Jurassic Park Series #1: "Welcome To Jurassic Park."
 

Plot;
On a remote island, a wealthy entrepreneur secretly creates a theme park featuring living dinosaurs drawn from prehistoric DNA. Before opening the attraction to the public, he invites a top paleontologist, a paleobotanist, a mathematician/theorist, and his two eager grandchildren to experience the park -- and help calm anxious investors. However, their park visit is anything but tranquil as the park's security system breaks down, the prehistoric creatures break out, and the excitement builds to surprising results. Based on Michael Crichton's best-selling novel.

Quotes;
Dr. Alan Grant: It looks like we're out of a job.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Don't you mean extinct?

John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!
Dr. Ian Malcolm: But, John. If the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

[about the velociraptors]
Dr. Alan Grant: What's their growth rate?
Muldoon: They're lethal at eight months, and I do mean lethal. I've hunted most things that can hunt you, but the way these things move...
Dr. Alan Grant: Fast for a biped?
Muldoon: Cheetah speed. Fifty, sixty miles an hour if they ever got out into the open, and they're astonishing jumpers...
John Hammond: Yes, yes, yes. That's why we're taking extraordinary precautions.
[to Ellie]
John Hammond: The viewing area is over there, and...
Dr. Alan Grant: Do they show intelligence?
Muldoon: They show extraordinary intelligence, even problem-solving. Especially the big one. We bred eight originally, but when she came in she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. That one... when she looks at you, you can tell she's working things out.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Anybody hear that? It's an... It's an impact tremor, that's what it is... I'm fairly alarmed here.

[while being chased by the T-Rex]
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Must go faster.

[being chased by the T-Rex]
Dr. Ian Malcolm: You think they'll have that on the tour?

Dr. Ian Malcolm: There. Look at this. See? See? I'm right again. Nobody could've predicted that Dr. Grant would suddenly, suddenly jump out of a moving vehicle.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Alan? Alan!
[Jumps out of the vehicle]
Dr. Ian Malcolm: There's, another example. See, here I'm now sitting by myself, uh, er, talking to myself. That's, that's chaos.

Dr. Alan Grant: [seeing the Brachiosaur for the first time] Uh... it's... it's a dinosaur!

Plot;
The film picks up four years after the disaster at Jurassic Park. On a nearby island, dinosaurs have secretly survived and been allowed to roam free but now there is a more ominous threat--a plan to capture and bring the dinosaurs to the mainland. John Hammond, who has lost control of his InGen company, sees a chance to redeem himself for his past mistakes and sends an expedition led by Ian Malcolm to reach the island before the mercenary team gets there. The two groups confront each other in the face of extreme danger and must team up for their own survival in a race against time.

Plot;
Eight years after the InGen incident, Dr. Alan Grant is happy with his life far from any dinosaurs other than fossilized. Unfortunately, he is extremely short in research money, and therefore accepts the offer of wealthy businessman Paul Kirby: A low flight over isolated Isla Sorna, where InGen's second research site was located, and Dr. Grant can fund his future research for a long time. What Dr. Grant didn't know is that Kirby just needs a dinosaur expert to help him and his wife find their 14-year-old son Eric, who crashed on the island while paragliding. What he did suspect, but never wanted to witness, is that the Velociraptors have evolved into a communicating species (and seemingly all along had the capability to do so), now being smarter than primates.

Wow, AMAZING OP.
And this movie is one of my all time faves, no question.
Thanks for this! ♥

Thanks :blush: It took me a little while, I love this movie too. Rewatched it on the weekend :love: I love me some raptors.

I can't believe that we didn't have a thread for this... :look:

Great OP Court! :hug:

I know :lol: It was one of the biggest movies ever.

I know, I looked at it and was like 'What? #1?' LOL.
Ahhhhhhh.. the raptors.
Classic suspense in that kitchen, and the sound they make? :sigh:

But I shall always love my T-Rex. :in_love:
That roar at the end?
Etched into my memory foreverrrrrr, haha.

Oh my heart was beating out of my chest when I saw the raptor scene for the first time :lol: I love them, they make the best noises. Have you seen #3? It's not as good but I love the raptors in that movie.

T-Rex's roar at the end :love:

I love this...it's kind of appropriate timing too considering that Jurassic Park IV was officially announced as a dead project this morning...we've got all the Jurassic Park that we're going to get....time to celebrate the trilogy...

So Court, did you just watch the movie again recently or something? I saw your avatar when you posted on the T7S board yesterday :lol:

I love the raptors! They are my all time favorite dinosaur :nod:

Yeah I watched it recently :lol: But I love dinosaurs. I used to want to be a palaentologist :cool:

Which one is everyones favourite?

I actually enjoyed them all :look:

So there's no #4? :no:
Shame.

I gotta say the 1st is my fav.
2nd was ok.
3rd was good, but the Spino killing the T Rex after that bite (which did nothing, but should have snapped it's neck immediately) pissed me off.

T Rex > Spino.

Aw. I was hoping that the 4th would happen. But I can see why it's dead. They're probably having issues coming up with a good storyline.

I love all of these movies dearly. The first is definitely my favorite. I also really like the 2nd one. The third one is fine, but not my favorite. There's some faults in the storyline that don't match with the 2nd's.

Yea, and to be honest, I was kind of mad that Alan and Ellie weren't together.
They even made it look like it, too. :pout:
Stupid. :P

I know Alan/Ellie FTW!

I like Spino better then T-Rex ... he's a crazy mother******.

:lmao:

But I prefer Raptors overall, in real life Spino easily kicks T-Rex's ass. :P

My favorite will always be the first one. :nod:

I really like the second one though and the third was just okay to me. I didn't like that Alan and Ellie weren't together anymore. That just didn't seem right to me :shrug:
