00:00Opening a movie with 26 seconds of pitch black is pretty baller.
00:08Spielberg knows he's got us, he can do whatever he wants.
00:11I can't be the only one who still says Jurassic Park The Lost World, right?
00:14This is the only feature title in the franchise that doesn't start with Jurassic.
00:17And fun fact, a year after initially publishing the book,
00:19they changed the name to Michael Crichton's Jurassic World, no relation.
00:24No real sound, but liquid shaking inside glasses can mean only one thing,
00:28and Spielberg totally fakes us out.
00:31Darling, what about snakes?
00:35Look, she's clearly meant to be a helicopter parent,
00:36but do you see those freaking waves?
00:39No chance my kids are wandering off on some island we just, like,
00:42happened to anchor in here?
00:43I'm not even worried about snakes or a few compsignathists.
00:46If she steps a foot in that water, she's gone forever.
00:49And the thing about kids is that they step feet in everything all the times.
00:53But points to the Jurassic franchise for consistency with child endangerment,
00:56while in the end letting us know they're okay.
00:58What's higher? Is this a bird or something?
01:01Great guess. Or something is very close.
01:03But I always love the little nods to in-real-life paleontology,
01:06like the connection to birds, almost as if Spielberg is making fun of his own movies.
01:09This scene comes from the first Jurassic Park novel.
01:11Of course, in the novel, the tiny dinos are pro-compsignathists,
01:15not compsignathists, and only an idiot would get them confused.
01:20What an amazing scream and face from the mom that absolutely makes me imagine her daughter
01:24in pieces rather than,
01:25Well, she's fine, she's fine.
01:26But just seeing your kids surrounded by little green monsters might get that reaction.
01:32But more important is this tippy-top-tier, almost match-cut transition.
01:37Ian's yawning, open mouth matching the scream in the palm tree poster and subway screeching?
01:42Excellence.
01:43This is like my sixth video with Jeff Goldblum, and I'm just now realizing what a giant he is.
01:476'4".
01:48And I know I mentioned my sister-in-law's crush in the first video, but it's really this movie that solidifies that for me.
01:52I mean her.
01:53I believed you.
01:57It probably doesn't really occur to you at the end of the first movie,
02:00but of course InGen is going to bury the events and even encourage the idea
02:03that it was a big hoax and turn it into a conspiracy.
02:05Dr. Malcolm.
02:07Hello, Dr. Malcolm.
02:09And I know that most of us remember Ian as the voice of reason and also Goldblum's glistening pectorals,
02:14but let's not forget that he drew the T-Rex away from the kids,
02:16saving their lives and endangering his own.
02:18Serious hero points.
02:19Yeah, I did, and you lied.
02:20You twisted the facts surrounding the deaths of three people.
02:23It's sort of crazy that even Malcolm, who was there and has insider information,
02:26is short at least two deaths that we know of.
02:29You got Clever Girl, Hold On To Your Butts, and Lawyer that he knows of,
02:32plus uh-uh-uh, and SHOOTAAA.
02:35A line Jude and I have been quoting to each other daily, lately, I don't know why.
02:38Careful, this suit costs more than your education.
02:43Possibly true in 97, but he's got a bachelor's and master's and two PhDs.
02:47The last two don't usually cost much or anything, but if bro's spending 200k in a suit.
02:51Anyway, it's actually the way he says education that makes me want him to die the most.
02:54Education.
02:56That quick cut before you have a chance to fully see velociraptors,
02:58because of course there are raptors.
03:00Don't worry, Ian.
03:01I'm not making the same mistakes again.
03:03No, you're making, you're making all new ones.
03:06Nobody Goldblum's like Goldblum.
03:07In fact, he deserves his own box.
03:09And there are those in the company who wanted to exploit Site B in order to bail us out.
03:14I like how he says this as if it's just a natural repercussion of existing,
03:17and not a fatal flaw in the system he's using to manipulate Ian.
03:20Also, Pete Posseltwaite shadowing.
03:22There, wee girl was injured.
03:25Oh, she's fine, she's fine.
03:26And I love that it's Malcolm's posture change that makes Hammond immediately
03:29assure him the girl's fine.
03:30So you went from capitalist to naturalist in just four years.
03:33That's, that's something.
03:36It's our last chance at redemption.
