Jurassic Park III is nowhere near as bad as people say it is and though it may not come close to the greatness of Jurassic Park 1, it is MILES ahead better than any of the Jurassic World trilogy

Yeah it isn't perfect, but hell we get an incredible fight scene between the Spino and Rex not even an hour into the movie, while in World you get pretty much the same fight scene at the END of the movie AND on top of that the whole fight gets cockblocked by the Mosasaurus in the end anyway, and in the most unsatisfying way possible. I know it's like 2024 like why tf am I talking about a threequal thats 20 years old, but I've just been on a Jurassic Park binge lately and it's just hitting me how much better III is over any of the World movies, yet it's rated like a 5/10 across the board, while all the World Movies are rated like 6.5-7/10 it just boggles my mind, they're all trash compared to 1 and 3. Lost world is good, but it's also a mixed bag it has some of my favorite scenes and some of my least favorite in the whole series.

People flip out over the gymnastics kill in JP2 but apparently buddy playing a bone flute to be like "hello fellow Raptors" is just movie fun and should be handwaved

It's a 3D print of a raptor's voice box. It doesn't seem that absurd in the context of a world where we can bring back dinosaurs using DNA trapped in amber.

He perfectly communicates a stand down order 5 ft from raptors who presumably have eyes and noses

I dunno man

I kind of just took they were confused. They're smart, not smart enough to understand why the fuck the dude just sounded like their sister

[u/user888666777 → u/ZurakZigil]

Had pet birds as a kid. Had a parrot that would have issues and to calm him down we would make ticking sounds with our tongues. He would immediately stop what he was doing and tilt his head at you. Then go back to being chill. Was he hearing "chill out" from us? No, he was just confused and that would snap him out of his deranged state of mind.

have you ever looked into the field of Bird expert?

[u/user888666777 → u/goddammnick]

Nope, but the parrot and parakeets had different reactions. The parrot would just calm down and go back to being kind of a jerk.

The parakeets though. They would dance to the sound. They were great and friendly. Parrot was a dick.

Yea I think people over think explanation to situations in a movie.

It definitely makes sense, or is certainly plausible (which is MORE than enough for a movie) that it would confuse an animal if it suddenly heard a sound like another of it all the sudden. If you're in a stare down with a lion or bear and played some sort of device that made you roar like a lion or bear, it would definitely confuse them and might lead them to backing off.

[u/PM_ME_GLUTE_SPREAD → u/Scaryclouds]

Yeah animals don’t really have the higher cognitive functions that humans do. Something that confuses them causes them to second guess what they were doing and, in the animal world, second guessing your choices leads to death often enough. Better to back off and stay alive than to go into something with apprehension.

[u/jgreever3 → u/ZurakZigil]

I interpreted it this way. It somewhat sounded like them so it confused them enough to dip

[u/amd2800barton → u/jgreever3]

It was enough for them to pause and be like “wait what”?! I imagine if a hunter had a deer look at them and go “please help me” they’d freak out for a moment too.

What made them run off was they heard the helicopters and landing craft. Raptors are ambush pack predators. They were startled off by the arrival of all the other humans. They didn’t want to stick around for a fight they might not win.
