I want to thank eWaaGe for editing this video for us, so we had a movie reaction this week! I really appreciate his help so I could enjoy my vacation to the fullest this week
Not sure how Jeff Goldblum (Dr Malcolm) has got past you. A classic of his is "The Fly" a true classic SiFi Horror..... Love to see your reaction to the Special Effects 😉 (if you dare! )
the one movie to react at the current time is PREY the one movie the entire you tube is reacting in the last week
tip: produced by disney and is part of the predator series and it looks to be the very best of this series.
I'm glad you liked JP :) It's my favorite movie! Unfortunately, the sequel movies are very disappointing in comparison. That said, I highly recommend reacting to the "Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous" series on Netflix (& maybe "Jurassic World" from 2015). Also, let me know if you'd like any dino book recommendations. I like reading & reviewing dino books as a hobby. P.S. In reference to 22:38 & 29:12, the T. rex is patrolling her territory loudly so as to scare away intruders (like a male lion roaring when patrolling his territory). If she were hunting, she would've been quiet (E.g. When she kills the Gallimimus & the Velociraptor).
If the little Tim / Jimmy looks familar to you... its Eugene Sledge from The Pacific. He grow up a bit ;-)
@@Jargolf86 I mentioned that twice in the video :')
Even almost 30 years later, this film is ABSOLUTE magic.
it was so so sooo good
It stands still now
Yeah, next year it’ll be 30 years

@@nsasupporter7557 Time flies by, does it not? I saw Jurassic Park when it came out in movie theaters!
Watching this in the theater was a watershed moment. I had worked in computer animation at the time and this was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. My colleagues left the theater with the realization that nothing in movies or TV would ever be the same. The first reveal of the dinosaur, a long shot, full frame, still brings me back to that "holy shit what am I watching" moment.
The audience had the same stunned reaction as Dr. Grant!
Ya know, and I have to say, that music for the first shot of the brachiosaurus is just perfect. John Williams (especially considering his age/concept of dinosaurs) could've brought out the timpani and the full orchestra to give a bombastic introduction to the creatures of the park. Instead, he gave that treatment to the park doors/the island. But for the actual first creature, he gives us a long gracefully emotional string motif to convey how the characters struggle to even process what they're seeing. In disbelief they're forced to believe their own eyes, and it overcomes them. They're scientists and rationalists who are brought to their knees in childlike awe and wonder. The music makes this scene. The impact of the triceratops scene is very much the same cuz they finally get to touch the animal. Leave it to John Williams to give it the right touch and make it an iconic memorable experience for all of us.
"was a watershed moment" like watching some deepfakes that are so well done and thinking those guys saying the moon landing was faked might be onto something. lol

Best tagline ever. What a movie.
That look on your face when the camera turned, and you see that first dinosaur from the jeep? Yeah... that was EVERYONE in the theater in 1993... One can count on one hand the movies that were TRULY ground-breaking leaps forward in special effects in all of movie history - Jurassic Park was one of them.
Agreed. What are some other ones? I would think Star Wars, and The Matrix. Any others, which 3-5 movies would you say?
@@tfpp1 Terminator 2
Westworld (1973)? It had the first cgi ever used in a film. Le voyage dans la lune (1902) Some of the first special effects ever. Some are still in use. King Kong (1933). Stop motion at its finest. Heavenly Creatures (1994) and the Frighteners (1996) by Peter Jackson. The reason he was allowed to make Lord of the Rings.
The reason this stands up so well over time is that it isn't over reliant on CGI. They had a real giant animatronic T-Rex for that iconic fence scene. Spielberg takes the time to develop the characters and they're well acted. This all leads you caring what happens to them. It also doesn't hurt to have the genius John Williams music score. Both how the dionsaurs move and how the characters react seems very realistic. We aren't getting unbelievable super hero type stuff the defies physics.
Yes, yes the practical effects & animatronics are great, but shouldn't underestimate the quality of the CGI. The first brachiosaurus scene is full CGI & it looks more realistic than current movies, also the gallimimus scene & t-rex chasing jeep scene
@@iwrotethis9290 the CGI used in this JP was ground breaking for it's time and thanks to that dedication and care put into the scene they still hold up very well even by today's standards (obviously) it has aged ....but imo it has aged quite well compared to some early 2000's CGI we got hit with that was just cringe
There is also a very good video short that shows how Spielberg used great filmmaking skill to make the first movie so memorable. Why Jurassic Park is better than its sequels...
th-cam.com/video/BKALxKbjOaE/w-d-xo.html
@@brachiator1 Spielberg understand that movies is audio visual medium, so he tried so hard not just to make the dinos looks real, but also sounds real.
Every memorable dino's voice (Rex's roar, raptor's scream, brachio's howl, dilo etc) are established in the original movie that none of the sequels can matched
@@iwrotethis9290 Spielberg also makes sure to make the sounds meaningful to the characters in the film. They respond or react to the sounds, and even to the tremors of a dinosaur's foot stomps. Some directors try, but still don't understand whats important. Spielberg uses the audio and the visual to tell a story, not just to show a pretty picture on the screen.
Fun fact - Jurassic Park, Forest Gump, Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption were all out in movie theatres at the same time! The 90s was a great era for movies!
