Jurassic World is miles better, 2nd best after Jurassic Park. Give a try to All 3 Jurassic Worlds, atl very least Jurassic World will be worth it and other two are good time pass too.
Honestly the only really good JP film is the first one, hands down. I feel like The Lost World had some good moments in it. Everything that came afterwards is just meh.
@@bookworm598 It really brings Megatron of the Decepticons to mind for me. Most depictions have him start out rebelling against the government of Cybertron because he wanted to fight for the rights of the lower class. Look at how that always turns out
Shout outs to Stella knowing her dinosaur names and showing such interest and wonder towards dinosaurs. I fell in love with dinos when i saw the first Jurassic park on vhs at home lol i love dinosaurs so much i got a Spinosaurus tattoo haha. Loved the reaction! keep it up guys!
Shes really good! the only one they didn't get was the Ceratosaurus, which was one of my favourites as a kid. I was so happy to see it in Operation Genesis and then JW Evolution.
The reason for these raptors looking different is that they are a separate subspecies (the tiger striped ones are lowland raptors while the ones in these are highland raptors) Also the ones with the blue stripes are males and the only spotted one is a female
Stella on CGI: "the technology is a lot better, but the way we apply it is a lot sloppier". This is so true. I think corporate profit motives and rushed production contribute heavily toward this. Movies (in general) are increasingly more quantity over quality. This is why its harder to find timeless classics in more recent years.
Truth. Honestly the first two JP movies could be a master class in how the way you use CG is arguably more important than how "good" your CG is. The first Jurassic World had some of the most cutting edge CGI of its time, but even now it's already starting to feel a little dated. You don't "feel" like you're watching dinosaurs, you feel like you're watching CG dinosaurs. Meanwhile there are some shots in the first JP movie where you go "Oh yeah! That's some old ass CGI!" but for the most part you don't care because it's used with such care and craft that you still feel immersed in what you're watching, you know?
@@milesbradshaw6643 Retcon. It's not an adaptation. It's a design change. It makes no logical sense for Grant to remember another type of Raptor after their design was changed. Think about it. (People will give various reasons for the design change but the only factual answer is that their designs changed as new information came out and new crews wanting their own take on the design. That's it.)
The scene in the aviary and the scene on the river are both taken from the first JP novel. The differences being that the aviary had Cearadactylus (who weren't strong enough to pick up even a child), while it was the T. rex that swam after the raft (they also passed by a pair of Dilophosaurus doing a mating dance, and trees full of Microceratus).
Funny thing about the T-Rex is that a lot of research posits that they would have been very good swimmers and might have actually been able to use water to ambush prey. It's been theorized for the longest time that, due to the body plan of the Rex, it wouldn't have been a good endurance hunter. So a lot of theories have been put forward for various ambush tactics. Being able to swim well would have made it a pretty damn scary son of a bitch :D
The common theory on why the spino was particularly mad at the people was for 1) experiments it endured and 2) holding a grudge for getting shot at and clipping it’s sail before the plane crashed. Animals IRL can hold grudges and remember faces. Such as crows and tigers.
The experiment sin question is also why it looks a lot different than the real world versions due to an incomplete fossil record and the "under the table" breeding of it. The Jurassic World web page is the only place that tells of this in detail, and according to it all the info on the website is cannon so yeah. It was basically an early hybrid attempt.
It’s already been stated that it was experimented on for the first 9 month (?) of its life (most likely painful and torture to test aggression). It’s also been stated it’s not “pure” and was part of an experiment called the “amalgamation testing” or something along those lanes which would explain its appearance. Camp Cretaceous S4 even has a line from a character saying it hates humans (the same Spino in this movie is on that season). It’s a pretty mysterious dinosaur lore wise. iirc in this movie the Spino is 3 years old and was still growing bc in cc s4 is nearly 46 to 50 feet in length. Darius’s model and the Spino was released in a size comparison chart and people did calculations to get the size which is bigger than the jp3 size chart.
The Spinosaurus is honestly the main reason why this film became so divisive among fans of the franchise. They decided to make Spinosaurus the main villain because at the time, it was a very poorly known Dinosaur (the only major specimen that had ever been found of it was accidentally destroyed by a World War II Allied bombing raid). Unfortunately, its portrayal in this film created a huge amount of backlash, especially in the scene where it killed a T-Rex so easily. More research on Spinosaurus since the film came out has shown just how inaccurate the film's portrayal of it was. The TRUE Spinosaurus was a Dinosaur that spent most of its life in the water and primarily hunted fish (it also would have been DEAD after that first bite from T-Rex). The real Spinosaurus has turned out to be so different than what Jurassic Park 3 portrayed it as that the filmmakers have actually had to go back into the lore and completely retcon the Spino's story to make it a Dinosaur whose genetic code was HEAVILY edited and experimented on by InGen. As a result of all this experimentation, and even honestly some torture as well, the InGen Spinosaurus REALLY hated humans, which is where this "murderous intent" that you see in the film comes from.
Hit the nail on the head there. The Spinosaurus was the first step in experiment Indominus. Indominus Rex is the final result of this little science project. It's design was accurate though to what we thought it looked like in the time when this movie eas shot. The aqua Spinosaurus is quite recent and long after this movie was made
@@DiscusvissenRockenHave to admit one of the things I actually *liked* about this and Jurassic World were Dr. Grant and then Dr. Wu pointing out that further discoveries confirmed all the gene editing they had to do really did make grotesque amusement park monsters rather than even semi-accurate recreations. Wrong sizes, mishapened flesh, absent feathers, etc. Ret-con or not it was a decent enough way to nod at all of the previous guesses and creative liberties.
@@Knight-Bishop the only real creative liberty was the Velociraptor naming since the actual real world Velociraptor was the size of a 6 foot turkey ( yeah the fat kid was actually right!). other than that they actually kept true to the novels and had good reasoning as to why the dinosaurs aren't 100% accurate: the genetic crossing made inaccurate dinosaurs with genetic defects, like the blind T rex (if it was 100% paleo accurate it would deffo know you're there even if you'd stay still, and it would also smell you). the Dilophosaurus that attacks Nedry was a juvenile in the novel hence why it is so small, and yeah Wu sums up why the dinosaurs aren't 100% paleo accurate, it is because of the gene mixing with amphibians and other modern animals instead of a 100% accurate genome for each dinosaur.
@@DiscusvissenRocken yeah they could have called the Raptors, Deinonychus which is much more accurte in size but i guess having people trying to say it would have been harder so they made a branding choice,,,,, huh just like ingen
I’m going to be honest, but this was my first Jurassic Park film I saw in theaters and even if this wasn’t everyone’s favorite JP film it did help most of us who were born in the mid-late 1990’s to watch the other films in the franchise before Jurassic World came out 14 years later, plus I love that the Pteranodon plays a larger role in this as their one of my favorite Dinosaur, even though its a Pterosaur. In addition, it was good to see Sam Neil and Laura Dern as Dr. Alan Grant and Ellie in the film, the former in much larger role and we wouldn’t even see them again until _Jurassic World Dominion_ 21 years later.
The same goes for me this the first Jurassic Park movie I saw in theaters despite the fact this movie has got a bad reputation among fans it did introduce most popular dinosaurs in the franchise the spinosaurus and I love the new designs of the velociraptors
Same, i still have my old CD-Rom and all of that minor lagging at certain scene then i had to blow some wind and clean just to fix it. Ahh...the good old days
41:02 did no one connect that the helicopter noise in the background was noticed by the veloceraptors and the veloceraptors let them go because of the noise? Edit: also I thought that when Alan made the veloceraptor calls, the veloceraptors couldn't understand him and one was going for the kill until the female/white one stopped them and that's when they heard the helicopter. They thought Alan called for reinforcements just like one of the veloceraptors did in the lab, and because of how loud the helicopter was, they didn't want to deal with that and left with their eggs.
I noticed that when I first saw this movie as a kid. It's just obvious. In fact, the way I saw it: The first call made no sense and quite possibly sounded like a provocation. The second sound they recognised as "I'm in trouble. Help me" and so some of them were ready to shut them up. Hearing a noise that they didn't recognise: They decided it wasn't worth their trouble and should just take what they came for. I honestly didn't know there would be anyone out there that would interpret the scene any differently. It just seems so obvious.
Definitely recommend finishing off the whole series just to see what you guys think. It's intersting to see people watch all of these so close together, as opposed to growing up with them and waiting years between releases.
The raptors in the movie are based on Deinonychus which was the size of those in the films. Velociraptors were the size of a turkey. Apparently, Spielberg thought Velociraptor was a better fit. Interestingly, a then new species, Utahraptor, was discovered right as the first movie was released. It was twice the size of the raptors depicted in the movie. As one scientist noted, Utahraptor may have been "the most vicious animal that ever lived".
All the Jurassic films were equally enjoyable for me that being said the original films carry all nostalgia feels for me, as for the reboot Chris and Bryce together were a very charismatic and entertaining duo and really enjoyed their dynamic throughout.
Fun fact: Billy was supposed to die, but test audience didn't like it so they decided to show Billy survived, Also if your interested there's a book about how Eric survived on the island I can't remember the title though Edit : it's called jurassic park adventures survivor
Apparently the actor who played Billy, Alessandro Nivola criticized the film and his characters survival in 2002: _"It was like the only part I've ever done that just had nothing for me to latch on to, character-wise. [...] It was kind of maddening"_
i mean, how did he make it back before the others and how would the military get him before he died. It didn't make sense. Not sure why test screenings, didn't like him dying. He didn't have much impact.
The bird abandoning because of human scent thing is actually a myth 😅😅 most birds don't have a very good sense of smell....for the most part you can just put the baby back in the nest with no problems 😊
@@jordanbridges Doesn't change the fact that birds don't have a great sense of smell. And, if I'm gonna be honest, from some of their reactions in the other Jurassic films, I'd be surprised if any of them actually graduated High School.
This movie had a lot of production problems behind the scenes, involving the original script, which was immediately thrown out before filming had begun: It was going to involve a couple of teenagers surviving a plane crash on Isla Sorna on their way to the Galapagos to meet their families. They encounter a strange hermit living in a treehouse, who turns out to be none other than Alan Grant, having snuck onto the island to study the dinosaurs in their habitat. The plot would later be the basis for JURASSIC WORLD: Camp Cretaceous. The Spinosaurus was written into the film on to be the main baddy. Baryonyx was considered to be the villain before the producers settled on Spinosaurus. The T-Rex animatronic used in the film had it's head torn right off during the first take. The actors suffered a lot of cuts and bruises and the makeup artists had to cover up the actual cuts to their face or hand to make it more authentic.
@@OPrime_RollsOut i heard that too when production for jurassic world had begun. Saw some Lizardman pics on the internet that were considered to be the hybrids. It said that they would build like dino soldiers and stuff 😂 I still hope for a dino riders movie or series 😊
@@amber.ren_1995 They also had a much better alternative plot with half the movie taking place on the islands and the other half taking place on the main land investigating sightings of dinosaurs as well as dead dinosaurs that washed up on shore (it followed the novels a bit better in those regards). I believe Grant in that treatment was leading the investigation of the sightings on the mainland in that one but the details are foggy since its been a few years since i saw the information.
