Many pages! Lots of action!
The Rex breaks things, Nedry gets his (less graphically and more quickly), Grant and the kids run a lot, Muldoon, Ellie, and Gennaro pick up the pieces, while Malcolm tells everyone about the boat and we’re about to learn why everything went to hell.
It’s interesting that everyone’s learned about the boat already. In the book, there’s a race against time for Grant and the kids to get back to the control room to tell everyone before the boat lands. I feel like the script is going to take it in the direction that everyone is too stubborn to believe that it’s happening. I guess the trick here is that the boat has the DNA and nobody knows about it yet. I’m interesting to see what happens with the first batch that Nedry got off the island already, that’s a really interesting plot point.
The Rex chasing Grant and the kids is a new thing, and it’s interesting but I feel like it’s a bit unrealistic, and I feel like the jeep chase from the film is much more exciting. I also enjoyed the book’s cruel description of Nedry’s demise much better, as he really deserved it for being scummy. At least the dilophasaurus is the right size and doesn’t have the goofy frill.
