playful conversation about having kids where Dr Satler is eager for it to happen and Dr Grant isn't so sure even though he outwardly resists the idea he

12:21 demonstrates throughout the rest of the movie that he'd be a great dad small character details like this are largely missing from the later movies you you can really feel the difference John instruct Samuel Jackson's character Ray Arnold to start the self-driving Jeep Tour and even he sounds anxious about doing this hold on to your butts they ared through the Jurassic Park Gates and you'd expect them to be seeing dinosaurs straight away like you do in a zoo but instead right away we can see a problem in that these dinosaurs live in very generously spaced encloses and so the first dinosaur on their tour the dilophosaurus is nowhere to be seen now eventually you do play have dinosaurs on your on your dinosaur tour right hello I really hate that man John

13:08 Hammond for getting the golden Ru of zoos is that you need to squeeze these stupid animals into tiny unnatural spaces so that we humans can GK at them and bang on the glass loudly to scare them as the tour continues John approaches Dennis about some minor coding errors he made and Dennis pushes back by saying he's not paid enough oh you're right John you're absolutely right you know everything's my problem I will not get drawn into another Financial debate with you Dennis I really will not during their squabbling malun tells them to be quiet because the tour is about to enter the T-Rex Paddock but again it was anticipation for nothing as the T-Rex is also nowhere to be seen you'll noticed that we're about 50 minutes into the movie and we've Yet to Come face to face with any deadly dinosaur we were teased at the start with the Raptor and the movie continues to keep us waiting which makes the later

13:55 scenes when they do appear so much more special John attempts to lure wrecks out with a goat while Timmy and sister Lex look on you going to eat the goat excellent what's the matter kid you never had lamb chaps I mentioned this goat scene because it leads to a cool jump scare later where's the goat continuing on Alan decides to suddenly leave the car when he spots something going on in the fields with Ellie following him seconds later they find a sickly Triceratops being investigated by a park ranger and the emotion that overcomes Ellie here is very authentic to me please me girl Alan Grant doesn't cry but his reaction feels equally real to me she

14:40 was my favorite when I was a kid now I see she's the most beautiful thing I ever saw to investigate the cause of the Triceratops illness Ellie says they should find its poo to see what it's been eating and this next bit is by far the most memed part of the movie that is one big pile of [ __ ] as John feared a tropical storm has stayed its course towards the island so the tour has to be cut short this storm also changes Dennis nre's scheme as the boat he was going to leave the island on with his stolen DNA is having to leave early there's nothing I can do the captain says we got to go we got to go Dennis nervously comes up with an excuse to leave his desk while timing the security systems configuration look how these two scenes are edited [Music]

15:26 together isn't that just the perfect edit for conveying how Dennis is about to execute his plan along with the thunder clap that tells us this is the start of the disaster element of the movie Dennis gets to work stealing the valuable DNA samples from the cold embryo storage not sure what a stegasaurus is must be a close cousin of the stegosaurus with Dennis on his way to the boat the team start to realize that Dennis has shut down some vital functions of Park security and they can't get the system back online without him as he initiated a program to make it this way you didn't say the magic word please God damn it hate this hack of crap unfortunately for the people who went back to the Jeeps and were on their way back to the visitor center the Jeeps

16:12 have lost power right outside the Rex Paddock and before long they start hearing the ominous fuds of the Rex's footsteps and then they notice that the goat is off its chain where's the goat this part where we see the Rex testing the fence seeing it's no longer power wood and then popping its big old head up is really awesome the fact that her first appearance is animatronic rather than CGI is exactly why this moment is timeless the lawyer freaks out and runs for the toilets leaving the kids on their own now where does he think he's going when you got to go you got to go the Rex comes out of its Paddock and I'm just going to play this part

16:59 boy no head being ra all the time even though this part uses CGI the rain and darkness covers it up well enough to keep its level of authenticity the T-Rex Rampages she tries to eat Lex and Timmy in a moment that scared the crap out of me as a kid and then she eats the lawyer in a part that will always be funny [Music] Alan Grant attempted to lure her away with a flare which was working out really well that is until Ian Malcolm decided to try the same thing and he gets chased down and smacked

17:44 away with Timmy stuck in the upturn Jeep Lex and Allan sit as still as they can to not alert the Rex to where they are going off the theory that the Rex's vision is based on their movement which I don't know if this is based on any real life research but honestly who really cares it makes for a good movie scene Rex pushes the car around which forces Alan and Lex to repel down into the enclosure even though in a previous shot it was suggested that the paddock is floor level but that kind of continuity era doesn't really bother me I still believe this movie to be perfect the Jeep gets pushed into a tree so Alan has to go rescue Timmy and both of the kid actors here do a terrific job Lex looks petrified at the idea of being left alone for a minute and Timmy does a great job at looking like he's in a State of Shock after what just happened

