So glad you decided to start seeing Jurassic Park, @Mary Cherry! It's a pretty epic, awesome, and intense movie for every fan of dinosaurs. The "nice music" is composed by the great John Williams, who also composed the music for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., etc. And the special and practical effects were so amazing, even I thought all the dinosaurs were really real. I hope you enjoy seeing the rest of the Jurassic Park movies, and get ready for next year when Jurassic World: Dominion comes into theaters
It does, but the preceding moments are almost laughable by comparison. I can't count the number of times I've made a joke about ninja T Rex's being able to sneak into buildings without being heard.
Notice how during the t-Rex sequence in the rain, there’s a solid 15 minutes or so with absolutely no music. Originally Spielberg had John Williams write sort of classic menacing horror type music, but decided to not add it because omitting it added a lot more suspense. You’re left without the typical guidance you get with a musical score. This is where the sound design really shines on its own
The computer generated dinosaurs were used mainly in the long shots. Most of the close up shots were rubber animatronics by Stan Winston. There are way fewer computer generated graphics than most people realize.
Yes I remember back then seeing some newspaper article talking about how skillfully they blended the CGI with the practical and that was JP true claim to fame. Aside from the legendary story/acting/music of course. Lightning in a bottle is what it was.
@@maybeitsyou1317 they use a lot of frame-within-a-frame techniques to implement the CGI in this flick: animatronic dinosaur in the closeup, camera moves to a frame within the frame and enter the CGI creation.. enhances the illusion greatly.
Yes, that's true, and there are also much more CGI shots than most people who say "Muh practical eefects!" realize. It was a perfect blend because they used the technology where it was appropriate, not to take shortcuts.
29:14 I love the shot of the pelicans, symbolically telling us not try to bring back the extinct dinosaurs, but rather appreciate their descendants living amongst us today
this and terminator 2 are the two most important films of the CGI age and up there with Star Wars and the first sound film as the most technically important movies ever made.
Yep. JP and T2 were literally advertised to the public as movies that were going to be introduce this new cinematic technology called CGI that would allowthings to be shown in movies that could never be shown before.
This was a monumental movie as any moving dinosaur before this film was either cartoon or claymation. So this film holds a special place in my heart for a kid who grew up loving dinosaurs!
The first JP movie is one of favorite films of all time, I mean. As a kid (Also the same age as you), dinosaurs were my life, and couldn't get enough of them, so when the third movie was coming out (the first movie was months old by the time I was born), I had to get the entire trilogy on VHS. The fact that this movie had held up so well, it's a absolute classic. The sequels are... Fine, Jurassic World is, also fine-ish, Fallen Kingdom... Ehhh, but hey, it has Dinosaurs, so it's watchable. (Richard is also famous for directing Ghandi, and being Santa in the Miracle on 34th Street remake.)
While none of the sequels really lived up to the first, The Lost World has the best CGI of the entire series. It’s mind boggling how real they look in that movie.
"Why would he put children at risk?" You said it yourself a few minutes earlier. They're the target demographic for the park. Remember, this was supposed to be a test of the park and its attractions in order to root out any bugs or flaws before it was officially opened to the public. Of course Hammond would want the opinion of some children, and who'd give him better/more honest commentary than his own grandchildren? In addition to that, while it's not outright stated in the movie, Lex and Tim's trip isn't just about them visiting the park. They were also supposed to stay with their grandpa for a few days anyway while their parents finalized their divorce. Hammond simply wanted to give them an experience of a lifetime in order to distract them from what was going on with their parents. Also, Ellie is not Alan's wife. They're romantic partners, but they haven't tied the knot yet, one reason being Grant's aversion to children, as implied earlier in the movie at the paleontological dig site.
Hammond is much more ruthless and greedy in the book. All of Genero's negative traits are really Hammond's. He doesnt actually give two shits about those kids.
@@dwnkaomwn3953 Oh, I don’t know. By then he was a big star, demanding a big salary, and he was already known to be another famous character with a hat. 🙄
@@unlimited971 Personally, I’m going to have to disagree that a live-action PG-13 film that depicts humans being eaten alive by animals in graphic detail is a “little kids movie.”
