Welcome to Jurassic Park, Ms. Aria! I was managing a theater in Pittsburgh in 1993 when this film was released, and it was an event that you had to live through to understand how much of a sensation this film was back then! Love your channel, ma'am!
This film has so many iconic, classic lines: "Shoot her! Shoooot HAAAAA" "Dodgson, we've got Dodgson here!" "Look, stick; stick stupid." "Ah, ah, ah . . . you didn't say the magic words." "Now that is one big pile of $#!t" "Welcome . . . to Jurassic Park." "Are those meat-eating, uh . . . meat-a-saurus?" "Must go faster, must go faster." "We've spared no expense." "Hold on to yo butts." "Clever girl." "Dino DNA!" "RAWR!!!" And I'm sure there's more that are escaping my memory at the moment.
One thing about Dennis Nedry is that his greed didn't come out of nowhere. "spare no expense" is what Hammond always said, he spent all his money on making Jurassic Park a thing, and yet he underpaid his employees. Nedry in particular was expected to keep most of the park working and running, and is practically paid minimum wage despite everything he did Plus Nedry never turned off the power to the raptor enclosure because even he knew how dangerous the raptors were. When Hammond and Arnold rebooted all of the systems, it turned off the power to the raptor enclosure, letting them get out. None of the animals in Jurassic Park are as intelligent as the raptors, thus they are the most dangerous animals
Nedry was hired to get the computers running and contracted for a price. Ingen was vague about why they wanted the systems they did so he setup what they asked for then when things would go wrong they would demand he fix them and when he ask for money for fixing the problem. Ingen insisted that it was all under the contract they had agreed to so he wouldn’t get more money. Nedry’s plan was to shutoff the security long enough for him to collect the embryos and get them to a guy on one of the ships that were leaving then getting back to computer room and turning the security back on. The only thing he didn’t account for was a tropical storm hitting at that time.
@@RedRanger1138 Exact and this storm also pushed him to cut the fences of the dinosaurs to be able to cross the island in a straight line in order to bring the embryos in time because not only did that make the boat leave earlier than expected but in addition, Nedry was greatly slowed by the storm and would not have reached the boat in time by the normal route.
@@RedRanger1138 To add to this, in the book Ingen threatens to contact all the companies for which Nedry does work and ruin his business. So Nedry was really pushed to do this because he was trapped in this contract, underpaid and his livelihood was going to be ruined. It's a shame that the movie kept it as simple as "Nedry is greedy".
@@nonconsensualopinion I agree the book is more of a thrill ride than the movie. It was fun reading about Alan Grant killing 3 raptors with poison syringes and Muldoon blowing a raptor up with a rocket launcher.
It’s unlikely you will see this comment, but you are the first Jurassic Park reactor I saw, so far, who felt bad for Gennaro, the lawyer. And one of the few who didn’t get mad at Tim and Lex for acting “stupid” during the T-Rex attack. I love that! I appreciate reactors who make efforts to see things in the point of view of the characters, and even sympathize with them, and not just judge them straight away.
59:53 "Tim. He got all the bad luck." I dunno... The way I see it, he got an awful lot of good luck! Falling car didn't crush him, electric fence didn't permanently stop his heart, fall from fence didn't break any bones, falling fossil didn't impale him...!
When Alan says "It can't see us if we don't move', in the book his inner monologue realizes how ridiculous the theory is because the T-rex can clearly see them. They do show this in the movie, but it's so subtle that no one who hasn't read the book would notice it because it's just the T-rex pushing the car to see what they'd do Having said that, both books mention how these are not, technically, dinosaurs. The changes they make to the DNA in the labs didn't just bring the DNA to life, it changed it in unpredictable ways. It's kind of an explanation for them being inaccurate to modern knowledge, like how most therapods had feathers while none of these versions do. For example, Dilophosaurus were about seven or eight feet tall, and the velociraptors are actually Utahraptors, which were discovered two years before this movie released
Thanks so much, #AriaC, for uploading this awesome movie reaction. I love your content so much because it's so amazing, and I really enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies because they are so entertaining.