03:40Our last chance.
03:41The absolute gall.
03:43Ian's eye roll is everything.
03:45John?
03:47No.
03:48Of course.
03:48Uh, no.
03:49What about making the initial father by herself?
03:53I think she's dying.
03:54I'm fussy.
03:55Laughing about the comparison to a primatologist who was murdered
03:58for interfering with poachers kind of sums up Hammond pretty well.
04:00It's not a research expedition anymore.
04:02It's a rescue operation and it's leaving right now.
04:05And now we know who our hero is.
04:10The theme kicking in really gets the blood pumping.
04:13Quirky weirdo or greedy sociopath?
04:15I'll let you decide.
04:16JK, the movie already decided.
04:18He had a sliver of an excuse in the first movie because only one lowly worker guy got
04:22eaten by the big one before he invited his grandchildren to Human Digester Island.
04:26But now he should know better than to be putting people in mortal danger while
04:30he himself sleeps in his castle.
04:31His hands clean of dirt but covered in blood like every tyrant before him.
04:34Ow, ow, ow, ow, don't do that, don't do that.
04:36You gotta baby it a little bit, you gotta love it.
04:38I'll love it when it works.
04:39It'll work when you love it.
04:40I never knew how much I needed Toby and Malcolm to meet.
04:42Greenpeace, uh, what drew you there?
04:45Women.
04:46That little pause hinting at his true motivation.
04:49I wouldn't be going on this wild goose chase.
04:51Uh, where you're going is the only place in the world where the geese chase you.
04:54It's that delivery.
04:55Although Ian clearly hasn't met many geese.
04:57They will attack you.
04:58You don't understand anything.
05:00You don't feel anything.
05:02You're not my mom.
05:04She doesn't even have Sega.
05:05She's such a troglodyte.
05:06Cruel, but good word use.
05:08This came up in Lilo and Stitch, so just to be sure.
05:10Where are you going anyway?
05:16Uh, it's only for a few days, but I wouldn't be going if it wasn't, if it wasn't.
05:19Dang, was he about to say life or death situation and then cut himself off remembering who he was
05:23talking to?
05:24Been there.
05:25Because you turned out to be so, uh, brilliant and powerful and funny and generous.
05:29The queen, the goddess, my inspiration.
05:31Compliments.
05:31Gymnastics?
05:33I scrubbed out that.
05:34I got cut from the team.
05:35Thanks for knowing.
05:36Raptor uneven bar shadowing.
05:37And it keeps the researchers out of harm's way.
05:40Uh, actually they put him in a very convenient biting height.
05:43Even though I took French in school, I know the five deaths when I see it.
05:46Dead Island or Island of the Dead feels a little lazy, but Butchers slash Slaughterers Island,
05:51Island of Sorrow, and Stingy Island are all on point.
05:54But the real reveal here is that Sorna is sarcasm?
05:59What does that mean?
06:01Five deaths, he says.
06:03Geez, read a map, guys.
06:05JK, no one noticed the map, and this is a way better reveal.
06:07Sarah!
06:08Sarah Harding!
06:10How many Sarahs do you think are on this island?
06:12The Stegosaurus that comes in from behind them always catches me off guard.
06:16Such an awesome way to immerse us.
06:17This is magnificent.
06:18Oh yeah, ooh, ah, that's how it always starts.
06:22But then later there's running and screaming.
06:25Nobody Goldbloom's like Goldbloom.
06:27Hey Nick!
06:29I want to mock all these people for their insane lack of situational awareness,
06:33but really it just sells the idea that they're so mesmerized by the majesty of dinos,
06:37they're missing everything else around them.
06:38File this under stuff we'd all want to do, but obviously no.
06:42Still, the practical animatronics combined with visual effects sell these moments amazingly.
06:45Is this even possible?
06:49What?
06:50Shoot him!
06:52Just protecting their baby, so am I.
06:54Aww.
06:55Still, I like that idea is conflicted.
06:57Makes an already likable character more likable.
06:59Hope he gets to stay in one piece.
07:02Before this movie, I never even considered being afraid of Stegos,
07:05even with how dope I knew their thagomizer was.
07:08This scene changed that.
07:09I've worked around predators since I was 20 years old.
07:12Lions, jackals, hyenas, you.
