Jurassic park movies -
things that bother me that i didnt really pay much mind to when i first watched them. a lot can be ignored because its just a movie, but these things below really bug me every time i see the movies again.

Jurassic park -
when they go on the tour everything is ground level with the road, everything, then they stop to feed the t-rex and things go off the rails. car goes off a cliff that must be 200ft high, yet the t-rex just walked across there to eat the goat, before breaking through the fence to step onto the road to attack people. dumb, very dumb, but ok i can look passed it. but then jeep comes to rescue them and she sees the car way down at the bottom of the cliff. and thats the hugest WTF moment when the both are 200ft at the bottom of the cliff to find the car empty, when it took them less than 5 seconds to get down there, then they are all the way back up top on the road again in 5 more seconds???????????? maybe they had a really super fast elevator hiding behind that tree in the corner we didnt see

now if they could just get back to the road in 5 seconds like the others did, why didnt they do that, instead of walking with 2 little kids in tow, half way across the entire island, that is filled with man eating dinosaurs on the loose?

then at the end they are about to be eaten by raptors when a t-rex appears out of nowhere to save them. this is inside a building with only 7ft high doors and his step feel like an earthquake yet no one, not even the raptors saw him or could hear him walking around inside a building, a building he couldnt fit into without smashing through the walls.

Jurassic park - lost world

vince vaughn the ecoterrorist turns the animals loose getting many people killed and injured. then he removes the slugs from the hunters gun that stopped the hunter from dropping the t-rex dead on the spot when he attacked the camp. he was directly responsible for murdering at least a half dozen or more people in that camp. a good movie would have made sure that idiot got eaten with a quickness after that for the sake of karma.

Jurassic park 3 and 4 -

both of these were just so stupid there is no point in complaining about them since its all bad from start to finish other than the fact that 4 didnt even have dinosaurs in it beyond maybe 2 minutes total the whole movie. they should have just called it jurassic locusts

regarding the cliff next to the road, this is a long-discussed issue on the internet. it's so glaringly obvious that there's no way filmmakers didnt realize. the only logical answer is that Spielberg just decided he wanted to put a cliff there for cinematic reasons and didnt give a frick about the continuity error.

If Spielberg don't care, I don't care. Still probably my favorite all time theater experience.

one of the most egregious deus ex machinas in movie history.

That's what you get when you have a last minute rewrite for the closing scene. T-Rex wasn't originally in the final scene, but they were so proud of the job the effects guys did on T-Rex (rightly so) that they wanted to get him on screen one more time.

Regarding that, this is how the Rex got in

Yes, but they showed how it got in.

Not hearing it coming is the crazy part. Plus the raptors attacking it instead of running.

Your ”Jurassic Park 4” is actually Jurassic World: Dominion, aka Jurassic World 3, aka Jurassic Park 6

I’ve always wondered how long it takes for a T. rex or a Brachiosaurus to grow to adulthood. Jurassic Park was in 1993. How long had they had the dna technology to create the dinosaurs?


that said, I watched Jurassic Park in theaters when it came out in’93 and absolutely loved it. Possibly the greatest movie to watch in the theater.

I don’t have an issue with much of what was stated here, but you are overdramatizing the size of the “cliff”. 200 feet is a bit much.

The T-Rex in Jurassic Park is a female.

Basically the same movie made over and over. Somehow the creatures get loose and terrorize humans, again and again.

What, does somebody go out in the park and pull up the dinosaurs' skirts?