The guy that plays the creator of Jurassic Park is Richard Attenborough He’s been in a lot of movies. His brother is David Attenborough The famous voice behind a lot of nature documentaries on National Geographic
The composer of this soundtrack is John Williams. He makes also Star Wars, Indiana Jones, ET, Jaws, Superman (the old one) Harry Potter 1-3, almost all Steven Spielberg movies...
@@TwilightLink77 Yes a beautiful score, some time a little sad. So many good soundtracks from John Williams. But I think Indinan Jones 5 is his last score ;-(
This movie came out when I was 8, I will never forget the sound the T-rex made when it roared for the 1st 1 or 2 times, it was absolutely terrifying but yet highly intriguing.
Fun fact: the scene with the Tyrannosaurus smashing the top of the vehicle wasn't supposed to happen, the animatronic malfunctioned and broke through the roof, so the kids reactions were real when it happened
To add to this fact, they didn't take into account that the skin of the T-Rex would absorb the water from the rain adding a lot of weight to the robot T-Rex head. The extra weight was too much for the servos and hydraulics to handle. Which is why it broke through the car top. The addition of "real" puppets/robots and the cgi was so good, which is one of the many reasons (music score, direction, story, etc) that this film as held up over the last 28 years.
Hello, just wanted to say that the t-Rex was supposed to break through the top of the glass. I mean there’s quick cuts and the cameras angles clearly suggest that it was planned. However, a part of the glass actually breaks off after it was pushed through the jeep by the t-Rex, which is the detail that was not supposed to happen.
Also to add to that during that scene one of the Trex's teeth broke off by accident so they kept that tooth missing, even in Jurassic World it's hard to see but she is still missing the tooth.
The T. rex was absolutely supposed to pop the plexiglass and push down into the vehicle. the part that wasn’t supposed to happen was the piece on the corner chipping off. Other than that, (and breaking a tooth) the scene was as intended.
@@donsample1002 You're discounting wartime applications - kangaroos are the deadliest. Back in the Australian American War - the biggest war since the big one - those Aussies would send kangaroos strapped with explosives; they'd come hopping into camp, and take out ten guys.
@@donsample1002 idk about that poisonous spiders and snakes and those salt water crocs are probably more dangerous. I am sure dogs maul more people every year but that's only because they come in contact with humans a lot more often. Dogs and people share the same environment. If you had to pick between fighting for your life against a dog or fighting a twenty foot salt water crocodile in a brackish swamp you wouldn't pick the latter.
As a 1990 kid myself, this movie was a formative memory of my early childhood and honestly to this day, that soundtrack makes me feel so many things... probably got into science and dinosaurs as a kid because of this movie 👍🏽
Same. Saw this movie when I was 5 years old when it was in theaters. First PG-13 movie I ever saw and the vendor asked my dad (who was taking me for my birthday) if he truly wanted me to see it. Wanted to be a Paleontologist shortly after having nightmares for a few months afterwards.
"Based on a book, I didn't know that" The book is by Michael Crichton, the creator of the original "Westworld" (Which is also about a science fiction amusement park that loses control of their attractions because they're living things which fight for their autonomy and will kill the creators of the park to get it...)
But the book Jurassic Park, is WAY more gory than the movie, for example, Nedry’s death was so gory, Dr Wu was supposed to die in the first book, John Hammond broke his ankle, and was eaten alive by Compies
Crichton was the first and I am positive the only person to have the #1 movie (This), #1 American Show (ER) and the #1 selling book (Disclosure) at the same time.
The iconic moment and true terror I felt as a kid was when the velociraptor broke threw the window and Grant's shots over the phone. John's scream to that oh my, heart wrenching, still gets me
Probably the greatest blockbuster ever made. And Spielberg (And indeed John Williams) did this and Schindler's List in the SAME YEAR. Two utter masters of their craft at the absolute top of their game.
Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello's performances in this movie never ceases to amaze me. Child acting is normally so hit and miss, but man, they totally nailed their parts. Ariana in particular, her every look and action feel so real! She's an artist these days, and very good at it. Joseph still acts!
When I watched this in the cinema there was a middle-aged woman sat in front of me who wasn't bothered by anything at all. But when the Raptor was looking through the window in the kitchen door and it snorted to steam up the glass she almost jumped out of her seat! This was probably the first film I saw in a cinema which left me in awe at what I was seeing when Dr. Grant first saw the dinosaurs. With so much technology and CGI available these days I don't think children will ever have that "Wow" moment because it's in so many video games, movies and even TV shows that the "Wow factor" isn't there any more because it's become the norm.
I love this movie so much since I’ve always loved dinosaurs. I will say I still prefer Jurassic Park instead of Jurassic World. I think the dinosaurs look better in this.
The waterfall in the beginning where the copter lands is in HI. You can take a ride there and they play the score as you’re winding through the canyons and you land…sick.
He's also a character in The Social Network too. He was in another film but younger than this in a couple of scenes alongside Harrison Ford called Presumed Innocent. Definitely worth a watch that was.
The fact that everything (CGI, sound design, etc) still holds it's own against today's movie standards speaks to the genius of Spielberg as a director. Still one of my all time favs.
That's because for the special effects they did not entirely use CG, they used mainly puppetry and animatronics (designed and built by a team lead by the late great Stan Winston) mainly for the close-ups but CG for where there would be multiple Dino's and background use.
It reminds me of when the man, probably Benny Hill, says to the young woman… “Where have you been all my life?” .. and she replies .. “For half of it, I wasn’t even born.” 🫣😒😔 yeah, feeling old.
Fun fact: The moment where the roof panel falls in on the kids wasn’t meant to happen. The animatronic T. rex was meant to bite around it i believe, but it accidentally knocked the glass/plastic through the roof and onto the kids. Those screams are real lmao Just in case anyone pulls up some contradictory information, i got that from a magazine as a kid. So... It’s probably true but i’m not 100% on it.
@@matthewpengelly761 which also lead to it shorting out and moving on its own between scenes. As a result from that point on, when using the Rex animatronics only essential crew were permitted on set to minimize safety risks
"Maybe it's about dinosaurs?" This. This is why I watch these. I absolutely cannot get enough of someone who has literally no idea what they're about to watch. No trailer knowledge, not spoiled, no context, just pure cinematic absorption. So satisfying!
i’m a 2000s baby but i was OBSESSED with this movie as a kid and still am and so many people i know have never seen this movie and it breaks my heart bc it is such a good movie
When this was first released in theaters a lot of parents brought their small children to see the great dinosaur movie. The loud shrieks and screams were almost deafening at some points
My sister was 6 and had to be taken out to the lobby at the part with the spitting dinosaur killing Nedry. The frill around its neck and the noise it made traumatized her lol. She's 34 now and still winces at that scene..
You're absolutely right: Richard Attenborough played Santa Claus in the 1994 version of "A Miracle on 34th Street." He was also a director, most notably on 1982's "Gandhi," for which he won the Academy Award for Best Director (and another as producer for Best Picture).
This is indeed based on a novel, and there are so many differences when compared to the movie. In the novel, as the helicopter is flying off into the sunset at the end, everyone looks out of the windows back towards the island only to see that the Costa Rican Air Force had arrived and were dropping bombs all over the island, blowing up everything, including the dinosaurs.
The biggest difference, though (in my opinion) is how early they learn that the dinosaurs are reproducing (quickly enough for there to be fifty raptors *on the island*).
"This movie is two hours and six minutes long" Really? Really? It's never seemed that long. I mean I remember I was kind of exhausted coming out of the theater because it was pretty intense for me back then but, two hours? To paraphrase Bruce Wayne, "damn good pacing."