That's an insane lineup
How is that true? Jurassic Park's release date: June 11th 1993 - The Shawshank Redemption's release date: September 23rd 1994. Even if they rereleased JP the following year, that usually only lasted through the summer. Right?
@@FrancisXLordbecause you had to do copies of the film and that would take like forever. so some films stayed longer in some cinemas because their cinema didn't had access to the copies
Very few people recognize that Lex’s constant exclamation of “he left us” is the trauma from the fact that her father just left them. The comment at the beginning about Mr. Hammond‘s daughter getting a divorce, is so subtle that it’s easy to miss. The kids are obviously on the island to get them away from the court proceedings and to give their mom a break to deal with her own feelings. I think Dr. Grant seriously helped Lex regain some of the trust she had lost. He probably helped Timmy a lot too.
It’s subtle details like this that makes Spielberg films so awesome. He doesn’t just hand you everything on a silver platter.
That's the first time I've seen this mentioned. I never thought of it before but it makes perfect sense.
Nice. I've never noted that before. And I've seen this movie 4594939582 times 😂
The CGI holds up pretty well to this day, but it was something really unseen before when this movie came out. And they masterfully combined it with animatronics, the special effects in this one are really superb. My favourite part is the T-rex pupil changing size when the light shines on it. That really sells it to me and makes it look truly alive. The music is amazing as well, and the whole movie is done really well.
They threw in a lot of little animal behaviour touches that I loved, because it made the dinosaurs seem more real - like the way the T-Rex turns the jeep over and bites at it's 'guts', and the dominance/submission behaviour between the two raptors in the kitchen.
@@petersvillage7447 also the eyes of the raptor right before it is about to pounce them at the end
@@petersvillage7447 why did Nedry leave the raptor fences on
@@nsasupporter7557 Muldoon says its because even he knew better than to shut them down... but it's tempting to assume that it was because the film-makers wanted to make sure that the raptors didn't show up until the latter part of the film. I suppose it makes sense in that the raptors seem to be contained right near where the people are based...
before jurassic park there was nothing that came close..in any way, dinosaurs in films looked just as terrible as they did in 1993 (until Jurassic Park that year) as they did in 1933 in King Kong, no one was even using decent animatronics, it was puppets and stop-motion, projection type effects, I mean I wish people would go check out the dinosaur films of 1992 and 1993 and even the dinosaur tv shows made into the 2000's because it really tells you just how mind-blowing this film was to viewers, there were puppets for 60 years and then BOOM dinosaurs suddenly came to life
yeah the pupil really sells it, as well as seeing the foot push down into the mud, there's also breath, in the sequels I think they didn't even use breath, I think Spielberg really wanted to get the pupil right because in Jaws he couldn't, I mean the whole "black eyes roll over white" thing wasn't possible I guess, the music is what really helps Spielberg bring the magic, he owes John William's a lot
it's a shame animatronics isn't used like it once was, for close-ups the cgi just can't compare, you feel the creature in the shot with animatronics, heck they were using animatronics even in the Harry suit, his whole mouth is animatronic, practical effects also kept things grounded in physics, dinosaurs can look too squishy when only cgi is used
my only real gripe with the franchise is the lack of Triceratops and Sauropods, they really botched it with keeping those creatures out of the films, they could definitely hold their own around the theropods and did
I love everyone's reactions when they see the first CGI dinosaur in this movie, from 1993! Jurassic Park set a new standard in CGI tech that movies today follow in the footsteps.

That's kind of an understatement. JP basically introduced GCI to the movie industry as a whole. There were a few other movies with sparse CGI before it but there it was very specialized (water surface, molten metal, pure postprocessing effects etc.). Spielberg brought in a lot of experienced stop-motion-animation talent to work on the GCI who showed that naturalistic looking GCI on a large scale is feasible.
That being said, part of the reason it still holds up is that there isn't as much CGI as people assume. (only 4-5 minutes are full CGI dinos)
@@fnx427 yip ilm m8. watch documentary on story on disney plus about ilm ,vg . But you probably have already
I don't know for sure, but I'd bet the effects budget relative to the entire budget was much bigger than most CGI films today. CGI was much more expensive and there wasn't AI to help out so it was much more labor intensive even with the computers. When it's costing a lot, the risk of a bad director or screenplay selects for the best (vs, as today, selecting for anyone).
I saw this when they re-released it in theaters in 2013...in IMAX®3D. Probably the best movie experience of my life.
Jurassic Park is based on the novel by Michael Crichton, and I highly recommend it, as you'll find a lot of differences between the movie and the book, but both are extraordinary. I recommend reading the second novel, The Lost World, before watching the movie of the same name, mainly because I loved the book, but the movie was almost completely different, as Spielberg took the latter in a very different direction than the story from the novel, and the movie wasn't near as good. Glad you enjoyed the flick! Take care, be safe!
I believe, based on the success of the first film, that the options for The Lost World were bought before the book was even fully written. Instead of waiting for it to be finished, Spielberg just made his own movie.
Many scenes from jurassic park 3 are pulled direct from the original book as well.
I liked the book and movie of Jurassic Park almost equally. I preferred the book version of The Lost World far more than the movie. I was irritated that the Carnotaurus part of the book wasn’t in the movie. It was so damn TENSE!