18:31 Ro we didn't get this tense scene watching them raise to climb down the tree as this heavy ass Jeep starts breaking the branches [Music] above well we're back in the car [Music] again Ray explains that there are over 2 million lines of code in Dennis nre's program meaning there's going to be a long way to get the park security back online John pleads with malun to take a gas powered Jeep and rescue his grandkids with Ellie insisting that she joins him they find Ian malcol injured but alive the others however are nowhere in sight while resting up I notices the Tremors in the puddles and when they rush back to the Jeep the surprise reveal shows Rexy in

19:19 Pursuit this chase scene is great with the only nagging detail with me not understanding why Rex wouldn't just bite Ian as she's clearly close enough to do so she somehow able to nudge the car but not take a quick bite but never mind they got away Dennis however isn't so lucky he crashed his Jeep and he's stuck on some rocky terrain and while tying a winch around the tree he sees that a playful dilophosaur is investigating him Dennis attempts to play fetch with it assuming them to be no smarter than the dog stick stupid that's a stick you like a stick get and the Wonder You're extinct Dennis slips as he tries to get back into the Jeep and then the Dow reveals its intimidating Frills spitting gooey Venom in his face I recently learned that in real life

20:04 dilophosaurs didn't have a frill and they also didn't spit venom so that's kind of a bummer but I'm still glad they decided to do this being one of the most memorable deaths in the whole Jurassic franchise the movie lightens up for a moment as Alan and the kids watch to brachiosaurs grazing high up in the safety of a tree a nice moment seeing Alan taking on the role as doin protector who says he will stay up all night if it makes them feel better we of course have this Coy scene where Timmy tells his dinosaur jokes what do you call a blind dinosaur I don't know what do you call a blind dinosaur do you think he saw us and the gross out scene where Lex gets sneezed

20:49 on and this part of the movie was clearly catering towards the kids watching this but the overall charm it adds to the movie is undeniable Ellie spots John Comfort eating ice cream as he suls about his dream turning into a nightmare this conversation is crafted beautifully as we continue to hear John talk about how he can correct his mistakes and he reminisces about his Creations in the early Days Ellie however wants him to wake up to reality talking in the Here and Now bringing the conversation back to something more important than the hopes and dreams of an old man the safety of their loved ones who are still very much in danger when we have control again you've never had control that's the illusion I was overwhelmed by the power of this place I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now the frustration

21:35 of this conversation bringing tears to her eyes this scene serves a humbling reminder how creative ambition to fulfill your self-imposed purpose in life can suck you in to the point of neglecting the people in your life the next morning Alan finds a nest with broken eggshells making Ian Malcolm 100% right about life finding way even though the dinosaurs were genetically modified to be female they patched in DNA from a frog type that has the ability to change sex speaking of Ian Malcolm here he is in the movie's second biggest meme this shot adds nothing to the movie but I guess they figured that the guys watching have their dinosaurs death and destruction to enjoy so better throw in something for the ladies to enjoy too with no other option left John tells

22:20 Ray to shut off all the power in the park to stop nre's program and reboot the system back to normal hold on to your butts the Main's power is restored but the breakers have all tripped meaning Ray has to go and manually flip them back on sounds easy enough but the breakers are located in the maintenance bunker on the other side of the Raptor Paddock Ellie and the others hunker down in the first aid bunker while they wait for Ray to definitely return malun Isn't messing around and won't let Ellie go on her own to check on Ray something went wrong I'm going to go get the power back on you can't just stroll down the road you know this next moment where we see the Raptors have broken out still gives me the chills because we all know what's coming they can see a path through the jungle to the maintenance bunker but

23:05 malun says the game is already over as they're being hunted by the Raptors and like the absolute bro he is he essentially sacrifices himself to let her make a run for it he feels somewhat confident that he can get the first shot but then clever girl Ellie makes it to the bunker but Ray Arnold is nowhere to be seen as she begins to flip the power switches back on andan and the kids are climbing over an electric fence which just so happens to be the last switch on the panel classic movie suspense stuff Alan urgently calls for Timmy to jump as the warning sirens are sounding subverting my expectations the first time watching this Timmy doesn't jump in time and gets

23:51 electrocuted but luckily after a 10th minute of no breathing Alan brings him back to life good boy good boy Ellie is celebrating bringing the park back online but then suddenly she manages to get away from the Raptor for now and then she thinks she's found Ray alive and well but nope Alan takes the kids to rest up in the visitor center while he finds Ellie and this starts what is probably most people's favorite part of the movie Lex starts trembling when she can see a silhouette of a Raptor on the other side of the wall absolutely terrifying they run off to the kitchen to hide hoping that Raptors don't know how to open doors oh no this

24:39 whole kitchen scene is so well choreographed and tense on First Watch you really do feel these kids are basically doomed and perhaps in reality they should be but I'm willing to suspend my disbelief even at the point where Timmy outruns a raptor to lock it in the freezer so yeah they managed to get out and the other Raptor generously gives them some time before running after them back with Ellie and alen they run off to the control room where Alan yells at them to enable the door locks boot up the door locks it was established earlier that Lex is a quote unquote hacker because