I saw this in the theater opening weekend. For back then it was simply incredible. The scene with the T-Rex attacking the SUV was so wild on the big screen and those sounds it made just shook the whole place. The ambient sound was so great... you could hear it and other things out in the jungle. But I'll never forget the part where they're trying to get away from the Raptors and Lex falls through the ceiling. When the Raptor jumps up to grab her leg looked so damn real. I jumped abed pulled my legs up into my seat. Everyone around me got such a laugh at my expense.
I was a dinosaur obsessed 9 year old when this came out and my aunt snuck me in through the fire exit to watch it at the cinema. I was terrified most of the time but enjoyed it immensely, no nightmares that night thankfully. First movie to really capture the magic of cinema for me
i come back to this movie at least once a year, just to watch in awe at how good the special effects were for its time. it still holds up better than some movies made recently. so much fun.
The whole soundtrack is just wonderful. I fell in love with it when we played an arrangement of it in concert band back when I was in high school, and it provided atmosphere when I was working on the first few drafts of my debut novel. I just about wore the cassette out playing it so often all throughout high school and on into college.
Actually the real “ canon “ password was “ Studry” but u would only know that if u played telltalesgames official Jurassic park the game on last gen consoles
As a teenager I saw this movie on opening day, and I'll tell you the cgi dinosaurs were a revalotion! Outside of Termanator 2 and the Abyss, no one had seen computer special effects look this good and never for a walking breathing animal before. When you first saw the Brachiosaurus walk into frame the whole audience gasped and wowed! It was a once in a lifetime event. 🦖🦕
Thats the thing though, most people think they were seeing cgi effects when in fact there was very little cgi, most of the dinosaurs were animatronic creatures, they were actually there some tall as buildings which is what made them so impressive. When Grant gets out of the jeep and looks way up at the brontosaurus he's looking at a very real looking creation. None of the actors were prepared for how real they would appear
@@r.g.o3879 Actually, the brachiosaurus at the beginning of the movie is one of the those shots that is full CGI with no animatronics. Same with Gallimimus chase (and T-Rex in that scene), T-Rex final shot, full-body shots of raptors in the kitchen and so on... T-Rex legs in any shot are also CGI (animatronic T-rex model didn't have legs)... I think T-Rex jeep chase also has several CGI shots. I think watching it these days, it's quite easy to spot which shots are mainly animatronic and which ones CGI.
@@r.g.o3879 I don't know exactly what Sam Neill was looking at when he got out of the jeep and looked up during shooting, but that is a CGI dinosaur on screen.
*Neanderthals had their shot, and evolution selected them for extinction. Mammals survived the death of the dinos, sadly the Neanderthals didn't survive us.
It's really hard to decide what is more entertaining, watching the movie or seeing someone watching and reacting to this movie in such a lovely and adorable way. Back in the nineties, a lot of people couldn't finish the movie in the cinema, because of the scenes with the T-Rex.
@@robertzander9723 I can only imagine the emotional intensity of seeing the world's first photorealistic giant animal coming out of the fence at night in the rain in a wide shot.
My favorite movie of all time! Always love watching people seeing it for the first time. The book is also good, and different enough from the film that you can experience them both without getting bored.
It's amazing how this film still holds up perfectly today, and in many shots the dinos actually look BETTER than the ones in Jurassic World. Cute outfit too, btw.
@@ieykemaybe I misunderstood. David played Santa in the original and Richard I the 1994 remake. I thought you were just pointing out David played Santa.
Fun fact: Ariana Richards played in the cult classic Tremors that came out 3 years before Jurassic park. Love your reactions Mary. Keep doing what you're doing gorgeous
This is and will always be one of my all-time favorite movies. I absolutely loved dinosaurs as a child and a paleontologist is one of the first things I ever wanted to be.
This is one of my top 3 movies along with the matrix and the mummy! On camping trips we had a 13" colour TV with VCR built in that ran off 12v or 120v. I would rewind these movie and watch it over again.
There's something kinda magical about seeing someone's reaction to Classic Films Like Jurassic park, Back to the future, Aliens, etc. Movies you'd think everyone has seen already just to see that genuine reaction/enjoyment for the first time.