I always wondered why Nedry didn’t turn off the raptor fences
@@nsasupporter7557 He had no reason to. The raptor pen was isolated. It wasn't in his way. His goal wasn't to kill people, he just wanted to get off the island and get paid.
Regarding the doors: With handles like those, dogs and cats can figure out how to open them (although pulling is harder than pushing), so it's not a stretch to think the raptors could too. Now, if they had been knobs, that'd be a different story! 🚪
Yep. Our dog opened the front door. No problem.
We had put the handle to vertical positions so he couldn't.
My brother once had a cat that understood doorknobs were involved with opening a door, but they were round knobs so nothing for her to grab on to. She was allowed outside and to ask to go out she would jump up on the back of an armchair by the door and paw at the handle.
We used to have a cat who watched and figured out how to break into rooms when we replaced the round door knobs with the flip-style;
then used his weight to push or claws to pull doors open enough to get in or out. Lil stinker...
Next, he figured out if he stood on hind legs and hook his claw into the screen and lean his weight he could go out to the backyard.
The other interesting things with animals is when our turtle watched his cat brother and started doing the same to go out back too.
Great reaction
Real raptors are thought to have been only as smart as chickens. Both Crichton and Speilberg go out of their way to overcome the way people used to think of dinos, as sluggish incredibly stupid giant lizards - we were taught in the 1950's that some dinos had a second brain near their tail (not true) since their first one was so small. There used to be the joke of the dinosaur alarm clock - it would bite its tail and it would take so long for the nerve impulse to reach its brain and register the pain, the dino could catch a few hours of sleep (also totally wrong).
But also raptors wrists didn't rotate and their hands were held 90 degrees to the way their were in the movie - it is said they were slappers, not clappers or that they couldn't shake your hand but could wave goodbye.
So the current thinking is that they could NOT open doors because of how smart they weren't and how their wrists moved
@@johnnehrich9601 1) Interesting thought on the chicken raptors -- but, of course, in the fictional world of Jurassic Park, they're plenty smart. 2) I don't see how the wrist anatomy has any impact. As long as I was pushing the door rather than trying to pull it, I could open one with those lever-type handles even if I had no hands (just arm stubs).
Spielberg initially planned to do some of the dino effects with stop-motion miniatures, Ray Harryhausen style. But once he saw what Lucas and ILM could do, he went that direction instead. Jumping back and forth between million-dollar robots and CGI (such as in the kitchen raptor scene) meant that the viewer's brain was searching for "how did they do that" but couldn't lock onto a firm answer.
All the lead actors have extensive catalogs. Keep watching older stuff, you'll see them again.
They also had the stop animators on board for the CGI. Thry had a careers worth of knowledge on how things move to tap into
Correction, Spielberg had green light on going all stop-motion. 100%. That chanced though, as we know.
I was 5 years old when my parents took us to see this in the theatres... it blew everyone's mind, at the time, and still looks great to this day. What a classic and some of John Williams' best work.
5 YEARS OLD!?!!! oh bless u I would've been terrified
@@Centane my parents bought the movie and the whole family watched it I was like 5 ish and by brother was 3 ish and the whole time I watched it through my fingers but brother loved it and wasn't scared at all. Now I'm 34 and I've still have a reoccurring nightmare about dinosaurs every once in awhile. But this movie is so amazing and still holds up 29 years later lol
I was 6 in theaters. Dolby THX.. oh man this scared me soo much. I was basically under my seat. though I was still blown away and am still fascinated by dinos to this day.
I read the book three times before the movie came out, and five times after. But I didn’t see the movie until later. The first time I saw any footage was at the mall, where a big screen (CRT) tv was showing on repeat (a technology peculiar to dvd players, of which I was unaware before that) the scene of Malcolm in the jeep with the glasses of water and the others run to jump into the jeep just before the T-Rex emerges from the jungle. It was playing, unattended, in a dark alcove with two easy chairs and the big-screen tv. I watched the scene twenty times.
They used mainly physical dinosaur models alongside the cgi. That's why it looks so much better than other newer films.
Yep, Tim is played by Joseph Mazzello, who also played Eugene Sledge in "The Pacific". He was actually a fairly well-known child actor for a few years in the early-mid 90's. A couple of his other movies from that time are "Radio Flyer" and "The Cure".
I think he was in Simon Birch too
@@kjek1 Indeed he was.
I feel like the CG holds up so well because there really isn’t much of it. There’s a handful of major shots of the full sized T Rex running, some of the far away Brachiosaurs, and the occasional Velociraptor, but most of the close up effects are on set animatronic puppets. The Dilophosaur that spits on and eats Nedry is entirely a puppet, the sick Triceratops is too, so are a lot of the T Rex shots attacking the Jeep. The CG is there, but it’s used as the glue to hold together a lot of practical effects work that just isn’t done very often today, for better or worse.
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 7 and loved it. Never really thought of it as scary or horror, more a thriller action movie than anything, and it remains my favorite of the Jurassic movies. I like the sequel, Lost World, more than most people, but it is a strange follow up. Also, if you don’t know much about dinosaurs, Jurassic is the name of the middle period of the Mesozoic era they were dominant in, the three periods being Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. Ironically, a lot of dino species in this story come from the Cretaceous (tyrannosaur, velociraptor, triceratops), but I suspect that’s a harder word to pronounce.
