Heads up: There's a little mini TED talk in the intro of this one. I've been sitting with a few too many comments lately about my reactions to these films (and yes, also the later Star Wars movies which I happen to be currently watching as well) and it started to really eat away at my soul. So, I took a moment to speak from the heart about how I experience "bad" movies and even how flawed stories can have meaning, excitement, and laughter if you're open to seeing them that way. I hope you lovely koalas give it a listen and maybe see more of where I'm coming from as a person and creator! 🤍As for Jurassic Park III, I actually loved this one! It's probably a close second favorite so far in this series. The pacing, the action, and the return of favorite familiar faces again. It scratched that perfect adventure and dinosaur itch while still keeping the emotional stakes alive. It may not be everyone's favorite, but it was a fun ride for me! See you all in the next one!Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/GpoN9IrmhDEI watched this on Amazon Prime

The Dingo

I mean, if someone doesn't like a movie, they can just not watch it in my opinion. As for the comments, I've learned something important over the last few years about the internet: I ask myself "what do I hope to accomplish by making this comment?", and if the answer is anything like "I just want to complain" or "I want to get attention" or anything along those lines, I don't make the comment. I feel this is a valuable lesson I've learned which helps my own personal sanity, and the mental health it affords me is the reason I share this comment - so that hopefully someone else will have that same a-ha moment and then realize their "internet rage" is detrimental and not helpful.

Thanks for keeping it real- for me JP3 did not need to be over-bloated with contrived plotlines. It was a simple mission based on a lie and deception and oh look dinosaurs and oh look we're in trouble... again! It was a quick thrill ride and has easy re-watchability because of its length, familiar faces, great action set pieces (the river attack scene, the bird cage scene, etc.). I'm just glad you enjoyed this movie as I'm sure you were going to in the first place. I also may be biased because to me Alan Grant IS Jurassic Park so there's that lol

McShades

I don't mind people having different opinions then me, nobody is going to like the same things. That's just life and makes life interesting, but we all have to be respectful of other peoples opinions. The problem with big IP's like Star Wars is you get a lot of very passionate fans, and you also get a lot of trolls who get their kicks at pushing these fans buttons. That's the Internet for yeah... The only thing I expect from a reactor is that they be honest with their opinions... Even if it's different from my own opinions and I feel like Kali is very honest, and that's one of the reasons I enjoy her reaction videos so much...

Urfhil

Definitely with you on enjoying movies in general. I think a movie's worst sin is to be boring. As long as I'm not bored, I have a good time. I have enjoyed all your reactions, so I think you're doing great.

Richard

Regarding JPIII, I feel like the reason people were once again on that island made perfect sense. An accident (but a stupid one given no one should have been near that area). Then the deception/lying to get Grant and others involved. Again, perfectly understandable as you would do anything necessary to rescue your child. Other parts of the story bothered me, like Grant knowing Raptor speech lol. One thing I strongly disliked was how weak they made the T-Rex look compared to the Spinosaurus. Silly I know but the T-Rex is king to me. In re-watching your first Jurassic Park reaction on YouTube, it was reinforced to me again what a special reactor (person) you are: There are sickos that will sit there and laugh while humans are getting maimed or eaten by dinosaurs. Hopefully none in your community. You are the opposite, you feel for each and every human and it was written on your face. You will never be desensitized to human suffering and death, and as someone who hates violence I appreciate that so much. Don't ever change!

Robert da Spruce

Uh oh…(trying to think what I wrote in the comments 😬) Hope I didn’t annoy you Haven’t had a chance to listen to what you said yet, but I’ll definitely take a look at your intro, and reaction, later tonight Hope you had a good 4th yesterday!

The Dingo

I tend to agree - the Alan Grant character feels right as the main protagonist. I don't remember much about this movie as I've only seen it the 1 time when it came out, but it will be a fun watch later tonight I think

Richard

Yes, and never hesitate to feel empowered to like/love whatever you want! It’s one of your most appealing qualities. Opening gifts might lift your spirits too 🤣

Other Chris

Well said. Emotions sell, that’s how news media has evolved the way it has. It’s a huge part of marketing to attach an emotion to your product. it drives traffic is because people want to feel something. Social media isn’t immune to that fact. But it usually takes intent to make sure those emotions that you’re selling and spreading are positive ones. Kali is someone who it looks like it comes natural to. Keep spreading light! The path to the dark side of the internet isn’t stronger, it’s just easier and more seductive.

Glad the t rex died . Team spino forever no matter how many times new information about it nerfs it in the the modern age .