@@Darnakas that was more the treatment for JP4 that never got off the ground that spielberg wanted made and some of the elements (like weaponizing dinosaurs and mosasaur playing a role) made it into the new trilogy.
My one thing with movies is always "just don't bore me"; as long as I'm mildly entertained, I'm good, and can look past plot holes & other stuff~ And I consider all the Jurassic movies to accomplish that on some level^.^
Omg yes I’m that same way as well! I’m not normally super picky. As long as it’s entertaining enough and of course the storyline not too absurd. And I’m cool with it.
4:48 "They had kids!!!" Man. I remember having the same excitement and joy over the fate of two of my favorite characters. Shame it hit the rocks harder than the speedboat in the intro less than 2 minutes later. This movie has a lot of issues, but for me the biggest is that Ellie and Alan didn't wind up together, and honestly, the only reason I can see for that decision was so that Alan could have someone to call for help at the end of the movie. Easily could've been written differently, maybe Ellie couldn't accompany him to the island as she was pregnant with their next child, just anything besides this trite story. Especially as, (SPOILER ALERT) they wind up together in JW3 anyway!
Funny enough, Grant and Ellie being in a relationship was movie only. In the original novel, they genuinely were just teacher/student, and Ellie was engaged to a doctor/lawyer
They kind of touch on this in the first movie when Alan is teaching the kid about how raptors hunt at start of the movie. Then when Ellie and Alan are talking about kids (right before Hammond shows up) Ellie says that she wants kids someday but Alan never says he wants them. Futhermore he even actively avoids Hammonds grandkids when possible at the start of the "tour". So it's not a far leap to assume that Alan doesn't want kids but Ellie does and that would basis for them not staying together.
@@PyroMaster87 Yes, but his whole character arc in the first movie seemed to revolve around looking after the kids and possibly warming up to the idea.
All good points. And I did rather enjoy the book. Guess partly I'm just salty about the way things spun out for them in JW3. It didn't strike me as a well thought out decision. But that is, just my opinion man. ;)
Fun fact. The spino is known to be the first hybrid dinosaur in the films. Which is why it's so intelligent,it holds grudges. It chased the protagonistes because they hit its sail with the plane
You do realized the Spino being a hybrid was debunked right? The Scorpios was the first true hybrid, not just confirmed by Camp Cretaceous, but by Colin too
Spinosaurus WAS NOT the First hybrid, this is a misconception, Spinosaurus was just a dinosaur created in the Amalgam Testings on Isla Sorna in the year 1999 Scorpios Rex was the First hybrid
I feel like you all should watch the Jurassic World series. Mostly because the last one brings back the old cast and has the new cast. So it is a ton of fun and nice to see Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm and what they have been up to.
@@sushi513 yeah i guess that’s because they took abit too long to bring the old cast back and by then the younger generation didn’t know who the heck they were lol
When I was younger, this was my favorite out of the entire series. I never cared for 2 so I would always rewatch 1 and 3. I finally rewatched 3 last year (after about a decade) and while not as great as I remember, I still enjoy it and it's still my favorite out of the series. I think it's the birdcage and the entire phone/water sequence that make me love this movie so much.
The weirdest part of this franchise is that the animated Netflix series Camp Cretaceous - for kids - is more lore accurate and more true to Crichton's themes than every movie after 2. And it's based off of Jurassic World, not even the book.
I think the issue here directors and writers like to put their own touch on the productions instead of follow it to the letter to not exclude creativity which is understandable but unfortunately sometimes they take it too far away from the original book or game material and it destroys the very essence that fans liked about it in the first place! So i guess balance is always key when it comes to adaptations.
CC is my favourite thing to come out of the franchise in the last 5 years. The story is really cool, I love the characters once you get past some of the slightly cringey dialogue in the first few episodes, and it really does a good job of incorporating lore from the books and other media.
CC's good but got a bit too long, especially concerning the supporting characters. It took to the camp counselors & big brother way too long to take action.
I also enjoyed the connections they made to the movies and how some of the story is set during the events of Jurassic world and shortly after. I only watched the first 2 seasons so im not sure if there was further connection after that
Another terrific reaction! I can’t wait for the Jurassic World reaction! Believe it or not the original script involved teenagers getting trapped on the Isla Sorna where the meet a hermit which was Grant who had snuck over to study the dinosaurs. If you’re looking for more dinosaurs films I gotta recommend Disney’s Dinosaurs, The Land Before Time, and We’re Back! A Dinosaur Story. 🦖🦕
I remember watching this in the cinema, nearly 22 years ago, with my older sister and my mum......good memories. I remember people used to complain about this one having the shortest running time throughout the franchise
Chef Nourhan Malik🍃 Jurassic Park is a bit over 2 hours long and The Lost World is around 2 hours and 10 minutes. So JP3, which clocks in at around 1 hour 30 minutes, could feel a decent bit shorter. Though, apart from marathoning the whole trilogy back to back, I'm not sure how noticeable the run time difference actually is.
@@TheMaskedChef7 It used to be that longer run times were common in action & drama films and short run times were for comedy and romance. So when this film wasn't as good as the previous ones (for several reasons), length was a good thing to point at and use as short-hand for "this director doesn't know action films". Which is ludicrous since Johnston is responsible for the original Jumanji, but it was low-hanging fruit for detractors.
I really love the new designs for the dinosaurs here, they’re so colourful in contrast to the dull browns and greens in the previous films. Especially the sexual dimorphism on display here (though the dull browns made sense given females of avians are typically duller that those of the males, but I digress).
27:20 To answer your question, yup Spineys are actually a widley debated dinosaur as newer and newer fossils keep getting found. First they were just a larger than a t-rex bipedal dinosaur. Then people determined there large forelimbs meant they were mostl ikely quadrupeds. Then it was determined their jaw structure was better suited for catching fish. Then back to being bipedal, and most recently from what I can recall it was discovered that they actually had much larger wider tails that resembled fins or crocodile tails. So it's assume they were water-based predators... but i'm probably missing things for this.
also in the book it is described in detail that the guy protected the boy by wrapping his body around the kid to shield him from the impact of the tree branches which broke many bones and caused internal bleeding and that even though he was telling the boy those last words at the end and that everything was going to be okay both he and the boy knew he wasn't since the guy was kinda choking on his own blood and he eventually lost to his injuries and critters feasted on him for the next 8 weeks
21:53 The raptors is this movie are a different breed known as the Highland Velociraptors. The ones from the previous movies are known as the Lowland Velociraptors.
There was a docu-series ages ago called "Walking With Dinosaurs" that followed a hypothetical trail of a pterodactyl. According to the info they had at the time they regularly flew hundreds of miles at a time. However, given their size "flapping" took a lot of energy and they were likely masters of updrafts. Floating on warm air essentially. They used coast lines I suppose where warm air was forced up along cliffs. So they could probably fly super far, but not likely over flat water .
Walking With Dinosaurs was amazing! I had it recorded on VHS from when it aired on tv back in the day. Along with the documentary about Big Al the allosaurus. It was so cool to have a dinosaur documentary series that was made like a normal nature documentary and not just experts talking about fossils.
@@Erik_K It was the first DVD's may family had. The only DVD PLAYER we had was on a computer my father had in his office. I'd chill in there watching it so many times
Sorry I’m a massive Dino nerd and kind of pedantic a lot of the time. 😅 The genus in that episode was called Ornithocheirus. The general name for the flying reptiles that lived alongside Dinosaurs is Pterosaurs. Pterodactylus is an individual Pterasaur genus.
Yay, can't wait! This movie may not be the best, but like all the Jurassic park movies, it's still fun! Little kids love the theme "Dinosaurs" in school. It was always one of the favourites, for them and me 😂🤗🦖
Yes Ma'am 🥰🦖 reminds me of the really funny part where the really mean old guy who selfishly left the poor kids trying Soo hard to hide 😥 save himself and Oops 🤭🤣 Rexy 🦖 She knocked over the restroom exposing him he's looking up like NOO PLEASE NOT ME Crunch Bites him up Eat Gobble him 😋 lol 🤭 was actually Really funny wouldn't you like kinda agree with me?
@@bookworm598 We knew for a while, but it was difficult to get people on board with it. But yeah, this was their _"attempt"_ to touch on that even if the quills aren't Feathers.
this is probably my favorite one out of all the jurassic park films, mostly bc of nostalgia but also bc of the pteranodon cage scene (and as a young kid i had a crush on trevor morgan, who plays erik). i still catch myself watching this movie when i feel a little sad, and while this might not be everyone’s favorite, it’s still mine. but i’m so glad you guys are watching this series bc i get to geek out with y’all, keep up the good work!!!
I hope you watch the 2nd trilogy! Are they great? Nope! but are they good old dumb dinosaur fun? Yup! And for one last time: Book time! The river escape and Pterodactyl dome were in the first movie. Glad they found a place to put that in a movie. The whole Raptor egg theft storyline was in the 2nd book. Different characters involved, but the whole plot was there.
Birds leaving their babies because you touched them is actually an old wives tale. It was used to keep children from messing with birds nests/babies/eggs. If you ever find a baby bird on the ground that has little to no feathers, please pick them up and put them back in the nest if you can.
The myth about touching baby birds is actually very untrue. Birds (backyard birds especially) have terrible senses of smell. More often than not, parents are nearby when fledgling birds are on the ground and will still feed them and care for them, even if they can't carry them back to the nest. The myth has more to do with people who linger around the baby bird. If the parent is nearby and the 'threat' wont leave then the parent wont endanger themselves to help their baby. That's why you're supposed to leave them alone. But they couldn't care less about the smell of their babies.
@@julianozaur444 yeah they definitely overuse them. Have you seen the concept are for an unmade Jurassic Park movie it features Highbridge but the difference is they had human DNA inside of them and they all walk on two legs one of them has a gun for a hand hand
I didn’t care for Jurassic World. The original Jurassic Park will always be a classic, Lost World was decent but JP3 was garbage. And like I said I didn’t care for JW
We actually do have some dinosaurs with confirmed colors and patterns like Sinosauropteryx, a relative of the Compy that had feathers (Compy probably had feathers too), it's feathers were a chestnut color with a banded tail and a face mask like a raccoon. Psittacosaurus, a specimen of this dinosaur showed it with a black head, dark brown back and orange belly, and yellow bristles on its tail. Borealopelta, an armored Ankylosaur which was a complete mummy that showed the animal was reddish brown. Even colors from some more bird like dinosaurs like Microraptor having the same color as a crow, Anchiornis having black and white feathers with a red crest of feathers on its head as well as Caihong, which had a head of iridescent feathers. So it's not all guesswork we do have some examples of species with confirmed coloring.
