    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This movie and the book generated so much interest in dinosaurs that the study of paleontology has had a record increase in students.
    • 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.

    Life finds a way...
    ''Life, uh... finds a way.''

    One of the best & most iconic movie quotes of all times.

    I don't know what can I say about this movie that hasn't been said. Really...

    Considering this movie was made in 1993, visual effects are of incredible quality, as you see it better on blu-ray. When it comes to story, it's completely original, nearly flawless. I can't say too much about the acting. I believe acting is not the movie's strongest point. But still, it was enough for that movie. You don't need to be like Marlon Brando in a sci-fi movie about dinosaurs and has great visual & sound effects. The movie is very fun to watch.

    I also sensed a small message like, ''don't mess with nature''.

    Best thing about the movie (for me) was the score. Especially the ''Welcome to Jurassic Park'' scene. Of course we're talking about John Williams, the guy who wrote the theme for Star Wars, so that's not a surprise.

    Highly recommend it.

    FAQ33

    • What kind of machine was used at the digsite in Snakewater Montana?
    • Did Malcolm intentionally mean to get Gennaro killed by the T-rex by leading him to the outhouse?
    • 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.