"It's a dinosaur movie, and it's about dinosaurs, and we're gonna see a lot of dinosaurs ..eating people, hopefully" I have never subscribed to a channel within 20 seconds before.
People have definitely found mosquitoes and other bugs in amber, but DNA breaks down over time and there wouldn't be any left to actually clone a dino.
Seeing that first dinosaur on a movie screen was amazing. It looked life-sized. Watching it on a small screen at home just doesn't do it justice. There are two more Jurassic Park movies, and then there are three Jurassic World movies, which are set in the same universe and which continue the story. The dinosaurs didn't die because the herbivores got the lysine that they needed from the plants, and then the carnivores ate the herbivores and got lysine from them. Fun fact: They built a full-sized animatronic T-Rex for use in some scenes and the actors were actually scared of it. It was used in rainy scenes and the foam latex used for its skin soaked up the water, making it much heavier than normal. This caused it to be harder to control and prone to malfunctions. So you had a T-Rex sized puppet that weighed probably a couple thousand pounds and which could be somewhat unpredictable. Oh, and Nedry wasn't Hammond's son, he was just being sarcastic.
I love how they used modern animal sounds and everyday objects to make the dinosaur's sounds. Adult raptors: Tortoise mating call, walrus chest roar, angry goose hiss and dolphin scream recorded underwater Baby raptors: Owlets (baby owls), kits (baby foxes) Gallimimus: Female horse in heat Brachiosaurus: Slowed down donkey brays, the sneeze was a whale breathing through its blowhole(s) mixed with a fire hydrant. Dilophosaurus: Hawk, swan, rattlesnake and howler monkey sounds Tyrannosaurus rex: Dog playing with rope toy, elephant calf squeal, an alligator's gurgling vocalizations, a tiger's snarl, metal sheets grinding against each other Triceratops: Cow, human breathing through a tube Bonus content: In an ironic twist, the Tyrannosaurus rex has been my favorite dinosaur since I was a child, even though this movie scared the crap out of me then, and that Raptor popping up behind Ellie Sattler in the maintenance shed is always a BIGTIME jumpscare.
Awesome reaction Aria 🙌! My sisters took me to watch this movie and I swear they thought I had PTSD after the show 😂. Such nostalgia watching your reaction because that was me when I saw this movie on its initial release back in '93 as a kid. Shocked, rocking back and forth in my seat, asking like 50 questions in a packed cinema to a point where my elder sister got so fed up she threatened to duct tape my mouth 😂! Watching it on digital surround sound in the cinema was pure magic. You could literally feel the seat vibrate when you hear the T-Rex approaching and let me not get started on the roars 🤯! Great one Aria and keep them reactions coming 🙌
100% it must be an American thing or a generational thing. I dont know a single person from the 1990s that thought Nedry meant "father" when he said "dad"
I read the book and saw the movie when they first came out, and was blown away by both, including the features of dinos which were contrary to then-current ideas (and movie recreations). They used to think dinos were really stupid and sluggish. The T-rex was thought to stand upright, like a prairie dog or rabbit, in a begging dog position. This move showed them with their body horizontal to the ground. (The reason for the silly little arms is because they had so much muscle in their jaws - thought to have had the highest bite pressure of any animal - and so the arms were reduced so as to help keep their balance.) And this movie was the first real CGI attempts to show dinos. Hollywood used to use clay animations like the first King Kong, or they would film a gila monster up close and project it blown up behind the actors. The special effects in this movie still hold up pretty well. But the science, oh the science. Even at the time of the movie, new discoveries were rewriting much of what we know. I love dinos and I wince at a lot of the "facts" presented here. (If you want to see the latest, watch the 5-part BBC series Prehistoric Planet.)
