      We just rewatched the original Jurassic Park as a family, and GODDAMN does that movie hold up. Every single beat is perfect, and when I think how appalling the new Jurassic World films were, I just want to walk into the sea. The franchise was ROBBED.

      Like! Every single character has a solid emotional throughline. Dialogue that fleshes out the characters gets to happen naturalistically, so when it becomes relevant later, like Lex's skill with computers, it neither feels overly foreshadowed nor introduced out of nowhere.

      Everybody is allowed to look like a person. There's no Sexy Hollwood Gaze on any of the characters; Ian Malcolm is louche and horny, but the camera doesn't hug him. Ellie Satler dresses exactly like a woman who does fieldwork for a living.

      And god, the sensawunda! Even on the umpteenth viewing, that initial reveal of the brachiosaurus is genuinely magical. And even better, the film lets the characters *keep* their awe at the dinosaurs even after they're endangered by them, like with the gallimumus flock.

      Nor are there any gratuitous shock-deaths. The closest we get is the lawyer's death - which petrified 7yo me when I saw it in cinemas - but it's the culmination of a long tense build, not a sudden gory kill out of nowhere.

      At a craft level, it's just a spectacularly well-made film. And it makes me so mad to think how the new movies, on every level, looked at each detail that made the original a success and went, "OK, but what if we did something EDGY and DIFFERENT."

      Jurassic Park: Ellie is kind, funny, brave, competent in the field, dresses for her job, calls out sexism and gets realistically dirty instead of Hollywood Hot-Dirty. Jurassic World: Claire has #girlboss power because she wears all white and heels in the jungle while hating kids.

      JP: Dr Grant is a gruff, sarcastic man who's awkward around kids, but opens up to protecting them while still maintaining his personality. JW: Owen is a showboating asshole.

          JP: Lex and Tim have distinct personalities and interact realistically as siblings. They are realistically terrified and vulnerable. JW: Zach and Gray's parents are maybe getting a divorce but it's never raised again, Zach is a baby sexist and we know little about either of them.

          JP: The dinosaurs behave like real animals, so that the same t-rex who menaced the humans ends up saving them by virtue of hunting the raptors. JW: Owen is a magic Raptor Whisperer and in the second film we get a t-rex roaring and killing instead of running from a live volcano.

          JP: Slow, emotional build before introducing the dinosaurs, so that the audience is captivated along with the characters. JW: Here's a bunch of CGI baby dinos with no introduction and no sensawunda, we're gonna pan away from them now bc the park is about Capitalism, Babey.

          ANYWAY I could do this for literal hours but the point is, Jurassic Park still kicks ass and the Jurassic World films suck dinosaur nutsack.