I've seen this film dozens of times, and the scene where Dr. Grant first sees the dinosaur ALWAYS makes me tear up. So beautifully acted by all the characters, the score, and the outstanding cinematography combine to perfection.
I think one of the crucial things that sets this movie apart from all the others is that the main characters are scientists, so you get infected with their giddy curiosity.
14:32 I "love" how the last JP movie literally does this and everybody claps at the end... it's not the CGI that were better in 1993, it's the writing.
The new writers enjoy the rape of the natural world I guess...
Yes, our jaws dropped too in 1993. The combination of music , cinematography, state of the art ILM visuals, and first class acting, still brings a smile to my face whenever I watch this eminently rewatchable movie. Younger audiences (post gen X) are accustomed to photo realistic CG today, but for a generation, in 1993, nothing like this had been experienced before. I saw it first time in a THX movie theater, and that T-Rex scene sent hearts racing!
My #1 favorite movie of all time!
Before Spielberg took the reins and made the movie, Richard Donner, James Cameron, Tim Burton and Joe Dante were considered.
Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Costner, William Hurt, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, Sam Shepard, Pierce Brosnan, Nick Nolte, Tom Selleck, Kurt Russell, Jeff Bridges, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Biehn, Dylan McDermott, and Tom Sizemore were considered for Alan Grant.
Kelly McGillis, Julia Roberts, Linda Hamilton, Bridget Fonda, Jodie Foster, Nicole Kidman, Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields, Kyra Sedgwick, Uma Thurman, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Geena Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan, Juliette Lewis, Helen Hunt, Genevieve Bujold, Christina Applegate, Sarah Jessica Parker, Joan Cusack, Debra Winger, Teri Hatcher, Elizabeth Hurley, Juliette Binoche, Sandra Bullock, Sherilyn Fenn, Heather Graham, Lisa Rinna, Renee Zellweger, Kim Raver, Mariska Hargitay, and Kim Basinger were considered for Ellie Satler.
Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Bruce Campbell, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson, Michael J Fox, and Bill Paxton were considered for Ian Malcolm.
Sean Connery, Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Ian Bannen, and Clint Eastwood were considered for John Hammond.
Brian Cox, Geoffrey Rush, Bob Hoskins, and Jeffrey Jones were considered for Robert Muldoon.
The film was a box office and critical success making $1 billion dollars ($1.8 billion dollars today) against a $65 million dollar budget.
It won Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing.
It's now considered to be one of the best Sci-fi movies ever made.
If they’d used Uma Thurman, this movie would always be paired with pulp fiction to contrast SLJ and UT in both movies.
Definitely one of the best movies in existence.
I saw it over 100 times in the theater as a kid. I practically lived at the theater that year. It blew my mind, and it's still the ultimate nostalgia pull on me. Wish I could go back and experience it for the first time again.
You gotta watch the rest! The Lost World! JP3! Jurassic World! Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom!
9:05 "Welcome, to Jurassic Park" that line to this day still gives me goosebumps, Richard Attenborough is so good in this 😎
34:47 was the first day shooting on set and they did that to Tim lol
36:26 "Clever Girl" still one of the best lines of the movie RIP Bob Peck 🙏
36:58 that shot of Lex with the Jello is iconic, the actress Ariana Richards started painting and you can actually buy a painting of that shot from her it's really cool. I also heard that the 3 main cast members Laura Dern, Sam Neil and Jeff Goldblum each got one of the full size 6 foot tall animatronic Raptors as wrapping gifts from Steven Spielberg lol
the skins rotted away after only a few years...but the machines would still be cool.
This was mind blowing back in 93. The rex still terrifies me, that roar is iconic.
Jurassic Park Amazing movie 🤩 remember that Awsome restroom scene where the really mean old greedy lawyer guy selfishly abbonond those poor kids! He's just trying to save himself but Rexy 🦖 She found him anyway lol bite him up and Shaking him around like a fun Dogy chew toy before Eating him up it was actually kinda funny looking wouldn't you Agree?
38:25 I have watched this movie so many times and I laugh every time when I see Lex charging forward, eyes closed and screaming XD
First movie I watched in a THX theater. What an exciting summer. Had just moved to the U.S. on my green card. Eager to enjoy all the cool current movie tech of the time, vs waiting forever for them to ge released in my home country, which still had old mono- or stereo-only sound systems.
This was the most media hyped movie ever when it came out and the merchandizing was insane - McDonalds alone had only Jurassic Park themed happy meals and even burgers for a year. So, expectations going in were pretty high. It was the best looking movie ever made at the time and like most people I was blown away by the effects but it was also a good movie which was a pleasant surprise.
I remember this. The logo was absolutely everywhere, especially in McDonalds
Lex did NOTHING WRONG here she is a preteen on an island with dinosaurs we can’t blame her for her reactions she knows nothing of dinosaur behavior her brother does. She saw the one adult in their car leave her and her brother to fend for themselves she did what came natural to anybody in that situation who knows nothing of dinosaurs. Lex is a badazz cuz of her her brother lives cuz if she didn’t distract the velociraptors the would have eaten Tim. She is one badazz female character that gets overlooked imo
YES! Thank you, I love Lex and Ariana Richards is amazing in this movie, I just wish she was in more of the other one's. I think a big reason she got casted was because of that iconic scream she did with the T-rex, it's so good lol
She had a thing for monsters, she also has a small part in 'Tremors', as the little girl on the pogo stick (another great monster movie btw)
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
This is the only Jurassic Park movie worth watching IMO
I quite like the third one tbh.