07:14Ha! Compliments.
07:17Where's the fire?
07:18Ha! There, it's there.
07:19Robert Burke said the T-Rex was a rogue who would abandon its young at the earliest opportunity.
07:24I know I can prove otherwise.
07:26I just love this writing.
07:27Everything that happens is always set up so cleanly in these movies.
07:30Not only do they not abandon their young, but we'll get to it.
07:32Who started a fire?
07:34I just wanted to make dinner.
07:37I really do get this train of thought.
07:40And if kids didn't make the bad things they did worse by trying to fix them with worse things,
07:44they wouldn't be kids.
07:45You practically told me to come here.
07:47I, what?
07:48You said to me, don't listen to me.
07:51Honestly, fair. I feel like Malcolm's sardonic demeanor is entertaining if you're an adult,
07:54but probably be hard to navigate as his kid.
07:56Violence and technology?
07:59Not good bedfellows.
08:00Pfft, tell that to Duolingo.
08:01You miss one Spanish class and now every lesson opens with
08:04FAYAMA OTRA VEZ
08:06Y SERAN LAS TRES MUERTAS PARA TI
08:08I don't know what it means, but it feels ominous.
08:10If you're staying, I'd be happy to deliver a letter to your wife or your loved one,
08:14give a chance to say goodbye, okay?
08:16The crosstalk from these two is so real.
08:17Feels like this is exactly how conversations go IRL for them.
08:20You know, Kelly, Kelly, this is tall talk.
08:23Just for a minute.
08:25It's like a height restriction and an amusement park.
08:28Dang, that's good. Tall talk is my new go-to and I need the kids to go away.
08:32What bothers you is that I'm not afraid of this place and you are.
08:34Of course I am. That's the whole thing.
08:37For the record, a T-Rex went in for the kill on Ian and he survived
08:40by essentially riding its snout into a building and getting knocked out under debris.
08:44So while his character comes off a little paranoid here,
08:46it's important to remember he's not.
08:48They're all nuts. He's the only smart one here.
08:50This is a game trail, Mr. Ludlow.
08:52Carnivores hunt on game trails.
08:54Do you want to set up base camp or a buffet?
08:56I mean, a buffet sounds lovely.
08:57In my fee, you can keep it.
08:59All I want in exchange for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs.
09:03On first glance, Roland Tempo could feel like a redo of Muldoon from the first film
09:06and their styling is certainly similar.
09:08But Muldoon was a warden.
09:09The caretaking of the dinosaurs was his priority.
09:11Tempo is a big game hunter and while he is later shown to have a moral code,
09:15he still hunts for sport.
09:16Utterly no need for this over-the-top shot.
09:18Wouldn't change up frame.
09:19Pack you. Pack you.
09:22Oh, help.
09:23The fat heads would be bald spot.
09:24The fried tongue.
09:25And the big game hunter not even bothering
09:27to learn the names of the animals he's hunting feels pretty on point.
09:30Easily a top five scene in the franchise.
09:32The sound design of the dinosaur noises,
09:33the frenetic speed of the vehicle showing off how fast the dinos are as they try to keep up.
09:37You see that distinctive dome skull?
09:39One inch is a solid bone.
09:41Perfect for absorbing impact.
09:44Classic setup and visual punchline.
09:46If you're wondering how they know how to capture these dinos,
09:48just remember InGen literally created them and definitely would have designed specific
09:52equipment for each one.
09:53It was all probably just sitting in a warehouse somewhere after the first movie.
09:55The one with the big red horn.
09:57The pompadour.
09:57Albert.
09:59Again, Muldoon respected the animals and knew what they were actually called,
10:02but that might actually be an improvement for the Parasaurolophus,
10:05even if pompadour might work better for what it was originally going to be, a Corythosaurus.
10:09This has made me realize that the Parasaurolophus in Dominion must be a baby,
10:12because Elvis is enormous.
10:14Is it dangerous?
10:16Uh, no, I wouldn't think so.
10:18There haven't been any visitors to this island.
10:20There's no reason for it to fear man.
10:22Brutal death by a thousand bites shadowing.
10:24What a super secret foreshadowing that one was.
10:26I know that dinosaurs are supposed to be the worst thing on sarcasm,
10:29but that swarm around their heads would be the reason I bail.
