Movie Review: Jurassic Park (1993) Part 2:

Warning: Naughty language, kids.

Previously: /Boom/. Water ripple. /Boom/. Water ripple. /Boom/. Water ripple.

Rex is here to fuck shit up (he’s called Rex because T-Dog is a character from the Walking Dead and I don’t want to be sued). It horror begins with the goat being eaten, easily the saddest loss of the movie. Next, he makes like Ludacris and gets that fence out the way…bitch. Rex has his freedom at last.

Now, I wasn’t alive to see this movie in theaters, but I imagine seeing Rex roaring on the big screen was fucking awesome. I still get goose bumps from the growl. Lawyer must get them too because he wimps out and abandons the kids, but he gets eaten for being an asshole, so it’s fine. Then Lex decides it would be a good idea to shine a light in the damn thing’s face. So of course, Rex attacks their jeep. But have no fear, Grant and Malcolm to the rescue. Well, unless you’re Malcolm because Malcolm gets injured distracting Rex while Grant helps the kids out of the ruined jeep. Grant almost does it, but while he gets Lex out of the jeep, Tim get pushed over a cliff before he can escape. Grant and Lex climb down over the enclosure to get away from Rex and to get Tim out of the tree and now the three of them are lost in the park. Fucking great. Thus ends this classic scene.

Everyone who didn’t go on the tour get worried that the J-crew isn’t back so Dick Muld and Sattler go out to get find them. When Sattler and Dick Muld get to the site of the attack, it’s a bit shocking to say the least. There might be some freaking out but on the upside they find Malcolm alive. They stash Malcolm in the car and look for the others. Then comes the /Boom/. Water ripple. Guess who’s back? Sattler and Dick Muld get back just in time to drive away, but not without giving the world the iconic side view mirror shot. Back with Grant and kids, they find nice tree to sleep in. While in the tree, we see some development from Grant as his feelings towards kids change.

Back at the base of operations, John is eating his feelings with ice cream when Sattler joins him. John talks about his rationale for creating the park. He had a flea circus that was all tricks but when he could he wanted to make something real, no tricks. Then he ruins the moment by saying he wants to try again. But Sattler talks about how the park is an illusion of control and now they’re fucked over because people they care about are lost.

The next morning, Grant and kids wake up to a brachiosaurus eating off their tree. Grant feeds it, Tim pets it, and Lex gets sneezed on. It probably didn’t like her initial reaction of screaming. It’s like: “Girl please, it’s too early for this shit.”  As they continue on their trek through the forest, Grant finds dinosaur eggs proving that Malcolm was right, life found a way. They also briefly mention in the background that Lex is a hacker, which seems random, but trust me, it’s important  

Once again people are arguing because John wants to shut down the system to get rid of the virus fat man placed but Not- Nick doesn’t want to because the rest of the security, including the raptor pen fences, would go down. Even Dennis the asshole was smart enough to keep them on. But John wins and Not-Nick ends up doing it. Luckily it work, unfortunately, Not-Nick has to go across the main part of the park to turn the breakers back on.

You know how some movie have some gratuitous nudity and sex? Well, this movie is a little different, we get gratuitous dinosaurs. Grants and kids are marching along when they stumble across a see a herd of galaminus running around a field, looking dumb. But I they’re running away from Rex, so looking cool isn’t a priority. Grant and kids hide and watch as Rex catches and eats a galaminus. Then they leave. Gratuitous.

Sattler gets worried because Not-Nick is taking forever to turn on the breakers (due to circumstances previously discussed) so she and Dick Muld go to investigate. But it’s never that easy, the two of them have to evade the raptors that escaped. Sadly, this is where Dick Muld’s story ends, he gets eaten but Sattler makes it. This scene is good though because before Dick and Sattler leave, John is like: “Maybe I should go because you’re a woman.” But Sattler is like: “I’ll kick your sexist ass when I get back.” Those weren’t the exact words, but that’s what I heard.

On the last leg of their journey, Grant and kids have to climb a deactivated electric fence, and once again, it’s never easy. Of course they reach the fence right as Sattler is busy trying to turn the power back on. Grant and Lex get over the fence but Tim wimps out and just chills on the fence even when the alarm starts going off. Don’t be a little bitch Tim. Sattler turns the fences on and Tim gets shocked. While that’s happening, Sattler has to run away from raptors and in the process she finds the decoy arm Not-Nick left. Tim almost dies, but Grant saves him with CPR. I hope you learned your lesson, kid.

The J-crew makes it back to the visitors’ center and Grant leaves the kids to get help. But it’s okay because he left them in the dining room with a buffet. I’m always jealous of that. Grant finds Sattler right away and they hug; it’s a very nice reunion. Back with the kids, they are eating and having a good time but raptors show up and mood is ruined. They hide in the kitchen in a very intense scene, one of my favorite scenes in fact.  

Tim and Lex make it out of the kitchen and find Sattler and Grant. They reunited J-crew runs to the control room but they can’t lock the door because the system needs to be reset. Remember that thing I said seemed unimportant but it was actually important? This is it. Lex has her moment and reboots everything with her hacker skills, locking the door and turning the phones on. But the raptors say: “Fuck your doors,” and break through the glass. They escape through the ceiling and end up coming out of a vent next to the fossil display in the lobby. After jumping onto the fossils, they end up falling and are about to get eaten but suddenly REX. He shows up and saves the day, and by day I mean meal. Rex fucks up the raptors’ shit completely. The roar at the end with the banner flying down is amazing. Slow clap for Rex.  

Hammond and Malcolm pick them up in a jeep and everyone agrees to that the park is a death trap, even Hammond. They leave the island in a helicopter and the kids and Grant fall asleep next to each other and Sattler is like: “Awwww.”  It’s strangely calm after all that’s happened. Like they almost got eaten and now they are in a helicopter, silent as they leave. I think they all might be revaluating their lives after the near death experiences. But still…motherfucking dinosaurs, man.

The End.
