omg another mainstream movie... my god who are you fooling ...we know you have seen it. instead react to movies you haven't seen.. like SIN CITY 2005 WARRIOR 2011 FIGHT CLUB 1999 WATCHMEN 2009 LAW ABIDING CITIZEN 2009 THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO 2011
Love this franchise!! Wait until you see the 6th movie Dominion, crazy scary. have you reacted tot he movie She's the Man? I just watched it and it is hilarious
@LiteWeightReacting Birds are dinosaurs btw (no, this is not a joke, I'm serious). Dinosaurs are actually not extinct - only the non-avian (bird) dinosaurs are. Which also means that birds are actually reptiles. Another misconception about the non-avian dinosaurs is that they where whiped out by the meteroid strike at the end of the Cretacious, but in reality most if not all species where already extinct before the impact. The meteroid did wipe out the large marine reptiles like mosasaurs (which are not dinosaurs) and the last pterosaurs though, as well as many other species. Birds are the group within the dinosaurs that is most closely related to the Dromaeosauridae, the group that also includes Velociraptor. The depiction of the velociraptor in the movie is wrong for two reasons btw: The first reason wasn't known when the movie was made - all Dromaeosauridae including Velociraptors had feathers (the fossils proving that where found in 1997, several years after the movie was made). The second reason however was known at the time: The Velociraptors in the movie are way too big. Real velociraptors where 2 meters in length from snout to the tip of the tail and about half of that was the tail - their height would have been about knee-high for an adult man. The raptors in the movie are based on the species Deinonychus, another much larger species that was also part of the Dromaeosauridae and as such had feathers as well. I don't know why they chose to call the animals shown in the movie Velociraptors and not by the correct name Deinonychus (which means terrible claw btw). 13:53 That is actually a misconception as well. When thinking about the vertebrate species that kills the most humans in Africa each year - you'd most likely think of the wrong species. Most people say hyenas, lions, crocodiles, wild dogs, leopards...they think of the most dangerous predators in Africa and yes, these do occasionally kill humans. However - the species that kills the most humans and by a good margin is actually a herbivore species: Hippos. Hippos are unpredictable and extremely dangerous, especially the male ones. Similarly, elephants, rhinos, giraffes and even african buffalos are all easily capable of killing a human and sometimes do so (and not by accident but because of the animals feeling threatened).
@@tanelviil9149 but for a youtube reaction video to do well it needs to be a movie MANY people will recognize otherwise it won't garner the same amount of views. like if I saw a reaction for any of the named movies you have listed I wouldn't have clicked on them because I haven't seen it. youtube content is still a business.
Your comments about seeing the dinosaur for the first time: nobody had ever seen anything like that before. Seeing it in the theater when it first came out, that scene just floored everybody! And then the wide shot of the whole valley filled with different dinosaurs was amazing!
I was eight when it came out, i go with my uncle to see it (it wasn't PG-watever in my country), it was incredible, probably one of my best cinema experience ever !
When the movie came out in 1993 I distinctly remember newspaper articles reporting that many people couldn't understand how Spielberg did it since CGI of that level hadn't t really been seen back then. Some people even suspected Spielberg of having bred real dinosaurs. 🤣
@@milhouse8525 I was 2, so I couldnt go see it when it first came out, but every re-run I was there on the theater and I destroyed my VHS of it with too many rewatches
.......I wouldn't say ANY genre. Spielberg went from Jurassic Park to Schindler's list and I can't really see JP pushing THAT out of the way to claim best/greatest War Movie/Holocaust genre. Or teen romance dystopian future genre. Or found footage horror genre.....but it does combine quite a few of them.
Found footage had what a good 3yrs before it started getting old lol, its basically the easiest least work as far as cinematography that you can get, terrible take.@sianne79
30 years ago I was a seven year-old kid, desperate to watch this amazing new dinosaur movie. My parents, of course, said: "NO, too adult"! One weekend my Dad was caring for me while my Mom worked. Long story short, we went to Auto Zone to get the car fixed, he told me it'd take an hour, over four hours later we were still sitting there in the waiting room. After the car was finally repaired, he told me "Thank you so much for being so well-behaved while this took forever. Is there anything I can do to repay you?" I smiled and said "Jurassic Park". He then sighed and said: "Don't tell your mother." This became my all-time favorite film as a kid. We actually went back to the movie theatre a week later, with my mom, who thoroughly enjoyed it herself! :)
That’s awesome, I was 6 when it came out and we saw it in the theater… I had the whole compound set of action figures. This movie will always be one of the greatest movies of all time
Whenever my two little daughters start fighting with each other, my “go to” line is “Quiet! All of you……they’re entering the Tyrannosaur paddock.” And my kids are too young to have seen this, so they just think daddy is weird.
I remember when ads for this first came out, all they showed was the amber with the mosquito and extracting it’s blood, and then the title “JURASSIC PARK” - and that’s it. So when we all saw it for the first time, and it all went wrong, it scared the crap out of the audience. NO ONE was prepared for it. I think you can find footage of audiences watching it for the first time being shocked and screaming. Pretty awesome. I think the last time before this movie something like that happened was in Psycho when Norman Bates kills Janet Leigh in the shower. No one expected that either.
I remember adverts showing the two glasses of water vibrating with the thump sounds, plus the bit where the cars drive through the gate with the big sign over the top.
Great movie! The book was far more darker,almost every characters have negative traits and most of them dies. Stephen Spilberg decided to change the original story and made a family friendly movie😆 The tecnique utilized for dinosaurs close shot it's called animatronics,basically an animated robot
So happy how much the first reveal of the first dinosaur with the Jurassic Park theme finally being played affected you. I believe too many reactors just talk through that part and don't take it in. It is one of my favorite music cues in all of movie history and gives me goosebumps to this day. Just an iconic scene.
@@LiteWeightReacting I’ve also seen it speculated to be foreshadowing of the technical problems and safety issues they’ll face through the park in the rest of the film - they’re not even at the park yet and they’ve faced their first potentially dangerous malfunction on a ride.
Not just AI. They are now integrating fungus with AI because fungus makes the equivalent of a nervous system in the plant world so they torture the fungus with things it doesn't like (ie:light) and the fungus will send distress signals through its nervous system and those signals make the robots move in response. They're gonna FA and end up making fungus sentient and we're gonna end up with Skynet becoming The Last of Us
@@LiteWeightReacting I'm glad you like JP :) It's my favorite movie! If you haven't already watched it, I recommend JW's Camp Cretaceous series (which, despite being more for kids, feels much more like a proper continuation of JP than the JW movies). Also, if you wanna learn about real dinos (including birds), I highly recommend Darren Naish's "Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved" (the best adult intro to the whole story of dinos) & "Dinopedia: A Brief Compendium of Dinosaur Lore" (the best adult guide to dinos & their cultural impact since the 1970s). P.S. To answer your questions/concerns: -11:40: The reason JP used frog DNA for dinos is similar to why we used frogs for pregnancy tests (Google "A Brief History of Injecting Frogs with Urine"). -37:00: That fall could've broken or killed Tim had Grant not caught him, so of course he was scared to jump.
48:23 "clever girl" one line shows how much he alone respected the dinosaurs. He knew he was dead, but was still somehow impressed with how they got him.
When this came out I saw it 6 times in theaters as a kid, with different people almost every time. That's how epic it was. When CGI was new and blended beautifully with practical effects. Not completely depended on as it is now. I will never forget feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples...now that's chaos. One of the greatest cinematic experiences in history.
@@LiteWeightReacting Fun fact, the water ripples in the glasses were made by a guy hitting a single musical string right under the deck of the car... Spielberg wanted this way of showing the "ground shaking" effect of T-Rex's steps and they had tried a ton of ways without success but nothing worked until one of the special effects guys had the string idea and they went with that but Spielberg was hellbent on the water rippling effect and he wasn't backing down until they found the solution. Another double fun fact which shows you why Steven Spielberg is the best director of all time... John Hammond said "By the end of the week I will be expecting your apologies" which is Steven Spielberg talking to Hollywood executives since they didn't believe in this movie AT ALL and he had to fight tooth and nail to get the money for it... and while he was filming Jurassic Park during weekdays, on the weekends he was filming "Schindler's List"... yes, the masterpiece that won a fuckton of awards was his "weekend project"... the man is in a league of his own... That's why I always say "Spielberg is Spielberg and the rest are just the rest"... the only man to ever come close to him even though Spielberg is still superior is James Cameron in terms of creativity and visuals, nobody else but Cameron couldn't have made Schindler's List or Saving Private Ryan, so that's why Spielberg is just different...
@@LiteWeightReacting I recently watched it at my local theater, You'll have to keep your eye out but they do reshow these movies from time to time! The theater experience is second to none unless you have someone who's rich and has a home theater lol. The second movie is a lot more menacing than this, you'll love it! Movies these days are not as good because the different studios are micro-managing the directors and writers and even actors with committees that say we want this we want that, we dont want this. Older movies dont deserve remakes because of how good the originals were and because it's just a money grab operation and filled with propaganda/agendas. Love that you can see these differences! Can't wait for the next! I'm subbed!
Great reaction! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Not a lot of people notice this, but for the entire movie Hammond keeps going "Oh we spared no expense, we spared no expense" but the main reason why Dennis decides to steal from them is because Hammond didn't pay him enough. lol
I can't put into words how it felt to see the scene where they first see the dinosaurs in theaters as a kid. It might sound absolutely stupid and cliché, but it was magical.