I like Jurassic World a lot but the others are not as good for me.
I mean the whole reason to watch reactions is to see people form their own opinions right? I say we let her progress through the whole series and make up her own mind.
I remember vividly seeing this in the theater when I was a young kid, and it completely dominated my childhood. It was the Harry Potter, Star Wars or Lord of the Rings of the early 90s, it was huge in a way that changed cinema forever. My family went to see it like 5 times and I think I owned every toy at one point. Its great seeing young people enjoy it for the first time because its very much a generational classic.
The CGI looks so good because it was used only in limited scenes and for those scenes they had the time (and funds) to put real care into it.
Sadly it has become an industry where time is money and money rules... hollywood doesn't take risks any more. (or VERY rarely, which is not good, because risk only sometimes pays)
Probably my favorite movie of all time. I had it on VHS when I was a kid and watched it countless of times.
movies: Dracula,1992 Bram Stoker's, Interview with a Vampire (Leonard Dicaprio),Braveheart (Mel Gbson) Apocalypto (Diret. Mel Gbson) Ghost {Demi More),End of Days (Arnold Schwarzenegger)/ Haylaender (Christopher Lambert)
I was 14 when this came out and watching it in the theater was incredible! The sound, the acting, the practical effects, and then the groundbreaking CGI is definitely why I ended up with a career in science. Blew my mind when I first saw it, and doesn't disappoint nearly 30 years later.
I was 11 and still it's the best cinema experience i ever had. Few weeks after watching it my parents bought me Crichton's book. To this day this book is with me. Thank you, Steven Spielberg and Michael Crichton for this amazing adventure.
24:48 when my BF tries to steal the food off of my plate...
41:14 ....."This movie is over 30 years old, and I believe it has better CGI that most movies made today".... actually, no it doesn't.... CGI stands for Computer Generated Image, and although "Jurassic Park" had complete CGI characters, for some parts, they used animatronic puppets enhanced with CGI for the majority of the shots..... For example, the first time we see the T-rex full body, that's CGI, but when the same rex atacs Lexie and Timmy in the car, that's a T-rex's animatronic head attached to a crane.... The reason of doing this is because back then the technology only allows to do a little, and therefore, if they go with full CGI dinosaurs for the movie, they will look awful....
Now, the reason why you think this looks better than modern movies, is that the use of CGI is more common, and also cheaper, therefore you don't have to spend 25.000$ (kinda) in building up a T-rex's head, when you can have the whole T-rex (dancing if you want) for 10.000$..... The problem with this is that the more you use the CGi characters, the easier is for the human eye to catch it.... That's why movies like "Jurassic Park" or "Terminator 2" rely more in animatronics enhanced by CGI than full CGI characters......
Late to the party... I saw this opening weekend in 1993, when I was only 11 years old.
This was my Star Wars moment.
Somehow my dad got hold of 4 tickets.
Me, my sister, my best friend, and my sister's best friend (our besties were also brother and sister)... just the four of us, all kids, alone at the opening weekend of Jurassic Park.
Dad gave us all a £10 note each (in those days, popcorn didn't cost a small mortgage), and we played a few arcade machines, then bought our popcorn and drinks and headed to the lobby.
I can still remember being in that lobby, with the JP music on repeat, the trailer also on repeat. The smell of the popcorn, the fact that the entire 25 screen cinema was showing nothing but JP in a staggered schedule... and the place was packed from wall to wall.
No weekend has ever matched the magic of that weekend.
Only about five minutes of the movie is actual CGI.. The rest are animatronic robots they built , Even the t Rex was built..They use animatronic in pretty much every movie.. Less so with the newer ones..the Making and behind-the-scenes is even more interesting to watch.. As for the movie being that old it was like yesterday I saw this when I was around 18 19 years old Literally like yesterday the only way to explain it is when you live it yourself you'll realize that time goes very fast..Do what you need to be happy in life Because it truly does move extremely fast ,, that's the main advice I'd give to the younger crowd The crazy thing is I used to hear this from older people too i never took it serious, But yeah it's pretty crazy ..How it comes around I'm sure you'll give similar advice to younger people when you're older too.. Anyway watch the rest of the franchise you will enjoy it...The making of it all is pretty interesting too they have it on TH-cam somewhere..
I saw this movie for the first time when I was seven, at a drive-in theater (don't know if they have that where you're at, but it's an outdoor theater where you watch the movie from your car). The first time I felt genuine terror in my life was when I was in my parents' car, watching the T-Rex towering over the JP vehicles as it emerged from its paddock.
I totally enjoyed your reaction to the movie. At the time, I took part in the franchise, but I was way too young to see the movie in cinema. Instead I read the book and comics and got a complete toy Jurassic Park for Christmas 1993. I was 6 years old at the time and everyone in elementary school knew about the movie. Marketing made a huge hype out of it at the time, a lot of merchandising, action figures of nearly all characters in the movie, including Arnold and Dennis Nedry. While playing, I combined Jurassic Park with action figures from other series, like Captain Planet or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (especially the latter would have made a kinda interesting spin-off:D).