KJ

I've not watched your reactions for a while only due to personal illness, but I hope you never let comments drag you down. Your reaction is subjective and uniquely yours, and should never be dictated to by the vox populi. Keep doing what you're doing.

kaliwali

You all.... I'm overwhelmed with love from this community every day. Thank you for listening to me put my heart of my sleeve for the millionth time 😂🥰 As a reacting creator, my personal biggest hope is that you all feel the same enjoyment I do when I sit down to watch a movie for the first time! And i'm so happy to hear that you all enjoy hanging out here (even if the movie isn't your all time fav) 🩷 Thank you for the kind words in this one! I needed em hahaha

Phil Stubblefield

Yes, very well said, Dingo! I have a similar conversation with myself when replying to comments. Sometimes I disagree with someone's take *so* strongly... yet if I can't think of a substantive rebuttal, then I'll usually move on.

rubberkidney

this movie is SO much better than the disney star wars trash.

Phil Stubblefield

Kali, you've quickly become my favorite reactor primarily *because* you're empathetic, compassionate, and emotive! Don't ever feel that you have to change just to please a bunch of blow hards who don't even know you personally. You're a fantastic person and an excellent reactor! Look, I understand the attitude: "I'm an expert on this franchise, and this movie did it wrong!" I myself have never watched I, Robot (2004) because I'm a huge fan of the original Isaac Asimov stories and have read that the movie changes a multitude of details. But I'm not going to blast someone who does like the film! I would instead encourage them to read the source material; perhaps they'll fall in love with it like I have. It's the same with any big franchise, especially those with deep lore: The Lord of the Rings, Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, and so on. There will always be those who treat the source material as almost sacred and who will attack anyone who disagrees. Kali, please feel free to ignore those inconsiderate twits. Remember how many people actually *pay money* for the privilege of sharing experiences with you! Just be the wonderful person that God created you to be! PS - Sorry for the rant, but I get very passionate when defending good people against unjust attacks!

Don't let negativity get to you.

11 months ago, my 70 year old veteran dad sent me a link to your Saving Private Ryan reaction and told me I have to watch it immediately. You are one of the most insightful, empathetic reactors on YouTube, and if I may be a little snarky, refreshingly wise & knowledgable compared to other reactors around your age. If you want to turn off your brain, watch some popcorn flicks, and be entertained for a couple hours, go for it. Because yeah, you hit the nail on the head…some franchises are never meant for intellectual greatness, and don’t need to be taken seriously. You do your thing, I’ll keep watching.

The Dingo

The lady you recognized is Tea Leoni. A good movie she was in was Deep Impact. There were a few good actors in that actually including Elijiah Wood. I love that movie and think you would too. Tissues will be required though.

Phil Stubblefield

I've now watched the reaction, and it was just as much fun as always! I love how perceptive you are at noticing things on screen and predicting plot points ahead of time. And, of course, your delightful compassion for all things familial. Plus, your jump scares are hysterical! 😂

Other Chris

It may have been the nostalgia of watching this one when I was a kid but it’s possibly my favorite. The boat in the fog, the aviary, the ringing sat phone. I remembered those scary moments even though it’s probably been 20 years since I’ve seen it. It was fun to revisit it.

M1 Maz

This was a first watch for me tonight, and I really liked it! From the get go, it was just a really fun adventure / survival rollercoaster ride that never really let up. And I just love a good movie like that sometimes. Don't have to think too hard, and can just have a great time with it. Barney is a dinosaur right? I got a good laugh out of the contrast of the kid watching Barney jump around, to the (I don't even know what to call it) mega dinosaur attacking the boat haha Not related to this movie in particular, but in general to your intro, not every movie has to be good to be "good". Ya know? If that makes sense haha. If every movie was a A-tier, then no movie would be A-tier. And I really appreciate how I know that when I'm tuning into one of your reactions, it's going to be a relaxing, positive, stress-free experience where we just have fun watching and enjoying each movie for what it is! Also, RIP T-Rex.... Gave one last legendary roar before having it's neck snapped haha :(

2026-09-07 13:00 I probably won't have enough time to get around to this at the current moment or any reactions for the time being because my life is getting crazy, but I just want to take time out to say thank you and that I appreciate you. I read the bio for this, and your statement is the reason why you are one of my favorite reactors/ people. I love the way that you connect with certain characters, stories, and themes. Yoy always manage to see the nuance in everything. I apologize for all of the other commenters not being so encouraging with certain properties of media, but I am grateful that you are still enjoying them. I will soon join you on the Jurassic journey and the Star Wars journey. Thank you once again Kali!