Same, i was one of those kids with the mail subscription that gave you a new dinasaur card and info pamphlet each month (and stickers). This came out and me and my sister lost our minds (parents too). Just amazing back then in theaters. It was indeed magical.
The special effects in this movie hold up absurdly well. This thing is like 32 years old, and the T-Rex scene in particular still looks better than 95% of the fake-looking CGI stuff that comes out today.
Awhile back, Corridor Digital did an analysis of the digital effects for this flick and were largely complimentary. There's techniques (and tools) that have been developed to address details that couldn't be handled with the tech of the time. And there's some wonderful mixes of practical and digital effects going on. But all in all... yeah... its just a stellar piece of work.
Speaking for myself, I got just as teary-eyed when the theme kicks in when they first see the Brachiosaurs out in the field the first time I watched it. Honestly I still get a little teary-eyed at that moment.
You have to imagine it's 1993, and you're seeing this in the theater, and you've never seen CGI that looked anything close to this real before. It was amazing.
Not to mention John Freaking Williams and the score. That man transports us to every possible location with his music. From the Olympics, to A Galaxy Far, Far away. The CGI combined with that moving cello piece? Absolute perfection for it's time.
@@LiteWeightReacting I saw it in the cinema as a kid with my mother. It certainly left an impression. 😂😨 I read Crichton's books too. There are many pages where Crichton dives deep into Ian Malcolm's remarks about Chaos Theory. Fantastic reading, would recommend.
It was the first movie I saw at the cinema. Mum only took me coz it was about dinosaurs so she thought it would be like The Land Before Time but real life 😂
The original Michael Crichton book this film was based on was incredible. As you might expect there were quite a few differences in the film; Donald Gennaro was a much more badass and heroic character who survived to the end, his film counterpart was mashed together with a different character called Ed Regis, the coward that abandoned the kids and was later killed by the juvenile T-Rex (there were two in the book); Alan Grant had a bushy beard; the kids' roles were reversed in the film (book Tim was the older computer expert, book Lex was the younger, more obnoxious one); John Hammond was much less sympathetic and more of a ruthless villain, and died at the end after injuring his leg and being attacked by a swarm of procompsognathus (smaller, dog-sized dinos); Lewis Dodgson (the rival corpo who serves as Nedry's liaison) was also a more active villain who returned as the main antagonist of the Lost World book, but he didn't appear in the films again until Jurassic World Dominion in 2022. What really made the book a pleasure to read was how Crichton made his passion for the scientific themes evident in how he presented and explain everything; he had a degree in medical science and was also an early proponent of programming and computers, but most of his professional life was spent writing. The way those scientific concepts are illustrated (textually and literally) in the book is really entertaining and engaging. Other movies based on Crichton's works include the sequel The Lost World, The Andromeda Strain and Congo. One thing I find quite funny about the book is how in the end, it's implied that the raptors have escaped into the wild and despite being coded to have a lysine deficiency, they are surviving by eating lysine-rich foods such as chicken, which reminds me of the apocalypse event in Vampire the Masquerade... "and the antediluvians shall awaken once again and devour their children".
I never read the book, it’s not surprising that the movie is very different from the book. Doesn’t Hammond die in the book, as well as Malcolm? And doesn’t the lawyer live?
My ABSOLUTE favourite film of all time! I've watched this at LEAST once a year since it was released and can still enjoy every single second of it! Then you John Williams' complete masterpiece of a score.. which is just otherworldly! 110/10
YO WHAT?! Imagine my surprise/thrill that you are first time watching one my favorite films of all tme. JP did SO much for the evolution of practical effects supplemented with CGI. Such an iconic film and franchise. Looking forward to watching your reaction to this after I get home and, hopefully, the rest of the franchise down the road!

You hit the nail on the head. Most of the full-body shots of the dinos are CGI and the partial shots are practical. That's the reason the CGI still holds up after 30+ years. The eye never gets used to the CGI illusion.
This film was like magic when it first came out. Others in the comments have already elaborated on how groundbreaking the effects were for film in general, but it was truly an unforgettable experience for me as a teenager. So many memorable lines: "hold on to your butts", "clever girl", "they remember", "ah-ah-ahh you didn't say the magic word", "he left us he left us", "life uh finds a way"...I could go on. This was one of those films I couldn't wait to show my children so that they could share in the magic, but I always got the impression they weren't impacted the same way. And that's probably in part (or whole) due to the ubiquity of CGI in the 21st century. Jurassic Park used CGI with finesse to make the unbelievable real. And the score? Chef's kiss, John Williams is the master of film music.
Great reaction like always, What an epic movie love it. When I saw this in the theaters there was NO CONVINCING anyone that dinosaurs were not real. The CGI and effects were so beyond anyone’s imagination. It still holds up decades later. The part where Dr. Grant sees the dinosaur for the first time always puts a lump in my throat. He's spent his entire life digging up their remains and from that, trying to determine how they lived, hunted, mated, everything. He's even talking to himself going over what he thought he always knew about them. Super powerful and well acted if you ask me! Here's a fun fact that has been stuck in my head for 30 years.The iconic water cup was actually really difficult to create. They spent weeks trying to figure out how to get the perfect ripples. By accident it was discovered that placing the glass on a guitar and plucking the strings created the ripples, so they ran a guitar string from bottom of the glass to the bottom of the car and plucked it. Perfect ripples. One of those cool super simple solutions that just need someone to think of them. Keep up the good work.
Maybe the fastest I've clicked on a video. "No views 23 seconds ago". My absolute favorite reacter. I'm excited to rewatch this with you now, what a nostalgic lane we're gonna go down together.
When you said that you loved all the “different iterations of the theme song,” I smiled with amusement at your unusual choice of words, because it inadvertently tied into the structure of the original novel as the body of Crichton’s Jurassic Park is divided into Iterations 1 through 5. Great reaction as always!
In the novel, Dr Sattler eventually figures out that the herbivorous dinos WERE being poisoned by the West Indian lilac, because they use gizzard stones to grind their food (as birds do), and when they vomited up the old stones and swallowed new sharp ones every 6 weeks or so, they were also inadvertently swallowing lilac berries. If they did shoot that resolution for the film version, they apparently cut it out for runtime.
They really did a lot of little things like that. Hell, in the novel Dennis never managed to turn off the Key Checks so they were able to see everything he did to the system and how. If I remember correctly, it was one of the few things he didn't have high enough clearance to interfere with.
@@logann7942 The film (the theatrical version) doesn't even show how she got that Veriforma leaf. In an augmented version shown on TV, she grabs the leaf from a plant while the Jeep passes by it.
the film lacks a lot of things the book did . the film also screwed around so many cahracters. in the book ellie sattler was a 23 yo student , not grant's love interest. nor was she big into the "roar, i'm female " kinda feminism she seems to be in the movie. i mena hell 1/4th of her dialouge in the movie is her saying some stupid feminist BS or the scene where she argues with hammond about being a girl . hammond was the greedy bastard , not the lawyer nor was the lawyer a coward that ran off and left the kids (that was the park's head of public realtions that did that). Grant loved kids in the book and was in his 50's. hammond on the other hand didn't want any thing to do with his grandkids , and only reluctantly took them in for the week end at the request of thier mom. actually the more and more i think about it the more and more i disliked this movie over the years (i read the book a good year or two before the movie came out) a lot of spielbergs changes were just trash cahnges meant to add some kind of drama to it , when the story itself had enough drama and it only made 2/3rds of teh cast unlikeable while making some of the worse characters of the novel redeemable (such as hammond who was a utter peice of human garbage in the book).
Yes! Andy Serkis dominates the acting genre of motion capture, as Peter Jackson's Gollum (LOTR and The Hobbit) and King Kong, and as Cesar (new Planet of the Apes movies)
@@dankeefer8859 just don’t watch Godzilla 1998, I use to like that movie. But listening and pondering over other people’s opinions, I’m starting to agree with them… it was just a poorly made sci-fi monster movie
By the time dominion happens, rexy would/should be about 35yrs old. Nedry mentioned 10yrs of research to dodgson. Assuming the dinos were being born around 5yrs in, which would also explain rexy and dilos curiosity more than aggression at first, cuz they were still young. Just my theory.
@@LiteWeightReactingYep especially that you could see the scars on her face from her battle with the velociraptors. Plus her roaring is a bit different because Jurassic World takes place 20 years after Jurassic Park so you could tell that she’s much older which is why her roaring sounded different.
Forgot to say before(just realized I'm re-watching this reaction): "Hold on to your butts" is something I heard before Jurassic Park. But I do suppose it popularized it somewhat.
This is the only movie that gives me true nostalgia. Remembering sitting in the kitchen as a young boy with my mother watching this late at night in the mid 90s.. No other movie does that to me. And I will always come back to it now and then to remember a time where everything in life was beautiful and simple. Great react. Happy you enjoyed it!
Girl I cry every time they see the dinosaurs for the first time. They just do such a great job showing how amazed they are by seeing them. And I love how emotional they are as well!
