My son was 8 when we sat down to watch the first Jurassic Park movie. He was shaking at the end. I learned a great lesson that day.

Ahh man, lil me was a dinosaur kid and loved that movie. Had it on repeat

Buuut I definitely remember the first scene with the raptor in the cage being all glitched up from fast forwarding the VHS so much haha

The t-rex sounds didn't terrify you? When that big boy starts screaming, I think that's when my boy got traumatized.

Now (mid-20s), he says he doesn't remember this, so big thanks for short term memory loss.

Hahaa yeah those effects were some crazy shit for a kid, especially back then. I think the dinosaur obsession kept me more in awe than in aaahhh there XD

But I was no match for Spielberg’s cinematography in that opener. “Shoot her…!!” got me more than any of the roars

I was this kid. I ran out of the room before the trex got out of the paddock. I couldn't watch the movie till I was in my 20's...