1. While it's true that "velociraptors" were really tiny, about the size of a large cat or small dog, "utahraptors" which were discovered during the time of production, are actually the size of a person as shown in the film. So, while they're called "velociraptors" in the films, they're actually "utahs" but that name didn't sound as scary so "velos" were chosen. 2. For the spino and rex fight, the spino was an animatronic that the crew moved around to fight a CGI rex. The fact that a fish-eating dinosaur killed the t-rex made a lot of fans very unhappy. 3. There was a new skeleton found of spinosaurus. The previous and only pieces of spine that had been discovered were destroyed in WW2 bombings so this half-complete skeleton was a massive find. They discovered that the tail was crocodile-like, leading many scientists to believe that spinosaurus was a mostly aquatic dinosaur that lived in swamps. Additionally, more pieces of the spine were found that suggests the fin on its back was most likely two hills rather than one. It's portrayal in the film is accurate as a water dinosaur. 4. the red dinosaur near the spino dropping is a ceratosaurus :D
Fun fact! This movie is what taught me that pterodactyls are carnivorous 😅 I knew only what the land before time had taught me about dinosaurs, so my initial thoughts during the bird cage scene went from "oh neat a pterodactyl!" To "omg they're going to eat you, run!!!" Definitely like this one better than lost world, having Alan back was great because i knew there was at least one smart person on the team. William H Macy and Téa Leoni were amazing of course too.
I honestly dont know why people are so critical of this film. Its so much better than Jurassic Park 2. The action is non-stop, it has a plausible storyline, the acting is great, the effects are brilliant. Its a great film.
I maintain that there's a movie buried in Jurassic Park 3 that's actually good, and it's about Alan, raptors, and communication. The dinner scene opens with Alan trying to get a parrot-a modern dinosaur-to say his name. On the plane, he dreams about a Velociraptor-an ancient bird-saying his name. In the forest, he witnesses Velociraptors coordinating their search for the thieves that took their eggs. In the labs, he realizes that they have specific purpose-designed calls. In the finale, he buys time with the raptors by using the 3D-printed resonating chamber to "call for help." That arc should have been the core of the movie.
It’s disappointing about Ellie and Alan, but based on the first movie, it’s pretty obvious that they split cause she wanted kids and he didn’t. Both them and Ian are JW3, so this isn’t the last we see of them. Honestly, I prefer JP3 to TLW, but JW1 is my favorite of all 6 movies, so I’m stoked you guys decided to proceed with the rest of the series. 🙂
Here's a detail from the novels. In the first novel, Alan and Ellie were never a couple. Ellie was one of his students. The movies made them a couple, so when Chrichton wrote the sequel novel to provide material for Spielberg's sequel film (much of which was never used), he introduced some retcons to kinda align the plot with movie details. There it is revealed that at some point Alan and Ellie were in a brief relationship, but she married someone elese. Then in the third movie they used that separation to help push Alan towards making the journey to the islands again. And fans have been salty ever since.
JP3 was ultimately plagued by a lot of stuf in production and it shows in the final product. Still I have a lot of nostalgia for this movie still even though quality wise it doesnt live up to the original movie. I would recommend watching the Jurassic World movies if you're a fan of the franchise. I dont think they're amazing but they're entertaining in their own way imo, and they have their moments.
12:41 there's a theory that it's not the same Spinosaurse and the first one on screen was killed when the plane got blood on the windshield. And the Spino chasing them throughout the movie is hunting them for revenge of their mate.
I think this movie gets a lot of undeserved hate. It's not bad, it's just not as good as the first two and especially the first one. For me it's mainly because the characters are not as likeable, except for Eric, and Alan of course. Ellie is barely in it and I reacted the same way you did when I realised she was married to another guy! But that's why you NEED to watch all the Jurassic World movies. I think at least the first Jurassic World is considered generally better than this one but I think the second one is just as good and the third one, while it was a bit overhyped, it's still enjoyable because the OGs are back. Btw, I had such a crush on Trevor Morgan who plays Eric and James reminds me a bit of him! I also suggest another movie with him called The Glass House. Stellan Skarsgård also stars in it, who you've seen in Pirates of the Caribbean and Mamma Mia, and he's so creepy in it.
14:49 The Spinosaurus V T-Rex fight scene was supposed to have animatronics involved, but it had been delayed and rewritten because the Spinosaurus animatronic was so powerful that it literally decapitated the T-Rex animatronic, which was the same animatronic from the Lost World, so that is now destroyed, forever. To give you an idea of how powerful it really was, the Spinosaurus’ head alone had a total of 1,000 horsepower in the animatronic parts that control it.
I remember Face-Off so vividly. I used to place bets and even recreate the fights with my clay animals that I sculpted myself. There was something else I wanted to mention, but I forgot what it was. Edit: I finally remembered what it was. I had the JP raptor toys that was like Rock’em Sock’em Robots. They made noises and such. Those dang toys used to jump scare my mom inside their box in my room. Especially at night.
So about velociraptors: an actual “velociraptor” is smaller yes,(in fact on the smaller side comparatively) but there are bigger types of raptors. There’s many types of raptors or “Dromeosaurids” and some are more similar in size to the films. The movie raptors are more like Utahraptors or Dakotaraptors. Oh and they were likely feathered
Fun fact: In the original novel, Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler were NOT romantic partners, but teacher and student, Ellie was engaged to either a lawyer or a doctor. Them being an item is movie only The Spinosaurus kept chasing them because their plane hit him, injuring him, so he wanted revenge on them, as well as he was an abused animal when he was growing up, so he has a special hatred for humans. Apparently the Spinosaurus is a male, he's also described as a T-Rex hunter, intentionally going after Rexes and killing them to establish himself as the apex predator No, Velociraptors were not as big nor were they anywhere nearly as intelligent as they are in the movies. The real raptors were the size of turkeys, and nowhere near as smart as they are described to be
What happened to the boat crew at the beginning, it’s rumored they were both attacked and Eaten… by either Spinosaurs the main villain of the movie or… the Pterodactyl’s or Pteranadons that were free roaming the fog area and saw the boat men trespassing their territory and attacked and killed them possibly grappled them off the boat and drowned them from what I pictured in my mind on how they got out of the boat. Sadly they drove the boat to the wrong area. The reason why I think there was smoke is either due to volcanic activity below the water or… somebody had did an illegal leak dumping of some kind of chemical material or gasoline tank. Probably by inGen before the Hurricane hit the island, which they say is why the island’s laboratory was left abandoned.
So, as Stella mentioned, yes, it is a common and very accepted theory that Spinosaurus and Baryonyx ate fish, wich is related to the phenomenon of ecological niches: to coexist, species develop different adaptations to serve their functional roles in a system, so fish eaters usually develop long snouts (In mammals: dolphins; in reptiles: crocodiles; in birds: pelicans, cranes, storks, boobies and cormorants), so the shape of their faces was probably related to said function
19:16 in the Junior novelization it’s specified that Ben broke his neck trying to get himself down. Eric realized he was on his own when his step-dad didn’t answer his shouts, after the boy sees the adult fall a few feet and stop suddenly, hearing a loud snapping sound and Ben going limp.
Yes Ma'am Jurassic Park 😍 Amazing Movie 💖 I'm just seeing this now and hey remember that funny part where the really mean old guy who selfishly left the poor kids trying Soo hard to hide 😥 save himself and Oops 🤭🤣 Rexy She knocked over the restroom exposing him Bites him up Eat Gobble him 😋 lol it was actually Really funny wouldn't you like kinda agree with me?
Glad you guys are continuing the series, I actually love every movie & can’t wait for y’all to finish! Set spoiler (kinda) for Jurassic World… So, I feel like you’re gonna ask or wonder, & I was an extra in Jurassic world and yes the park area with all the stores & shops were practical. That part was filmed in the abandoned six flags in Louisiana and there were TONS of extras. We had to use a password they sent in the email the morning of filming to get into the park. We did SO much running and walking. Everything leading up to the stairs was real & behind the double doors was a green screen but the water area & other scenes were not filmed on that same set. Also the actors were pretty cool, since we all spent so many hours running & sweating together they sat w us in between takes and were really humble, especially CP. It was the middle of a hot Louisiana summer 🥵🥵 and we had to wait until the sun was brightest and there were no clouds in the sky. But they kept us very well fed and hydrated. In between every single take they had set crew coming to hand out water, gatorades and snacks. We got breakfast every morning & lunch. Margaritaville was real lol but the drinks weren’t. I’ve been on many sets but to this day, this was still the best one! You could tell that everyone part of this film, cast & crew loved their job, they were so pleasant. And the budget was huge, they treated their extras very well & at the end they let us keep the wrist bands from the park. I can’t find mine anymore tho lol
It sucks that Billy's mindset was the equivalent of I'm going to rob a gas station because tomorrow's Christmas and I don't have the money to put presents under the tree. As far as the base jumping scene with Billy, as long as the canopy does not have a whole basically bigger than your head your typically good to go.
26:18 to answer, yes they did find a mummified Boreapelta, which I believe is a Nodosaur more than an Ankylosaur. They're basically the same thing though with minor differences. Nodosaurs didn't have club tails.
I’m cannon there’s 3 “tribes” of raptors in the first 3 movies, tribe 1 raptors are the ones from the first 2 movies and tribe 2 is from jp3, tribe 3 however is technically both cannon and non cannon as it was part of the Jurassic world dominion promo website dino tracker showing that the third tribe was hybrids of the tiger stripe from 1-2 and the jp3 raptors
Crazy Fun fact: during filming the T. rex vs Spinosaurus fight, they indeed used animatronics for it like the original T. rex animatronic. But during filming the fight, it went sideways because the spinosaurus animatronic was so powerful that ripped the T. rex animatronics head off, so they had to fully CGI the fight! Also the reason the Spino went after the humans was because they hit his fin with the plane while airborne, and if you see in split second frame before it cuts to the blood soaked windshield there was blood spilling from the fin on the right side of the screen, which generally really pissed him off. Also you can a small wound on his leg which by means the plane’s wheels hit him.
Quick thinking Stella at like 27:20, about spinosaurus as a semiaquatic dinosaur. But that wasnt actually known about spinosaurus back when the movie was made. I think the first speciman that helped us think about that was found in 2014, long after the movie. Originally, spinosaurus was mostly known from some teeth and drawings of vertebrea, skull and ribs. The first original speciman was destroyed during WW2, coz it was stored in a museum in Munich, Germany. The function of the sail is still unknown. I think ive read about some simulations last year, in which the sail was actually not really functioning in a hydrodynamic way. If spinosaurus were to roll in the water, the authors of the paper stated that the drag of the sail would actually be an obstacle to get the animal upright again in a fully submerged state. So there is still a lot of mystery to spinosaurus. For all we know the spines could be attachments for a hump of fat, like a buffalo or camel's. What we do know though, is that its tail was actually a flat rudder, and its hindlimbs were about as short as its arms, so it was likely mostly a quadruped, maybe facultatively able to move as a biped, but it was quite top heavy. All in all longer than T-Rex, and maybe heavier, but definitely not taller. I just wanna state though that the JP spinosaurus was a pretty fair depiction for its time. We didnt have the fossils back then, and we couldnt have assumed it to be this strange for a theropod dinosaur.