I love watching your reactions! I also wish I could reverse time so I could experience this movie for the first time again. Jurassic Park was the first time I experienced true awe in a theater. I was 8 years old, and I still vividly remember what it was like to see it on the big screen for the first time. It's a core memory and it sparked my love of film and filmmaking. Everyone says it, but when the Brachiosaurus was revealed for the first time, it was mind-blowing. Nothing like that had ever looked that real before. It was completely convincing and felt like we were seeing an actual dinosaur for the first time and not just a movie monster with uncanny effects or a cartoon. Your reaction to that moment was beautiful. It still has that power! The T. Rex attack stepped it up from there. That long shot of her coming through the fence is still one of my all-time favorite moments in film. The roar is iconic. Seeing it in 3D a few years ago was incredible. It was like watching for the first time all over again. I remember being in awe and terrified at the same time, all in the best ways. This was also the first film score that I ever listened to after the movie was over. It's the reason I developed a love for orchestral music and film scores, and it even led to me becoming a musician. The effects hold up so well, and it's mainly due to the way they were implemented. As groundbreaking as the CGI effects were then, they still had to come up with unique solutions and work within their limitations. But the single biggest reason the effects work so well is because of the camera work. Everything is shot from a human perspective. No crazy camera moves. No weird angles. So glad you watched this! I say watch all three. They aren't up to par with Jurassic Park, but The Lost World is still a darker, fun story with a slightly different tone, and Jurassic Park III is solid with a few really memorable moments. Just adjust your expectations and enjoy the ride.
I worked at a movie theater when this was released, we loved sitting in the back, watching sold out show after sold out show, as audiences gasped in wonder, at the Brontosaurus scene! now doing it online! lol wow
Hi from the Netherlands. I think it is so nice to see that there are now people (younger people) who are watching this film for the first time. A film that is already 31 years old and how well it continues to do even in this day and age. If you consider that this film was so far ahead of its time in technology and filmmaking and was the founder of a new era of filmmaking. Considering that there is only 20% CGI in this film and the rest is all robot dinosaurs. When I went to see this film I was in the cinema for 11 years and what an experience that was and this is still one of my favorite films with a few other films around that time. I also saw this film again in 4k full HD on an IMAX screen in the cinema. Very cool. I also liked Jurraric world and what you just said 1 is the best. but they can't match this one still. It's nice that there is also a documentary about the making of this film.
I continue to be amazed by your ability to take these fantastic films and break them down into relatable points of shared experience or common sense and still make it fun and funny and emotional. Thanks again!
In case no one else has already explained, the significance of the way Grant ties his seatbelt in the helicopter is this: he only has 2 ‘female’ ends of the seatbelts, but he still “finds a way” to fasten his seatbelt. It’s foreshadowing the all female dinosaurs finding a way to reproduce.
@@clarkness77 If you've ever done film analysis, looking a bit too into it is kinda the point. I always interpreted it as foreshadowing the park being poorly designed.
This is a classic thing certain types of people do that i very much dislike. You've added that "foreshadowing" to add a reasoning that was never there. It was a mildly comedic moment showing his character. That's it. DO NOT make things up to try and add some ridiculous depth to every moment.
I'm just glad, that i found your channel, you really stand out from others with your empathy, intelligence and honest reactions. Came here because of a compilation of reactions, and you were the only one, who got my attention. If you missed all these great movies, maybe you also missed "True Lies", "5th Element", "Snatch" or "Pulp Fiction" (bit darker), just to see you smile more, but thats also catching to see, dramas how deeply got you, so i would also recommend "Fight Club", "Seven", "Casino" or "V for Vendetta". I could go on and on, but i just hope you the best, keep up the good work!
I adore this movie, so so much. Everything about it - the soundtrack, the action, the discussion into ethics, the characters, the cinematography. It's absolutely magical. I still - after dozens of watches - get emotional, like you did, when they first arrive to the island. I saw the movie with a live orchestra playing the soundtrack last year, and it's one of the greatest things ive ever experienced. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Historical note. Sam Neill did a screen test as James Bond, and it’s damn good. You should check it out. Brosnan got the role, of course, but fate arranged for Neill to get JP as a consolation prize. It all worked out perfectly.
Refering back to this movie a common statement around my gaming table is that T-Rex cannot see you unless you move. We are uncertain to whether the statement refers just to the creature or the English Rock Band as well.

I was 14, 1994. Still grabs me in the feels in a way that, with John Williams' score backing the moment up and making it divinely perfect: yeah...I am that 14 year old watching the movie for the first time as a teenager every time. I remember having a friend who had a CD player, dubbed the soundtrack onto tape, played Song 1, 2, 4, 7, 15 so much that there was a literal line down the middle of the tape. Only album I ever saw that happen. I was 14 at the time. 44 now. Still feel like that little kid every time I hear the theme, Journey to the Island, and Welcome to Jurassic Park (#& on the soundtrack) every time feels just like THE first time.
Superb reaction as always. One of the best reaction channels on TH-cam as the reactions are always articulate and intelligent yet also fun. Keep up the great work.
That beautiful scene where they see the first dinosaur... I was there in the cinema on the day Jurassic Park opened, aged 7 with my dad. It was absolutely breathtaking. You have to realise, CGI wasn't as widespread as it is today and nobody had ever seen a dinosaur depicted that realistically before. As the film characters gawped in awe, we felt exactly the same. We'd never seen a movie like it. Along with John Williams' score that scene gave me insane goosebumps and a lifelong dinosaur obsession. I have seen this movie ten thousand times in the intervening years and it still brings a lump to my throat. What a movie.
The score for this film still to this day makes me teary, and especially the moment when they (Drs. Grant and Satler) see the dinosaurs for the first time. Absolute magic, from top to bottom. Wonderful reaction!
First time I saw this was in a theater in Seattle. We were visiting from Canada for the weekend. When we came out of the matinee showing the sky was dark from a spectacular thunderstorm. The whole situation was pretty terrifying. Thank you for sharing your reactions with us. 😊
Spielberg's talent for visually telling stories is unique. John Ford, Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Orson Welles...and him. One of the greatest directors in the history of cinema.
I was eight when this movie came out and saw it in the movie theater. It will always be an unforgettable experience. I loved it then and I love it now! I loved what you said about Disney board of directors greed - nailed it and BEAUTIFUL!
9:00 it was emotional because up until this movie, we had never seen a dinosaur visualized on the screen in such a realistic way. It was emotional because imagine you were a paleontologist who only saw bones and now you saw the living breathing creature or being a kid who could only read about dinosaurs and now you see what amounts to a real life dinosaur on the screen. This movie definitely changed the scale for CGI and praise be to Steven Spielberg and Stan Winston for making this happen.
I remember watching Jurassic Park in theaters in the summer of 1993 😮 all of us experiencing the musical score and amazing realistic dinosaurs larger than life on the movie screen. It was magical being there for the birth of a classic film 😊
Great reaction! Normally I would say the first one is the best to start with, and going back to the beginning after watching 3 sequels with all their modern visual effects is going to be hard to do, but you treated it perfectly and suspended your disbelief. This first one really was the best. A true cinematic masterpiece and a classic. I was lucky enough to have watched in theaters when it came out, and then introduced my totally reluctant and skeptical aunt to it just last year (in 3D!) when they brought it back to theaters for 1 day. She absolutely LOVED it. So glad you did too.
The seatbelt scene in the beginning, to the best of my knowledge was just meant to be funny. It wasn't until later that people realized that it foreshadowed what was to come. He was using two female buckles, and found a way to make it work.
You're absolutely correct. It wasn't intended to serve as foreshadowing when shot. It was just meant to highlight Alan's ineptitude and things not working around him - like the monitor earlier in the film that zaps out whenever he touches it.
@joeberger3441 It's two female buckles being combined... It's an extremely straightforward analogy for "life finding a way". Intentionally shot that way or not, and I find it hard to believe it was entirely a coincidence, it's absolutely not "reaching" to make that association.
You are one of the BEST reactors on TH-cam. You are insightful, observant, empathetic, intelligent... you draw connections, you catch symbolisms, you allow yourself to be moved by what you're watching, and you expertly toe the line of providing interesting commentary without talking over the movie. And even though all of that would totally be enough, as the cherry on top, you are very beautiful which adds an element of visual beauty to all of the other elements of excellent content that you provide. I am so glad I found your channel! Thanks for sharing with us ❤️
I went to the 25th anniversary showing with a friend, and I legit cried, there's so much magic. Everything I love about this movie was so grandiose beyond reckoning on the big screen, which I'd previously seen on everything from our normal 27 inch (90s-00s) to portable DVD player on road trips to laptop, on and on. I really thought I'd seen the movie by that point, but it was such a different experience that I highly recommend going to a showing. Also I sent my dad a gif of the "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" moment on his birthday with the message-I found rare footage from your childhood!
Another fantastic choice for a reaction, I'm excited to watch! Also I don't see anything, at least until you said something so we'll just pretend you didn't😂😉
8:50 "Why'd that make me emotional!" Great reaction, and that's why this movie is so loved. The build up, setting up how important that moment would be for these two characters especially, perfect acting, great visuals and the amazing score. Super rare to see all that come together in a movie.
The Lost World is definitely worth watching. 3 is kinda take it or leave it. Some people really like it. I'd still say 3 is better than any of the 3 newer ones.
I grew up in the 90s so I had the fortune to see this film as a child and I've treasured the "Jurassic Park" franchise ever since. I watched all the movies, played a lot of the video games, read the novels by Michael Crichton (RIP), bought the toys as a kid, you name it.
Fun fact. The kids were terified in the car, the glas wasnt supposed to break like that. And im 40 now from the Netherlands and next year I finally am able to go to Univeral to see JP/JW!!! IM stoked!!! And proud to share this with my kids.