25:25 this is a '90s movie where anyone remotely comp C literat was labeled as a nerdy hacker while the grown-up struggle with the door Timmy flaps about like an injured pigeon and Lex gets to work hacking the system so they can get the security door back online and when everything is back online they found Jon to tell him the good news but it's not over yet going to come through the glass they managed to escape into the lobby but the Raptors are still on them it looks like certain death but then the T-Rex who made made no sound on the approach crashes in and takes on the Raptors I know it looks incredibly silly

26:12 but you can't deny the cheesy awesomeness as the T-Rex wins and the banner falls down in front of him John Hammond finally accepts defeat and it makes me tear up a bit as he's ushered into the helicopter with him walking away from the helicopter momentarily to remind you that this is was his pride and joy and this is a time of great loss for him leaving him in just as much shock as everyone else he stares mournfully at his crystallized Amber while the piano rendition of the Jurassic Park theme plays Ellie and Allan share loving Smiles seeing him transformed into a sorr father to these kids and then they fly off into the sunset what an amazing movie hopefully you can see why I spent longer than usual talking about it and if not I'm sure the movies to come will prove why it's necessary to praise this one so so

27:05 much the last world's biggest problem is the story it's nowhere near as thought-provoking or as neatly packaged as Jurassic Park especially when the movie gets to around the hour and a half mark where it feels like the story takes an Abrupt left turn away from all of the character arcs and subtext turn into purely focus on Big Bad Boy dinosaur action fun times with that said I still really like this movie where Jurassic Park is a 10 out of 10 the lost world is a respectable seven out of 10 in my books so please bear in mind that I'm going to try and balance out my critique by also talking about the things I really liked because in the moments when this movie does hit it hits extremely well so what is the lost world and why is it no longer lost the lost world is a super secret Island called EAA where

27:52 John Hammond and his company inen sprad the dinosaurs before taking them to Jurassic Park only problem is keeping this island a secret was never going to last when you have adventurous Posh families sailing around looking for a nice place to feed their children to wild animals C this opening sets up the best transition in cinema [Music] history Ian Malcolm lives a life of being recognized as the guy from TV after he gave some statements about the events of Jurassic Park that contradict the protective statements given by inen I believed you now I know this is a small insignificant detail but when mimicking the jaws of a creature Biting Down you

28:39 would instinctively position your fingers in the correct position for the teeth with the top and bottom set facing each other yet this guy has two top sets of teeth clashing against each other even a toddler knows the right way to mimic a dinosaur going ra with its hands has anyone else picked up on this or is it just me being weird probably just me right let's just move on shall we Ian arrives at John's Mansion for a meeting with him and I completely forgot that we get a cameo from the Jurassic Park kids oh my God hello kids so great to see you it's so great to see you the actor who played Tim said this Cameo paid for his college tuition which isn't too bad for half a day's work that was a nice surprise to be included in the Cameo of lost world

29:24 and show up there with with Joey and just make our appearance I basically got my college tuition paid for because of that movie and so it was this like little special gift kind of that I was given this Cameo is an example of why buying physical copies of movies is important for appreciating film like I said before I want to make sure I'm being as Fair as I can be to the sequels in this franchise and showing you lovely stories like this from the bonus material helps us to appreciate the real people behind this Hollywood product and I'll be showing some production material as we go along to app appreciate the impressive technical Feats where they deserve to be highlighted Ian and the new CEO of inen Peter Ludo immediately start butting heads over the media storm they generated by giving different versions of what happened in Jurassic

30:11 Park you can convince the Washington Post in the skeptical inquire of whatever you want but I was there I know what happened and so do you even though Ian feel was morally victorious in his mission to blow whistles Peter reminds him that money is a far greater power than the truth careful this suit cost more than your education John tells Ian that some inent board members want to sell dinosaurs in order to stop them going bankrupt using the incident of the young British girl to take control of inan away from John as they face yet another lawsuit now the reason Ian is here is because Jon wants him to go to the islands and be a key witness to the dinosaur's wellbeing so he can then convince the public to give the island a protected status and because Ian isn't [ __ ] he says buger

30:56 off I'm not going to an filled with dinosaurs again and he demands to know the names of the other people John P to go there and it's here that it's revealed that one of the people is Ian's girlfriend so guess who's going to the island you guessed it it's Vince vaugh and yeah of course Ian's here too Vince is a videographer and a member of Greenpeace not because he loves his Planet but because he loves women 80% female Green Peace Noble yeah only a criminally desperate man would throw pains on Price's artwork just for a chance at land in some unwashed puss the other guy on the scene here is Eddie a fielded equipment specialist not much to be said about this character he's just kind of a chill guy I sure hope nothing terrible happens to him

31:41 later Ian breaks the news to his daughter from a previous marriage that he's going away for a while and she gets all pissy about it saying he never spends any time with her he like to have kids but you just don't want to be with them do you hey I'm not the one who uh dumped you here and split for Paris so don't take it out on me if you're sitting there thinking this part of the story isn't as exciting as Jurassic Park was well all I can say is you're right you're absolutely right as a kid I was really jealous that Kelly got to wander around this high-tech trailer I'm not going to BSU I'm still jealous this trailer is an iconic set piece in the film and we'll see why later we get a fairly cliche but albeit cool transition of Kelly looking at the map of the place we cut to and you can't help but love the fact that these islands called Lino

