In the midst of visually awesome dinosaur action and scares, there's more than a few tearjerking moments in ''Film/JurassicPark''. After all, it's a movie that was directed by Creator/StevenSpielberg, a man who knows how to make us cry.

** The trailer for ''VideoGame/JurassicParkSurvival'' hints the raptor may not entirely be gone just yet, however. With the door being shown to be open, it means that shortly after the film, the raptor finally managed to escape the fridge.

* Because of his AdaptationalHeroism, John Hammond is a pretty tragic character when you think about it. He's worked for years to realize his dream, and it looked as if it had finally come true. Instead, his dream crumbles around him and results in the horrible deaths of about five people, three of whom were completely undeserved, and five others, including his own two grandkids are nearly victim as well. As a result, he's forced to abandon everything he's worked for. In the second-to-last scene, while Alan and Ellie assist Lex, Tim, and Ian into the helicopter to leave the island, it's pretty heartwrenching to see Hammond mournfully take one last look at Isla Nublar and hear a ''Brachiosaurus'' call, as Alan briefly stops to look and listen with him, before gently escorting him to the helicopter. Then, on the ride back (pictured above), all he can do is tearfully look as his mosquito preserved in amber jewel on his cane, the only surviving symbol (for the time being) of his dream.

* The third velociraptor that Tim and Lexi lock in the refridgerator probably suffered a long, painful death of starvation or hypothermia. While it was a dangerous and violent animal, and the kids were right to lock it in there in self-defence, it's still a bit sad, especially seeing as its siblings at least got to go out fighting.

* The fate of Jurassic Park as a whole can be considered one major tearjerker. This is a place that was to be the greatest theme park in the history of the world, with real living dinosaurs, animals that have been extinct for millions of years, on display for the entire world to come and see. The concept alone is magical, and because of one man's selfish greed the entire thing is brought down to ruin before it even has the chance to live. John Hammond created something incredible with just the power of his dreams, something that was unfortunately not to be.
