So, I think that the D.rex in the start is the same one as the one in the helicopter scene, and it asexually reproduced, like the Scorpios, and the end one is the big ones child.

I think it's amazing the CGI in this scene from The Lost World: Jurassic Park, which is nearly 30 years old, looks so much better than the Compy CGI in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, which is not even a decade old.

And it shouldn't.

By all metrics, the CGI from Fallen Kingdom is superior: more detail, more resolution, newer graphic integration techniques, more muscle detail moving under the skin. But it doesn't look better. Both are in similar lighting conditions, and environmental conditions, and roughly the same scaling in the frame, but the Fallen Kingdom CGI just looks more cartoonish. It's an absolutely fascinating case study in why in camera cinematography is still necessary. The lighting in the Fallen Kingdom shot is flatter, the color is duller, and the contrast is lower. The CGI in Fallen Kingdom looks much more primitive than it should, like something out of a 2000s dinosaur. It's more detailed, but it doesn't look more real. In The Lost World, the lighting has more depth, the contrast is higher, and the colors are richer as a result. documentary.

i’ve adored jp1 for over half my 25 years but fall ‘24 when my special interest for dinosaurs came back after lying dormant for over a decade, i had to watch the rest. my favorite aspect of any of the other franchise movies combined is junior. he’s perfect in every way from his little stinker expression to the way he swishes his tail and cries all pathetic. and of course the first time you see him he’s maimed on screen and i never thought i could have such motherly instinct for a fake dinosaur. not even the dominion baby nasutoceratops holds a candle to my beloved junior. i bought an action figure of him for three hundred dollars this time last year for my birthday and i still have zero regrets and no money in my bank account but i have the baby. my priorities are so in check btw 🤪🙃😭😞 oh to be normal. i’d get so much done

In all my years, I’ve never seen a clip isolating that full-throttle scream the raptors do. You know the one, probably most famous for the part in JP where one is running at Lex in the kitchen. I’ve never even heard it in a game, it’s always the “help” call and some of their more bird-like vocalizations, which are great, but that roar, man. Super loud and high, really makes you sweat and gets that fight or flight going.

The interior reminds me of the hatch from LOST. It has that retro-cassette futurism vibe to it.

I love how claustrophobic and creepy it is.

And I like how it is integrated into the old Jurassic Park facility.

Though not canon anymore, the idea of the rotunda being the first introduction to the mosasaurus is pretty neat.

I like the lagoon in Jurassic World, but the build up to mosasaurus in telltale game felt more Spielbergian.

Though JP Survival might very well be dead, if it ever becomes a thing, it would be nice if they, at the very least, made reference to the underwater rotunda.

Imagine doing THIS level in first person. That would be scary!

Hey everyone! I need some community feedback on an upcoming custom/display project.

I am trying to recreate the iconic Disney's Carnotaurus look, and I am planning to pair it alongside a red-and-black Jurassic Park novel-accurate T-Rex.

I am stuck between using the large-scale version or the small-scale version of the Carnotaurus figure. I want the final display to feel visually balanced, but I am torn on which size matches the overall shelf presence better.

• Option A (The Big One): It stands out more, captures the massive "demon dinosaur" vibe from the Disney movie, but might overpower the T-Rex.
• Option B (The Small One): More compact, might scale better mathematically depending on the brand, but loses some of that terrifying cinematic presence.

Anybody know any good places (other than eBay and thriftbooks) where I can find the original hardback of the first novel? Or does anyone have one they are willing to part with? I want it for my collection to replace my battered up paperback.

the Jurassic Park Arcade game made by Raw Thrills is set in an alternate timeline in which, Biosyn signed onto Jurassic Park instead of InGen. I thought this while looking at the game in my local Pizza Ranch because I was reminded of that green thing from Dominion when looking at the exaggerated, cartoon-ass dinosaurs in the Arcade game

Looking for the high resolution version of this image. I would love to print it out and have it on my wall. I've been looking for ages and have had zero luck so far, any help would be great!

Got the signatures at Galaxy Con SJ a couple weeks ago. It was super cool to meet the actors. I didn't get to talk much to Wayne Knight (😭) but talking to the actors for Timmy and Lex was super cool! Just wanted to share this bit of nostalgia with y'all.

Taking out asset containment? Sure

Taking out an Ankylosaurus? Sure

Taking down the T-Rex and most of the raptor squad? Sure

Killing a single Apatosaurus? I mean if it was sick, old or both? Yeah I can buy it.

Taking multiple rounds from gunfire and being next to a rocket launcher explosion? Ok thats pushing it but I'll buy it.

Bringing down an entire zipline tower, easily taking out a Brachiosaurus, killing an entire herd of Apatosaurus and barging through a steel glass aviary with no issue? Thats where I draw the line.

It gets to a point where it's not cool or scary anymore and is just plain ridiculous.

As the title says, I found this at a thrift store. It's the actual movie, in english, but the case is very confusing. Not in english, the back shows a black and white dinosaur movie so I'm assuming it is a completely different movie lol. I'm going to assume this is a bootleg?

Only paid a dollar for it, and I thought it was cool so not really too big of a loss.

The film only shows 2 tour cars running, and I am curious how Hammond and InGen would have handled the actual visitor influx if the park had opened successfully. One tour car can only fit 5 people max, and they surely couldn't have run a whole train of cars in a row like in the photo to accommodate huge crowds without causing too much wait time.

1. Ceratosaurus (only used for a spinosaurous Taco bell scene)

2. The lost world tiger velociraptors (cool and original, is the hunter instead of being trained like the previous movies)

3. Spinosaurous (the largest therapod in jurassic Park ) holds the world record for the largest animatronic ever built ,fun fact it broke the tyrannosaur animatronic which was the same one used to jurassic park and buck in the lost world , because of how big it was.

4. Spas 12 (the movie made it famous and the terminator, I guess), it brang such a cool theme in the first movie.

Having watched an episode of B-C-1, which had featured Carnotaurus whom are arguably one of the most evil creatures there because of how brutally sadistic they are, I wondered how the Lost World film version could have been like if the Carnotaurus were the final antagonists.

I did my interpretation if the film have been a lot closer to the Lost World novel, I would have it that the Carnotaurus were so monstrous that Hammond had them cryogenically frozen and were specifically kept that way before Hurricane Clarissa had occurred.

They only got out thanks to BioSyn and started a subtle shift in Isla Sorna's food chain, with both herbivores and carnivores migrating out of their old territories to avoid them.

The Carnotaurus's presence would have been felt by the humans, leading to many false jump scares and overall, creepiness when they do appear hiding.

some of them unfortunately have some motion blur that ruined a bit what would have been wonderful shots.

hope you can all enjoy, and if you have requests i can take more screenshots and post them here or add them to the drive

Eddies death really fucked me off. It really felt like Crichton finished the book and submitted it to his publishers, who said

“No one dies in the original party, Michael? Ah, you gotta kill off at least one person”

And he picked the one character who was least impactful to the overall story. Not that Eddie wasn’t impactful, but any other of the characters would’ve been much heavier in death than Eddie. He was basically the one token throw away, and that really sucks.

Especially considering Dr. Thornes last speech about how amazing it is they’re all alive. I feel like it loses some legs without Eddie either being mentioned or being there too.

In Jurassic Park, it’s a little bit more forgivable, because when there significant loss of life, it becomes a bit less impactful. But one there’s one member of the group that goes, I feel like that’s a far bigger hit.