I saw this multiple times in the theater and what I remember most isn't the CGI, but the surround sound. This was the first movie in DTS, if you were lucky enough to live near one of the few theaters that was equipped for it in 1993. I distinctly remember being in awe of hearing rain falling all around me and feeling the floor rumble whenever the T-rex roared. I was blown away. It's easily the most memorable theater experience that I've ever had.
Seeing this in theaters as a teen was an experience. It still doesn’t get old to rewatch these films, and the graphics look pretty good on a big screen tv. I think the next two movies are def worth a watch.
Yeah, whenever I watch the movie in private, I always like to comment, as if I am the dilophosaurus : "You're kidding me ! You have about 200 pounds of meat on you !"
I watched a video short a while ago where a guy tried to feed a bear by hand, and the bear grabbed his whole hand. (He was able to escape, thanks to friends) People forget that they're food. 😂
Fun fact time: if you remember Jurassic World well, there is a segment where the two brothers came across some ruins. Those ruins are the main tourism center you just saw in this film. Basically, it meant a lot to Jurassic Park lovers who recognized the ruins. The island that Jurassic World and its sequel take place on is this island. Also, the T-rex in its first scenes is mostly practical. A few shots there were CGI. I think they mentioned in the behind the scenes that they constantly had trouble with rain affecting the T-rex mechs that were created for this film. I think I also heard somewhere that raptors were the humans of the dinosaur age. Hence their intelligence and capability for personality. Jurassic Park is a childhood classic of mine. I'm glad you got to see it. As usual, I enjoy your laughter, and I even had a few chuckles myself at a few infamous lines/scenes. I personally think Jurassic Park: Lost World is also a good film. If you loved Ian Malcolm in this film, he gets to be one of the stars in the next one which is Lost World. Now, here's my Joe Joke for now: do you know what drivers dread most about the ancient alphabet? The letter T, it wrecks (rex).
Not to say they wouldn't have bred predators anyway, but in the book the species they make in the park are pretty much random because they didn't know what dinosaur the DNA belonged to before they cloned it
You are DEFINITELY an awesome reactor. It's like I'm watching it for the first time. I'm glad you enjoyed this movie. That T-Rex scene, to this day, is still one of my favorite suspenseful shots in the visual effects world. 🙂
This was adapted from the Michael Crichton novel of the same name. After watching the next two, I recommend doing a rewatch of the Jurassic World trilogy, but I also recommend watching the short film and both Netflix animated shows. Steven Spielberg directed Schindler's List while this was being finished. The actor playing Tim also has a starring role in the HBO drama series The Pacific, while the actress playing his sister is also in Tremors and Tremors 3
I'm so glad I was 7 years old when the first one came out. It blew my mind, I had all the toys, it was my first adult reading level novel, etc. Jurassic mania was real! I remember people leaving the auditorium after the showing and buying tickets for the next showing. It was wild!
Behind the scenes, this setup CGI techniques to be used for decades. But also, most of the dinos up close are animatronic and still look fantastic. The t tex got so heavy as it soaked up ALL the rain.
Seeing this in theaters when it came out was a surreal experience. Up to this point most of the dinosaurs on-screen that we had seen were stop-motion/claymation. If you examine the time-period, Carnosaur and Tammy and the T-Rex were the only other dinosaurs movies that released around this time and they were more reflective of the dinosaurs we had seen in film. Spielberg completely blew everyone away with this. I only wish you could hop in a time machine and feel the absolute wonder that seeing this in 1993 brought with it. Have a great day!
Jurassic Park is my favorite movie ever made! So happy to see you react to it. Its a big part of my life, and half my possessions are Jurassic Park themed.
Great watch! I love the first time reactions. Reminds me of my first time watching. You really won't go wrong watching the next two. They clearly don't hit like the OG but you will enjoy the Animals and their characteristics after all. If you let it, It will at least be entertaining. And then we get to see them again also!!!😊 Hope to see you soon.Thanks again...
If you ever play the Jurassic Evolution park Sim games, and get up to the T-rex, you can feed them goats, and zoom in to watch the kill animations. Sometimes they will literally toss the goats into the air and gulp them down in one bite. My kid loves watching them do that.
You got to be kidding me! One of the greatest movies ever made! And you watched the awful Jurassic World first? 🤣 back in the day I was too young to watch it in the cinema but damn...when we got this on VHS I must have watched it 100 times. It turned me into one of these dinosaur kids of the 90s. 🥰 And I still love it so much! Always goosebumps on certain scenes. What a treat to see you react to this! Btw you look phenomenal. 😇 Edit: Definately watch all 3. 2nd is great, 3rd is okay but still ten times better than Jurassic World...
I was 13 when this came out. I saw it in the theater 11 times… several back to back. We just stayed in the theater between showings. To this day, I still shed a tear when they see that first dinosaur.
The CGI definitely still holds up. It's not perfect, but overall it still looks great. I think one of the major contributing factors is that they used it in moderation while mixing in practical effects and animatronics.
My theory is that it looks better when artists are advancing the state of the art. Meticulously inspecting and touching up each frame to make it look amazing. When it's just the "Jurassic Park Dino Plugin" that you throw at 10,000 foreign artists for a weekend to essentially reshoot the whole movie, it ends up looking like a low-quality previs storyboard.
I saw this in 3D when it was re-released in theaters a bunch of years ago. I have seen this movie so many times, but seeing it on the big screen in 3D was absolutely terrifying. Amazing movie!
The original novel is worth reading too, even after seeing the movie. It has more content, more characters, and the characterization of characters - especially Hammond - is entirely different in it. It also has different group of survivors.
One change from book to movie that I approved of. I seem to remember the girl had nothing to do in the story except get chased. In the book, the boy was both the dinosaur nerd and a computer nerd. (I've been both all my life 🙂). Here in the movie, they make her the computer nerd. I thought that was a wise change.
@@MightyDrakeC She was also a little girl in the book so she was there pretty much just to create tension as helpless character. Also in the book Ellie Sattler was much younger too, like barely out of her teens and played for more sex appeal. Her relationship with Grant was also different in the book, there was zero romantic tension between them, Grant just considered himself her mentor.
I'll never forget this movie. I lived in Bozeman Montana at the time it came out and had dinner plans and a date to go to the movie. However, I was working on a film in Butte Montana during the day, and on the way home I blew a tire on my truck. This was 1993, so long before cellphones, so I had to wait a long time for someone to come along on the road to help me get my tire to a gas station. Needless to say I missed dinner, but the girl and I still managed to make the movie which was incredible at the time!

@LiteWeightReacting Birds are dinosaurs btw (no, this is not a joke, I'm serious). Dinosaurs are actually not extinct - only the non-avian (bird) dinosaurs are. Which also means that birds are actually reptiles. Another misconception about the non-avian dinosaurs is that they where whiped out by the meteroid strike at the end of the Cretacious, but in reality most if not all species where already extinct before the impact. The meteroid did wipe out the large marine reptiles like mosasaurs (which are not dinosaurs) and the last pterosaurs though, as well as many other species.
Birds are the group within the dinosaurs that is most closely related to the Dromaeosauridae, the group that also includes Velociraptor. The depiction of the velociraptor in the movie is wrong for two reasons btw: The first reason wasn't known when the movie was made - all Dromaeosauridae including Velociraptors had feathers (the fossils proving that where found in 1997, several years after the movie was made). The second reason however was known at the time: The Velociraptors in the movie are way too big. Real velociraptors where 2 meters in length from snout to the tip of the tail and about half of that was the tail - their height would have been about knee-high for an adult man. The raptors in the movie are based on the species Deinonychus, another much larger species that was also part of the Dromaeosauridae and as such had feathers as well. I don't know why they chose to call the animals shown in the movie Velociraptors and not by the correct name Deinonychus (which means terrible claw btw).
13:53 That is actually a misconception as well. When thinking about the vertebrate species that kills the most humans in Africa each year - you'd most likely think of the wrong species. Most people say hyenas, lions, crocodiles, wild dogs, leopards...they think of the most dangerous predators in Africa and yes, these do occasionally kill humans.
However - the species that kills the most humans and by a good margin is actually a herbivore species: Hippos. Hippos are unpredictable and extremely dangerous, especially the male ones. Similarly, elephants, rhinos, giraffes and even african buffalos are all easily capable of killing a human and sometimes do so (and not by accident but because of the animals feeling threatened).
@@tanelviil9149 but for a youtube reaction video to do well it needs to be a movie MANY people will recognize otherwise it won't garner the same amount of views. like if I saw a reaction for any of the named movies you have listed I wouldn't have clicked on them because I haven't seen it. youtube content is still a business.
Your comments about seeing the dinosaur for the first time: nobody had ever seen anything like that before. Seeing it in the theater when it first came out, that scene just floored everybody! And then the wide shot of the whole valley filled with different dinosaurs was amazing!
I was eight when it came out, i go with my uncle to see it (it wasn't PG-watever in my country), it was incredible, probably one of my best cinema experience ever !
Came here to say roughly the same thing. Was imagine seeing it opening night. When nothing like that had ever been seen before.
I cry when I see it honestly ❤
The score and the passion, it’s so gorgeous ❤
When the movie came out in 1993 I distinctly remember newspaper articles reporting that many people couldn't understand how Spielberg did it since CGI of that level hadn't t really been seen back then. Some people even suspected Spielberg of having bred real dinosaurs. 🤣
@@milhouse8525 I was 2, so I couldnt go see it when it first came out, but every re-run I was there on the theater and I destroyed my VHS of it with too many rewatches
The original Jurassic Park film from 93 is not only the best JP film… but easily one of the greatest films of all time in any genre.