32:28 mues which translates to the five deaths meaning that John Hammond willingly built his Park and site B on islands that come with a warning label they use the GPS tracker to find Sarah's phone and find that she's not there with it so they call out for her before being rudely interrupted by some [Music] stegosaurs what makes the inclusion of Stegosaurus in this scene particularly cool is that Steven Spielberg did so in response to some fan mail he got from a kid asking to see their favorite dinosaur on screen we've got the stegosaurus by popular demand by the way because of the fan mail for the first movie so many kids said I wish you had a Stegosaurus Nick goes in for a better camera angle and right next to him is

33:13 Sarah hey ni Sarah's really unfazed by Ian's concern for her being here and instead is dizzy with anticipation about seeing more dinosaurs I like how not even his girlfriend took his firsthand accounts from Jurassic Park as any kind of deterrent from coming here Sarah goes into pet baby stego and who can blame her I'd trade in my cat for a baby stego oh I'm only kidding Willow I'd never trade you in her camera goes berserk and so does the baby stego putting mama bear in protective [Music] mode sarid then goes on a rant about their purpose here and I think she's suffering from short-term memory loss I don't like that dinosaurs can pick up sents from miles away we're here to observe and document not

34:01 interact we're here to observe and document not interact they rushed to base camp to put out a fire and find that Kelly snuck on Bard and was cooking for them so make that two people in Ian's life who didn't take his experience seriously we get some more insight into in's personal life as Sarah explains how she feels abandoned by him when she's needed him before which Echoes how Kelly feels or or why not rescue me from that dinner with your parents that you never showed up for why not rescue me when I really really needed actually be there so In fairness it's now understandable why Sarah felt she wasn't too important to him they hear some rumbling from above and see the engine are flying a load of heavy duty vehicles in suggesting that Hammond sent in another team for some reason but it's soon apparent this new team is here against Hammond's wishes as they came here to hunt down and capture

34:48 [Applause] dinosaurs this sequence introduces us to the best actor in this movie in my opinion and he's definitely in the top tier of characters in this entire franchise his name is Roland Tempo a big game hunter played by the late actor Pete's posle I won't be saying that twice all of his dialogue is delivered with a stamp of authority and he's leading this Cavalry with a non-nonsense attitude there are two conditions firstly I'm in charge and when I'm not around Deer is all you need to do is sign the checks tell us we're doing a good job and open your case of scotch when we have a good day the next line he says is Iconic Roland dialogue and I wish play the entire thing but it's over 10 seconds long meaning YouTube will flag it for copyright but trust me it's worth a

35:33 watch but I've been on too many safaris with Rich dentist to listen to any more suicidal ideas okay okay this guy here Robert Burke is the dinosaur fact man and I find it funny that he's given a briefing about the pilosa orus at the same time as they're trying to deal with it when it lowers its head its neck lines up directly with its back BL which is perfect for absorbing impact wouldn't you prepared a team way ahead of schedule you probably had a few hours on the flight over here to give everyone a rundown right why give out this information now de to Stark who I'm just going to call Sparky because of this moment immediately makes himself look like a douche for being mean to this inquisitive little compy he'll get his come up soon enough Roland spots a single giant footprint and gets Burk to

36:20 confirmed that it's a Rex print and so off he goes on the hunt with this guy who looks way too similar to lllo for my liking so if I do mix them please don't be upset with Papa hasenberg I'm trying my best speaking of terrifyingly large daddies Roland comes up with a plan to lure a Mal Rex away from the nest by kidnapping the Cub is a baby dinosaur called a cub Okay Google tells me they're called hatchlings but I don't like that I'm just going to keep calling them Cubs it's way cuter so let's move on to some Funtime action ladlo is giving a live streamed pitch to investors for a new version of Jurassic Park this time it's going to be safely located in San Diego rather than Satan spit bucket or whatever these islands were called during this sales pitch Sarah and Nick are going around unbolting the cages to all the dinosaurs and this live stream meeting gets

37:07 obliterated by a [Applause] track while we're editing this part I come across this small little goof look at the uh cameraman as the Triceratops comes through the tent you see there's a wire that's coming uh from the back of the the uh stunt man here and watch watch what happens as the tri comes through they the wire pulls him Yanks him out the way which I wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for these other two here who are just like moving normally but for whatever reason the uh whoever choreographed this scene I'm assuming Steven Spielberg uh decided have one guy just yank get yeated out of

37:55 existence it's it's a fun little a flaming car is somehow sent as high as a tree causing Roland and RJ to bail out upon discovering the cut padlocks we get another great line delivery from Roland what's going on isn't it obvious we're not alone on this island Nick and Sarah rescued the car and bring it back to the trailer so they can perform first aid and this thing is Wailing like an N64 Mario falling to his death w a Ian tries to talk some sense into them like that's ever worked before and he's also trying to radio for a rescue boat but just getting a confused angry Latina on the other endri no no not Enrique Ian Malcolm are