Yo im genuinely impressed by how grounded some of your comments are, in regards to the colours/feathers, and even the Spinos murderous intent, as it is a Hybrid
This is the move that I like the most off all the series, maybe it was the introduction of new dinosaurs or the idea that a kid was able to survive alone. As a kid I wanted to feel like I would do the same haha (death the next day). And even if many people critique the new 3 movies, I still like them and are worth watching.
All the kids in Jurassic Park movies are super heroes. 1 : Dinosaur genius and hacker 2 : Olympic gymnast 3 : Tarzan with super hearing and stealth Jurassic World - it all continues.
31:00 That whole bird myth is false. They will however leave the nest if they believe you're a threat so it's not necessarily that they smell you on the babies when especially since birds sense of smell is not that good, but the actuality is you being a threat. Which I guess you could say you still shouldn't mess with the babies for that reason but the whole thing about your scent being on the bird or the egg and causing the bird to abandon them is completely and utterly false
All I can say is, despite all, that I hold this trilogy very close to my heart because I watched all 3 of them in the theater and pretty much shaped my childhood (I was like 4 when the 1st one came out and it scared me so much I left the theater without telling my parents 😅 I just decided to wait for them at the parking lot). I'm so curious to watch your reaction to the Jurassic World ones 🤭
JP3 is a carbon copy of the first movie, but worse: - Helicopter shot of flying to the island - Vehicle stuck in a tree with people in it - Closeup shot of the primary dino's foot stomping in the mud - Crushing a vehicle with people in it - Guy and woman pushes on a door together to keep a raptor out - Running through a stampede - Raptor jumps up and bites at the camera - Audio cue for primary dino - Digging through poop - Dino attack in the rain, at night - Flares - Surrounded by raptors in final action scene
Yes Ma'am lol Jurassic Park 😍 Amazing Movie I'm just seeing this now and hey remember that funny part where the really mean old guy who selfishly left the poor kids trying Soo hard to hide 😥 save himself and Oops 🤭🤣 Rexy 🦖 knocked over the restroom exposing him Bites him up Eat Gobble him 😋 lol it was actually Really funny wouldn't you agree with me?
The Spinosaurus is one of my top 3 favorites alongside Mosasaurus and Therizinosaurus! Fun Fact: The Spinosaurus and T Rex existed in separate eras; it's impossible for them to have gotten against each other in real life.
Also different climates AND continants if I remember. Tyrannosaurus was indigenous to modern North America, and would have lived in forests and grasslands. Spinosaurus _Aegypticus_ unsurprisingly lived around Egypt and central europe, and it's semi aquatic nature meant it would have lived in Jungles and Marshes with lots of access to rivers.
@leiderhosen7110 Ye I learned about that too. So cool how they inhabitated Egypt. Spino even had a very complicated history of being discovered, preserved, and identified.
Therizinosaurus is so amazing and the best examble how much knowledge the scientist still gain from digging up dinosaurs. In my newest Dinosaursenzyklopedia from the early 2000s Therizinosaurus is mantioned but the designed is awkward since they only had founnd the claws and part of it's ribchaged but they already knew it had feathers. Now there are even Therizinosaurus-Toys.
Jurassic Park 3 may not have been the best Jurassic Park movie, but it has the most sentimental value to me because it was the first movie in the jurassic franchise I ever watched. Also, I have this movie to thank for making Spinosaurus one of my favourite dinosaurs.
Fun fact- Much of the raptors at the nest, and the Spinosaur boat/plane attack sequences were done entirely with practical effects, minus a shot or two
Eh... there are 2 CGI Spinosaurus shots before the plane even crashes. I count at least 11 before the characters run into the T-Rex. I didn't look at the other scenes.
@@sawanna508 when Jurassic park was written the name deinonychus didn't exist, they were considered a second species of velociraptor, so the size is actually very close to what it ought to be, the animals name simply changed
Spinosaurus is semi-aquatic. I'm proud to say that most everything that I know about dinosaurs came from a book when I was a kid (All About Dinosaurs) and watching "Dinosaur Train" with my daughter when she was younger.
The Utahraptor is the larger raptor as depicted in the first two. As figured from skeleton analysis after this film, the Spinosaurus didn't have a strong bite force like the T Rex which had a massive bite force. The spinosaurus was probably mostly in water and slower moving and probably couldn't take a T Rex. It's figured a powerful Rex bite would be enough.
@@kanethesevenfootmonster868 NO way, read how Spiny was a fish eater with a bite force not even close to Trex and less mobile out of water. Sounds like you don't know anything.
The brief scene on the river with the brachiosaurus pack and the classic music in it still gets me every time; goosebumps, hair standing on end, wonder and awe. It's my favorite scene of this movie.
I know it's not as good as the original or the sequel, but I absolutetly loved it. The whole birdcage scene gave me nightmares for months for some reason lol But the biggest ressentment of anyone who ever watched this movies is absolutelly Alan and Ellie not getting together.
Funny personal story with watching this movie years ago. It was on TV, and we get to the Kirby reunion scene and the Spinasaurus shows up, phone jingling. During the next commercial break, my dad's work phone goes off with the same ringtone. I jumped about a foot off the couch.
I always loved this movie, just as much as the 1st one. It had some incredible moments (like the birdcage which is one of the most terrifying parts of the entire series) and I just love me my Spiney
Guys the dinosaur with the one horn is called a Ceratosaurus it looks like the carnotarus but with one horn and smaller black and red stripped that’s what it’s called if that helped with anything your welcome.
I've said it before, Jurassic Park III is the Jurassic Park equivalent of a B movie - when seen through that lense, it's easy enough to switch your brain off and enjoy. I have to admit, I really enjoyed the subplot of Alan struggling with his lifestyle following living dinosaurs being public knowledge, and that puts Billy's actions into a new perspective. I wish the film had focused more on them, to be honest. And Ellie, being a paleobotanist, could have had more to do as well. I do like that they introduced new animals as well, and they did something interesting and new with the raptors (I think the paler colour is meant to indicate sexual dimorphism). I have to say though, whilst it was introduced to have a new mega theropod, having it take out the T.rex felt a bit fanboyish, and unfortunately, led to Jurassic World relying too much on dinosaur battles. It feeling thrown together and not playing enough with interesting concepts definitely makes me see it as the weakest of the original Jurassic trilogy. Couple of fun dino facts - for what was being said about the colour, in recent years, some exquisitely preserved fossils have contained traces of pigment, and we've been able to extrapolate some dinosaur colourings from them. My favourite example is Sinosauropteryx, a small carnivore from China, which had an orange and white banded tail, which makes it an adorable necessity to any future dinosaur franchise. And recent research on Spinosaurus have discovered it to be well-suited to a semi-aquatic lifestyle, with shorter hindlegs than shown here, but a massive paddle-like tail. It was absolutely vast, likely the largest theropod, and though its diet was mostly fish, this included fish the size of cars.
Do you like this or Jurassic World better??
I love all the Jurassic films.
Jurassic world is 🔥🔥
Jurassic World is miles better, 2nd best after Jurassic Park.
Give a try to All 3 Jurassic Worlds, atl very least Jurassic World will be worth it and other two are good time pass too.
Love all of them
Honestly the only really good JP film is the first one, hands down.
I feel like The Lost World had some good moments in it. Everything that came afterwards is just meh.
"Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions", that quote has stuck with me because Grant's not exactly wrong
Same, it's such an iconic line! Dr Grant is so incredibly wise. It's along the same lines as "Cool motive. Still murder"
@@bookworm598 It really brings Megatron of the Decepticons to mind for me. Most depictions have him start out rebelling against the government of Cybertron because he wanted to fight for the rights of the lower class. Look at how that always turns out
it's based on the old idiom "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
Reminds me of the wizards second rule “The greatest harm can result from the best intentions”
@@PridamBro got high out of his mind on that Dark Energon. Don’t do drugs kids!😂
Shout outs to Stella knowing her dinosaur names and showing such interest and wonder towards dinosaurs. I fell in love with dinos when i saw the first Jurassic park on vhs at home lol i love dinosaurs so much i got a Spinosaurus tattoo haha. Loved the reaction! keep it up guys!
It’s Stella.
@Ernesto Chacon lmao they introduce themselves everytime and I still messed up her name lol
Shes really good! the only one they didn't get was the Ceratosaurus, which was one of my favourites as a kid. I was so happy to see it in Operation Genesis and then JW Evolution.
The reason for these raptors looking different is that they are a separate subspecies (the tiger striped ones are lowland raptors while the ones in these are highland raptors)
Also the ones with the blue stripes are males and the only spotted one is a female
Stella on CGI: "the technology is a lot better, but the way we apply it is a lot sloppier". This is so true. I think corporate profit motives and rushed production contribute heavily toward this. Movies (in general) are increasingly more quantity over quality. This is why its harder to find timeless classics in more recent years.
Truth. Honestly the first two JP movies could be a master class in how the way you use CG is arguably more important than how "good" your CG is. The first Jurassic World had some of the most cutting edge CGI of its time, but even now it's already starting to feel a little dated. You don't "feel" like you're watching dinosaurs, you feel like you're watching CG dinosaurs. Meanwhile there are some shots in the first JP movie where you go "Oh yeah! That's some old ass CGI!" but for the most part you don't care because it's used with such care and craft that you still feel immersed in what you're watching, you know?
The bit w/ the velociraptor saying “Alan” was a callback to earlier when Alan tried getting the parrot to his name.
Omg YOU’RE RIGHT 💀 I honestly never noticed that
@@IFMIStupidFoxbad editing is why you didn’t notice it lol.
It still doesn't make sense, Alan hadn't seen the quilled raptors before.
That dream scene i bet chris pratt’s character in Jurassic world would be so proud of alan grant for that
@@milesbradshaw6643 Retcon. It's not an adaptation. It's a design change. It makes no logical sense for Grant to remember another type of Raptor after their design was changed. Think about it. (People will give various reasons for the design change but the only factual answer is that their designs changed as new information came out and new crews wanting their own take on the design. That's it.)
The scene in the aviary and the scene on the river are both taken from the first JP novel. The differences being that the aviary had Cearadactylus (who weren't strong enough to pick up even a child), while it was the T. rex that swam after the raft (they also passed by a pair of Dilophosaurus doing a mating dance, and trees full of Microceratus).
Oh I actually like that then!
I didn't know that a t-rex could swim
@@afellownerdthe books version of Jurassic park was very horror especially the raft scene with the T. rex swimming
@@whitenoisereacts hello.i would prefer you have to watch the time machine 2002
Funny thing about the T-Rex is that a lot of research posits that they would have been very good swimmers and might have actually been able to use water to ambush prey. It's been theorized for the longest time that, due to the body plan of the Rex, it wouldn't have been a good endurance hunter. So a lot of theories have been put forward for various ambush tactics.
