Excited for Jurassic World? Of course you are! Jurassic Park was a #1 box office smash, and the book by Michael Crichton was a #1 New York Times Best Seller. We’ll take a look at the book and the movie side-by-side, and tell you: “What’s the Difference?” Subscribe: goo.gl/9AGRm
The road from page to screen wasn’t seamless. While the filmmakers weren’t pursued by velociraptors, a lot of elements of the story did get changed. From plot details and character changes, to a whole lot of dinosaurs getting ignored (or name-changed!), we’ll take you through every difference between the book and the movie. All sorts of fun facts you can share with your friends in line for Jurassic World!
Have you read Jurassic Park, or The Lost World? How long has it been since you’ve seen the original Jurassic Park movie? Are you now humming the Jurassic Park theme (we know you are!)? Did we inspire you to look more closely at the dinosaurs in Jurassic World this summer?

The most annoying difference to me is that in the book Grant figures out the dinosaurs can only see movement because they were mixed with frog DNA and that's a vision trait of certain frogs. The movie implies that it's a known trait of dinosaurs themselves, which is just straight up wrong and stupid.

In the novel, the reason for nobody noticing the dino's breeding is because the computer sensors are only counting if all expected dino's are accounted for; not how many there are in total. I always felt that was a brilliantly stupid computer design mistake that just might happen in real life.

The biggest difference to me is Nedry’s motivation. In the movie he’s just an opportunist who’s looking to make more money by selling out Hammond’s work. In the book he was hired by Hammond to do coding but was constantly overworked well beyond his capabilities, was forced to do work outside of his contracts that Hammond kept changing, and was blackballed in the IT industry by Hammond so his only option was to continue working for Jurassic Park or else he’d never have another job. It paints a much different picture of why Nedry did what he did and one can almost sympathize with his betrayal in the book compared to the movie.

It’s also mentioned in the novel that the velociraptor was a hybrid of the Denonicus to make them much larger for the tourists..

I really hated lex in the book she was constantly being a brat and was always doing the opposite of what everyone said I have never been so angry at a character before

I loved that scene in the book when they discover that the surveillance system of JP has been counting the Dinosaurs on the island only up to the maximum limit that the park personnel predefined because they were dead certain there could be no more dinosaurs than those they had cloned. When they tell the surveillance system to search for up to 200 individual dinosaurs instead of the original, much smaller number, the computer ends up counting more and more previously undetected dinosaurs... and the most terrifying number on the screen ends up being the head count among velociraptors, which count in the dozens. That was a chilling scene that I would have loved to see on screen. The creeping horror as the realization dawns on the control room personnel what fatal mistake they have made... glorious!

They left out the best part of the book: drunk Muldoon yelling at raptors.

I never forgave the movie for killing Muldoon. He was my favorite character.

Switching lex and Tim was one of the things the movie did better

Nedrys death in the novel is horrifying. It describes him being being blinded and feeling his entrails being violently ripped from his body.

Jurassic Park 3 is basically all the scene from the two books that didn't make the two films.

I would like to thank the talented but deceased Michael Crichton for bringing these amazing stories to life.

The book touches on how brilliant many dinosaur's vision is, especially Tyrannosaur (best of any land predator ever) and that the DNA sequences lost in time were mostly oriented in these large complicated areas. They used a frog to replace the lost DNA unwittingly, giving the dinosaurs the ability to reproduce on top of having fly-eating vision that only responds to sharp movement. Alan explains all the dinosaurs had essentially been bred to need glasses.

Fun fact, the whole “dinosaurs can only see movement” in the novel is explained away with the inclusion of some amphibian DNA in the dinosaur specimens which is also where they get the ability to reproduce. In the movie they don’t explain this, convincing a whole generation that dinosaurs can’t see what isn’t moving, but in reality, dinosaurs probably could see you T-posing to assert your dominance.
