Since the premiere of “Jurassic Park” in 1993, this iconic movie has not only etched its mark in cinematic history but also deeply embedded itself into popular culture. Directed by the legendary Steven Spielberg and adapted from Michael Crichton’s bestselling 1990 novel of the same name, the film redefined visual effects and breathed life into dinosaurs in a manner never seen before on screen. Yet, it is not merely the innovative blend of computer-generated and practical effects that have kept audiences captivated; elements such as John Williams’ memorable score, witty dialogue, edge-of-your-seat chase scenes, and the unique sense of wonder only Spielberg could create have ensured that “Jurassic Park” remains a beloved classic more than 30 years after its debut.
As a diehard cinema enthusiast, even though this movie has been hailed as near-perfect by pretty much everyone, there’s one particular scene that has left fans scratching their heads for decades now. It feels almost blasphemous to point out a glitch in such a masterpiece, but someone on Reddit spotted a sequence that doesn’t quite add up.
In this movie scene towards the end, Ellie Sattler (performed by Laura Dern) and Alan Grant (portrayed by Sam Neill) find themselves in a chase with velociraptors within the park’s visitor center. As scientists, they become cornered in the control room while Tim and Lex Murphy (Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards) strive to restart the system and activate the locks.
In this tense situation, Alan and Ellie are defending themselves against a voracious velociraptor by keeping the door shut. However, pay attention to Ellie’s posture – she’s pushing on the side of the door next to the hinges, which means she’s not actually providing much force to keep it closed. Essentially, Alan is shouldering most of the effort to hold the door. To add insult to injury, Alan is urging Ellie to seize the gun that lies just beyond her reach; given her lack of contribution in maintaining the door’s closure, she ought to be able to grab the weapon and incapacitate the velociraptor. Regrettably, she refuses to move from her spot, instead protesting that she can’t get to the gun.
Although some viewers might find this as a minor detail, the scene moves so quickly in Jurassic Park that many people will likely overlook it. Moreover, it’s essential to remember that most individuals don’t behave logically when under stress, and since none of us have ever been pursued by velociraptors, we should try not to judge Dr. Sattler too harshly. In addition, given that none of the Jurassic Park sequels have matched the original’s quality, there are probably other scenes in the series that can be criticized more validly.