Being able to swim well would have made it a pretty damn scary son of a bitch :D
The common theory on why the spino was particularly mad at the people was for 1) experiments it endured and 2) holding a grudge for getting shot at and clipping it’s sail before the plane crashed. Animals IRL can hold grudges and remember faces. Such as crows and tigers.
I can totally see that being the case. Raptors couldnt be the only one with recognition
The experiment sin question is also why it looks a lot different than the real world versions due to an incomplete fossil record and the "under the table" breeding of it.
The Jurassic World web page is the only place that tells of this in detail, and according to it all the info on the website is cannon so yeah. It was basically an early hybrid attempt.
Another reason could be that it ate humans and thought they tasted good.
It’s already been stated that it was experimented on for the first 9 month (?) of its life (most likely painful and torture to test aggression). It’s also been stated it’s not “pure” and was part of an experiment called the “amalgamation testing” or something along those lanes which would explain its appearance. Camp Cretaceous S4 even has a line from a character saying it hates humans (the same Spino in this movie is on that season). It’s a pretty mysterious dinosaur lore wise. iirc in this movie the Spino is 3 years old and was still growing bc in cc s4 is nearly 46 to 50 feet in length. Darius’s model and the Spino was released in a size comparison chart and people did calculations to get the size which is bigger than the jp3 size chart.
@@erickchristensen746 Being an early hybrid makes a lot of sense because that would likely make him unstable.
The Spinosaurus is honestly the main reason why this film became so divisive among fans of the franchise. They decided to make Spinosaurus the main villain because at the time, it was a very poorly known Dinosaur (the only major specimen that had ever been found of it was accidentally destroyed by a World War II Allied bombing raid). Unfortunately, its portrayal in this film created a huge amount of backlash, especially in the scene where it killed a T-Rex so easily. More research on Spinosaurus since the film came out has shown just how inaccurate the film's portrayal of it was. The TRUE Spinosaurus was a Dinosaur that spent most of its life in the water and primarily hunted fish (it also would have been DEAD after that first bite from T-Rex). The real Spinosaurus has turned out to be so different than what Jurassic Park 3 portrayed it as that the filmmakers have actually had to go back into the lore and completely retcon the Spino's story to make it a Dinosaur whose genetic code was HEAVILY edited and experimented on by InGen. As a result of all this experimentation, and even honestly some torture as well, the InGen Spinosaurus REALLY hated humans, which is where this "murderous intent" that you see in the film comes from.
Hit the nail on the head there. The Spinosaurus was the first step in experiment Indominus. Indominus Rex is the final result of this little science project. It's design was accurate though to what we thought it looked like in the time when this movie eas shot. The aqua Spinosaurus is quite recent and long after this movie was made
@@DiscusvissenRockenHave to admit one of the things I actually *liked* about this and Jurassic World were Dr. Grant and then Dr. Wu pointing out that further discoveries confirmed all the gene editing they had to do really did make grotesque amusement park monsters rather than even semi-accurate recreations. Wrong sizes, mishapened flesh, absent feathers, etc. Ret-con or not it was a decent enough way to nod at all of the previous guesses and creative liberties.
@@Knight-Bishop the only real creative liberty was the Velociraptor naming since the actual real world Velociraptor was the size of a 6 foot turkey ( yeah the fat kid was actually right!). other than that they actually kept true to the novels and had good reasoning as to why the dinosaurs aren't 100% accurate: the genetic crossing made inaccurate dinosaurs with genetic defects, like the blind T rex (if it was 100% paleo accurate it would deffo know you're there even if you'd stay still, and it would also smell you). the Dilophosaurus that attacks Nedry was a juvenile in the novel hence why it is so small, and yeah Wu sums up why the dinosaurs aren't 100% paleo accurate, it is because of the gene mixing with amphibians and other modern animals instead of a 100% accurate genome for each dinosaur.
I agree with the lack of base founding for their spinosaurus. but I mean it's like the T rex going 32 miles an hour I'll allow it.
@@DiscusvissenRocken yeah they could have called the Raptors, Deinonychus which is much more accurte in size but i guess having people trying to say it would have been harder so they made a branding choice,,,,, huh just like ingen
I’m going to be honest, but this was my first Jurassic Park film I saw in theaters and even if this wasn’t everyone’s favorite JP film it did help most of us who were born in the mid-late 1990’s to watch the other films in the franchise before Jurassic World came out 14 years later, plus I love that the Pteranodon plays a larger role in this as their one of my favorite Dinosaur, even though its a Pterosaur.
In addition, it was good to see Sam Neil and Laura Dern as Dr. Alan Grant and Ellie in the film, the former in much larger role and we wouldn’t even see them again until _Jurassic World Dominion_ 21 years later.
The same goes for me this the first Jurassic Park movie I saw in theaters despite the fact this movie has got a bad reputation among fans it did introduce most popular dinosaurs in the franchise the spinosaurus and I love the new designs of the velociraptors
Same, i still have my old CD-Rom and all of that minor lagging at certain scene then i had to blow some wind and clean just to fix it.
Ahh...the good old days
I love this film.
This movie is fantastic I don’t understand why it gets hate I’ve always found it a very entertaining movie.
41:02 did no one connect that the helicopter noise in the background was noticed by the veloceraptors and the veloceraptors let them go because of the noise?
Edit: also I thought that when Alan made the veloceraptor calls, the veloceraptors couldn't understand him and one was going for the kill until the female/white one stopped them and that's when they heard the helicopter. They thought Alan called for reinforcements just like one of the veloceraptors did in the lab, and because of how loud the helicopter was, they didn't want to deal with that and left with their eggs.
That's such an awesome take and now that is canon!
No they didn't notice
I noticed that when I first saw this movie as a kid. It's just obvious.
In fact, the way I saw it: The first call made no sense and quite possibly sounded like a provocation. The second sound they recognised as "I'm in trouble. Help me" and so some of them were ready to shut them up. Hearing a noise that they didn't recognise: They decided it wasn't worth their trouble and should just take what they came for.
I honestly didn't know there would be anyone out there that would interpret the scene any differently. It just seems so obvious.
Definitely recommend finishing off the whole series just to see what you guys think. It's intersting to see people watch all of these so close together, as opposed to growing up with them and waiting years between releases.
I concur!
And also because Fallen Kingdom is so bonkers
The raptors in the movie are based on Deinonychus which was the size of those in the films. Velociraptors were the size of a turkey. Apparently, Spielberg thought Velociraptor was a better fit. Interestingly, a then new species, Utahraptor, was discovered right as the first movie was released. It was twice the size of the raptors depicted in the movie. As one scientist noted, Utahraptor may have been "the most vicious animal that ever lived".
All the Jurassic films were equally enjoyable for me that being said the original films carry all nostalgia feels for me, as for the reboot Chris and Bryce together were a very charismatic and entertaining duo and really enjoyed their dynamic throughout.
Really? I thought that Pratt's and Howard's characters were too weak to carry a trilogy.
@@DannX68 i think they had just enough on-screen presence to be entertaining to watch. I agree that the character work is... lacking.
I only liked the first 2
Especially Bryce 😊
@@bryondavis2173 Her character was shittily written. The writers couldn't let go of the 50s man-woman tropes.
Fun fact: Billy was supposed to die, but test audience didn't like it so they decided to show Billy survived, Also if your interested there's a book about how Eric survived on the island I can't remember the title though
Edit : it's called jurassic park adventures survivor
Apparently the actor who played Billy, Alessandro Nivola criticized the film and his characters survival in 2002: _"It was like the only part I've ever done that just had nothing for me to latch on to, character-wise. [...] It was kind of maddening"_
i mean, how did he make it back before the others and how would the military get him before he died. It didn't make sense. Not sure why test screenings, didn't like him dying. He didn't have much impact.
@@EChacon wow I didn't know that, that's really interesting.
@@Alphasnowbordergirl exactly, him giving up his life to save Erick would have made his character so much better and a good redemption for Billy.
He should have died. One of the main problems with this movie is the lack of suspense. We knew none of the family members were going to die.
So happy you all continued the journey! I don't think you'll regret it! Hope you enjoyed! :)
Honestly, the public’s reaction and interest in the “real” animals compared to the fossils feels like very true to what’d happen.
True.......
The bird abandoning because of human scent thing is actually a myth 😅😅 most birds don't have a very good sense of smell....for the most part you can just put the baby back in the nest with no problems 😊
Well, I wouldn't say _no problems._
A bird will abandon it's nest if it thinks a predator found it.
These guys don't know shit
Girl on the left seems to know her stuff though.
@@jordanbridges Doesn't change the fact that birds don't have a great sense of smell.
And, if I'm gonna be honest, from some of their reactions in the other Jurassic films, I'd be surprised if any of them actually graduated High School.
This movie had a lot of production problems behind the scenes, involving the original script, which was immediately thrown out before filming had begun:
It was going to involve a couple of teenagers surviving a plane crash on Isla Sorna on their way to the Galapagos to meet their families.
They encounter a strange hermit living in a treehouse, who turns out to be none other than Alan Grant, having snuck onto the island to study the dinosaurs in their habitat. The plot would later be the basis for JURASSIC WORLD: Camp Cretaceous.
The Spinosaurus was written into the film on to be the main baddy. Baryonyx was considered to be the villain before the producers settled on Spinosaurus.
The T-Rex animatronic used in the film had it's head torn right off during the first take.
The actors suffered a lot of cuts and bruises and the makeup artists had to cover up the actual cuts to their face or hand to make it more authentic.
See Alan Grant going back to the island that doesn’t even sound believable lmfao. So that one would’ve been way worse.
It was also going to feature human/dinosaur hybrids at one point in the development process. Thank God that got scrapped early on.
@@OPrime_RollsOut i heard that too when production for jurassic world had begun. Saw some Lizardman pics on the internet that were considered to be the hybrids. It said that they would build like dino soldiers and stuff 😂
I still hope for a dino riders movie or series 😊
@@amber.ren_1995 They also had a much better alternative plot with half the movie taking place on the islands and the other half taking place on the main land investigating sightings of dinosaurs as well as dead dinosaurs that washed up on shore (it followed the novels a bit better in those regards).
I believe Grant in that treatment was leading the investigation of the sightings on the mainland in that one but the details are foggy since its been a few years since i saw the information.
@@Darnakas that was more the treatment for JP4 that never got off the ground that spielberg wanted made and some of the elements (like weaponizing dinosaurs and mosasaur playing a role) made it into the new trilogy.
My one thing with movies is always "just don't bore me"; as long as I'm mildly entertained, I'm good, and can look past plot holes & other stuff~ And I consider all the Jurassic movies to accomplish that on some level^.^
Omg yes I’m that same way as well! I’m not normally super picky. As long as it’s entertaining enough and of course the storyline not too absurd. And I’m cool with it.