The theory has changed back and forth about the speed. Currently not as fast as the T-Rex in the movie. It's not physically possible for that amount of mass to move very fast. After all a T-Rex prey would be even larger and slower. As you probably are aware of that T-Rex has an excellent sense of smell so if they followed Dr Grants advice they'd be eaten. Still it inspired a generation to get excited and pursue learning about dinosaurs. And the movie while trying to be accurate needs to first and foremost entertain. Which it is.
3:10 I don't know if it's something they actually considered in the movie, I'd argue the mosquito just looks bigger because of the extreme close-up, but if they're digging up mosquitos trapped in amber from the time that dinosaurs were alive (65 million years ago!) then it likely WOULD have been much bigger than modern mosquitos. The atmosphere was much more oxygen rich back then and that contributed to a lot of mega-fauna, which means bigger everything, including (especially) bugs!
Jurassic Park is one of my favourite films of all time. My favourite scenes would be the T-Rex breaking out of the paddock and Raptors in the kitchen. Looking forward to your reaction for The Lost World.
I don't recall ever personaly seeing the actor Joseph Mazzello who played the boy Tim in any movies after this until 20 something years later he played Queen bassist John Deacon and looked SO MUCH like him.
He was in the movie, "The Cure" (1995). It was an underrated movie, but one of my favorites, and he was great in it. Aria, you must check it out if you haven't already. ;)
Well, they are talking about cloning a wooly mammoth to bring it back, so I don't know why they couldn't do the same with a dinosaur. LOL, great reaction!!!
They would be extracting DNA from cells in identified mammoth tissue that had been preserved in Arctic frozen ground for thousands/tens of thousands of years (compared to 65 million). Fossil dino blood in an insect preserved in amber for tens of million years would be much more problematic: You would not even know beforehand if/what species had been bitten, and the DNA - even if present - might be like a novel that had been through a paper shredder. So it's apples vs oranges (or geodes XD)
Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster!"🦖 Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: " Must go FASTER!" 👽 I saw this 6 times in theatres as a kid, that's how epic it was. Remember feeling the T-Rex steps while looking at the water?
"It's a dinosaur movie. It's about dinosaurs. And we're going to see a lot of dinosaurs." Sounds like me in grade school giving a book report on a book I didn't read. 😂 As a longtime Spielberg and dinosaur fan, this is one of my favorite movies, based on the book by Michael Crichton. I think I saw it about a dozen times in the theaters. Theoretically, yes, cloning is a thing, but my understanding as a non-geneticist is that 100 million year old DNA would be so degraded by now, that cloning a dinosaur would be impossible. I'm sure that, if I'm wrong about that, some geneticist out there will correct me. There are other scientific mistakes in the movie. First, in real life, velociraptors were much smaller than the ones in the movie. About the size of a turkey. The creatures in the movie more closely resembled Deinonychus, but I guess Spielberg thought "raptor" sounder cooler. Also, there's no evidence to back up the claim made in the movie that T-rex can't see you if you don't move so, if you ever find yourself around a T-rex, run! Finally, dinosaurs would have a hard time living in today's world. Today's temperatures are 5-10 degrees celsius cooler than they were in the cretaceous period, and the air back then contained about 50% more oxygen than today's air, so that T-rex chasing the Jeep would have had to stop every few steps and catch her breath. So now, you have to see the sequels.
@avtomatt The dinosaur killer meteor is not universally accepted among paleontologists. Many, including noted paleontologist Robert Bakker claim that the fossil record shows that dinosaur species started to go extinct millions of years before the meteor hit, and that the meteor was, at most, a final blow to whatever dinosaurs may have been hanging on. Bakker points to the large number of fossils found well below the K-T boundary, the line in rock formations that marks the period immediately following the meteor strike, and no fossils at all found in or within a meter below the boundary.
Don't know where you are getting that factoid about Oxygen levels, as all the literature I've seen only speaks about how much higher Carbon Dioxide was in the Cretaceous, NOT Oxygen. Source please.