10:37In a franchise chock full of bad ideas, this is darn close to number one.
10:41They all 100% deserve what's coming to them.
10:43For the record, this is probably number one,
10:44although we're thankful for it because we got to see Wes Mantooth carrying a baby rex.
10:48If you assume you're the only ones on the island with opposable thumbs,
10:51having no guards makes sense.
10:53Shame the NDAs must have kept them in the dark about raptors and their...
10:56talents.
10:57But he abandoned it in favor of something far grander.
11:02And then he abandoned that because of this,
11:04but you don't seem to get that yet.
11:06Glad that Triceratops could help you understand with a little classic dino destruction.
11:12Wouldn't be Jurassic Park without a near miss involving a vehicle in a tree.
11:16That's the last time I leave you in charge.
11:18Careful, he'll really get you back by giving you non-face matching ethnicity eyes.
11:22Or would chip you. Could go either way.
11:26You're nuts.
11:27Correct, that's nuts.
11:28With seven Jurassic movies and two shows,
11:30it's hard to remember that this was just the second piece of media ever.
11:33And based on the first one, we immediately knew Night Rain was a bad omen.
11:36Other animals are going to hear this.
11:38Correct.
11:39Please, I want to get out of here.
11:40I want to go someplace safe.
11:40No, I want to go someplace safe.
11:42And appropriate and correct reaction.
11:44No, this is nothing like that.
11:45We're in a completely different situation right now.
11:48They are. It's so much worse.
11:54Such an iconic sound.
11:55I love that it's implied that the T-Rex got back to the nest to find the baby missing,
11:58but we don't see any of it.
11:59Creates way more terror.
12:00The harder you squeeze, the slower you go.
12:02You don't squeeze at all.
12:03I got the idea. I got the idea.
12:07I wish I would've squeezed just a little bit harder.
12:09Classic, especially because he was warned so succinctly.
12:13Again, hiding what we already know, but these two really have no idea.
12:16Heck yeah.
12:19We're supposed to root for the T-Rexes, right?
12:21Mommy's very angry.
12:23It's such an easy way to up the stakes that absolutely doesn't feel cheap.
12:26There's a baby, so yeah, there's gonna be two T-Rexes.
12:29And the scratches and scars on this one's face?
12:31She done seen some stuff.
12:32Oh, now we're scared.
12:34Well, that's helpful.
12:35I do actually believe that you can't conceive of what this would be like until you were there.
12:39The way they both keep stalking along the windows.
12:41I do love that Sarah still does not fully comprehend how absolutely screwed they are.
12:45You know, I beg people to listen to me.
12:47I use plain, simple English.
12:48I don't have any accent that I'm wearing.
12:49Aw, shut up.
12:50It's mostly a guess, but the subtitles don't always capture exactly what Ian says.
12:54The accent bit wasn't in there, so I have to assume that's Goldbloom Goldblooming.
12:57Hang on, this is gonna be bad.
12:59I also respect the decision to not show the T-Rex charging at the camper.
13:02The impact has felt more staying inside this big practical stunt.
13:07They're pushing us over the cliff.
13:08Also, not gonna lie, I like that they're allowed to be pissed off.
13:11Animals are usually portrayed as noble and fair in movies, but they have their own personalities.
13:16And like, all they know is that you stole their baby.
13:18It's hurt and in pain, so yeah, you're going over a cliff.
13:21The start to another one of the best and most memorable set pieces in the entire series.
13:27God. Oh, God.
13:29The sound alone has haunted my nightmares ever since.
13:31But the spider webbing from each fingertip?
13:33Uh...Heads up!
13:39Very Mission Impossible Fallout.
13:41Or, I guess, technically Mission Impossible Fallout is very The Lost World Jurassic Park.
13:45Anything else?
13:46Yeah, three double cheeseburgers with everything.
13:48No onions on mine!
13:49I don't know if we'll turn it over!
13:51The fact that all three of them had something really lands it.
13:54You know we love a one-er, it creates a sense of realism.
13:56Even Eddie failing to grab the cable on his first try, we've all been there.
13:59Unfortunately, the West Wing wouldn't come out for another two years,
14:02and Richard Schiff wasn't very recognizable, so you know what that means.