4:48 "They had kids!!!" Man. I remember having the same excitement and joy over the fate of two of my favorite characters. Shame it hit the rocks harder than the speedboat in the intro less than 2 minutes later. This movie has a lot of issues, but for me the biggest is that Ellie and Alan didn't wind up together, and honestly, the only reason I can see for that decision was so that Alan could have someone to call for help at the end of the movie. Easily could've been written differently, maybe Ellie couldn't accompany him to the island as she was pregnant with their next child, just anything besides this trite story. Especially as, (SPOILER ALERT) they wind up together in JW3 anyway!
Funny enough, Grant and Ellie being in a relationship was movie only. In the original novel, they genuinely were just teacher/student, and Ellie was engaged to a doctor/lawyer
They kind of touch on this in the first movie when Alan is teaching the kid about how raptors hunt at start of the movie. Then when Ellie and Alan are talking about kids (right before Hammond shows up) Ellie says that she wants kids someday but Alan never says he wants them. Futhermore he even actively avoids Hammonds grandkids when possible at the start of the "tour". So it's not a far leap to assume that Alan doesn't want kids but Ellie does and that would basis for them not staying together.
Well I mean. She clearly wanted kids and he clearly didn't. That is a big deal breaker for a lot of people.
@@PyroMaster87 Yes, but his whole character arc in the first movie seemed to revolve around looking after the kids and possibly warming up to the idea.
All good points. And I did rather enjoy the book. Guess partly I'm just salty about the way things spun out for them in JW3. It didn't strike me as a well thought out decision. But that is, just my opinion man. ;)
Fun fact. The spino is known to be the first hybrid dinosaur in the films. Which is why it's so intelligent,it holds grudges. It chased the protagonistes because they hit its sail with the plane
You do realized the Spino being a hybrid was debunked right? The Scorpios was the first true hybrid, not just confirmed by Camp Cretaceous, but by Colin too
Isn't the Spinosaurus a real dino?
Spinosaurus WAS NOT the First hybrid, this is a misconception, Spinosaurus was just a dinosaur created in the Amalgam Testings on Isla Sorna in the year 1999
Scorpios Rex was the First hybrid
I feel like you all should watch the Jurassic World series. Mostly because the last one brings back the old cast and has the new cast. So it is a ton of fun and nice to see Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm and what they have been up to.
Shame it flopped
@@sushi513 I actually liked it. I mean, it wasn't the best, but it was still fun to watch.
@@meganlodon That's fair, everyone has their opinions. I was just a bit disappointed when I walked out of the cinema, but it had its moments.
Yeah they definitely should watch it all
@@sushi513 yeah i guess that’s because they took abit too long to bring the old cast back and by then the younger generation didn’t know who the heck they were lol
When I was younger, this was my favorite out of the entire series. I never cared for 2 so I would always rewatch 1 and 3. I finally rewatched 3 last year (after about a decade) and while not as great as I remember, I still enjoy it and it's still my favorite out of the series. I think it's the birdcage and the entire phone/water sequence that make me love this movie so much.
I completely agree. I was also fascinated by the kid surviving on his own (like peter pan and the lost boys, i had thought)
@@Cantmakeupmymindonaname Yes! I was not expecting him to have survived so that was a cool surprise as well.
The weirdest part of this franchise is that the animated Netflix series Camp Cretaceous - for kids - is more lore accurate and more true to Crichton's themes than every movie after 2. And it's based off of Jurassic World, not even the book.
I think the issue here directors and writers like to put their own touch on the productions instead of follow it to the letter to not exclude creativity which is understandable but unfortunately sometimes they take it too far away from the original book or game material and it destroys the very essence that fans liked about it in the first place! So i guess balance is always key when it comes to adaptations.
CC is my favourite thing to come out of the franchise in the last 5 years. The story is really cool, I love the characters once you get past some of the slightly cringey dialogue in the first few episodes, and it really does a good job of incorporating lore from the books and other media.
@@ry_jayy The first 3 seasons were great, season 4 was terrible and season 5 was disgusting.
CC's good but got a bit too long, especially concerning the supporting characters. It took to the camp counselors & big brother way too long to take action.
I also enjoyed the connections they made to the movies and how some of the story is set during the events of Jurassic world and shortly after. I only watched the first 2 seasons so im not sure if there was further connection after that
Another terrific reaction! I can’t wait for the Jurassic World reaction! Believe it or not the original script involved teenagers getting trapped on the Isla Sorna where the meet a hermit which was Grant who had snuck over to study the dinosaurs. If you’re looking for more dinosaurs films I gotta recommend Disney’s Dinosaurs, The Land Before Time, and We’re Back! A Dinosaur Story.
🦖🦕
I remember watching this in the cinema, nearly 22 years ago, with my older sister and my mum......good memories.
I remember people used to complain about this one having the shortest running time throughout the franchise
So do they just check how long the older films were then whine and complain about it ?! LoOl
My grandmother took me to this movie I still remember lol
Chef Nourhan Malik🍃 Jurassic Park is a bit over 2 hours long and The Lost World is around 2 hours and 10 minutes. So JP3, which clocks in at around 1 hour 30 minutes, could feel a decent bit shorter.
Though, apart from marathoning the whole trilogy back to back, I'm not sure how noticeable the run time difference actually is.
@@TheMaskedChef7 It used to be that longer run times were common in action & drama films and short run times were for comedy and romance. So when this film wasn't as good as the previous ones (for several reasons), length was a good thing to point at and use as short-hand for "this director doesn't know action films". Which is ludicrous since Johnston is responsible for the original Jumanji, but it was low-hanging fruit for detractors.
@@TheMaskedChef7 Or re-watch the previous two movies before seeing this one.
I really liked this movie as a child, it still holds a special place in my heart. I was bummed when people said bad things about it
True Me Too!!!!!!!
I really love the new designs for the dinosaurs here, they’re so colourful in contrast to the dull browns and greens in the previous films. Especially the sexual dimorphism on display here (though the dull browns made sense given females of avians are typically duller that those of the males, but I digress).
At least the raptors in TLW were tiger striped
Cameron Jim, This is not only "new desing" search pls this: (Amalgam testing) the dino of isla sorna is DR Who and Ingen Amalgam testing final results
27:20 To answer your question, yup Spineys are actually a widley debated dinosaur as newer and newer fossils keep getting found. First they were just a larger than a t-rex bipedal dinosaur. Then people determined there large forelimbs meant they were mostl ikely quadrupeds. Then it was determined their jaw structure was better suited for catching fish. Then back to being bipedal, and most recently from what I can recall it was discovered that they actually had much larger wider tails that resembled fins or crocodile tails. So it's assume they were water-based predators... but i'm probably missing things for this.
There may be a lot of criticism and hate for this movie but this one is my second favorite in the franchise.
Same here, in fact this was my first Jurassic Park film I saw in theaters.
also in the book it is described in detail that the guy protected the boy by wrapping his body around the kid to shield him from the impact of the tree branches which broke many bones and caused internal bleeding and that even though he was telling the boy those last words at the end and that everything was going to be okay both he and the boy knew he wasn't since the guy was kinda choking on his own blood and he eventually lost to his injuries and critters feasted on him for the next 8 weeks
21:53 The raptors is this movie are a different breed known as the Highland Velociraptors. The ones from the previous movies are known as the Lowland Velociraptors.
There was a docu-series ages ago called "Walking With Dinosaurs" that followed a hypothetical trail of a pterodactyl. According to the info they had at the time they regularly flew hundreds of miles at a time. However, given their size "flapping" took a lot of energy and they were likely masters of updrafts. Floating on warm air essentially. They used coast lines I suppose where warm air was forced up along cliffs. So they could probably fly super far, but not likely over flat water .
Walking With Dinosaurs was amazing! I had it recorded on VHS from when it aired on tv back in the day. Along with the documentary about Big Al the allosaurus. It was so cool to have a dinosaur documentary series that was made like a normal nature documentary and not just experts talking about fossils.
@@Erik_K It was the first DVD's may family had. The only DVD PLAYER we had was on a computer my father had in his office. I'd chill in there watching it so many times
Sorry I’m a massive Dino nerd and kind of pedantic a lot of the time. 😅 The genus in that episode was called Ornithocheirus. The general name for the flying reptiles that lived alongside Dinosaurs is Pterosaurs. Pterodactylus is an individual Pterasaur genus.
Yeah, The Spinosaurus There Is The Most Accurate Reconstruction.......
It was an Ornithocheirus (an oversized one)
Pterodactyl isn't even a real pterosaur
You probably mean the tiny Jurassic pterosaur called PterpdactylUS
Yay, can't wait! This movie may not be the best, but like all the Jurassic park movies, it's still fun! Little kids love the theme "Dinosaurs" in school. It was always one of the favourites, for them and me 😂🤗🦖
Yes Ma'am 🥰🦖 reminds me of the really funny part where the really mean old guy who selfishly left the poor kids trying Soo hard to hide 😥 save himself and Oops 🤭🤣 Rexy 🦖 She knocked over the restroom exposing him he's looking up like NOO PLEASE NOT ME Crunch Bites him up Eat Gobble him 😋 lol 🤭 was actually Really funny wouldn't you like kinda agree with me?
I have a lot of nostalgia for this movie I’ve seen it so many times and regardless of outside criticism I genuinely love this movie so much.
Hands down this movie has my favorite velociraptor designs both the male and female.
Wasn't this after scientists discovered that they would have had feathers/more color, so they added that for this film?
@@bookworm598 We knew for a while, but it was difficult to get people on board with it.
But yeah, this was their _"attempt"_ to touch on that even if the quills aren't Feathers.
this is probably my favorite one out of all the jurassic park films, mostly bc of nostalgia but also bc of the pteranodon cage scene (and as a young kid i had a crush on trevor morgan, who plays erik). i still catch myself watching this movie when i feel a little sad, and while this might not be everyone’s favorite, it’s still mine. but i’m so glad you guys are watching this series bc i get to geek out with y’all, keep up the good work!!!
Please continue reacting/reviewing the rest of the Jurassic movies. I can't wait to see your reactions to Jurassic World.... Roaaaaar!
I hope you watch the 2nd trilogy! Are they great? Nope! but are they good old dumb dinosaur fun? Yup!
And for one last time: Book time!
The river escape and Pterodactyl dome were in the first movie. Glad they found a place to put that in a movie.
The whole Raptor egg theft storyline was in the 2nd book. Different characters involved, but the whole plot was there.
Birds leaving their babies because you touched them is actually an old wives tale. It was used to keep children from messing with birds nests/babies/eggs. If you ever find a baby bird on the ground that has little to no feathers, please pick them up and put them back in the nest if you can.
It makes sense, given Ellie and Alan’s experience w/ the raptors. Alan kept to his work while Ellie wanted to settle down. Makes sense.
The myth about touching baby birds is actually very untrue. Birds (backyard birds especially) have terrible senses of smell. More often than not, parents are nearby when fledgling birds are on the ground and will still feed them and care for them, even if they can't carry them back to the nest. The myth has more to do with people who linger around the baby bird. If the parent is nearby and the 'threat' wont leave then the parent wont endanger themselves to help their baby. That's why you're supposed to leave them alone. But they couldn't care less about the smell of their babies.