It would've been a blast to see this movie on the big screen. I think this would be the whole experience. It's not made for TV, but for cinema. I actually never saw this movie on the big screen, but maybe I will someday.
Thanks for reacting to this great classic:).
T-Rex sight was not base on movement. If you stood still in front of a T-Rex you would be eaten. A T-rex had sight about 100 times better than a hawk and could smell up to 5 miles. Velociraptor's were about the size of a Turkey and as in all Dinosaurs were covered in feathers. But hey, Hollywood, still a great film
41:09 -- "this movie is over thirty years old ..." Advanced mathematics would rather indicate that a 1993 movie is 29 years old in 2022.
Not going to lie: I may be in the minority but I wanted Muldoon to survive. People say he acted stupidly and that’s what got him killed. He knew pack behavior and sacrificed himself to lure them away from Ellie, probably knowing full well he wasn’t going to make it.
People don’t always say what they mean, especially since Muldoon said “I got her”. By that he meant he had The Big One’s attention; and one would be forgiven if they thought Muldoon was going to hunt the raptors. But the raptors were never in the wild till close to the end, they were always contained.
Re: the raptors' intelligence. Seems like, these days, every bit of research we're doing is telling us that animals are a hell of a lot smarter than we ever gave them credit for being, and even smarter than we thought possible. Certain crows can not only use tools, but can also design, craft, and utilize unique ones to solve problems they've never before encountered. Goldfish can do arithmetic. Chimps seem to be better at eliminating extraneous information than human children. Orcas are terrifyingly intelligent, organized, and social, moreso than many human adults. Even plants are proving to have capabilities akin to intelligence way beyond anything we ever imagined.
The more we look, the less unique we realize ourselves to be. The only thing that really seems to separate humans from the rest of life is our innate and burning desire to teach.
It is "nerve-wracking", though "nerve-racking" is the previous spelling. "Wrack" is a somewhat-archaic verb related to "'wreck", and "rack" mostly refers to the brutal torture method. "Nerve-wrecking" would hold pretty much the same meaning, but because English hates nothing so much as "logic" and "consistent rules", it isn't the known phrase.
Joseph Mazzello (Actor of Eugene Sledge & Tim Murphy) 🤝 Getting stuck in a living hell, in a tropical climate.
Jeff Goldblum character is so annoying, an arrogant know it all with his useless philosophical bs trying to say the park didn't work because they were doing something "evil". This park only turned into a disaster because it had very inadequate security and was sabotaged by a single guy who unrealistically controls everything, NOT because "nature finds a way". Period. I don't care how intelligent the dinos are, if they find a way to reproduce or "nature finds a way" BS. In a real world with real competent engineers and security they would still be contained in their habitats and the park would be a success doesn't matter how much Jeff Goldblum whines about it.
It wasn't only fantastic CGI (and animatronics), but it was the first time dinosaurs had been depicted reasonably accurately on screen. Because they lived 65+ million years ago, and because they're reptiles, it was assumed for many years that they were cold-blooded, slow and dumb. The idea that dinosaurs were warm-blooded and smart - essentially birds without wings - was only just starting to be widely accepted by the scientific community when this movie was made, so it was cutting edge in terms of science as well as CGI. The movie was in theatres the summer directly before I went to university to study zoology. I went to see it 3 times (you almost certainly can still find a theatre showing it somewhere, and it's definitely worth it), and added geology and paleontology to my first year studies specifically because of this movie.
Yes, if you find books written before 1993 (or movies) you'll see they thought dinosaurs DRAGGED THEIR TAIL on the GROUND, and were slow and dumb. Instead, you see the tail up high, like a road runner, blue jay, or crow, and they are quick, with darting motions and problem-solving intelligence.
i once dated a girl with a parrot, and if you didnt actually padlock it's cage, it could figure out any kind of jury-rigging on the latch and escape. We wake up routinely, with the parrot on the breakfast table or perched on the back of a kitchen chair.
Pretty accurate based on what we knew at the time. We now know that raptors and probably most other theropods had some form of feathers. But I don't think audiences want to see a T-Rex with fuzzy feathers. Also, that would been really hard to properly animate at the time. Heck, it would have been hard to animate 10 years later
@@ronmaximilian6953 The year before this movie's release I read a book called 'The Dinosaur Heresies' by Bob Bakker, written in 1987 I believe. He laid out the case for warm-blooded dinosaurs which, as the book title suggests, was still heresy even then. Bob Bakker is actually caricatured in Jurassic Park III - he's the big bearded scientist wearing a cowboy hat.
I remember in the book (I lost it many years ago) there were descriptions or even drawings of how dinosaurs used to be depicted, e.g. the big herbivores with their knees sticking out sideways and belly close to the ground, like a crocodile, even though that posture didn't fit the bone structure. Later that was changed so the legs were underneath, but it was concluded they must have lived in swamps 100% of the time because they couldn't support their own bodyweight. The first shot in JP of the brachiosaurus walking on land, and rearing up on its hind legs to take a high branch was completely contrary to that dogma, and probably enraged a lot of still active paleontologists at the time.
All this because many scientists felt they had to protect the notion of progress in evolution - animals that died out 65 million years ago couldn't be highly advanced and well-adapted because that would mean they broke the linear chain of steady improvement in adaptations. It was the realization that evolutionary history is like a bush with many branches, that didn't all advance at the same rate or in the same time period, that convinced scientists they no longer needed to protect this dogma to avoid attacks from creationists.