I was lucky enough to watch Jurassic Park on its opening weekend in the theaters back in 1993. It was one of the defining experiences of my childhood; imagine seeing those mindblowing special effects and hearing that incredible audio on the big screen. It completely outclassed any other movie that was out at the time. I'm so glad that you finally watched it!
He's not Irish, he's Scottish, though in reality he's English, his name was Richard Attenborough, the brother of David Attenborough. He was acting from the 1940's.
Most paleontologists think Tyrannosaurus specialized in hunting and feeding on large hadrosaurs and estimate it could swallow 100 lbs of meat in one bite. Both a goat and an adult male human would each be little more than an appetizer for a hungry T. rex.
John Williams is probably the greatest film composer of all time, so many iconic tunes and recognisable themes. Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, ET, Jaws, Superman, Harry Potter......the list goes on. Basically my childhood.
I remember going to the theaters in 1993 to see this movie! I was 10 years. Out of 1000s of movies this is my favorite movie out of all of them! Look at behinds the scene and videos that analyze this movie! It’s a master piece

The triceratops and the dilophosaur were also animatronic. The raptors were a mix of cgi and animatronics.
The scene with the banner falling in front of the T Rex is such an iconic shot. Pretty much symbolizes the entire Jurassic Park saga.
And they do a callback to it in Jurassic World.
Went to theaters to see this and that roar was loud as hell.

You're discounting wartime applications - kangaroos are the deadliest. Back in the Australian American War - the biggest war since the big one - those Aussies would send kangaroos strapped with explosives; they'd come hopping into camp, and take out ten guys.
@@donsample1002 idk about that poisonous spiders and snakes and those salt water crocs are probably more dangerous. I am sure dogs maul more people every year but that's only because they come in contact with humans a lot more often. Dogs and people share the same environment. If you had to pick between fighting for your life against a dog or fighting a twenty foot salt water crocodile in a brackish swamp you wouldn't pick the latter.
Australia doesn’t really have animals that maul you to death. There are saltwater crocodiles in a few parts, but that’s about it.
This T-Rex stands up there with the Balrog as one of the ALL-TIME most terrifying and intimidating film characters/creatures
T. rex, Balrog, Godzilla, Xenomorph Queen, HELL YEAH! Oh and they all have the best ROARS too!
@@yuyaricachimuel555 exactly
The Balrog is nowhere close to this T-Rex for iconic film monsters....
@@jsmithers. still has an iconic scene and appearance in one of the most iconic fantasy films of all time.
For Monster and fantasy fans it’s iconic AF
Definitely don't forget Bruce, the Great White Shark from JAWS.... 😁
As a 1990 kid myself, this movie was a formative memory of my early childhood and honestly to this day, that soundtrack makes me feel so many things... probably got into science and dinosaurs as a kid because of this movie 👍🏽
Same. Saw this movie when I was 5 years old when it was in theaters. First PG-13 movie I ever saw and the vendor asked my dad (who was taking me for my birthday) if he truly wanted me to see it. Wanted to be a Paleontologist shortly after having nightmares for a few months afterwards.
Same year as me and the same feeling
And Joe Mazello (Tim) played the Queen drummer John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody

Nedry was unhappy with his salary, so he accepted a payment from a rivaling company to commit corporate espionage
"Based on a book, I didn't know that"
The book is by Michael Crichton, the creator of the original "Westworld" (Which is also about a science fiction amusement park that loses control of their attractions because they're living things which fight for their autonomy and will kill the creators of the park to get it...)
But the book Jurassic Park, is WAY more gory than the movie, for example, Nedry’s death was so gory, Dr Wu was supposed to die in the first book, John Hammond broke his ankle, and was eaten alive by Compies
@@ARC5555Fives all the characters who live and die get quite flipped
Crichton was the first and I am positive the only person to have the #1 movie (This), #1 American Show (ER) and the #1 selling book (Disclosure) at the same time.
Well they told him to write a movie and he wrote what he was good at
The kids' genders were reversed.