.......I wouldn't say ANY genre. Spielberg went from Jurassic Park to Schindler's list and I can't really see JP pushing THAT out of the way to claim best/greatest War Movie/Holocaust genre. Or teen romance dystopian future genre. Or found footage horror genre.....but it does combine quite a few of them.
I would say that the 2nd movie is probadly the best.
What? ist the best.
Absolutely. It's close to being my all-time favorite film of any genre..
Found footage had what a good 3yrs before it started getting old lol, its basically the easiest least work as far as cinematography that you can get, terrible take.@sianne79
30 years ago I was a seven year-old kid, desperate to watch this amazing new dinosaur movie. My parents, of course, said: "NO, too adult"! One weekend my Dad was caring for me while my Mom worked. Long story short, we went to Auto Zone to get the car fixed, he told me it'd take an hour, over four hours later we were still sitting there in the waiting room.
After the car was finally repaired, he told me "Thank you so much for being so well-behaved while this took forever. Is there anything I can do to repay you?" I smiled and said "Jurassic Park". He then sighed and said: "Don't tell your mother."
This became my all-time favorite film as a kid. We actually went back to the movie theatre a week later, with my mom, who thoroughly enjoyed it herself! :)
That’s awesome, I was 6 when it came out and we saw it in the theater… I had the whole compound set of action figures. This movie will always be one of the greatest movies of all time
1987???
Whenever my two little daughters start fighting with each other, my “go to” line is “Quiet! All of you……they’re entering the Tyrannosaur paddock.” And my kids are too young to have seen this, so they just think daddy is weird.
I’m stealing this for when I babysit my little cousins.
That is actually hilarious. Lol. Wish I had kids :(
I got chased by 6 wild turkeys in a best western parking lot in northern california. And yes, I ran.
Hahahahahahaa
I got attacked by geese at a park while feeding them when I was 6. Yes, I ran. Lol
I never had a bird attack me, but on three different occasions they've shit on my head. I swore.
@@BlunderMunchkin My sister had a cockatoo that would attack me. I can't say I'm a fan of birds
@@BlunderMunchkin When I was going out with a bird sometimes we had arguments but she never did that
I remember when ads for this first came out, all they showed was the amber with the mosquito and extracting it’s blood, and then the title “JURASSIC PARK” - and that’s it. So when we all saw it for the first time, and it all went wrong, it scared the crap out of the audience. NO ONE was prepared for it. I think you can find footage of audiences watching it for the first time being shocked and screaming. Pretty awesome. I think the last time before this movie something like that happened was in Psycho when Norman Bates kills Janet Leigh in the shower. No one expected that either.
Saw it in the theater, and I legit pulled my feet up into the seat when the raptor jumps up as Lex is dangling from the ceiling.
I remember adverts showing the two glasses of water vibrating with the thump sounds, plus the bit where the cars drive through the gate with the big sign over the top.
This is the Jurassic park folks fell in love with...first of it's kind ....on the big screen....people were amazed...great reaction ..good work...
Had to be an amazing experience!
Great movie! The book was far more darker,almost every characters have negative traits and most of them dies. Stephen Spilberg decided to change the original story and made a family friendly movie😆 The tecnique utilized for dinosaurs close shot it's called animatronics,basically an animated robot

@@LiteWeightReacting it is excellent
So happy how much the first reveal of the first dinosaur with the Jurassic Park theme finally being played affected you. I believe too many reactors just talk through that part and don't take it in. It is one of my favorite music cues in all of movie history and gives me goosebumps to this day. Just an iconic scene.
The seatbelt gag is frequently cited as a metaphor for life finding a way. Two female ends on the belts, yet he makes it work.

@@Ryan_Christopher *Ties two male ends.
@@nonconsensualopinion You must be incredibly skinny
@@LiteWeightReacting I’ve also seen it speculated to be foreshadowing of the technical problems and safety issues they’ll face through the park in the rest of the film - they’re not even at the park yet and they’ve faced their first potentially dangerous malfunction on a ride.
The line about "they were so concerned if they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" is now true of AI.
Great reaction. Thanks.
Not just AI. They are now integrating fungus with AI because fungus makes the equivalent of a nervous system in the plant world so they torture the fungus with things it doesn't like (ie:light) and the fungus will send distress signals through its nervous system and those signals make the robots move in response. They're gonna FA and end up making fungus sentient and we're gonna end up with Skynet becoming The Last of Us
Welcome to Jurassic Park.
So good!
Michael Crichtons writing + John Williams + Spielberg + a bunch of super cool actors + unbelievable special effects for the time being + fkn 🦖🦕

@@LiteWeightReacting I'm glad you like JP :) It's my favorite movie! If you haven't already watched it, I recommend JW's Camp Cretaceous series (which, despite being more for kids, feels much more like a proper continuation of JP than the JW movies). Also, if you wanna learn about real dinos (including birds), I highly recommend Darren Naish's "Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved" (the best adult intro to the whole story of dinos) & "Dinopedia: A Brief Compendium of Dinosaur Lore" (the best adult guide to dinos & their cultural impact since the 1970s). P.S. To answer your questions/concerns:
-11:40: The reason JP used frog DNA for dinos is similar to why we used frogs for pregnancy tests (Google "A Brief History of Injecting Frogs with Urine").
-37:00: That fall could've broken or killed Tim had Grant not caught him, so of course he was scared to jump.
@@LiteWeightReacting are you pregnant ?
48:23 "clever girl" one line shows how much he alone respected the dinosaurs. He knew he was dead, but was still somehow impressed with how they got him.
When this came out I saw it 6 times in theaters as a kid, with different people almost every time. That's how epic it was. When CGI was new and blended beautifully with practical effects. Not completely depended on as it is now. I will never forget feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples...now that's chaos. One of the greatest cinematic experiences in history.
Had to be a mind blowing experience in the theater as a kid!
@@LiteWeightReacting Fun fact, the water ripples in the glasses were made by a guy hitting a single musical string right under the deck of the car... Spielberg wanted this way of showing the "ground shaking" effect of T-Rex's steps and they had tried a ton of ways without success but nothing worked until one of the special effects guys had the string idea and they went with that but Spielberg was hellbent on the water rippling effect and he wasn't backing down until they found the solution.
Another double fun fact which shows you why Steven Spielberg is the best director of all time... John Hammond said "By the end of the week I will be expecting your apologies" which is Steven Spielberg talking to Hollywood executives since they didn't believe in this movie AT ALL and he had to fight tooth and nail to get the money for it... and while he was filming Jurassic Park during weekdays, on the weekends he was filming "Schindler's List"... yes, the masterpiece that won a fuckton of awards was his "weekend project"... the man is in a league of his own...
That's why I always say "Spielberg is Spielberg and the rest are just the rest"... the only man to ever come close to him even though Spielberg is still superior is James Cameron in terms of creativity and visuals, nobody else but Cameron couldn't have made Schindler's List or Saving Private Ryan, so that's why Spielberg is just different...
@@LiteWeightReacting I recently watched it at my local theater, You'll have to keep your eye out but they do reshow these movies from time to time! The theater experience is second to none unless you have someone who's rich and has a home theater lol. The second movie is a lot more menacing than this, you'll love it! Movies these days are not as good because the different studios are micro-managing the directors and writers and even actors with committees that say we want this we want that, we dont want this. Older movies dont deserve remakes because of how good the originals were and because it's just a money grab operation and filled with propaganda/agendas. Love that you can see these differences! Can't wait for the next! I'm subbed!
Great reaction! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
Not a lot of people notice this, but for the entire movie Hammond keeps going "Oh we spared no expense, we spared no expense" but the main reason why Dennis decides to steal from them is because Hammond didn't pay him enough. lol
I can't put into words how it felt to see the scene where they first see the dinosaurs in theaters as a kid. It might sound absolutely stupid and cliché, but it was magical.
Same, i was one of those kids with the mail subscription that gave you a new dinasaur card and info pamphlet each month (and stickers). This came out and me and my sister lost our minds (parents too). Just amazing back then in theaters. It was indeed magical.
My 11th bday, was absolutely stunning 🙏
I’m surprised you never saw jurassic park before glad you catching up.
The special effects in this movie hold up absurdly well. This thing is like 32 years old, and the T-Rex scene in particular still looks better than 95% of the fake-looking CGI stuff that comes out today.
Crazy how well they hold up!
Awhile back, Corridor Digital did an analysis of the digital effects for this flick and were largely complimentary. There's techniques (and tools) that have been developed to address details that couldn't be handled with the tech of the time. And there's some wonderful mixes of practical and digital effects going on. But all in all... yeah... its just a stellar piece of work.
Speaking for myself, I got just as teary-eyed when the theme kicks in when they first see the Brachiosaurs out in the field the first time I watched it. Honestly I still get a little teary-eyed at that moment.
You have to imagine it's 1993, and you're seeing this in the theater, and you've never seen CGI that looked anything close to this real before. It was amazing.
I really can’t imagine! Had to be mind blowing!
Not to mention John Freaking Williams and the score. That man transports us to every possible location with his music. From the Olympics, to A Galaxy Far, Far away.
The CGI combined with that moving cello piece? Absolute perfection for it's time.