You should read the book it’s terrifying. Nothing like the movie. Ned and the dilophosaurus was the scariest part in the book in my opinion.
Great video, welcome back from Espana ~~ Sorry about the pancakes .. ..
This has just the right balance of CGI and practical effects. When it came out the dinosaurs were mind-blowing as before all we had was stop motion and claymation. I still jump when the Velociraptor tries to grab Lex's leg when she almost falls from the ceiling partition. The late Richard Attenborough is famous for many movies foremost the 1966 Sand Pebbles as an actor as well as for producing and directing Gandhi (1982). Laura Dern's performance in October Sky (1999) made a tear or two. Sam Neill in The Hunt for Red October (1990) was also fantastic and tragic.
"Many movies in this one actually."
Nah just the one if you ask me. Well, JP2 was pretty good...
Love watching somebody see one of the true classic movie experiences for the first time, although on a giant screen with big, shaking sound would be more appropriate!
Better CGI, ouch. The visual effects artists on Jurassic Park were artisans, including the CG ones. Every effects shot was crafted to work correctly with whatever visual effects they were going to use. And the golden rule at the time was only use CGI when you really have to. The dinosaur model effects shots really help sell that the dinosaurs are really there. Which goes to show, most of how good effects are relies on how good the artists are, how well they work together and how much attention to detail they are afforded the time to give their shots. Not necessarily the age of the tech they are using.
Welcome to Jaws on land! 😂 Most movies made today are rushed in production just to take your money. Speilburg doesn't rush anything. Most older movies are light years ahead in quality. I loved the blank stare on your face everytime a dinosaur appeared on screen!
Fear The T-Rex! Velocoraptors are terrifying too! I saw this movie in theatre. As a teen. There was a lot of chatter amongst the young children. When the T-Rex roars for the first time, all quiet. You could hear a pin drop. Good movie memory.
'This reminds me of alien'
Thats basically the premise of carnosaur, a low budget dinosaur movie also from 1993
I remember watching this on a VHS tape as a kid SOO many times!
I got to see this movie in IMAX for it's 20th anniversary and it was one of the greatest cinema experiences of my life, even though I'd already seen it at least 10 times before that at home - definitely keep an eye out for a cinema screening you can catch, I imagine there might be some showings at independent cinemas for the 30th anniversary, because this movie just hits different on a cinema screen. Jurassic Park is probably the first film I ever fell in love with, I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid and my dad first showed it to me when I was about 6 or 7. One of my absolute favourites of all time.
'The Hunt For Red October' is a classic that has Sam Neill along with Sean Connery.
You should read the book, its a VERY good one. Explain a lot more, expecially on Chaos Mathematics.
When I first watched this movie, I only knew Jeff Goldblum I think its been so long and I was 10 then.
If you notice in the beginning inside the helicopter Dr. Grant only had the 2 'female' ends of the buckle, but he ends up finding a way to make them work after all; Just like how the dinosaurs were able to find a way to breed despite all being female. It's a minor but fun little detail they threw in.
The scene at 23:49 is an example why the movie holds up so well visually. The viewer doesn't notice the transition from the animatronic T-Rex to the CGI one.
There were more practical effects but yeah the cgi well not a lot of color for these dinos still holds up pretty well for its time. This movie gave me nightmares as a kid in the 90's. It's more of uh, uh... A monster movie then a horror movie.
Your fans were correct to vote in JP. Your face was the same as ours the first time we seen the Brachiasaur. It's purely a movie of wonderment, brilliantly directed and a score that is John Williams best.
It was cool how the expression on your face at the first sight of the dinosaurs was the same as the expressions on Alan and Ellie's faces. Appropriately, John Hammond was played by Richard Attenborough who was the brother of the famous wildlife documentary film maker, David Attenborough. Richard was an award-winning film director himself, directing a film about Gandhi (titled 'Gandhi') in 1982 that featured a young Daniel Day-Lewis in his first film role.
Ok, i agree, she's quite the catch but that's my cue to pull out a flask, walk away and say "that catch is for some other fisherman's plate. Got enough on mine"
This was the era where cg is used sparingly to complement the mostly practical effects. The cg today is of course so advanced, but directors need to pull back a bit
The special effects, like in Lord of the Rings are the right combination between CGI and Animatronics. The T-Rex, up close is a 6 tons remote controlled robot !
Our knowledge of dinos progressed a lot since that movie, we now know that they weren't bare skinned but had protofeathers, probably with colors like birds. No Dino DNA could ever be recovered beause it degrades way too fast for it to be retrievable, so the closest we could get to creating an actual Jurassic Park is to make a virtual reality one, updated regularly with latest validated discoveries. And that's good not to have real dinos, the movie showed you it would fail spectacularly.
The sequels are a mixed bag for me, but one of the things they did right was explaining how the engineered organisms they made aren't "real" dinosaurs because they filled in the DNA gaps based on guesswork and their own goals.
Pretty sure that it's currently still believed by some paleontologists that not all dinosaurs had feathers, including T rex.
Theropod dinosaurs had some form of feathers. Or many of them did.
Birds are essentially an extant clade of theropods. We just don't call them dinosaurs.
Personally, It makes the chicken I'm eating better.