Hey Kali - why can't you ever tell when a pterodactyl goes to the bathroom? Because the "p" is silent mwahahahahahahaha

Robert da Spruce

Sorry to hear some of the comments started making you feel a little disheartened. And if anything I said made you feel that way, my apologies. That was not my attention I’m not a reactor/youtuber, but I imagine it can be quite difficult sometimes. On one hand, you want to read the comments. And interact with everyone that took the time to follow you and comment on your reactions. But on the other hand, it can be disheartening to pour so much effort into something, only to have someone dismiss your opinion and hard work In addition to that, reading how good a movie is or isn’t before you’ve had to watch it has to affect your expectations going into a movie. Or worse yet, people posting spoilers in the comments But please don’t feel you have to change how you feel about a film to please others. Like you said. Every film doesn’t have to be a masterpiece of cinema. Some movies are just a great escape. Where you can take a break from every day life. Turn off your brain for a couple hours, recharge the batteries and just enjoy yourself. And if you like a movie, don’t let anyone tell you any different I know, easier said than done. But try to remember we are all here because we like your take on movies and want to hear what you think. We like that you tend to see the positive in a film. Rather than dwell on the negative And, I for one, am glad I discovered your channel. And I’m happy to support you here on Patreon as you take this movie journey As far as this film goes, I enjoyed it! I think it brings back the vibes that made the original film so enjoyable! I enjoyed your reaction Kali! Sorry for the super long post

kaliwali

This seriously brought a little tear to my eye :) Thank you so much for the thoughtful, kind words! It seriously means a lot to me!! Thank you!

kaliwali

I hope life slows down for you soon and you can find some time to relax! Thank you so much for the kind words and for being here!! :)

* ominous ringtone * I think I've seen it once and forgot everything but the phone ring and the "birdcage" thing.. it was a fun rediscovery, even though, I don't really know why, it's the one that made me the most angry, lol 😭, I don't know if I'm overprotective of grant or what but.. the being essentially kidnapped triggered me lol. still entertaining, but I just know I could not show as much restraint as him towards whoever is responsible for me being back in hell :x (now that might be my downfall because, once you're there I guess you have to play team if you want a chance a surviving hm..) this being said, the ending feels very abrupt? it's not a bad thing, It just almost feels like there's a whole chapter that got edited out for some reason.. I have faint memories of jurassic world, can't tell if I've seen the movie or extracts.. really not a big fan of Pratt, but I'll try to focus on D'Onofrio ^^ as for the introduction tedtalk, not much to add, sorry that your experience is tainted by some, I think it's the equivalent of backseaters in videogame content, some people can't comprehend that you don't enjoy or despise or experience things the exact same way they do, and it's sad.. I hope my criticism when there's some doesn't fall in those lines.. usually, when I dislike something about a movie and share it, it's not "it's utter shit and if you enjoy it so are you!".. I just share how "this trope is dated/offensive", how "this director or actor is sometime a terrible person despite acting well".. it's informative, because sometime people just don't know. And context is always good. Then, they can do whatever they want with that. and if it's really unsurmountable for me, I just don't watch the thing.. skipping watching a movie is an option ^^' hm.. just in case I'll try to show more diplomacy in the future. Anyway, thanks for the watch c: curious about solo, I have no clue why but I thought it was a serie and so I kinda put it in the "yes, someday, later.." because of my attention span issue and ..no?? so I'm kinda hyped 👀

I.Have.No.Band

The only ringtones I used from medias were the codec ringing from metal gear and the tune from Old boy huhu, but I've been on "mute" for years, I miss it a little bit but it's also much more peaceful c':

kaliwali

Please don't apologize! Nothing you said has ever come off as unkind. There is a difference between sharing an honest opinion and degrading my view/thoughts because you don't agree with them. I'm all for an honest review! It's when others call my reaction 'fake' or 'incorrect' or 'dishonest' because my thoughts aren't the same as theirs that triggered this introduction rant lol. And you've never made me feel that way! You're right. It is a really strange balance. I want to read the comments and reply to everyone because I'm beyond grateful for all of you and I love taking time to share opinions/thoughts on the movie or show! But when the negativity starts to creep in and there is no real constructive criticism only hate.. I can't anymore. And you're very right about the spoilers and expectations. Sometimes I want to just go in completely blind without being told "the next few movies. suck don't watch them. they are a waste of time". Because yes, that weighs on me! Movies seriously are a place to escape and recharge! That's exactly what I love about them and the entire reason I got started on YouTube. To share moments, outside of our dark reality, to find joy and quotes that can brighten our days. And your reminder to stay true to how I feel about a film is something I'm going to hold onto! Thank you for that. I'm so grateful for your support here. Not just through Patreon (though that does mean so much!), but also through these comments. Messages like this keep me going and remind me why I do what I do. So, thank you!

kaliwali

I hope you're doing okay out there KJ. I was thinking about you the other day 💛 I hope you find some comfort and relief soon! It will pass, it always does :)