You guys NEED to watch Jurassic World!
It brings back the T.Rex from Jurassic Park 1, it’s an absolute BEAST of a film!
I love that movie tell me how do you feel about the hybrid
@@animezilla4486 I hate how they overused them. Indominus is okay but putting hybrid in every other movie/series later 😑
@@julianozaur444 yeah they definitely overuse them. Have you seen the concept are for an unmade Jurassic Park movie it features Highbridge but the difference is they had human DNA inside of them and they all walk on two legs one of them has a gun for a hand hand
@@animezilla4486 yes. I don't think I'd like it tho. Tbh the first time I saw scorpio standing up I was like
"It... s-stood like a man!".
I didn’t care for Jurassic World.
The original Jurassic Park will always be a classic, Lost World was decent but JP3 was garbage. And like I said I didn’t care for JW
We actually do have some dinosaurs with confirmed colors and patterns like Sinosauropteryx, a relative of the Compy that had feathers (Compy probably had feathers too), it's feathers were a chestnut color with a banded tail and a face mask like a raccoon. Psittacosaurus, a specimen of this dinosaur showed it with a black head, dark brown back and orange belly, and yellow bristles on its tail. Borealopelta, an armored Ankylosaur which was a complete mummy that showed the animal was reddish brown. Even colors from some more bird like dinosaurs like Microraptor having the same color as a crow, Anchiornis having black and white feathers with a red crest of feathers on its head as well as Caihong, which had a head of iridescent feathers. So it's not all guesswork we do have some examples of species with confirmed coloring.
This was my favourite Jurassic park movie as a child. I would watch it every Friday with a big bar of galaxy chocolate after school 😂
1. While it's true that "velociraptors" were really tiny, about the size of a large cat or small dog, "utahraptors" which were discovered during the time of production, are actually the size of a person as shown in the film. So, while they're called "velociraptors" in the films, they're actually "utahs" but that name didn't sound as scary so "velos" were chosen.
2. For the spino and rex fight, the spino was an animatronic that the crew moved around to fight a CGI rex. The fact that a fish-eating dinosaur killed the t-rex made a lot of fans very unhappy.
3. There was a new skeleton found of spinosaurus. The previous and only pieces of spine that had been discovered were destroyed in WW2 bombings so this half-complete skeleton was a massive find. They discovered that the tail was crocodile-like, leading many scientists to believe that spinosaurus was a mostly aquatic dinosaur that lived in swamps. Additionally, more pieces of the spine were found that suggests the fin on its back was most likely two hills rather than one. It's portrayal in the film is accurate as a water dinosaur.
4. the red dinosaur near the spino dropping is a ceratosaurus :D
Fun fact! This movie is what taught me that pterodactyls are carnivorous 😅 I knew only what the land before time had taught me about dinosaurs, so my initial thoughts during the bird cage scene went from "oh neat a pterodactyl!" To "omg they're going to eat you, run!!!"
Definitely like this one better than lost world, having Alan back was great because i knew there was at least one smart person on the team. William H Macy and Téa Leoni were amazing of course too.
I honestly dont know why people are so critical of this film. Its so much better than Jurassic Park 2. The action is non-stop, it has a plausible storyline, the acting is great, the effects are brilliant. Its a great film.
"Guys, guys are you serious?" Lol James making me laugh every time.
I maintain that there's a movie buried in Jurassic Park 3 that's actually good, and it's about Alan, raptors, and communication.
The dinner scene opens with Alan trying to get a parrot-a modern dinosaur-to say his name. On the plane, he dreams about a Velociraptor-an ancient bird-saying his name. In the forest, he witnesses Velociraptors coordinating their search for the thieves that took their eggs. In the labs, he realizes that they have specific purpose-designed calls. In the finale, he buys time with the raptors by using the 3D-printed resonating chamber to "call for help."
That arc should have been the core of the movie.
It’s disappointing about Ellie and Alan, but based on the first movie, it’s pretty obvious that they split cause she wanted kids and he didn’t. Both them and Ian are JW3, so this isn’t the last we see of them.
Honestly, I prefer JP3 to TLW, but JW1 is my favorite of all 6 movies, so I’m stoked you guys decided to proceed with the rest of the series. 🙂
I thought they was friends
To me Jurassic park series is best but Jurassic world series has my favourite "cars"
You like that POS movie?
He's lucky they still keep in touch.
Here's a detail from the novels. In the first novel, Alan and Ellie were never a couple. Ellie was one of his students. The movies made them a couple, so when Chrichton wrote the sequel novel to provide material for Spielberg's sequel film (much of which was never used), he introduced some retcons to kinda align the plot with movie details. There it is revealed that at some point Alan and Ellie were in a brief relationship, but she married someone elese. Then in the third movie they used that separation to help push Alan towards making the journey to the islands again. And fans have been salty ever since.
JP3 was ultimately plagued by a lot of stuf in production and it shows in the final product. Still I have a lot of nostalgia for this movie still even though quality wise it doesnt live up to the original movie. I would recommend watching the Jurassic World movies if you're a fan of the franchise. I dont think they're amazing but they're entertaining in their own way imo, and they have their moments.
12:41 there's a theory that it's not the same Spinosaurse and the first one on screen was killed when the plane got blood on the windshield. And the Spino chasing them throughout the movie is hunting them for revenge of their mate.
I think this movie gets a lot of undeserved hate. It's not bad, it's just not as good as the first two and especially the first one. For me it's mainly because the characters are not as likeable, except for Eric, and Alan of course. Ellie is barely in it and I reacted the same way you did when I realised she was married to another guy! But that's why you NEED to watch all the Jurassic World movies. I think at least the first Jurassic World is considered generally better than this one but I think the second one is just as good and the third one, while it was a bit overhyped, it's still enjoyable because the OGs are back.
Btw, I had such a crush on Trevor Morgan who plays Eric and James reminds me a bit of him! I also suggest another movie with him called The Glass House. Stellan Skarsgård also stars in it, who you've seen in Pirates of the Caribbean and Mamma Mia, and he's so creepy in it.
Lol I used to watch this movie all the time because I had a crush on Billy and Eric 😂
Cause it's cheesy 💩
14:49 The Spinosaurus V T-Rex fight scene was supposed to have animatronics involved, but it had been delayed and rewritten because the Spinosaurus animatronic was so powerful that it literally decapitated the T-Rex animatronic, which was the same animatronic from the Lost World, so that is now destroyed, forever. To give you an idea of how powerful it really was, the Spinosaurus’ head alone had a total of 1,000 horsepower in the animatronic parts that control it.
I remember Face-Off so vividly. I used to place bets and even recreate the fights with my clay animals that I sculpted myself. There was something else I wanted to mention, but I forgot what it was. Edit: I finally remembered what it was. I had the JP raptor toys that was like Rock’em Sock’em Robots. They made noises and such. Those dang toys used to jump scare my mom inside their box in my room. Especially at night.
So about velociraptors: an actual “velociraptor” is smaller yes,(in fact on the smaller side comparatively) but there are bigger types of raptors. There’s many types of raptors or “Dromeosaurids” and some are more similar in size to the films. The movie raptors are more like Utahraptors or Dakotaraptors. Oh and they were likely feathered
Fun fact: In the original novel, Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler were NOT romantic partners, but teacher and student, Ellie was engaged to either a lawyer or a doctor. Them being an item is movie only
The Spinosaurus kept chasing them because their plane hit him, injuring him, so he wanted revenge on them, as well as he was an abused animal when he was growing up, so he has a special hatred for humans. Apparently the Spinosaurus is a male, he's also described as a T-Rex hunter, intentionally going after Rexes and killing them to establish himself as the apex predator
No, Velociraptors were not as big nor were they anywhere nearly as intelligent as they are in the movies. The real raptors were the size of turkeys, and nowhere near as smart as they are described to be
What happened to the boat crew at the beginning, it’s rumored they were both attacked and Eaten… by either Spinosaurs the main villain of the movie or… the Pterodactyl’s or Pteranadons that were free roaming the fog area and saw the boat men trespassing their territory and attacked and killed them possibly grappled them off the boat and drowned them from what I pictured in my mind on how they got out of the boat. Sadly they drove the boat to the wrong area. The reason why I think there was smoke is either due to volcanic activity below the water or… somebody had did an illegal leak dumping of some kind of chemical material or gasoline tank. Probably by inGen before the Hurricane hit the island, which they say is why the island’s laboratory was left abandoned.
So, as Stella mentioned, yes, it is a common and very accepted theory that Spinosaurus and Baryonyx ate fish, wich is related to the phenomenon of ecological niches: to coexist, species develop different adaptations to serve their functional roles in a system, so fish eaters usually develop long snouts (In mammals: dolphins; in reptiles: crocodiles; in birds: pelicans, cranes, storks, boobies and cormorants), so the shape of their faces was probably related to said function
Laura Dern is an ICON we need more DERN!
I saw this in cinemas when it came out, had to hide under my dads coat, I was young and it was too scary!! XD
19:16 in the Junior novelization it’s specified that Ben broke his neck trying to get himself down. Eric realized he was on his own when his step-dad didn’t answer his shouts, after the boy sees the adult fall a few feet and stop suddenly, hearing a loud snapping sound and Ben going limp.
This one and the first one were my favorites growing up, I didn't know so many people hated this one till later but I still love it!
Yes Ma'am Jurassic Park 😍 Amazing Movie 💖 I'm just seeing this now and hey remember that funny part where the really mean old guy who selfishly left the poor kids trying Soo hard to hide 😥 save himself and Oops 🤭🤣 Rexy She knocked over the restroom exposing him Bites him up Eat Gobble him 😋 lol it was actually Really funny wouldn't you like kinda agree with me?
Glad you guys are continuing the series, I actually love every movie & can’t wait for y’all to finish!
Set spoiler (kinda) for Jurassic World… So, I feel like you’re gonna ask or wonder, & I was an extra in Jurassic world and yes the park area with all the stores & shops were practical. That part was filmed in the abandoned six flags in Louisiana and there were TONS of extras. We had to use a password they sent in the email the morning of filming to get into the park. We did SO much running and walking. Everything leading up to the stairs was real & behind the double doors was a green screen but the water area & other scenes were not filmed on that same set. Also the actors were pretty cool, since we all spent so many hours running & sweating together they sat w us in between takes and were really humble, especially CP. It was the middle of a hot Louisiana summer 🥵🥵 and we had to wait until the sun was brightest and there were no clouds in the sky. But they kept us very well fed and hydrated. In between every single take they had set crew coming to hand out water, gatorades and snacks. We got breakfast every morning & lunch. Margaritaville was real lol but the drinks weren’t. I’ve been on many sets but to this day, this was still the best one! You could tell that everyone part of this film, cast & crew loved their job, they were so pleasant. And the budget was huge, they treated their extras very well & at the end they let us keep the wrist bands from the park. I can’t find mine anymore tho lol
It sucks that Billy's mindset was the equivalent of I'm going to rob a gas station because tomorrow's Christmas and I don't have the money to put presents under the tree. As far as the base jumping scene with Billy, as long as the canopy does not have a whole basically bigger than your head your typically good to go.
