Very numerous people and fans hated it including me, but that's how it was in the beginning of the 2nd novel.

reply

The first novel never indicated any attraction, so that's irrelevant.

reply

Ok. Despite the number of changes that the movies have from the 1st 2 novels, Joe Johnston should not have kept that part of the 2nd novel where Ellie marries Degler, you have a good point.

There is no sanity clause!

I liked it personally.

Oftentimes relationships just don't work out... if anything it makes the characters feel more real.

I think it could have had something to do with her wanting children, the married life, etc. He would have never slowed down with the digging and children would have been an issue for him, I think. I'm glad they remained friends, at least.


The mat said "Welcome".

reply

he didn't want children and that seemed like a deal breaker. he was also an ass in the first movie so i don't know why they were together in the first place.

reply

A professor and a graduate student. Doesn't always work out.

And despite the movies throwing two people together in danger, just as likely it changes people. In the book they were "indefinitely detained" by the Costa Rican government, to kep the island's secret. Though they said they would "probably" let the kids go home. of course Hammond and Malcolm were dead at the end of the first book.

reply

I think she wanted kids and just settle for her generic husband. Did anyone see the look of longing on her face when Alan was pulling out of her driveway. It was a look of what could have been. Alan was unattainable and had no interest in being domesticated. He would have been miserable.

reply

The whole they didn't end up together because Grant not wanting kids always bugged me. By the end of the first movie, Grant had warmed up to kids, also shown in the way he played with Ellie's son. Granted, that doesn't mean he suddenly would want to be a father (many people like kids but still don't want to be parents), but I don't know... just seemed like a betrayal of his character development from the first film.

Other persons kids = fine.
Your own kid = no.
I'm very much the same as Alan. Kids would have ruined my life.

reply

As stated, Ellie wanted to settle down, raise kids, live suburban life. Alan wanted to dig. That's the difference. Some people don't want children and that's that.
Sometimes relationships doesn't work out and the love of your life slips away.

I like it that way. I never saw them as a couple in the first one so it works for me.

reply

Yeah I noticed that too. It was as if she wanted him back

reply

Gee, it's almost as if relationships don't always work out or something? 

reply

At least Alan didn't dislike kids, as demonstrated when he bonded with Eric.

reply

It was the attitude Grant had towards children. It was almost a know it all pre-teen version of me where I thought "I was a know it all" and would do my part to reduce the world population and not have kids. But the mature approach would consider the emotional and social well-being rewards of having children.

reply

If you don't want kids, the smart thing is to not have kids.

reply

I never got the impression that Ellie and Grant were a couple to begin with, so it's OK for me.

I mean they never kissed or hugged,not even after "reuniting" in the end.
If they were in love or a couple, wouldn't they at least once show some affection?


reply

actually they did hug in jurassic park they hug after reuniting in the park she even wraps her legs around him.

reply

she even wraps her legs around him.


And as hot as that looked with her short shorts, that doesn't necessarily indicated they were a thing. All that proves is that you were right, they DID hug at some point in the movie. They hugged because they found each other after being chased by dinosaurs, and were glad to see each other alive and ok.

reply

right. that's all i'm saying they did actually hug i'm not saying they were a thing. i never got that from the first movie. i saw them as close friends and i think grant saying he was "with" her to malcolm was a lie to protect her because grant obviously is not fond of malcolm.

reply

I was hoping they'd be a thing, though. Some people argue that traumatic events can push people away, but they can also bring people closer together.

At the beginning of the first movie, Alan Grant didn't want kids, and throughout the movie he seemed initially annoyed at Dr Hammond's grandkids. But towards the end, he had warmed up to them, and to me, Ellie was looking at him like "See? You're good with kids" and he looked at her like "Yeah, they're not so bad after all."
Even in this movie he wasn't as distant with the boy as he was with the two kids in the first movie.

reply

it's possbile grant got rid of some of his prejudices towards children after the experience but still decided he didn't want kids of his own and that's why ellie found someone who did.
