12 Most Iconic Moments In Jurassic Park Franchise History

Not only is this the most iconic moment from any of the five Jurassic movies, it is one of the most iconic moments in cinema history. An island full of dinosaurs is something truly terrifying, but there is a certain wonderment about seeing these creatures brought back to life.

In the build up to seeing the island for the first time, naturally the excitement surrounded the likes of the T-Rex, and the Velociraptors, but it was the humble Brachiosaurus that welcomed us to the world of Jurassic Park.

When Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler see the majestic sauropod for the first time in the flesh, it is something truly moving. At the time in 1993, this was simply groundbreaking in terms of special effects, and still holds up to this day almost 30 years later.

Using the Brachiosaurus as the first dinosaur was a fantastic decision, as it showed exactly what John Hammond had in mind for his park, transporting everyone watching back to childhood, as it's the closest we'll ever get to the real thing. To the backdrop of one of the most recognisable scores John Williams has ever put together, this moment never, ever gets old.
