always bothered me even as a kid when i saw this in the theatre....the little boy just stands there doing nothing....i remember thinking "why not pass the gun to the adults?!"

[avnger]

2:37 the projection of that DNA sequence is such a great effect

[doidrs]

As a velocirapror, I can confirm we really hate the UNIX system.

[noncrediblecase]

2:36 I always loved this shot of the raptor here. Even as a kid I understood that it was actively thinking and trying to figure out how to get into the vents to capture its prey. Such a chilling shot.

The computer scene proves two things... someone needs to hire that girl, and someone needs to fire whoever set up computer security in that place.

5:00: "Mr Hammond! After careful consideration, I've decided, not to endorse your park." "So have I."

[AlexanderYamada]

I love the raptor's reaction when Grant kicks out the ladder. It's like "Really? That's your plan?"

[epicfail]

The ending when Rexy is roaring as the “When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth” banner falls is IMO one of if not THE greatest scene in all of movie history

[starpawsy]

As a former UNIX analyst of some 22 years, I was greatly amused by this.

One of the most underrated things about the first Jurassic Park is how they never once wink to the audience or present the tone with anything less than complete sincerity.

At 2:50 when Grant kicks the raptor in the face to knock it down, that could have easily felt ridiculous but it’s played dead straight and makes the scare with pulling the girl up that much more effective.

As a kid this movie had me convinced that navigating through computer files would be stressful

[monsterzan]

4:08 this velociraptor was the one Ellie thought she trapped in the power switch room. But it got out somehow by learning to open doors. It terrified Ellie.

[iprobablyforgotsomething]

It says so much, when you think back to how excited Hammond was to see Grant and Ellie's reaction to the first dino they saw, that when Grant says here that he's decided not to endorse the park, Hammond simply says a grimly defeated, "so have I" because his dream was never worth the risk of the loss of his family or innocents.

The shot at 2:38 of the raptor with the nucleic acid letters all over it is just fucking genius cinematography

[excommunicado]

2:59 I screamed when Lex almost got caught and bitten by the raptor. Actually, the whole theater screamed with me. Oh God those were the days.

[skylark]

The kids were great in this first film. They don’t get enough credit for the difficult roles they played! Well done young actors. I know your grown up now. But I think of you when I think of the first original film. Well done!

[db]

Best movie of the franchise by a long way. I got my parents to buy all the merchandise for this film. The duvet cover was epic. Love love this film. So ahead of it's time.

[modalmixture]

One of the things I loved as a kid was the architecture and interior designs in the park. Technological, modern, yet also cozy and evocative of the tropical forest environment. It made me want to just explore all those laboratory spaces and listen to the sound of the rain outside.

This movie holds tremendous place in my heart.
Long story short, my deceased uncle (the black sheep of the family) came over one day, told my mom to get me ready because he was taking me out, I was 12. We ended up going to the theater, which was the ultimate luxury for me. I remember he bought me a drink & popcorn, an even bigger luxury.
I watched this movie in such awe! He dropped me off & I played/pretended to be in the kitchen scene that night. It was awesome!

Hubby & I are the biggest JP fans, I even have a VHS JP ornament. I’m happy that my kids thoroughly enjoy all these movies too!

RIP Tio Toño, I’ll always remember you 🥹🥰

"It's a UNIX system!" Well thank God it wasn't a DOS system!

Also, I thought the Oppenheimer photo on the monitor was a nice touch. It's so fitting.