Lastboyscout73

I've told you this once before, you are one of the smartest and authentic reactors I have ever watched. You try to stay positive even when sometimes movies or shows go in a strange direction. This is why Cinema Wins is one of my favorite YouTube channels, because he has nothing to say but positive things about the movies he covers but he will also point that he understands why some don't like this or that but he still keeps it very positive. Art is subjective, not everyone is going to like everything and that's ok. If everything was the same it would make life pretty boring. I don't think it's ok that someone would discredit your opinion of how you feel about a movie. Those are your feelings and they can have their own but they shouldn't inflict negativity towards you just because they don't agree. I hope that the stuff I shared always came across as how I overall felt without saying you should feel the same way. The only thing I remember saying lately was that Episode 8 was the movie that divided the Star Wars fandom and maybe I should of waited to say that after you watched it but it really did blow up the internet with extreme opinions and unfortunately some extreme toxicity towards a couple of the actors that played rolls in that movie. Which to me is baffling, they are just doing a job and have no control of the dialog or the direction the movie goes. I feel that most actors do the best they can with the material they are given but they should not be blamed for the writing or the direction that either the director or the studio chose to take it. With that being said, I hope that people can respect that you have an opinion of your own and realize that if they don't agree that's ok. If you don't have something nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all. I do my best to practice that every day. Also treat people the way that you would want to be treated. It may be a cliche but it's the truth. BTWs: I have had a massive star crush on Tea Leoni for years and honestly, I still do. She played Amanda Kirby (if you don't know who I'm talking about) lol.

Calu

Hi Kali, lovely reaction, as always. Joined your patreon somewhat recently, mainly because I loved your LOTR videos on YT and honestly, I just HAD TO watch your full journey through those movies. I have since gotten a chance to watch some of your other content and you never disappoint. Because of that, I feel like I need to say: DO NOT EVER apologize for liking things!!! DO NOT stress about "pretend" movie critics who feel the need to rehash long-dead reddit or twitter debates, or like to spout tired opinions they once picked up from some random YouTube video, in some cases forgetting how they originally felt when they first watched the thing. I am willing to bet that the majority of the people in here, are here because no matter the movie or show you pick, they like watching the pure joy, sense of fun, true empathy, little insights, fresh perspective, and honest emotions you bring to your videos. We are not here for high-brow movie criticism, or for nitpicking inconsistencies or bad plot devices. There are a lot of other more appropriate discussion channels for that. In any case, all that was to say, YOU do YOU, and keep up the good work! 😉

.

You are very right about the fact its a dinosaur movie its not meant to be taken that seriously as something like the godfather would so there's no point in hating on it and its better to just try and enjoy it. I usually try to do the same (unless the writing genuinely annoys me lol) so I understand where you're coming from by being positive about these popcorn movies because they're meant to entertain you not change cinema. I just think its better to have a positive outlook on these sorts of movies and you continue doing that so as a viewer I really appreciate that. Anyways about the movie, the raptor saying "Alan" always gets a laugh out of me lol its so stupid but works to make me laugh every time I watch it and im sure its the same with most people and the Spinosaurus just staring at the people when the phone was ringing was absolutely terrifying overall I liked this movie it was pretty good. See you in Jurassic World!!

Onno Smits

I'm very late to the party on this one. I didn't have the time over the summer to watch these but now I finally did. I was sorry to hear in your "TED-talk" that the comments got you down. Finding the joy in watching any movie should be the goal, otherwise you're just wasting time looking at a screen! I think it's hard to write a comment about how someone reacts to a movie, as it mostly just comes across as creepy... 😬 So I think people prefer to just comment on the movie itself. I'm certainly guilty of that. And this is the internet, where the loudest majority is usually negative. 😞 Watching this movie along with your reaction made it an absolute blast! You rolling your eyes or giggling makes the funny bits funnier. Your too loud screams make the jump-scares scarier, and your insightful commentary makes me genuinely find new depths even in the most shallow of "rollercoaster-ride"-type movies like this. Really, as far as reaction content is concerned, that's the gold standard. 🥇

kaliwali

I appreciate this comment so much!! It was a bit wild in the comments (mainly on YouTube of course haha) during my time in these movies. Lots of negativity and "why are you watching these?" which makes it hard to validate why I'm enjoying them 🤣 But I'm totally with you on finding joy even in 'bad' movies because otherwise, what's the point? Thanks so much for hanging out in this one! I had an absolute blaaast watching these other the summertime and I came out of these films with a lot of love and respect for the Jurassic franchise which surprised me! Glad you loved watching this with me 😻

Chris Waltman

I really liked this movie. It was another fun Jurassic Park adventure. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that Ellie got married and started a family with someone else. That was my sole disappointment.