14:06This whole sequence is killer, and we probably don't sing Eddie's praises enough
14:08for everything he goes through because of what happens next,
14:11but dude goes through it to save their lives.
14:14Even in the face of that many teeth, he keeps trying to save them.
14:17But okay, I said it was fine and good that they were still mad about the baby,
14:20but this is just rude.
14:22Now it's like they went home, tucked the little tyke in,
14:24and came back because the noise was keeping the little guy up.
14:26You can roar politely without ripping people in half.
14:29And it's even worse because they really make us feel like he's gonna make it.
14:32The tire.
14:34Huh, very Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1.
14:37Right, I guess technically Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 is very The Lost World Jurassic Park.
14:41I know you. You're that Earth First bastard, huh?
14:45Earth First!
14:46It's fun that Nick is a double secret environmentalist,
14:48pretending like Greenpeace was just for the hot dates.
14:50That's not the problem.
14:52What is the problem?
14:54Velociraptors.
14:55Yeah, I'd probably drink too.
14:56Tyrannosaurus got the largest proportional olfactory cavity of any creature in the fossil record,
15:01with the exception of one.
15:02T-Rex smell shadowing.
15:04Rex just fed, so he won't stalk us for food.
15:07Just fed? I assume you're talking about Eddie? You might show a little respect.
15:10Two things. Thank you, Malcolm, for sticking up for Eddie. He earned it.
15:13Second, the only way Roland could know that the Rex is fed was if he and his goons were already there
15:17when it happened, which means they watched and did nothing. Heartless cowards.
15:21Therefore, every death of the InGen team from now on is a win. I don't make the rules.
15:25What the hell are you doing here?
15:27Somewhere on this island is the greatest predator that ever lived.
15:30Second greatest predator must take him down.
15:33Nick's actual intentions aside, it honestly checks out that these two might get along.
15:36Plenty of hardcore environmentalists are hunters themselves,
15:38and plenty of hunters care deeply about the environment.
15:40The irony here, of course, is that Pete Posseltwaite was actually a leftist environmentalist,
15:44and Vince Fogg, not so much.
15:45Say, I haven't had a chance to wish you luck on your new business venture.
15:48You're off to a promising start.
15:51Taking dinosaurs off this island is the worst idea, and I'm gonna be there when you learn that.
15:57Nobody Goldbloom's like Goldbloom. And he is there. He doesn't really see it, but he's there.
16:01It's from a baby. I said it's broken leg. It's not drying in the humidity.
16:05Hey, who am I to judge the clotting factors of cloned dinosaurs? But also eat some food,
16:09drink some water, maybe take a nap and really think about what you just said, Sarah.
16:13Although we did say we want more in-gen guys to get eaten, so maybe she heard our earlier win.
16:17The actual sinister truth is that Roland knows what the problem is,
16:20but wants the T-Rex to track them so he can hunt it. Impressive level of not giving an F.
16:24So you wait for me here, okay?
16:29Great plot device, and great reminder that if you're out anywhere you don't know,
16:32you stay with a buddy at all times, even if you're Peter Stormare.
16:35Being next to a buddy in the wilderness is one of nature's greatest gifts anyway.
16:38This low angle camera steady cam shot following him is so genius, like we're with the compies
16:43stalking him. And then again from three separate directions. That's never not brutal.
16:49How can something so cute be so dangerous? Or better put, if not friend, why friend shape?
16:55The subtle little looks from Nick. This is one of those scenes that probably seems a little
16:58ridiculous after you've seen it a hundred times, because even though there's a huge pack of them,
17:02how do you let your size not count for anything? And the reason is that Dieter doesn't see them as a
17:06threat to his life, just an annoyance. And by the time he realizes he's cooked, it's too late,
17:10and he's too exhausted to escape. And there are a lot of them.
17:17Comeuppance.
17:18If he's alive, we'll find him. Miss Harley? No one tells the little girl.
17:22Aww, he's a big ol' softy.
17:25Heck yeah, classic T-Rex water surface ripples.
17:28Oh no.
17:31Correct, you are stupid, and while you were trying to sleep, it looks like you only ate sugar,
17:34explaining this insane lapse in judgment. Such an iconic shot that triggers some primal fear of
17:39a monster invading their safe space while they sleep.
17:44And the sound design, the breath and purr sounds are so overpowering.