The iconic moment and true terror I felt as a kid was when the velociraptor broke threw the window and Grant's shots over the phone. John's scream to that oh my, heart wrenching, still gets me
Ariana Richards is in another monster movie called _Tremors,_ with Kevin Bacon. It's a really fun film that you should watch.
Everybody should watch Tremors, simple because it's a nearly flawless movie. Everything in it, is there to help tell the story and it's wonderful.
@@Bananahammock681 The only flaw I have with Tremors is that it spawned 6 awful sequels and a shitty TV series. It should have been a standalone film.
she also came back for the third Tremors movie
I was just about to mention that!
@@ThePsychosocialite _Tremors 4: The Legend Begins_ is a great movie
That final T-Rex rawr gives me chills every time. So badass.
Probably the greatest blockbuster ever made. And Spielberg (And indeed John Williams) did this and Schindler's List in the SAME YEAR. Two utter masters of their craft at the absolute top of their game.
Yup exactly
Highest grossing blockbuster summer 1993
Tim is such an under appreciated character. Everything he says is comedic gold.
i'm in shock. how have you never even heard of this movie or it's music. you're in for a journey
Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello's performances in this movie never ceases to amaze me. Child acting is normally so hit and miss, but man, they totally nailed their parts. Ariana in particular, her every look and action feel so real! She's an artist these days, and very good at it. Joseph still acts!
When I watched this in the cinema there was a middle-aged woman sat in front of me who wasn't bothered by anything at all. But when the Raptor was looking through the window in the kitchen door and it snorted to steam up the glass she almost jumped out of her seat!
This was probably the first film I saw in a cinema which left me in awe at what I was seeing when Dr. Grant first saw the dinosaurs. With so much technology and CGI available these days I don't think children will ever have that "Wow" moment because it's in so many video games, movies and even TV shows that the "Wow factor" isn't there any more because it's become the norm.
I love this movie so much since I’ve always loved dinosaurs. I will say I still prefer Jurassic Park instead of Jurassic World. I think the dinosaurs look better in this.
My mom took me to see this at a drive in movie theater when this came out when I was a 10. Still the best movie experience I have ever had.
The waterfall in the beginning where the copter lands is in HI. You can take a ride there and they play the score as you’re winding through the canyons and you land…sick.
The little boy grew up and played John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody.
He was also a main character in The Pacific.

The fact that everything (CGI, sound design, etc) still holds it's own against today's movie standards speaks to the genius of Spielberg as a director. Still one of my all time favs.
That's because for the special effects they did not entirely use CG, they used mainly puppetry and animatronics (designed and built by a team lead by the late great Stan Winston) mainly for the close-ups but CG for where there would be multiple Dino's and background use.
It doesn’t hold its own. It’s far superior
Yeah, def all Spielberg and not the sfx team or stan Winston
ME: Cool, a movie that I saw at the cinema when it was released!
Mary: "1993, the year I was born."

“In forty eight hours, you’ll owe me an apology!”
“In forty eight hours I’ll be dinosaur poop!”
"I'm sorry I ever took you as a client! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Please get quotes right. It makes the joke funnier. "In 48 hours from now, I'LL be accepting YOUR apologies."
Fun fact: The moment where the roof panel falls in on the kids wasn’t meant to happen. The animatronic T. rex was meant to bite around it i believe, but it accidentally knocked the glass/plastic through the roof and onto the kids. Those screams are real lmao
Just in case anyone pulls up some contradictory information, i got that from a magazine as a kid. So... It’s probably true but i’m not 100% on it.
No, it's the glass breaking that was an accident. The "glass" was definitely meant to fall on the kids.
What I love is that this scene is when the animatronic T Rex accidentally busted out a tooth. It's subtle but they kept it canon through to this day
They forgot to account for the fact that Rexy was heavier in the rain!! The latex absorbed quite a bit of water during the shooting of that scene.
@@matthewpengelly761 which also lead to it shorting out and moving on its own between scenes. As a result from that point on, when using the Rex animatronics only essential crew were permitted on set to minimize safety risks
@@TacticusPrime that's literally what was said
"Maybe it's about dinosaurs?" This. This is why I watch these. I absolutely cannot get enough of someone who has literally no idea what they're about to watch. No trailer knowledge, not spoiled, no context, just pure cinematic absorption. So satisfying!