They used CGI coupled with practical effects which is clearly a better way of doing things.
And the book is still much better. And I totally would've let those kids go extinct. Even more annoyed with them now.
My favorite movie as a kid. Action, adventure and horror!!! Not like actual movies made for 11yo.
One of my favorite movies ever since my childhood 🧡 and it's spectacular how well they made the dinosaurs back in the 90s, T-Rex still looks so good. I think the theme song by John Williams is also the most beautiful ^_^. I loved the reaction and hopefully you will watch all the movies in the franchise 😊!
¿Eres dominicana? Ya decía yo que eras latina pero no sabía de donde. Te felicito por tus videos. ¡Me encantan! ¿Tienes algunos en español? Un abrazo.
Hello. You can also watch the second. As far as I'm concerned; I don't like the third film.
This franchise was amazing 😂 I haven't seen a lot of the new jarasic park movies that came out over the last couple of years
Seeing this on the big screen when it first came out was a fantastic movie-going experience and it's still so much better than the stupid new films with Chris Pratt.
As a kid keeping a flashlight near by might have been Lex's go to when dealing with monsters but yeah not very smart
Herbivores sounds like URB-eh-vores in American English
I am writing this to help out Centane and this video and this channel with the algorithm ✌️❤️😚☺️
Not surprised it wasn't picked up on, but Samuel Jackson was in this movie.
42:10 we were thinking “Holy S**T! How the F**K did they do that?”
Great videos
When this movie came out, I was 5 years old, but I remember perfectly that the merchandise around this film was crazy.... Anywhere you look at, there were T-shirts, cereals, toys, snacks, candies, house slippers, videogames.... We had dinosaurs even in the soup.... (Like, literally, it was soup with dinosaur shaped pasta.... that one taste awful).....
This was the first movie where they superimposed someone’s face on another’s body. When Lex fell through the ceiling that was her stunt double. When she looked up, lex’s face.
My favorite reactor! So much good commentary and great thought processes. Today's a good day :)
She may be the best.90% of the rest OVEREACT and talk over the dialog. Her face tells it all
Thank you, I'm waiting for the jurassic park 2 & 3 !!! ?
First movie my parents ever took me to see. I don't really remember it since I was only about 4 but both my parents tell me that I loved it and wanted nothing but dinosaurs. My dad says my mouth dropped to the floor and I turned super white when the T-rex showed up the first time. Still one of my favorites today.
8:09 This is my favourite moment in any JP first-time reaction. That exact face, that exact reaction. It doesn't *look* like it's 1993 CGI at all, and combined with the music and the directing it just hits a wonderful spot for awe and beauty.
A Michael Crichton story. His first book into movie also good, Congo!
"Yell at Tim, maybe he can get it" *duh face*
Lol I admit I never thought of that one! Haha take a like
Nature did not select dinosaurs for extinction. The asteroid that caused the extinction event was not nature in the sense he meant.
Fun fact: mr Arnold was supposed to get a chase scene with the raptors but the set got destroyed by a actual storm so he died offscreen
I wish you would watch Secondhand Lions and Dances With Wolves.
My question would be why are herbivores plant eaters good and yet carnivores are bad? Carnivores are an essential part of the ecosystem and if they didn’t exist the majority of species in the world would go extinct so I don’t understand why carnivores are bad?
Because they try to eat you.
They're good and bad from the perspective of a potential prey animal.
@@Nloveru LOL they're just following mother nature's design.
Man i wish they still made films like this... i miss the simpler times, before 'smart' phones.
Worked as an assistant manager of a movie theatre in Germantown, TN when this film was out. After almost a year in the theatre, we sold out every night show the last week it played. Spent dozens of breaks watching the TRex/Jeep chase scene. Movie magic.
Even with its shortcomings because it was "bleeding edge" at the time, the CG has a great pedigree. Because they were now out of a job, the stop-motion crew transferred over to the digital side and used their skills plus knowledge of movement to manipulate dino armatures so the CG elements moved "naturally".
A little paleontological trivia: Velociraptors are actually about the size of a turkey. What's portrayed here are more-or-less Deinonychus (dye-non-ih-kus), a larger relative. The name "velociraptor" just sounded cooler. Too bad they didn't have all the research that was soon to emerge that they should have been shown feathered to some degree. (Hey, when I was first devouring info on dinos in the '60s, they were still dragging their tails -- science marches on.)
I was 7 when this movie came out in theaters. As somewhat of a nerdy kid, who was into dinosaurs at the time this movie checked all the boxes of my imagination. It was something we hadn't seen before, the characters while not particularly deep were likeable and understandable enough that even my young brain was able to follow what was going on, and the crowd energy level fed the theater experience. It was hype. It was one of the few movies I went back to see in theaters more than once. It is a favorite showing of dollar theaters here in the US, so it isn't impossible for somebody to be in the states and still get the theater experience.
If you looked at it today, I think that younger generations might not appreciate the SFX marvel this was at the time. I think part of the reason the SFX holds up in that era of movies is because they both used CGI AND practical effects. Nowadays everything is CGI with very few practical effects. I liked uncharted okay, but I always wonder why they had Tom Holland CGI at certain points in the movie, like how expensive could it be to actually show Tom or a stunt double falling a few feet?
Anyways, I always enjoy when people watch a movie I loved as a kid in modern times.