@@neilgriffiths6427 I don't remember where I first heard it, but if you just Google "oxygen levels in the Cretaceous compared to today" you should find some info.
Apparently, the atmosphere reached a peak of around 30% oxygen (about half again as much as today) and very low CO2 at the end of the Cretaceous. This didn't particularly help the dinosaurs, and might have very nearly crashed the photosynthesis cycle. That is right about the time that plants using C4 photosynthesis (a specific chemical path) began to appear, which are notably tolerant of O2-rich atmospheric conditions. Oxygen may actually have been lower than today through most of the period. The high oxygen levels of some periods (particularly the carboniferous) reduced the disadvantages of a passive respiratory system, allowing arthropods and amphibians to get much bigger than they otherwise could. But a "giant dragonfly" is still dwarfed by modern birds of prey.
Best thing about Tyrannosaurus is that irl it would absolutely see you, wether you stood still or not - even if you hid, it has been suggested through scans of the skull, that it had a sense of smell comparable to a tyrannosaur-sized dog. Tyrannosaurus literally outcompeted most of its contemporary rivals - even predators of totally different size-categories were outcompeted by young tyrannosaurs - their prey at the time evolved to the extremes - with Triceratops, super-armored Ankylosaurs, or Hadrosaurs whos only defense was sheer numbers allowing the luckiest to grow to a size where they could - with some luck - outwrestle a Tyrannosaur (Hadrosaur fossils sometimes come with Tyrannosaur bite-marks, showing they were bitten - and then survived to live further)
simply put it is one of the most advanced and most intelligent dinosaurs of all time (if not the most in both categories) and is the true danger (not Velociraptors/dromaeosaurs).
In the book Grant theorized that the rex's vision was based on movement by watching how it was reacting and knowing the frog DNA was probably the reason.
And the vision off of movement was even debunked in The Lost World novel. Interestingly enough, all the mannerisms and stuff were observed by the characters during their trials at the park, but in the movie they somehow know raptor social hunting patterns?
@@richardjohnson5435 It was clearly a device that was going to be revisited later in the movie but yeah Grant knowing about it was weird. And it was even more weird considering Muldoon was supposed to be the foremost expert (to the point even Grant deferred to him) but didn't know that behavior himself. One of the rare bigger flaws of the movie.
33:27 pro-tip: if you want to test if a cable has electricity, touch with the back of your hand. If there is enough electricity to stimulate your nerves, your hand will close away from the cable instead of on it. Or better yet, use a multimeter. 41:18 yes, the technology is plausible. The non-plausible part is finding DNA that is millions of years old. Species that went extinct in the past few centuries could be revived, at least in theory.
They never say in the movie but do in the book. Some animals eat rocks to help them digest plants they can't do on their own. They are called gizzard stones. Some reptiles, birds etc do it. So the triceratops was eating the stones, and along with them, the west Indian lilac. When the stones become smooth, they regurgitate them to make way for more. In doing so they were throwing up the evidence of the berries which is why she didn't find any in the poop. But they are making her sick before she throws them up.
I LOVE it whenever Spielberg does horror! JAWS, POLTERGEIST, JURASSIC PARK even INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM-- all classics! I think he produced ( but didn't direct) GREMLINS! As for the dinosaurs falling into a coma and dying, I assume like many other creatures, the dinos eventually grew accustomed to their new 20th century environment and developed an immunity to that fate!
Hi Aria just found your channel and you made me happy laugh right away, without even trying. Because of the editing in the beginning the picture went down to show Mini Mouse just as you said " isn't that a dinosaur" 😂😂😂 that was epic 😂😂😊
There's lots of good movies out there nowadays, but the jurassic park franchise is one of my all time favorites. I've seen this one so many times on my own and in reaction videos. I enjoy the jurassic world series also, though ik other people don't care for them.
Jeff Goldblum (Dr. Ian Malcolm) steals the show... again! He's the absolute best thing in this movie besides the dinosaurs. His quirky sense of dry comedic timing is legendary. I'm glad you got to see this neuvoclassic film Aria! Too bad you werent able to experience it in a theater with BIG bass.