Hammond is Scottish not Irish…. Well, the actor is Richard Attenborough, David Attenborough’s late brother. And he’s actually English.
And we shouldn't forget that he really played Santa Claus in the "Miracle on 34th Street".
No no, you're right; the character's also Scottish.
i’m a 2000s baby but i was OBSESSED with this movie as a kid and still am and so many people i know have never seen this movie and it breaks my heart bc it is such a good movie

Fun fact: Joseph Mazzello plays Queen's bassist, Roger Deacon, in Bohemian Rhapsody. He also appeared in HBO's "The Pacific."
Actual fact: He played John Deacon. Roger Taylor was the drummer. Nice try though.
When this was first released in theaters a lot of parents brought their small children to see the great dinosaur movie.
The loud shrieks and screams were almost deafening at some points
Yup 👍
I was 10 when I saw this. I had nightmares about Raptors for weeeeeks. I started picturing the final showdown & the Rex became my hero :D
My sister was 6 and had to be taken out to the lobby at the part with the spitting dinosaur killing Nedry. The frill around its neck and the noise it made traumatized her lol. She's 34 now and still winces at that scene..
@@coeusdarksoul2855 Hah I was 10 at the time too and had raptor nightmares for weeks also. :D
@@davidsavage5630 lmaooo when me and my dad watched the dominion trailer he genuinely gasped when he saw the dilophosaurus
You're absolutely right: Richard Attenborough played Santa Claus in the 1994 version of "A Miracle on 34th Street." He was also a director, most notably on 1982's "Gandhi," for which he won the Academy Award for Best Director (and another as producer for Best Picture).
John Williams also make the music for Harry Potter, Jaws, ET, Indiana Jones and many more :)
And Starwars
@@dwightherron2838 can’t forget that

This is indeed based on a novel, and there are so many differences when compared to the movie.
In the novel, as the helicopter is flying off into the sunset at the end, everyone looks out of the windows back towards the island only to see that the Costa Rican Air Force had arrived and were dropping bombs all over the island, blowing up everything, including the dinosaurs.
The biggest difference, though (in my opinion) is how early they learn that the dinosaurs are reproducing (quickly enough for there to be fifty raptors *on the island*).
Plus grant wants to see the raptor nest
Plus there was the subplot about them needing to contact the boat to warn them about the dinosaurs on the boat
And Malcolm’s corpse. (The reason why he was in the sequel novel is because of Jeff Goldblum’s popularity from his role in this movie)
@@chauser400 Malcolm died in the book?
He actually did play Santa around the same time this came out, Miracle on 34th Street, I worked on it here in Chicago, you should check it out.
Miracle on 34th Street is the kid movie we need these day. Very beautiful, no nonsense, great actings, and very touching.
"This movie is two hours and six minutes long" Really? Really? It's never seemed that long. I mean I remember I was kind of exhausted coming out of the theater because it was pretty intense for me back then but, two hours? To paraphrase Bruce Wayne, "damn good pacing."
No one ever appreciates, how deadpan the line "the phones are working" is delivered 😅
I saw this in the theater opening weekend. For back then it was simply incredible. The scene with the T-Rex attacking the SUV was so wild on the big screen and those sounds it made just shook the whole place. The ambient sound was so great... you could hear it and other things out in the jungle. But I'll never forget the part where they're trying to get away from the Raptors and Lex falls through the ceiling. When the Raptor jumps up to grab her leg looked so damn real. I jumped abed pulled my legs up into my seat. Everyone around me got such a laugh at my expense.
My childhood film is being reacted to. I must be dreaming.
The man portraying John Hammond, his name was Richard Attenborough(1923-2014).
Aka, Sir David Attenborough's brother.
@@bear576 Never heard of him. So, his brother was a knight?
@@dwnkaomwn3953 Yeah, I think he did some stuff with animals or whatever.