38:41 you on the boat Enrique no is this the boat Enrique no no the lady enough wrong frequency Kelly starts freaking out and says she wants to go somewhere Out Of Reach of the T-Rex luckily Edie has a machine called a high hide because it's high and you hide and you're high while you're hiding I don't understand how this machine is supposed to work it appears to be a metal cable wrapped over a branch with a cage attached to it and they use a winch to take it up and down but I've got some questions like how do you pretest the strength of a branch that's holding you up there wouldn't it instead just be safer to attach a ladder to a tree and then all you have to do is climb up it and you're safe Roland had the right idea with this type of platform but those safety concerns will have to wait for now as an angry has

39:27 found its empty nest Ian calls ahead to warn them but they don't answer so he puts on his hero cape and descends to the floor and when he gets to the trailer we get the absolute best part of this movie mommy's very angry mommy and daddy don't take too kindly to their kid being napped and Sarah comes out with some stupidly obvious dialogue to set up a comedy line for Ian they came for their infants let's not disappoint them Luckily everything else about this scene is awesome I'm really glad they used the animatronic rexes in the close-up shots even Baby Rex is a cool animatronic which apparently was super complicated to control that was a difficult one because Vince had to actually be holding

40:14 it while it was moving and acting and everything so we had to hide this huge umbilical that was operated by puppeteers it's a common tactic in movie making but then making it rain super heavy really sets the tone well and I like the setup of having a phone either side so we can switch between the trailer and the high hide where Eddie can communicate the information that the rexes are returning to the Jungle but then Sarah goes on to explain that she now understands parental Instinct butan an actual parent knows from experience that Rexy ain't going to let this slide hang on this is going to be bad the rexes begin pushing the trailer off the cliff and it's such an exciting scene especially when Sarah falls down onto the window and it begins to crack I don't know why the rexes gave up pushing

41:00 the trailer before the task was complete maybe their comically little arms got tired I don't know but yeah the sound of the glass cracking the genuine sound of fear in her cries God oh God please it's all great Cinema heads up production wise they made a real mountain side using in a car park and combined this practical set with CGI with the final product looking pretty damn great in my opinion like I hinted before this is the kind of stuff I'll remind myself of before being too harsh about these Jurassic movies because I always want to be as Fair as possible having said that this next bit of dialogue when Eddie comes to the rescue

41:45 is so dumb what do you need we need Rope Rope what anything else yeah three double cheeseburgers with everything no onions are mine yeah sure it's funny but you're a sneeze away from fully sending this trailer down the cliff you might not want to be playing around with your limited time Eddie secures a rope for them to climb but the trailer begins slipping in the mud so he hooks the trailer to his Jeep and starts tugging away with the fury of a lonely kummer determined to complete the mission even when the rexes come back for a second time the trailer comes back a little thanks to his efforts but poor ready gets tossed in the air and pulled apart like a Christmas cracker the trailer goes down keeping our heroes perfectly in the center so they conveniently don't get

42:32 clipped even more fortunate Roland and his crew have arrived on the scene to help them up see if they were pure villains they would have Cut the Rope in Revenge for what they did earlier but they're simply people with different values in life by placing no value on animal lives beyond what they can sell them for hell I'm not complaining I picked up a sweet deal on a baby Rex's head I can still smell the mother's tears the two groups immediately Clash over their differences but Sarah is quick to alert them to the possibility that the rexes will likely consider this area a new territory as the scent of their baby is still here lllo says they need to make their way to the Communication Center to call in the helicopters but the problem is the Communication Center is where the Velociraptors are why they didn't build such an important place on the outer

43:19 parts of the island where all the friendly herbivores are mystifies me but this is a movie and we need a challenge to face so right this is all very thrilling but I say we should push on to the Village Roland puts forward a strategic plan and coldly describes how the T-Rex won't be hungry now so won't be looking to feed again for a while giving them a head start I assume you're talking about Eddie you might show a little respect the man saved Our Lives by giving his and then his troubles are over my point is the Predators don't hunt when they're not hungry they take a 5minute break deep in the forest and Sparky wanders off to take a piss but he doesn't just choose to go in some trees nearby like sensible person he goes way too deep which maybe You' understand if he had embarrassingly potent diarrhea or something but the man's just taking a

44:05 quick leak why not just pee next to your guy friend he doesn't care he might even be into it I'm not going to judge Sparky hears a tiny little dinosaur chirping and decides that's reason enough to panic and go searching for it he gives it another little Zap for sneaking up on him and now the idiot's got himself lost in the woods hey Carlo I got turned around here he slips down into the shallow stream and gets jumped by a gang of compies he wins the initial struggle but then as he goes to run away he gets jumped on again and killed out of view I actually quite liked this death scene it's cool to have a different kind of dinosaur posing an unexpected threat