17:48And they both sell the terror. I can just imagine the smell of the wreck's breath filling the tent
17:52would be enough to wake you up.
17:53Stay out, stay out, don't move! Don't move! Don't run!
17:57I understand in the moment it's going to be total panic, but has anyone listened to Malcolm,
18:01the only guy with actual experience at all, like in the entire film?
18:05Oh man, stomp and drag is brutal.
18:07But Dan Carter, you may have had it coming as the guy who got Dieter killed,
18:10and the guy who started the panic.
18:12This Rex is a little freak, aren't they?
18:15Oh, the crunch.
18:16That guy was a little too earnest to live in the Jurassic Park universe.
18:20If you know, you know.
18:20Don't go into the long grass!
18:23See, he know.
18:24I like that you don't even need to know anything about raptors to understand that tall grass makes
18:28you a meal for any predator. Even this one.
18:33Oh my god, so awesome.
18:34I have a distinct memory of several people in the theater audibly shuddering at this shot.
18:41In the silence of the kills, which you might be thinking, Muldoon screamed quite a bit,
18:44but he was the only prey that time, and this time they want to be sure they get as many snacks as
18:49possible. So a quick neck bite would serve them well. And since all in-gen deaths count,
18:53we're up to seven just in the first melee. Amazing restraint to wait almost 90 minutes
19:00into the sequel before showing the dinosaur that was arguably the star of the original.
19:05Go. As fast as you can.
19:08The purr. And I know raptors are the obvious threat here, but goodness,
19:11I hope they check for ticks later.
19:13See anyone who thinks they can keep up. Well, let me try.
19:15Okay, here we come.
19:16The main theme struggling to break through the thriller score.
19:26The sound and the visual of Roland just sitting there is all we need.
19:29We know exactly what happened and what's making that noise.
19:31Nick. Nick Van Owen.
19:35How many Knicks you think are on this island?
19:37More of a pounce scare than a jump scare, but I love that it's a wider shot.
19:40Adds to the feeling that they're kind of alone there.
19:42Second film in a row where Malcolm puts himself in mortal danger for kids.
19:45Some of the gags during the terror in this one are hilarious.
19:53Ingenuity. At least if you know there's breakaway glass behind you.
19:57Why is the snorting always so scary?
19:59I'm out. I'm right behind you.
20:01A plus jump scare. I never remember it and it gets me every time.
20:08There's definitely a version of this where it just grabs her leg and pulls her out,
20:11but as it is, perfect scene. No notes.
20:13The school cut you from the team?
20:15No notes.
20:16Nice one, Sarah. She didn't even pause to think about it.
20:18I always love when they snap at each other.
20:20Something, something, demon brinks and fighting orcs and Mordor.
20:23You know what I'm saying.
20:23What about the others? There must be more survivors.
20:25At another time we're coming!
20:26Even now, our dude is worried about the safety of others.
20:29Dang, that is so on point.
20:31Could easily be a Northrop Grumman or Raytheon slogan.
20:33Well, that's one souvenir that won't be taken with him.
20:37Hurry it up. I'd love to be airborne before the female knows we're here.
20:42Two movies in a row of people trying to save some animals ending up doing something way worse.
20:47If he'd let him keep the bullets, at least Rexy 2.0 lost in San Diego would be dead.
20:51I mean, thank goodness he didn't.
20:52There's a job for you at the park in San Diego if you wanted.
20:54No, thank you.
20:57I believe I've spent enough time in the company of death.
20:59Killer line. And yeah, he clearly means InGen, not the dinosaurs.
21:02I wish I'd have stayed in the damn car.
21:04Nobody Goldblooms like Goldbloom.
21:07What expert buildup.
21:08Everyone staring, the sound, Ludlow staring at the radar, and then the boat coming out of the pitch black.
21:17Feels very Jaws. Wonder if Spielberg knows the director.
21:19And yeah, this leaves some questions, but my take has always been that we're just not shown
21:23the side of the bridge wall that got destroyed.
21:25I think one thing that is often missed about this...
21:29scene is that the T-Rex wasn't originally below deck.
21:31He was sedated up in this cage and broke free.
21:33So the theory is that the Rex got free, munched the crew, and then with their last
21:37dying breaths, one or two crew members got him into the hold.