@@LiteWeightReacting I saw it in the cinema as a kid with my mother. It certainly left an impression. 😂😨 I read Crichton's books too. There are many pages where Crichton dives deep into Ian Malcolm's remarks about Chaos Theory. Fantastic reading, would recommend.
It was the first movie I saw at the cinema. Mum only took me coz it was about dinosaurs so she thought it would be like The Land Before Time but real life 😂
The original Michael Crichton book this film was based on was incredible. As you might expect there were quite a few differences in the film; Donald Gennaro was a much more badass and heroic character who survived to the end, his film counterpart was mashed together with a different character called Ed Regis, the coward that abandoned the kids and was later killed by the juvenile T-Rex (there were two in the book); Alan Grant had a bushy beard; the kids' roles were reversed in the film (book Tim was the older computer expert, book Lex was the younger, more obnoxious one); John Hammond was much less sympathetic and more of a ruthless villain, and died at the end after injuring his leg and being attacked by a swarm of procompsognathus (smaller, dog-sized dinos); Lewis Dodgson (the rival corpo who serves as Nedry's liaison) was also a more active villain who returned as the main antagonist of the Lost World book, but he didn't appear in the films again until Jurassic World Dominion in 2022.
What really made the book a pleasure to read was how Crichton made his passion for the scientific themes evident in how he presented and explain everything; he had a degree in medical science and was also an early proponent of programming and computers, but most of his professional life was spent writing. The way those scientific concepts are illustrated (textually and literally) in the book is really entertaining and engaging. Other movies based on Crichton's works include the sequel The Lost World, The Andromeda Strain and Congo. One thing I find quite funny about the book is how in the end, it's implied that the raptors have escaped into the wild and despite being coded to have a lysine deficiency, they are surviving by eating lysine-rich foods such as chicken, which reminds me of the apocalypse event in Vampire the Masquerade... "and the antediluvians shall awaken once again and devour their children".
I never read the book, it’s not surprising that the movie is very different from the book. Doesn’t Hammond die in the book, as well as Malcolm? And doesn’t the lawyer live?
My ABSOLUTE favourite film of all time! I've watched this at LEAST once a year since it was released and can still enjoy every single second of it! Then you John Williams' complete masterpiece of a score.. which is just otherworldly! 110/10
John Williams music is soooooo good!
YO WHAT?! Imagine my surprise/thrill that you are first time watching one my favorite films of all tme. JP did SO much for the evolution of practical effects supplemented with CGI. Such an iconic film and franchise. Looking forward to watching your reaction to this after I get home and, hopefully, the rest of the franchise down the road!

@@BryanMcdonough-gl9hma great tribute 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You hit the nail on the head. Most of the full-body shots of the dinos are CGI and the partial shots are practical. That's the reason the CGI still holds up after 30+ years. The eye never gets used to the CGI illusion.
This film was like magic when it first came out. Others in the comments have already elaborated on how groundbreaking the effects were for film in general, but it was truly an unforgettable experience for me as a teenager. So many memorable lines: "hold on to your butts", "clever girl", "they remember", "ah-ah-ahh you didn't say the magic word", "he left us he left us", "life uh finds a way"...I could go on.
This was one of those films I couldn't wait to show my children so that they could share in the magic, but I always got the impression they weren't impacted the same way. And that's probably in part (or whole) due to the ubiquity of CGI in the 21st century. Jurassic Park used CGI with finesse to make the unbelievable real.
And the score? Chef's kiss, John Williams is the master of film music.
Great reaction like always, What an epic movie love it. When I saw this in the theaters there was NO CONVINCING anyone that dinosaurs were not real. The CGI and effects were so beyond anyone’s imagination. It still holds up decades later.
The part where Dr. Grant sees the dinosaur for the first time always puts a lump in my throat. He's spent his entire life digging up their remains and from that, trying to determine how they lived, hunted, mated, everything. He's even talking to himself going over what he thought he always knew about them. Super powerful and well acted if you ask me!
Here's a fun fact that has been stuck in my head for 30 years.The iconic water cup was actually really difficult to create. They spent weeks trying to figure out how to get the perfect ripples. By accident it was discovered that placing the glass on a guitar and plucking the strings created the ripples, so they ran a guitar string from bottom of the glass to the bottom of the car and plucked it. Perfect ripples. One of those cool super simple solutions that just need someone to think of them. Keep up the good work.
Maybe the fastest I've clicked on a video. "No views 23 seconds ago". My absolute favorite reacter. I'm excited to rewatch this with you now, what a nostalgic lane we're gonna go down together.
Amazing!! Happy to have you here and I hope you enjoyed it!!
When you said that you loved all the “different iterations of the theme song,” I smiled with amusement at your unusual choice of words, because it inadvertently tied into the structure of the original novel as the body of Crichton’s Jurassic Park is divided into Iterations 1 through 5. Great reaction as always!
In the novel, Dr Sattler eventually figures out that the herbivorous dinos WERE being poisoned by the West Indian lilac, because they use gizzard stones to grind their food (as birds do), and when they vomited up the old stones and swallowed new sharp ones every 6 weeks or so, they were also inadvertently swallowing lilac berries. If they did shoot that resolution for the film version, they apparently cut it out for runtime.
They really did a lot of little things like that. Hell, in the novel Dennis never managed to turn off the Key Checks so they were able to see everything he did to the system and how. If I remember correctly, it was one of the few things he didn't have high enough clearance to interfere with.

the film lacks a lot of things the book did . the film also screwed around so many cahracters. in the book ellie sattler was a 23 yo student , not grant's love interest. nor was she big into the "roar, i'm female " kinda feminism she seems to be in the movie. i mena hell 1/4th of her dialouge in the movie is her saying some stupid feminist BS or the scene where she argues with hammond about being a girl . hammond was the greedy bastard , not the lawyer nor was the lawyer a coward that ran off and left the kids (that was the park's head of public realtions that did that). Grant loved kids in the book and was in his 50's. hammond on the other hand didn't want any thing to do with his grandkids , and only reluctantly took them in for the week end at the request of thier mom.
actually the more and more i think about it the more and more i disliked this movie over the years (i read the book a good year or two before the movie came out)
a lot of spielbergs changes were just trash cahnges meant to add some kind of drama to it , when the story itself had enough drama and it only made 2/3rds of teh cast unlikeable while making some of the worse characters of the novel redeemable (such as hammond who was a utter peice of human garbage in the book).
Such a classic film!...new ones can't even compare in my opinion. Glad you gave yourself the opportunity to dive in to these films, epic!
King Kong (2005) is another great adventure/creature movie, with both great action scenes and good drama!
Yes! Andy Serkis dominates the acting genre of motion capture, as Peter Jackson's Gollum (LOTR and The Hobbit) and King Kong, and as Cesar (new Planet of the Apes movies)
CGI is pretty bad in that one.
@@michaeljordan6008 It has some of the best cgi ever made even to this day...
@@dankeefer8859 just don’t watch Godzilla 1998, I use to like that movie. But listening and pondering over other people’s opinions, I’m starting to agree with them… it was just a poorly made sci-fi monster movie
Fun fact: the T-Rex in the movie is the T-Rex in Jurrasic world.
Really?!
@@LiteWeightReacting yes, the T-Rex in Jurrasic world is supposed to the same one from Jurassic park.
By the time dominion happens, rexy would/should be about 35yrs old.
Nedry mentioned 10yrs of research to dodgson. Assuming the dinos were being born around 5yrs in, which would also explain rexy and dilos curiosity more than aggression at first, cuz they were still young.
Just my theory.
@@LiteWeightReactingYep especially that you could see the scars on her face from her battle with the velociraptors. Plus her roaring is a bit different because Jurassic World takes place 20 years after Jurassic Park so you could tell that she’s much older which is why her roaring sounded different.
@@AnthonyLoza-d5zlook closely in jurassic world at the end you can actually see the battle scars of the trex that was also used in Jurassic Park.
Forgot to say before(just realized I'm re-watching this reaction): "Hold on to your butts" is something I heard before Jurassic Park. But I do suppose it popularized it somewhat.
This is the only movie that gives me true nostalgia.
Remembering sitting in the kitchen as a young boy with my mother watching this late at night in the mid 90s..
No other movie does that to me.
And I will always come back to it now and then to remember a time where everything in life was beautiful and simple.
Great react. Happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you!!!!
Girl I cry every time they see the dinosaurs for the first time. They just do such a great job showing how amazed they are by seeing them. And I love how emotional they are as well!
Jurassic park is one of the most important movies for hollywood movies animation progress through the years
I love watching your reactions! I also wish I could reverse time so I could experience this movie for the first time again.
Jurassic Park was the first time I experienced true awe in a theater. I was 8 years old, and I still vividly remember what it was like to see it on the big screen for the first time. It's a core memory and it sparked my love of film and filmmaking.
Everyone says it, but when the Brachiosaurus was revealed for the first time, it was mind-blowing. Nothing like that had ever looked that real before. It was completely convincing and felt like we were seeing an actual dinosaur for the first time and not just a movie monster with uncanny effects or a cartoon. Your reaction to that moment was beautiful. It still has that power!
The T. Rex attack stepped it up from there. That long shot of her coming through the fence is still one of my all-time favorite moments in film. The roar is iconic. Seeing it in 3D a few years ago was incredible. It was like watching for the first time all over again. I remember being in awe and terrified at the same time, all in the best ways.