Aria this comment has nothing to do with this movie, it's just that this is the movie I discovered your channel. I went to your reaction to The Green Mile and saw you were saying people gave you trouble for not crying in Saving Private Ryan watched that reaction and you were saying the same thing about other movies. Don't listen to them, I myself am a combat veteran, and although a lot of movies and scenes especially if they involve kids or dogs, make me very sad even if I don't cry. So there is nothing wrong with you not crying 😭. In the reaction to Saving Private Ryan you spoke about what soldiers see and how it effects them and their family. A great movie to show your point is true story American Sniper 😊
Dino’s are breaking out and wreaking havoc, Alan Lex and Tim are lost, Ian is injured, a (real) hurricane has just rolled through and probably destroyed a lot of stuff and the worst part is that Ellie is wearing shorts in a jungle.
When I was barely 5, I went to Kenya with my mother. Safari was lame, we barely saw more than a Giraffe's neck or a couple of elephants on the whole trip... All that with being obliged to keep the mosquito nets on the beds every night. DNA can't stay intact for that long, a couple of dozens of thousands years at most. DNA self decays in much less time that the time of the dinos extinction happened. Oh, they actually tried to find some but that particular research made us learn about the decay of DNA and launched a new era in dinosaurs research. Since then we learned that dinos skin wasn't bare but covered in proto feathers with colors and stuff. The lung system functions more like birds with a third chamber to allow the continuous assimilation of oxygen during the breathing process and keep those big muscles fed with fresh blood.. Fortunately, the duration of DNA prevents us to live such a catastrophic scenario. The closest we could come up with would be a virtual park like a video game Jurassic Park Evolution that we could regularly update with latest discoveries.
35:03 - That scene jumpscared us in the theater. I was front row. We all jumped, looked at each other and laughed. 😉 40:36 - yeah, they didn't pursue that plot point. That way they could do sequels.
Ah, they did pursue it, though it wasn't a huge focus. In The Lost World, early on, Sarah fills Ian in how the lysine contingency failed to stop the dinosaurs on Sorna - basically, they just have a lysine-rich diet. This is also pursued in the original novel, where dinosaurs that escape to the mainland feed on soy beans, chickens etc to get their lysine. It's an example of how unprepared Jurassic Park was - they didn't stop to consider how animals they don't really understand would get around obstacles they set in their way because they rushed to commercialize them. Indeed, there are plenty of animals that can't metabolize lysine but get by fine because of their diet...including humans.
Re: 41:20 - They can't bring the dinosaurs back from the blood sucked by mosquitos, because DNA does not stay usefull for tens of millions years. However, scientist might be able to manipulate DNA of chickens and other birds and create dinosaurs that way. That's what I've heard, but I'm not a specialist in this or in any other field. (Woolly mammoths did go into extinction only 10 000 years ago and they could possibly return very easily - compared to dinosaurs - with the help of female elephants and so on... you can Google that if you feel like it, there's lots of articles about that).
"The Dinosaurs may die if they don't get the "Stuff"... As Jeff pointed out, "Life finds a way"... Life Adapts and Evolves and Each Dominant Species has a beginning and an end to make way for something else.
My first time coming across this channel and I can say this: real pretty hair. That's all. 😊 WE may not be at the science stage where we can do this YET. But life can. There is no stopping nature. There was a time when flying or traveling over 30 MPH were considered impossible. The military is capable of doing things that most of us would consider impossible. Just because people think it is impossible does not mean it is not being done.
I love this movie. And the sequels too. Jurassic Park might be the only media franchise that I, personally, cannot think objectively about, because I love it so much. I know a lot of people have issues with the sequel trilogy, Jurassic World, but I can't help loving it.