DWN KAOMWN Richard Attenborough was also a Lord.
Spared no expense
Richard Attenborough, who played John Hammond, has been in many movies. From The Great Escape to the Miracle on 34th Street (remake).
I was a dinosaur obsessed 9 year old when this came out and my aunt snuck me in through the fire exit to watch it at the cinema. I was terrified most of the time but enjoyed it immensely, no nightmares that night thankfully. First movie to really capture the magic of cinema for me
i come back to this movie at least once a year, just to watch in awe at how good the special effects were for its time. it still holds up better than some movies made recently. so much fun.
That first kid who called a raptor a 6 foot turkey..
That little raptor talk was the lesson in humility that he needed.
The whole soundtrack is just wonderful. I fell in love with it when we played an arrangement of it in concert band back when I was in high school, and it provided atmosphere when I was working on the first few drafts of my debut novel. I just about wore the cassette out playing it so often all throughout high school and on into college.

As a teenager I saw this movie on opening day, and I'll tell you the cgi dinosaurs were a revalotion! Outside of Termanator 2 and the Abyss, no one had seen computer special effects look this good and never for a walking breathing animal before. When you first saw the Brachiosaurus walk into frame the whole audience gasped and wowed! It was a once in a lifetime event. 🦖🦕
Thats the thing though, most people think they were seeing cgi effects when in fact there was very little cgi, most of the dinosaurs were animatronic creatures, they were actually there some tall as buildings which is what made them so impressive. When Grant gets out of the jeep and looks way up at the brontosaurus he's looking at a very real looking creation. None of the actors were prepared for how real they would appear
@@r.g.o3879 Actually, the brachiosaurus at the beginning of the movie is one of the those shots that is full CGI with no animatronics. Same with Gallimimus chase (and T-Rex in that scene), T-Rex final shot, full-body shots of raptors in the kitchen and so on... T-Rex legs in any shot are also CGI (animatronic T-rex model didn't have legs)... I think T-Rex jeep chase also has several CGI shots. I think watching it these days, it's quite easy to spot which shots are mainly animatronic and which ones CGI.
@@r.g.o3879 I don't know exactly what Sam Neill was looking at when he got out of the jeep and looked up during shooting, but that is a CGI dinosaur on screen.
No, this is a 10 out of 10. It's a classic, what more could you want from it.
The sequels aren’t as great unfortunately
I'm just imagining Jeff Goldblum going: "Humans had their shot, and evolution selected them for extinction."
*Neanderthals had their shot, and evolution selected them for extinction.
Mammals survived the death of the dinos, sadly the Neanderthals didn't survive us.

I was lucky enough to watch Jurassic Park on its opening weekend in the theaters back in 1993. It was one of the defining experiences of my childhood; imagine seeing those mindblowing special effects and hearing that incredible audio on the big screen. It completely outclassed any other movie that was out at the time. I'm so glad that you finally watched it!
He's not Irish, he's Scottish, though in reality he's English, his name was Richard Attenborough, the brother of David Attenborough. He was acting from the 1940's.
No matter how many times i see it, it takes me back to the first time when the dinosaurs show up and the music swells. just iconic.
The T-Rex in this film is one seriously hungry beastie. It eats a whole goat and a whole lawyer and apparently it still feels the need for me.
Most paleontologists think Tyrannosaurus specialized in hunting and feeding on large hadrosaurs and estimate it could swallow 100 lbs of meat in one bite. Both a goat and an adult male human would each be little more than an appetizer for a hungry T. rex.
thats cause lawyers r all hot air!
John Williams is probably the greatest film composer of all time, so many iconic tunes and recognisable themes. Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, ET, Jaws, Superman, Harry Potter......the list goes on. Basically my childhood.
20:07 - Notice the words on the rearview mirror!!! One of the best moments in the movie.
I remember going to the theaters in 1993 to see this movie! I was 10 years. Out of 1000s of movies this is my favorite movie out of all of them! Look at behinds the scene and videos that analyze this movie! It’s a master piece