44:51 it's a shame we don't get to see more compy action in the film but luckily the cgis stud Studio behind the compy models made this tribute video to thank Steven Spielberg it's called the compy dance number and I'll show it to you so we can enjoy the compies a bit [Music] more okay I'm done enjoying them now later that night the group takes a few hours to sleep and as Ian is keeping watch he notices some very familiar Tremors Sarah hears it too and shudders at the realization that her jacket is covered in the baby Rex's blood normally I would let this slide as an oopsy doopsy moment but less than 24 hours ago she was talking about how powerful a

45:38 T-Rex's old factory ranges and she even mentions that the baby Rex blood on her shirt isn't drying due to the humidity in the air so it seems a little silly that Sarah as an expert would overlook this detail aside from that I really enjoyed the suspense of this scene what is that the others in the camp wake up when one guy starts screaming at it and the Rex starts chasing them all down this Ravine we get a moment of Comedy when the Rex Corners them into a waterfall and a snake slivers into burk's shirt a snake

46:25 sake wow that some juicy apple he bit into Roland stays behind to shoot a Tran Dart into a Rex which might appear to be a heroic act but let's not forget what he's on this island for the action keeps going as they Venture into the long grass completely ignoring RJ's advice don't go into the I'm glad they chose to ignore it because I love this aerial shot showing the Raptors making a bee lion to hunt them down they start getting picked off one by one one and is very satisfying there is however one confusing [Music] part so he was running with the pack and then he turns around and starts screaming before the Raptor has even

47:11 jumped and he did all this before he could even see where the Raptor was this was sloppier than a hand job from a warus our main group the ones we actually care about followed just behind the sounds of screaming and hungry Raptors they run as fast as they can towards the Communication Center and by some miracle they make it with only a slight sprain sustain to Ian's ankle Vince V continues on entering the abandoned Communication Center a set design which has a lot of visual appeal for me as I love the abandoned aesthetic the Eerie Stillness of everything Sparks the imagination to wonder what this place looked like when it was fully operational if I didn't feel so icky towards radiation I'd love to visit pipiet the city that was was abandoned

47:57 after the N meltdown Vince manages to get through to the rescue team essentially saving their lives and know it seemed mean spirited to just call his character Vince vau through this recap but I actually think he's a decent character and this heroic Act is proof that Nick Van Owen deserves his name to be spoken when Ian and the others catch up to Nick they start calling out for him with Ian doing the same thing he teased Nick for doing at the start of the film Nick Nick Van Owen Sarah how many Sarah do you think are on this island Sarah this may have been an intentional joke either way I found it funny this next part of the movie when the Raptors attack is half cool half stupid some of this choreography makes no

48:47 [Music] sense like why are you running away from the Raptor only to then Circle back around towards it ah who could have foreseen this happening I can't believe he saw us a cool bit of choreography is when the Raptor's facing off against Ian in the petrol [Music] station and then we're back to the bad stuff again with a scene that everyone craps on and I'm about to pull my pants down and crap on it too Kelly uses her gymnastics skills to boot a raptor through a wall and onto a spike down below hey you [Music] 13-year-old girl fully grown Raptor

49:34 somehow has the equivalence of a rabbit being hit by a Volvo they get to the safety of the chopper and as they fly away they see Roland has his prize Rex in a cage so Roland has what he came for but he's now realized the cost of chasing this dream he's lost many men on this Expedition and he leaves with this sober in line of dialogue when llo offers him a job looking after the Rex no thank you you I believe I've spent enough time in the company of death this kind of feels like the end of the movie right nope we've got something big happening next llo is holding a live press conference to welcome the re to San Diego it's currently on a cargo ship about to arrive at Shore but then llo gets word that not only is the ship

50:19 early it's traveling at a concerning speed and there's no response from the crew this moment where the ship emerges from the dark Ness is so unsettling I love it and this unsettled feeling carries on as they B the ship to see what's going on finding no one on the top deck but there is a severed hand which is still holding on to this button correction this hand isn't severed I was thinking of the hand holding the steering wheel which is severed and when this button gets released boom Rex in the big city [Music] moment this T-Rex roaring at the city of

51:05 San Diego is Iconic say what you want about this movie but this is Cinema history we're witnessing although this moment is preceded by something that's always bugged me see if you can spot [Music] it how is no one in this heart reacting to this giant dinosaur stomping around outside no one's even looking out the window how can they be completely oblivious to what's [Music] happening I have to confess I do enjoy this Dino in the big city part of the film but I do recognize that it's mostly for nostalgic reasons the scene where this kid tells his parents that there's a dinosaur in their Garden has that

51:51 classic Spielberg feel to it [Music] it's all good fun to watch and I simply can't deny that I'm enjoying watching this again thinking with my critical hat on though this part of the movie does feel like it's stretching out the story just so they can add in some Blockbuster type action remember that with the first movie we had the amazing story lines of a select few characters whose story is All intertwined with John Hammond chasing a dream the dinosaur Parts worked alongside the story in a neatly packaged screenplay with the Lost weld we almost achieved that with I struggling to be a responsible father and a supportive life partner for Sarah