Woohoo! I've been waiting for you to see this one! Like I told you in your last video, the original novel by Michael Crichton is even more amazing! If you can find a copy, buy it and read it! You won't regret it! Fair warning though, the book is MUCH more graphic than the movie. But you said you wanted to see that in your intro, so... 😅🦕🦖
@ariac2693 Before you do, I should tell you in advance, while the overall plot is the same, there are a few differences, and several of the characters are very different, especially Grant, Gennaro and Hammond. And like I said, it tells an even bigger and grander story than the movie.
@@ariachanson01 Michael Crichton always made the things in his books seem to be possible through science. Well science-fiction sometimes does come to pass.
According to a paper written by van der Valk T, Pečnerová P, Díez-Del-Molino D, Bergström A, Oppenheimer J, Hartmann S, et al. the upper boundary for being able to sequence a preserved genome is 1.65 million years. Anything significantly older (say 68 to 66 million years for T-Rex) would be too damaged to make any sense out of.
I didn't even realize DNA could be preserved for that long. Plus, I am just guessing that the paper's upper limit was for best case scenario, i.e. some type of cryogenics prep and storage. For the mosquito preserved in amber, there would be heat decomposition, plus pressure as the mosquito is buried deeper and deeper. And finally, mold and fungus would also effect it too.
@@MichFedorchak Oxygen is actually the first effect and why that method is nonviable. Amber is not air tight and oxygen makes things decompose much, much faster. It also allows water to enter and water destroys DNA almost on contact.
For the record, when the movie or any movie talks about the dangers of bringing back dinos in broad terms, or speaks about "they had their chance and nature replaced them," at the time of this movie, the idea of the asteroid hitting the earth 65-66 million years and wiping out most was just being discussed. There are many many ways some dinos were far more advanced then mammals in such features as vision and breathing. Dinos had hollow bones which allowed them to get so big. Also allowed some to develop flight. Speaking of which, it is now recognized that while birds descended from dinos, they also ARE dinosaurs, technically "avian dinosaurs." (Just like we humans are descended from apes but also still are apes.)
The meteor hypothesis was way older than 1993. It was first presented in 1980 and had its foundations in 1978....but the actual impact zone was found in 1990 so I'll give you that. Generally it was presented (and still is somewhat) as a multi-cause extinction ranging from sea level changes to volcanoes, atmospheric and solar changes, to even the mentioned mammals out-competing them stuff. Also birds are reptiles and every vertebrate animal is technically a fish because of the line of descent.
If you're curious about what was wrong with the trike, want more information on breeding and the consequences, as well as know what they decided to do with this island, I would highly recommend picking up a copy of the book. The first book already had problems with animals getting off the island. There is more than enough material they couldn't fit into the movie to make it feel like a whole new adventure, and you get real answers to things they had to leave hanging. The second book has almost nothing in common with the rest of the series so, again, you can enjoy a different story if you feel inclined. This was fun, thank you.
I can fully understand that scene was to scary as a little kid. At least now you can enjoy the movie to it's fullest. 24:12 I think part of all of us did. An other great reaction, you have become one of my favorite reactors. So keep up the good work and have a wonderful day.
I loved Jurassic Park. It was the movie that introduced me to dinosaurs when I was very little and it was one of the movies that got me hooked on learning about science and genetics. While I would think it be very cool to see in today's world, even with current security technology, it would still be too dangerous. We are still learning so much about animals in our current time and even if somehow we could have a 100% pure DNA strand to revive these creatures instead of the workaround this series had, there is no way we would understand its intelligence and behaviors. It would be like parading a live grenade around and messing with it without knowing what a grenade is. Its just asking for someone to pull the pin and blow up.
They can't bring Dinos back that easy. Yes there were mosquitoes and other blood sucking creatures back then. And plenty are preserved in amber. However, even after the creatures died their digestive enzymes continued to break their last blood meal down to the point that it is extremely hard to even get small DNA fragments from it. They likely could never get enough DNA that way to bring Dinos back in real life. I was a kid when this movie came out and I remember how excited I was to see it. I had the pre-release magazines for it and treasured them. But my parents were a bit concerned the movie would be too violent for me to watch yet. I had to convince them to let me watch it. And boy, when I saw it for the first time, it was amazing.