26:18 to answer, yes they did find a mummified Boreapelta, which I believe is a Nodosaur more than an Ankylosaur. They're basically the same thing though with minor differences. Nodosaurs didn't have club tails.
I’m cannon there’s 3 “tribes” of raptors in the first 3 movies, tribe 1 raptors are the ones from the first 2 movies and tribe 2 is from jp3, tribe 3 however is technically both cannon and non cannon as it was part of the Jurassic world dominion promo website dino tracker showing that the third tribe was hybrids of the tiger stripe from 1-2 and the jp3 raptors
Crazy Fun fact:
during filming the T. rex vs Spinosaurus fight, they indeed used animatronics for it like the original T. rex animatronic.
But during filming the fight, it went sideways because the spinosaurus animatronic was so powerful that ripped the T. rex animatronics head off, so they had to fully CGI the fight!
Also the reason the Spino went after the humans was because they hit his fin with the plane while airborne, and if you see in split second frame before it cuts to the blood soaked windshield there was blood spilling from the fin on the right side of the screen, which generally really pissed him off. Also you can a small wound on his leg which by means the plane’s wheels hit him.
Why not. Watch Jurassic World, and you make up your own mind if you guys like it.
In defense of the Kirby’s they didn’t say they had the money, they said they could write any amount of numbers on that check.
I was traumatized as a kid when I found out the guy killed by raptors was also Mr. Noodle from Elmo’s World
Quick thinking Stella at like 27:20, about spinosaurus as a semiaquatic dinosaur. But that wasnt actually known about spinosaurus back when the movie was made. I think the first speciman that helped us think about that was found in 2014, long after the movie. Originally, spinosaurus was mostly known from some teeth and drawings of vertebrea, skull and ribs. The first original speciman was destroyed during WW2, coz it was stored in a museum in Munich, Germany.
The function of the sail is still unknown. I think ive read about some simulations last year, in which the sail was actually not really functioning in a hydrodynamic way. If spinosaurus were to roll in the water, the authors of the paper stated that the drag of the sail would actually be an obstacle to get the animal upright again in a fully submerged state. So there is still a lot of mystery to spinosaurus. For all we know the spines could be attachments for a hump of fat, like a buffalo or camel's. What we do know though, is that its tail was actually a flat rudder, and its hindlimbs were about as short as its arms, so it was likely mostly a quadruped, maybe facultatively able to move as a biped, but it was quite top heavy. All in all longer than T-Rex, and maybe heavier, but definitely not taller.
I just wanna state though that the JP spinosaurus was a pretty fair depiction for its time. We didnt have the fossils back then, and we couldnt have assumed it to be this strange for a theropod dinosaur.
36:32 that *is* Ceratosaurus. it's simply missing the crests over its eyes.
Yo im genuinely impressed by how grounded some of your comments are, in regards to the colours/feathers, and even the Spinos murderous intent, as it is a Hybrid
This is the move that I like the most off all the series, maybe it was the introduction of new dinosaurs or the idea that a kid was able to survive alone. As a kid I wanted to feel like I would do the same haha (death the next day).
And even if many people critique the new 3 movies, I still like them and are worth watching.
All the kids in Jurassic Park movies are super heroes.
1 : Dinosaur genius and hacker
2 : Olympic gymnast
3 : Tarzan with super hearing and stealth
Jurassic World - it all continues.
I can’t wait for this! I like your guys reactions a lot
31:00 That whole bird myth is false. They will however leave the nest if they believe you're a threat so it's not necessarily that they smell you on the babies when especially since birds sense of smell is not that good, but the actuality is you being a threat. Which I guess you could say you still shouldn't mess with the babies for that reason but the whole thing about your scent being on the bird or the egg and causing the bird to abandon them is completely and utterly false
Both trilogies are entertaining for their own reasons. I think y'all will have a lot to talk about with the next 3 movies
Gosh. This takes me back, I remember watching this and the Star Wars prequels in theaters, so much fun!
All I can say is, despite all, that I hold this trilogy very close to my heart because I watched all 3 of them in the theater and pretty much shaped my childhood (I was like 4 when the 1st one came out and it scared me so much I left the theater without telling my parents 😅 I just decided to wait for them at the parking lot). I'm so curious to watch your reaction to the Jurassic World ones 🤭
JP3 is a carbon copy of the first movie, but worse:
- Helicopter shot of flying to the island
- Vehicle stuck in a tree with people in it
- Closeup shot of the primary dino's foot stomping in the mud
- Crushing a vehicle with people in it
- Guy and woman pushes on a door together to keep a raptor out
- Running through a stampede
- Raptor jumps up and bites at the camera
- Audio cue for primary dino
- Digging through poop
- Dino attack in the rain, at night
- Flares
- Surrounded by raptors in final action scene
yup you guys should defiantly continue the films.
Yes Ma'am lol Jurassic Park 😍 Amazing Movie I'm just seeing this now and hey remember that funny part where the really mean old guy who selfishly left the poor kids trying Soo hard to hide 😥 save himself and Oops 🤭🤣 Rexy 🦖 knocked over the restroom exposing him Bites him up Eat Gobble him 😋 lol it was actually Really funny wouldn't you agree with me?
40:54 i like how the raptor look at him like “wait what🤔🤨”and the other one was “bro did u catch that?”🤔 😭😭
The Spinosaurus is one of my top 3 favorites alongside Mosasaurus and Therizinosaurus! Fun Fact: The Spinosaurus and T Rex existed in separate eras; it's impossible for them to have gotten against each other in real life.
Also different climates AND continants if I remember.
Tyrannosaurus was indigenous to modern North America, and would have lived in forests and grasslands.
Spinosaurus _Aegypticus_ unsurprisingly lived around Egypt and central europe, and it's semi aquatic nature meant it would have lived in Jungles and Marshes with lots of access to rivers.
I think I've heard someone call it "Mostly Triassic" Park. Lol
@leiderhosen7110 Ye I learned about that too. So cool how they inhabitated Egypt. Spino even had a very complicated history of being discovered, preserved, and identified.
Therizinosaurus is so amazing and the best examble how much knowledge the scientist still gain from digging up dinosaurs. In my newest Dinosaursenzyklopedia from the early 2000s Therizinosaurus is mantioned but the designed is awkward since they only had founnd the claws and part of it's ribchaged but they already knew it had feathers. Now there are even Therizinosaurus-Toys.
@@sawanna508 I feel the Therizinosaurus is the giant sloth of dinosaurs.😗
Jurassic Park 3 may not have been the best Jurassic Park movie, but it has the most sentimental value to me because it was the first movie in the jurassic franchise I ever watched. Also, I have this movie to thank for making Spinosaurus one of my favourite dinosaurs.
Fun fact- Much of the raptors at the nest, and the Spinosaur boat/plane attack sequences were done entirely with practical effects, minus a shot or two
Eh... there are 2 CGI Spinosaurus shots before the plane even crashes. I count at least 11 before the characters run into the T-Rex. I didn't look at the other scenes.
1:52 Just a spot on the map that says "here be dragons." xD
fun fact the velociraptor actually had feathers but at the time i don't think they knew so they went with the whole scally look on raptors
They did know, but people especially in the movie industry weren't on board yet, since they didn't think feathered raptors would be scary.
The real velociraptors were also only around 2 feet tall.
@@Deined No, not that small, they would still reach up to a man's hip and be 1,80 m long.
@@sawanna508 when Jurassic park was written the name deinonychus didn't exist, they were considered a second species of velociraptor, so the size is actually very close to what it ought to be, the animals name simply changed
@@sawanna508 No 2 meters long an 1.9 feet
Spinosaurus is semi-aquatic. I'm proud to say that most everything that I know about dinosaurs came from a book when I was a kid (All About Dinosaurs) and watching "Dinosaur Train" with my daughter when she was younger.
The Utahraptor is the larger raptor as depicted in the first two. As figured from skeleton analysis after this film, the Spinosaurus didn't have a strong bite force like the T Rex which had a massive bite force. The spinosaurus was probably mostly in water and slower moving and probably couldn't take a T Rex. It's figured a powerful Rex bite would be enough.
Nah, Spinosaurus Beats Trex And That Is It!! You Don't Know Nothing Silly Boy.......
@@kanethesevenfootmonster868 NO way, read how Spiny was a fish eater with a bite force not even close to Trex and less mobile out of water. Sounds like you don't know anything.
Deinonychus. Utharaptor is much bigger. it is 3m high and 6m long.
The brief scene on the river with the brachiosaurus pack and the classic music in it still gets me every time; goosebumps, hair standing on end, wonder and awe. It's my favorite scene of this movie.
I know it's not as good as the original or the sequel, but I absolutetly loved it. The whole birdcage scene gave me nightmares for months for some reason lol
But the biggest ressentment of anyone who ever watched this movies is absolutelly Alan and Ellie not getting together.
Funny personal story with watching this movie years ago. It was on TV, and we get to the Kirby reunion scene and the Spinasaurus shows up, phone jingling. During the next commercial break, my dad's work phone goes off with the same ringtone. I jumped about a foot off the couch.
I always loved this movie, just as much as the 1st one. It had some incredible moments (like the birdcage which is one of the most terrifying parts of the entire series) and I just love me my Spiney
Guys the dinosaur with the one horn is called a Ceratosaurus it looks like the carnotarus but with one horn and smaller black and red stripped that’s what it’s called if that helped with anything your welcome.
I've said it before, Jurassic Park III is the Jurassic Park equivalent of a B movie - when seen through that lense, it's easy enough to switch your brain off and enjoy. I have to admit, I really enjoyed the subplot of Alan struggling with his lifestyle following living dinosaurs being public knowledge, and that puts Billy's actions into a new perspective. I wish the film had focused more on them, to be honest. And Ellie, being a paleobotanist, could have had more to do as well.
I do like that they introduced new animals as well, and they did something interesting and new with the raptors (I think the paler colour is meant to indicate sexual dimorphism). I have to say though, whilst it was introduced to have a new mega theropod, having it take out the T.rex felt a bit fanboyish, and unfortunately, led to Jurassic World relying too much on dinosaur battles. It feeling thrown together and not playing enough with interesting concepts definitely makes me see it as the weakest of the original Jurassic trilogy.
Couple of fun dino facts - for what was being said about the colour, in recent years, some exquisitely preserved fossils have contained traces of pigment, and we've been able to extrapolate some dinosaur colourings from them. My favourite example is Sinosauropteryx, a small carnivore from China, which had an orange and white banded tail, which makes it an adorable necessity to any future dinosaur franchise.
And recent research on Spinosaurus have discovered it to be well-suited to a semi-aquatic lifestyle, with shorter hindlegs than shown here, but a massive paddle-like tail. It was absolutely vast, likely the largest theropod, and though its diet was mostly fish, this included fish the size of cars.
Since snakes and birds are really colorfull it would make sence that dinosaurus may have been quite colourful too.