21:42Yep.
21:43Now you're John Hammond.
21:44I absolutely love that amidst the chaos and people fleeing for their lives,
21:47Malcolm took a moment to quietly walk up behind Peter and hit him with a one-liner.
21:51And why not? After all, nobody Goldblooms like Goldbloom.
21:54Buck laughs at your immigration and customs laws.
22:00Well that he's not like, what is all this? Why am I here?
22:02He just roars a challenge to the city.
22:04And this is why we're here.
22:05The tensions of so many of the Jurassic Park movies is,
22:08but what if dinosaurs were in our world and this is the moment it actually happens?
22:12Get me my Twizzlers.
22:14Where's the infant?
22:17Where's the facility?
22:18The way they both come into his space to ask questions.
22:22Just right through the wall like it isn't there.
22:23I love how chill this kid is throughout the whole ordeal.
22:32There's a dinosaur in our backyard.
22:34How will we find the adult?
22:36Follow the screens.
22:37AHHHHH!
22:37Perfect cut and nobody Goldblooms like Goldbloom.
22:41If we're talking about dinos on the mainland, our brains automatically go to the T-Rex eating people,
22:45but the insane destruction would also be pretty gnarly.
22:48Yes, that is Arnold Schwarzenegger in Shakespeare's King Lear,
22:51and Robin Williams in a movie called Jack and the Bane Stalks.
22:54Also, I can smell this blockbuster.
22:56It's delicious, essentially pure happiness.
22:58And yes, that's Tom Hanks in Tsunami Surprise,
23:00which feels like the reason we got cast away.
23:05Also, just absolutely incredible sound design on David Koepp's demise.
23:08The writer, by the way, checks out that he missed the pull sign on that door.
23:11You're never going to know we have it if the thing won't make some kind of sound!
23:14Come on, wake up.
23:19He knows.
23:20Nobody Goldblooms like Julianne more.
23:22Wait, no, it counts.
23:23Where's the Rex?
23:25Is it still behind us?
23:27Buck's timing is truly impressive.
23:32Gotta love that they just do their plan as fast as possible without even bothering with a glance at
23:36Ludlow.
23:36Sarah finally understands the situation.
23:38And look, it's a trope at this point for the universe,
23:45because Rexy sneaks up on the raptors in the first one,
23:47so Buck can sneak up on Ludlow, but I buy it.
23:50He's still making noise,
23:51but Ludlow is fixated on the infant and also a stupid greedy person.
23:57Dumbuppance.
23:58Also brutal.
23:58Also Boatsnack.
24:06Teamwork.
24:08Hero shop for saving the Rex and the baby.
24:10Correct.
24:10Most realistic moment of the film.
24:12Aww, and the murderous parents are reunited with their baby.
24:14And if we could only step aside and trust in nature,
24:21life will find a way.
24:22So he steals Malcolm's line and takes no responsibility for the destruction and death.
24:26That is entirely his fault.
24:28He's lucky he's such a soft-spoken old man, or he'd be in some real trouble.
24:31I'm just kidding.
24:32Nothing bad would ever happen to him.
24:33Ending on the Pteranodon is maybe the weirdest choice in this entire movie.
24:36Oh my gosh, it's setting up Jurassic Park 3 in the birdcage.
24:39Fair.
24:40Got me.
24:40They got me.
24:41Also for the record, when I was a kid, every flying reptile was a pterodactyl.
24:44You kids don't know how good you have it.
24:45Making Ian Malcolm the main character and letting Jeff Goldblum run the movie
24:48probably seems like a considerable risk if the only thing you'd seen him in was Jurassic Park,
24:52but he was pretty much a sure thing in the 90s.
24:54And while you can't touch the cultural touchstone that the first movie is,
24:58there are some scenes in this one that stand out above the entire franchise.
25:01The T-Rex attack, the raptor hunt, really every set piece is memorable.
25:06I'm terrible at being objective about it because I grew up on these movies.
25:08But you don't come here for objectivity anyway.
25:10I don't know what to expect from Rebirth, but come on, it's the Jurassic movie.
25:14I'm gonna watch it, but not next week.
25:16Next week, something totally unexpected.
25:19Well, before you saw this frame, but before it.
25:21Ha!
25:22Unexpected.
25:32Alan!