I'm so glad that you reaction to my most favorite Dinosaur movie Jurassic Park, Your reaction is Perfect and so cute. Great job Aria and I'm sure you can reaction to New movie called Jurassic World: Domination. 🌹❤️💖🌺💮🌸
Hi Aria ❤ I really love your reaction to Jurassic park I hope the other Jurassic movies are next on your list You know John Williams did a very good job with the music🎶🦖🦕🦕🦕
Dilophosaurs are tricky buggers. At 1:11:55, after Nedry has crashed, he looks at the sign and says "There's the road." The sign's arrow points straight up. Moments later, at 1:12:17 after he has slipped and slid down the hill, the same sign now points left. Obviously, the dilophosaurs are running around switching the signs to confuse him, to better be able to hunt. :) Those are the time stamps in the actual movie, by the way, not in the reaction video. So don't use the auto-links.
wouldnt it be a different sign (in the same font...like they do in Disneyland: all the signs are identical fonts and mountings) because he picked up enough speed to crash through the brush and down an embankment. If it was the same sign just a few feet away, I dont think his jeep (i have a jeep...depressingly slow to accelerate while merging into traffic) would be able to accelerate fast enough to bust through anything...it would be slow and controlled..
What I find amazing is that while Steven Spielberg was making this film he was also doing pre-production work on Schindler's List in Poland often teleconferencing with his AD's about shooting schedules and scene setups. I will say this movie ranks as one of my favorite movies I saw in the theater. I was just as awe struck as when I saw The Matrix or the original Star Wars when I was 12. Aria you and other reactors I have watched complaining about the sound have to remember that the sound of these older movies never considered anyone watching with headphones on. Sound was a very important consideration back then and a necessary tool in movies like this. That's why in Jaws there's that shrill noise when Ben Gardener's head pops out to enhance the jump scare. I can only imagine how that sounds through headphones.
Doctor Grant's description of Velociraptor hunting behavior could be forshadowing Muldune's death but honestly I think it's more a homage to Henry Wu's death in the source material.
I LOVE this movie. The sequel, too. I saw it four times in the theater as a kid when it first came out (I know, I'm old). Yes, getting dinosaur DNA like that is, at this time, impossible. DNA literally falls apart after a few million years. My only real complaint is that people confuse the moral of the story sometimes. It's not "Dinosaurs = evil." They were just animals doing what they do. It's about the dangers of creation without understanding and rushing to exploit scientific knowledge. Honestly, done properly, there's no reason why it COULDN'T work.
You have a remarkably soothing voice , have you considered doing a series of book at bedtime readings , maybe a selection of interesting short stories would work well... just a thought
27:11 "You left him _alone,_ here? What if the T-Rex comes back?" He knows how to handle the T-Rex. Remember? Dr. Grant told him that T-Rex's visual acuity is based on _movement._ If you don't move, she can't differentiate you from the _landscape._
Another classic! I love that you probably still have a lot of movies like these as a "first time watching" reaction on your list. Please try to add "American Beauty" to your list, it is a very good drama 😉
Love how Hammond says "Spared no expense" so much, but if you look around you can see he did cheap out, if he had paid Nedry properlly then he wouldnt have hacked the systems and crashed everything, if he had listened to the game wardon, he would have killed the Raptors, but hammond was too focused on marketing the park and showing off, even in the embryo storage some of the dino names are misspelled showing that is another thing he cheaped out on.
Yes, I think it is worth to note, that though Nedry was the one to start the aktual breakdown in the movie, the downfall would be inevitable also without him. Hammond spared a lot of expenses on security. On the technical side: no car locks, only one guy really fully understanding the computer systems , only single fences, totally depending on electricity, never having tested a restart before... And on the biological side: No real understanding of the animals and their power and their needs: Only females - didn't work! Lysene discontinuity - didn't work (though this will be only apparent in the next movies). The Triceratops was sick for a reason and even the sneezing Brachiosaurus was a hint. And so on. That is not an excuse for Nedry though!
