    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to the behind-the-scenes book The Making of Jurassic Park: An Adventure 65 million Years in the Making, the infamous roar of The Tyrannosaurus' were a composite mix of a dog, penguin, tiger's snarl, alligators gurgle, and a baby elephants squeal . The very deep alligator vocals acted as the low-frequency element of the final roar. However, as Gary Rydstrom stresses, the key part of the sound is the high-frequency element: the baby elephant. Rydstrom describes how, during the recording session, the baby elephant only did the iconic "cute high-pitched scream" that forms the basis of every T. rex roar in the film once. "We kept trying to get it to do it again, and the handlers were saying, 'We never heard it do that before; that's a weird sound.'" As Rydstrom stresses, the introduction of the T. rex is a scene expressly planned around sound design. "I think maybe other directors would have had a shock moment where you see the T. rex show up out of the blue Spielberg was great in the T. rex scene by getting several minutes of tension because you knew what was coming. And you knew it because you heard it before you saw it it's nice when movies think about sound that way."
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 3 mins) When they arrive at the T. rex cage right before the black out, we can clearly see the ground inside the cage is approximately flush with that outside the cage. But when the T. rex escapes and begins to terrorize the two trucks, the ground in the cage is shown to be at least 100 feet below where it was before.
    • Quotes

      John Hammond: All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!

      Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but, John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

    • Crazy credits
      When it says "A Steven Spielberg film" at the end of the movie, listen closely. You will hear the slightly modified five tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977).
    • Alternate versions
      The mainland Chinese release of the 3D version (the original version was not released there) deletes the following:
      • The goat chunk splattering against the tour jeep and Lex's subsequent reaction.
      • Gennaro in the T-Rex's mouth.
      • Dr. Satler's discovery of Arnold's severed arm.
      • The raptor pouncing on Muldoon.

    9/10
    With a bazillion other reviews, I'll keep this short.
    By now there are nearly a thousand (not really a bazillion) reviews for this Steven Spielberg film. So, in the case of mega-hits where there is a strong consensus that the movie is exceptional (and I don't disagree), what more is there to say?! Apart from a few characters who seemed a bit one-dimensional (which is a minor problem in an action film) and the unwritten Spielberg rule that kids cannot die (taking away much of the suspense), the film is amazing. While the CGI isn't quite as beautiful as what we can do today, it STILL looks awesome. With only a few exceptions, the dinosaurs LOOK real! And, the music from John Williams is, as expected, very good. Overall, a highly entertaining film which will no doubt please everyone except for the impossible to please.

    FAQ34

    • What kind of machine was used at the digsite in Snakewater Montana?
    • Muldoon describes one of the raptors as "the big one". While all three raptors are never seen onscreen together, they all seem to be exactly the same size.
    • If the geneticists used frog DNA to "fill in the blanks" in the dinosaur DNA why don't they look like a combination of frog and dinosaur rather then just dinosaurs?