52:38 and we could have had a cool moment where he realizes that his hectic lifestyle needs to settle down and he rep prioritized his family time over dinosaur time Roland had a good story arc but I still feel like that could have been extended out a bit to demonstrate his emotional Journey rather than just in from him being a cold Hunter to suddenly being a man who's humbled by his experiences but that gets all left behind so we can have a cool Rex in the big city sequence hopefully you get where I'm coming from but remember this is just my opinion I'm expressing here and I welcome you to leave your disagreements in the comments Ian and Sarah locate the CB that was also brought back and they take it to the cargo ship to lure Daddy back to the place where he was being held before and because lllo is a crazy man he decides

53:25 to try and get Baby Rex back out of there because he loves money and the baby Rex is worth a lot of it but big daddy shows up and feeds llo to his young one with the Rex in position Sarah tranquilizes it back to sleep and the day is saved we get a sweet moment seeing Sarah Kelly and Ian all sleeping on the sofa in the safety of their home and this moment of Cal is accompanied by John Hammond giving a speech on TV about how they should leave the dinosaurs alone in their new habitat hat these creatures require our absence to survive not our help okay so that wasn't a perfect film but at times it was still pretty good and now we come to a film that I don't believe I can praise in any

54:11 way let's see shall we Jurassic Park 3 it's not a bad movie it's an okay movie with a few good moments and a few laughable strange Choice moments it's like if some unhinged man ordered a Five Guys milkshake and decided to ask for a combination of flavors that don't work well together let's say for example he orders a strawberry peanut butter and throw in some bacon bits in your milkshake that would perfectly represent the flavors of Jurassic Park 3 the few moments where we see decent animatronics at work are the strawberry Parts with strawberry being an established and successful flavor of

54:58 the movie then you come across some CGI peanut butter which is like yeah I can appreciate peanut butter but you clearly didn't invest in a high quality peanut butter maybe you're still able to stomach this milkshake but then you start choking on some unexpected Raptor bacon bits Alan wait wait wait what is this this doesn't belong in this already questionable milkshake I ended up finishing this milkshake even though it was kind of weird and if he gave it to me again I'd probably still consume it which proves how clever this comparison was and how smart I am would a person who isn't smart pay 565 for a milkshake that's bad tasting and gives you explosive diarrhea yeah Checkmate brainlets it's worth bearing in mind

55:45 that for this film Steven Spielberg stepped away from being a director to let his friend Joe Johnston take the Reigns Steven was still the executive producer so he didn't relinquish complete control the biggest and most obvious change was to the writing staff who between them didn't have many writing titles under their belt with one guy having written nothing before this in their defense writing a followup to a story that feels like it's already reached its conclusion is a tough challenge for even the most seasoned of writers so I'll give the movie some leeway as we continue with the recap we're back on E lasa site B some kid called Eric and his weird stepdad are parasailing around the islands trying to capture some dinosaurs on film see

56:30 anything yet no not yet but then the boat they T to starts jolting around and they can't see what's causing this turbulence due to this patch of fog when the fog clears the captain and the crew are missing and the boat is all tore up with these mysterious claw marks oh man they cut the rope and with no other choice they Glide towards the island it's going to be okay bud we cut to Alan Grant and Deli Satler this this iconic Duo appear to be in a loving relationship with two kids as in they're in love and they have two kids not that they're in love with kids but as it turns out Alan Grant is just visiting Ellie has a new man and he's the daddy of the two kids I've seen some people voicing their disapproval of Elli and

57:15 Grant's not being a couple saying that it invalidates the romance they had in the first movie but I'm inclined to disagree I think it's cool to show that not every relationship works out because that's just a reflection of real life the connection they shared in the first movie is still valid but it's a chapter in their life that they've moved on from and it's not like the movie dismisses their connection as we can see that a small flame still Burns between them as they exchange some looks and a long goodbye with each other you're still the best I mean that it's a last of my breed Alan appears at a seminar talking about the behavior theories of lost Raptors but the audience only seems interested in asking questions about what happened at Jurassic Park does

58:02 anyone have a question that does not relate to Jurassic Park or the incident in San Diego which I did not witness Allan is firm in his belief that studying fossil records provides more accurate data than what can be obtained from resurrected dinosaurs living in a controlled and unnatural environment the audience however are clearly more excited about the unnatural method they ask him if he would be willing to go back to site B for studies no force on Earth or Heaven could get me on that island you keep telling yourself that Alan Alan Alan meets with one of his underst studies Billy to share the unfortunate news that the seminar didn't go great and this will greatly impact their financial support but Billy's like

58:49 yeah yeah whatever want to see something cool I 3D printed the vocal chamber of a Velociraptor [Music] yeah you know this is going to come into play later interrupting their fun A Man Called Paul Kirby enters the tent Paul comes across like a wealthy businessman and claims to be a big fan of Dr Grant's work he then invites him out to dinner to discuss a proposition and Billy inserts himself into the invitation to make it happen this is a good move on his part smelling the potential funding that Mr Kirby might send their way Mr Kirby and his wife Amanda bang on about their Adventures across the globe climbing the tallest mountain going down the Nile putting their hand up to make