This was also the first film score that I ever listened to after the movie was over. It's the reason I developed a love for orchestral music and film scores, and it even led to me becoming a musician.
The effects hold up so well, and it's mainly due to the way they were implemented. As groundbreaking as the CGI effects were then, they still had to come up with unique solutions and work within their limitations. But the single biggest reason the effects work so well is because of the camera work. Everything is shot from a human perspective. No crazy camera moves. No weird angles.
So glad you watched this! I say watch all three. They aren't up to par with Jurassic Park, but The Lost World is still a darker, fun story with a slightly different tone, and Jurassic Park III is solid with a few really memorable moments. Just adjust your expectations and enjoy the ride.
I worked at a movie theater when this was released, we loved sitting in the back, watching sold out show after sold out show, as audiences gasped in wonder, at the Brontosaurus scene! now doing it online! lol wow
Brachiosaurus actually. And I don’t know why but they renamed Brontosaurus into Apatosaurus.
Hi from the Netherlands. I think it is so nice to see that there are now people (younger people) who are watching this film for the first time. A film that is already 31 years old and how well it continues to do even in this day and age. If you consider that this film was so far ahead of its time in technology and filmmaking and was the founder of a new era of filmmaking. Considering that there is only 20% CGI in this film and the rest is all robot dinosaurs. When I went to see this film I was in the cinema for 11 years and what an experience that was and this is still one of my favorite films with a few other films around that time. I also saw this film again in 4k full HD on an IMAX screen in the cinema. Very cool. I also liked Jurraric world and what you just said 1 is the best. but they can't match this one still. It's nice that there is also a documentary about the making of this film.
Oh nah now I'm super jealous that you get to watch this one for the first time, this is one of my favorite movies of all time 🤘🔥 🦖
That’s awesome! Hope you enjoyed my reaction 😊
@@LiteWeightReacting oh I definitely did 😊🙌
I continue to be amazed by your ability to take these fantastic films and break them down into relatable points of shared experience or common sense and still make it fun and funny and emotional. Thanks again!
In case no one else has already explained, the significance of the way Grant ties his seatbelt in the helicopter is this: he only has 2 ‘female’ ends of the seatbelts, but he still “finds a way” to fasten his seatbelt. It’s foreshadowing the all female dinosaurs finding a way to reproduce.
Looking a bit too into it but ok
No.
@@clarkness77 If you've ever done film analysis, looking a bit too into it is kinda the point. I always interpreted it as foreshadowing the park being poorly designed.
@@clarkness77I don't think so bc otherwise what was the point of that scene?
This is a classic thing certain types of people do that i very much dislike. You've added that "foreshadowing" to add a reasoning that was never there. It was a mildly comedic moment showing his character. That's it. DO NOT make things up to try and add some ridiculous depth to every moment.
I'm just glad, that i found your channel, you really stand out from others with your empathy, intelligence and honest reactions. Came here because of a compilation of reactions, and you were the only one, who got my attention. If you missed all these great movies, maybe you also missed "True Lies", "5th Element", "Snatch" or "Pulp Fiction" (bit darker), just to see you smile more, but thats also catching to see, dramas how deeply got you, so i would also recommend "Fight Club", "Seven", "Casino" or "V for Vendetta". I could go on and on, but i just hope you the best, keep up the good work!
Spielberg had a amazing year in 1993 .
He crushed!!
I adore this movie, so so much. Everything about it - the soundtrack, the action, the discussion into ethics, the characters, the cinematography. It's absolutely magical. I still - after dozens of watches - get emotional, like you did, when they first arrive to the island.
I saw the movie with a live orchestra playing the soundtrack last year, and it's one of the greatest things ive ever experienced. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
This movie had me on the edge of my seat when I went to see it on opening day. Awesome reaction!!! 💕💕🙏
Historical note. Sam Neill did a screen test as James Bond, and it’s damn good. You should check it out. Brosnan got the role, of course, but fate arranged for Neill to get JP as a consolation prize. It all worked out perfectly.
Honestly, didn't notice the horn until you mentioned it.
Refering back to this movie a common statement around my gaming table is that T-Rex cannot see you unless you move. We are uncertain to whether the statement refers just to the creature or the English Rock Band as well.
So I did it to myself 🤣

Same here. i didn't notice anything until you pointed it out, and you can still barely see it even after you pointed it out
I was 14, 1994. Still grabs me in the feels in a way that, with John Williams' score backing the moment up and making it divinely perfect: yeah...I am that 14 year old watching the movie for the first time as a teenager every time. I remember having a friend who had a CD player, dubbed the soundtrack onto tape, played Song 1, 2, 4, 7, 15 so much that there was a literal line down the middle of the tape. Only album I ever saw that happen. I was 14 at the time. 44 now. Still feel like that little kid every time I hear the theme, Journey to the Island, and Welcome to Jurassic Park (#& on the soundtrack) every time feels just like THE first time.
Superb reaction as always. One of the best reaction channels on TH-cam as the reactions are always articulate and intelligent yet also fun. Keep up the great work.
Makes me sooooo happy to see this! Thanks for sharing!
'clever girl' to quote your outro. Thanks for the reply
That beautiful scene where they see the first dinosaur... I was there in the cinema on the day Jurassic Park opened, aged 7 with my dad. It was absolutely breathtaking. You have to realise, CGI wasn't as widespread as it is today and nobody had ever seen a dinosaur depicted that realistically before. As the film characters gawped in awe, we felt exactly the same. We'd never seen a movie like it. Along with John Williams' score that scene gave me insane goosebumps and a lifelong dinosaur obsession. I have seen this movie ten thousand times in the intervening years and it still brings a lump to my throat. What a movie.
“Life finds a way.”
I enjoyed watching this from my childhood and still do!
Such an awesome quote!
The score for this film still to this day makes me teary, and especially the moment when they (Drs. Grant and Satler) see the dinosaurs for the first time. Absolute magic, from top to bottom. Wonderful reaction!
Grew up on this film, Miss movies like these growing up!
Soooo good!
First time I saw this was in a theater in Seattle. We were visiting from Canada for the weekend. When we came out of the matinee showing the sky was dark from a spectacular thunderstorm. The whole situation was pretty terrifying. Thank you for sharing your reactions with us. 😊
Spielberg's talent for visually telling stories is unique. John Ford, Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Orson Welles...and him. One of the greatest directors in the history of cinema.
I would add James Cameron as well
@@davidward9737 And don't forget to add Ridley Scott into the mix as well. Those people redefined cinema in my opinion.
I was eight when this movie came out and saw it in the movie theater. It will always be an unforgettable experience. I loved it then and I love it now! I loved what you said about Disney board of directors greed - nailed it and BEAUTIFUL!
The movie theater experience at that time had to be otherworldly!!
The music of this series is beyond legendary and I’ll never get tired of hearing it! ❤❤❤🎼🎼🎼
So legendary!!
Gives me chills (in a good way) every time. Probably not alone on that one
9:00 it was emotional because up until this movie, we had never seen a dinosaur visualized on the screen in such a realistic way. It was emotional because imagine you were a paleontologist who only saw bones and now you saw the living breathing creature or being a kid who could only read about dinosaurs and now you see what amounts to a real life dinosaur on the screen. This movie definitely changed the scale for CGI and praise be to Steven Spielberg and Stan Winston for making this happen.
I remember watching Jurassic Park in theaters in the summer of 1993 😮 all of us experiencing the musical score and amazing realistic dinosaurs larger than life on the movie screen. It was magical being there for the birth of a classic film 😊
Great reaction! Normally I would say the first one is the best to start with, and going back to the beginning after watching 3 sequels with all their modern visual effects is going to be hard to do, but you treated it perfectly and suspended your disbelief. This first one really was the best. A true cinematic masterpiece and a classic. I was lucky enough to have watched in theaters when it came out, and then introduced my totally reluctant and skeptical aunt to it just last year (in 3D!) when they brought it back to theaters for 1 day. She absolutely LOVED it. So glad you did too.
The seatbelt scene in the beginning, to the best of my knowledge was just meant to be funny. It wasn't until later that people realized that it foreshadowed what was to come. He was using two female buckles, and found a way to make it work.
I was todays years old when I found out! :O
I think people are reaching a bit far on this one
@@joeberger3441 Maybe in the fact that they probably didn't mean it that way.... but it still works
You're absolutely correct. It wasn't intended to serve as foreshadowing when shot. It was just meant to highlight Alan's ineptitude and things not working around him - like the monitor earlier in the film that zaps out whenever he touches it.
@joeberger3441 It's two female buckles being combined... It's an extremely straightforward analogy for "life finding a way". Intentionally shot that way or not, and I find it hard to believe it was entirely a coincidence, it's absolutely not "reaching" to make that association.
You are one of the BEST reactors on TH-cam. You are insightful, observant, empathetic, intelligent... you draw connections, you catch symbolisms, you allow yourself to be moved by what you're watching, and you expertly toe the line of providing interesting commentary without talking over the movie. And even though all of that would totally be enough, as the cherry on top, you are very beautiful which adds an element of visual beauty to all of the other elements of excellent content that you provide. I am so glad I found your channel! Thanks for sharing with us ❤️
Wow! Thank you so much. Posts like this really make my day 😊 THANK YOU!
Yep, that was Newman from Seinfeld.
By the way, you look great, no matter what the lighting.
Well thank you!!
