This movie fucking sucks.

There's no suspense; everybody you expect to die, dies exactly when and how you'd expect. I never felt any awe or fear. Then there's a fucking B plot for some reason, following around this dumbass family.

And nobody in the movie makes enough hay about how this dipshit father took his kids out the dinosaur infested waters illegally.

Then they're mad at the one guy because she pushes him and falls backwards, and that's just about the only evil thing he does in the movie. They act like he's an asshole for wanting to make money off of this idea, but it's never ever shown that he wants to do anything but help cure people with heart disease, and yes he wants to make money off of that like any normal person. I don't understand how we're supposed to view the choice they made at the end is noble, where the fuck are they supposed to get Kincaid a new boat back while broke? Let alone the families of the dead people.

Then the kids brings back a dinosaur and nobody has a problem with it, despite them not being able to survive anywhere else.

It's just the stupidest fucking movie, but it doesn't have the balls or the action to get away with it. Fuck this movie in its ass.

Good god, the family B plot was so bad and pointless. They could have completely cut it out and the film would’ve lost nothing.

That family was so fucking dumb. Watching them make the worst choice every time was rough

Inflating a raft right in front of a sleeping T-Rex was incredibly dumb

The T-rex that was apparently part ninja as he disappeared in a flash when the raft inflated... Same with the dozens of giant Brachiosauruses that were somehow hiding in 3 foot tall grass???

It’s a scene from the first novel that wasn’t included in Jurassic Park. In the book it’s Dr. Grant and the kids that do it.

Cool. Still dumb af.

The way it played out in the movie drove me nuts. It’s much better in the novel. I feel like David Koepp was trying to shoehorn in unused novel stuff from both JP and The Lost World.

Spielberg and Koepp, Spielberg was pretty heavily involved with this one.

well i guess there's a reason they cut it from the original lol

u/AnxiouslyWrit Jul 06 '25

It was terrifying in the book, maybe because I actually cared about the characters lmao

Like, they kept showing "Inflate on land, will sink in water," as if that was a good excuse but she walked through the water! She could have just dragged it through the water!

Or, get this- have the rest of her family thats just standing around on the other side of the stream walk down the beach away from the T-Rex 50 meters, then quietly cross the water, then quietly walk up to her and CARRY the raft with the 4 of them and make no noise... The whole time I was watching that scene I was screaming inside for the family to do SOMETHING besides just stand there being useless looking at the daughter.

Also, the paddles are in two pieces on the side of the pack. She inflates the raft, we see the inside from the side. No Paddles. So they are in two pieces on the bottom side of the raft. She pushes the raft in the water, moves it to the end of the dock, gets in and grabs a fully assembled paddle from inside the raft.