59:35 it look like they're propping up the leaning tower of pza yeah they look like the kind of annoying people that would do that and then post that picture on Facebook where their friends and family like it out of pity all the while secretly cringing at how unoriginal they are well anyway the Kirby's bring out a blank checkbook and say they're willing to pay any amount to have Al as their personal tour guide for their most exciting and unique Adventure yet a selfie next to the Eiffel Tower I mean flying over e Las SAA as they have special permission to fly in this restricted airspace in the plane Billy mentions that his bag is a lucky bag just like Sarah Harden had a lucky bag you're lucky pack couldn't you afford a Better Bag no way this one's lucky I don't know if

1:00:22 this was an intentional call back or just poorly researched right but repeating this gimmick feels lazy Alan dozes off on the flight and starts dreaming and this is where we get the hilarious out of place Raptor moment Alan Alan Wake Up almost there I remember everyone losing their minds in the cinema when we first saw this there was a look of collective Amusement across the audience making this an unforgettable moment to its credit I think the idea was that this was supposed to represent Alan's uncertainty about the trip with his nervousness about being near dinosaurs again maybe if they switched out the human voice for a raptor noise this wouldn't have come across so goofy Alan wakes to see that

1:01:08 they're now flying close enough to the island to start giving his tour but immediately he notices that Kirby and his wife don't seem all that interested and they start talking about Landing the plane we have a landing strip up here do you want me to put it down no no I told you I on a circle first see the whole island what do you mean set it down you can't land here what you talking Alan gets knocked out for protesting and aaks to the sound of aanda calling out someone's name on a megaphone outside Alan urges them all to get back on the plane and for Amanda to stop advertising their arrival to the hungry dinosaurs it's a bad idea what's a bad idea they all rush back onto the plane but one guy doesn't make it back and begs for them to stop and let him on but it's too late for this guy and it's also

1:01:55 too late for every one else as a Spinosaurus Clips him out of the air the following scene is one I quite like we get an animatronic spino trying to reach into the plane and scoop out the yummy humans like pick AIX it manages to grab one of the pilots and then it starts rolling the cabin around like a dog playing with one of those treat dispenser toys and honestly speaking this camera work for the rolling close-up shots and the use of dummies in place of actors makes for a pretty convincing scene they get past the Spy now as it digs into the plane and it chases them across the jungle

1:02:42 clearing I don't want to say the CGI is bad or anything but for shots like this the animatronic would have been a better choice they think they're in the clear but then they stumble across this Rex Nest Alan Rexy then chases them into the path of the spino which causes these two Titans to enter a deathmatch I like the idea of the bigger scarier looking dinosaur taking the crown as the main badass dinosaur of the movie Alan punches Kirby into a tree and demands to know why they really brought him here and it turns out these two are Eric's parents who mistakenly thought that Alan had been to this island before Alan turns off his anger towards them in the Grim realization that doesn't really matter as they are all likely going to

1:03:28 die as they try to recover their belongings from the plane the film attempts to make you feel the rekindling connection between Kirby and Amanda but it never really pays off in a meaningful way and right now we kind of don't want them to be happy considering that they're directly responsible for Alan Grant's potential death it would have been cool without the end of the movie Kirby sells his business to spend more time with the family and then he sends the money to Alan Grant's organization as apology that would have made for an experience where we see Kirby redeem his character in a meaningful way I realized I just spoiled the reveal of their son still being alive but come on there's no way anyone wasn't expecting him to still be alive when they see Kirby struggling to put on his backpack they suspect that he

1:04:13 might not be the adventurer he made out to be Mr Kirby tell me when you climbed K2 did you base camp at 25 or 30,000 ft 30,000 ft we're we're pretty close to the top you're better th000 ft above it actually no no that's a common mistake also he's no fat cat business tycoon he owns a kitchenbathroom supply store and it's super funny that he offers Alan a new kitchen in place of cashing that check he wrote here we are in the worst place in the world we're not even being paid with a stroke of luck they find Eric's parachute and also his camer as they bring the parachute down a spooky scary skeleton slips down causing aanda to scream and fresh about like she's got remote pleasure egg jammed up her butt okay you're free you're

1:04:59 free honestly I didn't even need to make that joke her flailing around like this is funny enough on its own okay okay you're fre you're fre speaking of unnecessary jokes they find an old engine building where they believe their son Eric could be taking shelter and when they come across some vending machines Kirby starts rooting around in his pockets for change I got a buck I got a buck 10 this would have been funny if it wasn't for the painfully obvious fact that these vending machines haven't been receiving power for some time again it's just I really don't want to be mean to the writers but come on really it was established mere moments ago that the power to this building is out as we saw Amanda test out the telephone and

1:05:46 overall it's just common sense really I mean look at this place the one redeeming element of this is seeing the Velociraptor silhouette Whi past the window giving us some anticipation of what's to come but the film kind of ruins this too with this stupid jump scare oh God this isn't how intelligent animals behave they're not aware that they're being filmed for a horror scene