😒
I went to the 25th anniversary showing with a friend, and I legit cried, there's so much magic. Everything I love about this movie was so grandiose beyond reckoning on the big screen, which I'd previously seen on everything from our normal 27 inch (90s-00s) to portable DVD player on road trips to laptop, on and on. I really thought I'd seen the movie by that point, but it was such a different experience that I highly recommend going to a showing. Also I sent my dad a gif of the "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" moment on his birthday with the message-I found rare footage from your childhood!
Another fantastic choice for a reaction, I'm excited to watch!
Also I don't see anything, at least until you said something so we'll just pretend you didn't😂😉
🤣🤣
8:50 "Why'd that make me emotional!"
Great reaction, and that's why this movie is so loved. The build up, setting up how important that moment would be for these two characters especially, perfect acting, great visuals and the amazing score. Super rare to see all that come together in a movie.
The Lost World is definitely worth watching. 3 is kinda take it or leave it. Some people really like it. I'd still say 3 is better than any of the 3 newer ones.
ALAN
@@maelstrom57 🤣🤣🤣🤣
3 is better then 2 and I stand by it
3 is my favorite among the original trilogy
I grew up in the 90s so I had the fortune to see this film as a child and I've treasured the "Jurassic Park" franchise ever since. I watched all the movies, played a lot of the video games, read the novels by Michael Crichton (RIP), bought the toys as a kid, you name it.
I always assumed that the child actors in this used their salaries to pay for the ongoing therapy needed for the rest of their lives...
🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact. The kids were terified in the car, the glas wasnt supposed to break like that. And im 40 now from the Netherlands and next year I finally am able to go to Univeral to see JP/JW!!! IM stoked!!! And proud to share this with my kids.
Complete rubbish, they screamed in every take
Veel plezier!!
Still trips me out to realize Tim (Joseph Mazzello) grew up to be Eugene Sledge in The Pacific.
And John Deacon in _Bohemian Rhapsody_
His performance in The Pacific is stunning.
@@daddynitro199 yes it is!
I saw this multiple times in the theater and what I remember most isn't the CGI, but the surround sound. This was the first movie in DTS, if you were lucky enough to live near one of the few theaters that was equipped for it in 1993. I distinctly remember being in awe of hearing rain falling all around me and feeling the floor rumble whenever the T-rex roared. I was blown away. It's easily the most memorable theater experience that I've ever had.
This film definitely holds up and I think actually better than many newer films only one with greater effects to me is ALITA BAYTLE ANGEL
*BAETLE ANGEL
Seeing this in theaters as a teen was an experience. It still doesn’t get old to rewatch these films, and the graphics look pretty good on a big screen tv. I think the next two movies are def worth a watch.
I love when he says I have no food not realizing he IS the food lol
Yeah, whenever I watch the movie in private, I always like to comment, as if I am the dilophosaurus : "You're kidding me ! You have about 200 pounds of meat on you !"
I watched a video short a while ago where a guy tried to feed a bear by hand, and the bear grabbed his whole hand. (He was able to escape, thanks to friends)
People forget that they're food. 😂
Fun fact time: if you remember Jurassic World well, there is a segment where the two brothers came across some ruins. Those ruins are the main tourism center you just saw in this film. Basically, it meant a lot to Jurassic Park lovers who recognized the ruins. The island that Jurassic World and its sequel take place on is this island. Also, the T-rex in its first scenes is mostly practical. A few shots there were CGI. I think they mentioned in the behind the scenes that they constantly had trouble with rain affecting the T-rex mechs that were created for this film. I think I also heard somewhere that raptors were the humans of the dinosaur age. Hence their intelligence and capability for personality.
Jurassic Park is a childhood classic of mine. I'm glad you got to see it. As usual, I enjoy your laughter, and I even had a few chuckles myself at a few infamous lines/scenes. I personally think Jurassic Park: Lost World is also a good film. If you loved Ian Malcolm in this film, he gets to be one of the stars in the next one which is Lost World. Now, here's my Joe Joke for now: do you know what drivers dread most about the ancient alphabet?
The letter T, it wrecks (rex).
Not to say they wouldn't have bred predators anyway, but in the book the species they make in the park are pretty much random because they didn't know what dinosaur the DNA belonged to before they cloned it
You are DEFINITELY an awesome reactor. It's like I'm watching it for the first time. I'm glad you enjoyed this movie. That T-Rex scene, to this day, is still one of my favorite suspenseful shots in the visual effects world. 🙂
This was adapted from the Michael Crichton novel of the same name. After watching the next two, I recommend doing a rewatch of the Jurassic World trilogy, but I also recommend watching the short film and both Netflix animated shows. Steven Spielberg directed Schindler's List while this was being finished. The actor playing Tim also has a starring role in the HBO drama series The Pacific, while the actress playing his sister is also in Tremors and Tremors 3
Amazing film! I would definitely recommend checking out the rest of the trilogy though I honestly prefer the 3rd one more than Lost World!
Just remember it wouldn't be a thriller without the tension and the stress. Lol
Great point!!
I'm so glad I was 7 years old when the first one came out. It blew my mind, I had all the toys, it was my first adult reading level novel, etc. Jurassic mania was real!
I remember people leaving the auditorium after the showing and buying tickets for the next showing. It was wild!
Behind the scenes, this setup CGI techniques to be used for decades. But also, most of the dinos up close are animatronic and still look fantastic. The t tex got so heavy as it soaked up ALL the rain.
Seeing this in theaters when it came out was a surreal experience. Up to this point most of the dinosaurs on-screen that we had seen were stop-motion/claymation. If you examine the time-period, Carnosaur and Tammy and the T-Rex were the only other dinosaurs movies that released around this time and they were more reflective of the dinosaurs we had seen in film. Spielberg completely blew everyone away with this. I only wish you could hop in a time machine and feel the absolute wonder that seeing this in 1993 brought with it. Have a great day!
Jurassic Park is my favorite movie ever made! So happy to see you react to it. Its a big part of my life, and half my possessions are Jurassic Park themed.
Great watch! I love the first time reactions. Reminds me of my first time watching. You really won't go wrong watching the next two. They clearly don't hit like the OG but you will enjoy the Animals and their characteristics after all. If you let it, It will at least be entertaining. And then we get to see them again also!!!😊 Hope to see you soon.Thanks again...
If you ever play the Jurassic Evolution park Sim games, and get up to the T-rex, you can feed them goats, and zoom in to watch the kill animations. Sometimes they will literally toss the goats into the air and gulp them down in one bite. My kid loves watching them do that.
The practical and cgi special effects in this movie were amazing. Not only is this film a true classic but my favorite movie of all time!
You got to be kidding me! One of the greatest movies ever made! And you watched the awful Jurassic World first? 🤣 back in the day I was too young to watch it in the cinema but damn...when we got this on VHS I must have watched it 100 times. It turned me into one of these dinosaur kids of the 90s. 🥰 And I still love it so much! Always goosebumps on certain scenes. What a treat to see you react to this! Btw you look phenomenal. 😇
Edit: Definately watch all 3. 2nd is great, 3rd is okay but still ten times better than Jurassic World...
Would’ve loved to watch this in the 90’s!
That high-pitched excited squeek Newman makes might be my favorite movie moment ever 😂
Wassup Liteweight how are you today always enjoy your reactions keep up the amazing work my friend 😊😊😊
I’m doing great! How are you?!
@@LiteWeightReacting I'm good
I was 13 when this came out. I saw it in the theater 11 times… several back to back. We just stayed in the theater between showings.
To this day, I still shed a tear when they see that first dinosaur.
The CGI definitely still holds up. It's not perfect, but overall it still looks great. I think one of the major contributing factors is that they used it in moderation while mixing in practical effects and animatronics.
@@TheMadMurf the practical effects from 40 years ago hold better now than cgi from 20 years ago. Its a wild turn of events in my eyes
My theory is that it looks better when artists are advancing the state of the art. Meticulously inspecting and touching up each frame to make it look amazing. When it's just the "Jurassic Park Dino Plugin" that you throw at 10,000 foreign artists for a weekend to essentially reshoot the whole movie, it ends up looking like a low-quality previs storyboard.
I saw this in 3D when it was re-released in theaters a bunch of years ago. I have seen this movie so many times, but seeing it on the big screen in 3D was absolutely terrifying. Amazing movie!
The original novel is worth reading too, even after seeing the movie. It has more content, more characters, and the characterization of characters - especially Hammond - is entirely different in it. It also has different group of survivors.
I’ll have to read it for sure!!
One change from book to movie that I approved of. I seem to remember the girl had nothing to do in the story except get chased. In the book, the boy was both the dinosaur nerd and a computer nerd. (I've been both all my life 🙂). Here in the movie, they make her the computer nerd. I thought that was a wise change.
@@MightyDrakeC She was also a little girl in the book so she was there pretty much just to create tension as helpless character. Also in the book Ellie Sattler was much younger too, like barely out of her teens and played for more sex appeal. Her relationship with Grant was also different in the book, there was zero romantic tension between them, Grant just considered himself her mentor.
I'll never forget this movie. I lived in Bozeman Montana at the time it came out and had dinner plans and a date to go to the movie. However, I was working on a film in Butte Montana during the day, and on the way home I blew a tire on my truck. This was 1993, so long before cellphones, so I had to wait a long time for someone to come along on the road to help me get my tire to a gas station. Needless to say I missed dinner, but the girl and I still managed to make the movie which was incredible at the time!