I broadly follow science as a hobby and as far as I'm aware the only thing preventing them from bringing back dinos from mosquitos is the half life of the DNA. Basically, even preserved like that in amber, DNA from dinos will have decayed beyond practical use for cloning. But everything else about it is viable. Theoretically we could use this method on things that were more recently extinct. I think things like the wooly mammoth are more in the viable range. I think the half life of DNA restricts to the scale of thousands of years, so dinos are way too old at millions of years old.
"these are the GOOD ONES, they EAT LEAVES" In other words, they're not BAD ONES that would EAT ME. LOL The computer guy, Wayne Knight, played Newman, Jerry's nemesis, on the Seinfeld comedy series. He also played the cop, Officer Don, on Third Rock From the Sun comedy series. BTW I use Barbasol shaving cream, $1.84 at Walmart. I spare no expense. ;o)
wayne knight was afraid he was going to be fired from seinfeld because the day he filmed his death scene the ink from the fake venom stained his face and would not wash off and he had to film an episode that day. I guess they didn't mind or concealed it well enough.
@@scottb3034 Interesting that that filming overlapped. Never heard of that. Knowing the Seinfeld show I'm sure they could've figured out a way to work that in if they wanted to. If they could a show about nothing that would've been easy. ;o)
@@bintheredonethat It is from an anecdote in an interview with Shannon Shea who was an artist for Stan Winston at the time. So it would seem to have credence but then he also made the claim that Stan Winston was pushing for feathered dinosaurs at the time but that Spielberg adamantly shot him down (that doesn't seem to hold water since A) Dinosaurs with feathers had almost no connection at the time B) Spielberg would definitely not be opposed to doing that considering he was all about using modern science at the time and Jack Horner, Greg Paul & Robert Bakker were consultants as well). So who knows if it is 100% true but he was a crew member on the film so i would think it wouldn't be a lie. One thing I know was true is that he did the paint job on the baby triceratops that was going to appear in the original movie and Lex was going to ride but was disappointed when they cut it out. Agree with your assessment btw LOL
I found this one late. So yes, the DNA thing is Not possible, however, what Is possible is scientists potentially bringing back Mammoths, Mastodons, Smilodons (sabertoothed cat), so on. When it comes to Nedry's demise, there is 2 Dilo's. The one he meets by the tree, and the one that went into the jeep since he left the door open.
They have actually found mosquitoes incased in Amber. However there is no DNA that could be gotten from them. I would suggest you either read the book this movie is based on or listen to the audiobook of it. You can get the audiobook at Audible or you can listen to it on TH-cam.
The Jurassic franchise along with the Eyewitness Dinosaur show and Eyewitness Dinosaur software all got me into liking dinosaurs as my top favorite real life animals along with model and animating dinosaurs.
20:06 Let me point something out about this _situation_ Dennis Nedry is in. He explained in that phone call, earlier, that he had run a _drill_ for this and it took him 20 _minutes._ I've gotten the impression, though, from this movie, that that drill depended on nice _weather._ Now that he has to cope with a _downpour_ with heavy rain and _wind,_ he's _lost._ Can he get to the dock? No. He doesn't know where it _is._ Can he get back to the _command_ center? No. He doesn't know where it _is._ He's lost, in a downpour, on an island with _dinosaurs_ roaming unrestrained.
The novel originally featured a giant bird cage housing pterosaurs, but they didn't have the budget for it in the film. Also: Hammond is a giant prick in the book 😂
Just because plant-eaters don't eat meat, it doesn't make them non-dangerous. In fact, MANY plant-eating animals are more violent and aggressive than meat-eaters. Sure meat-eaters hunt because they need to eat, but a plant-eater will attack if it ever feels threatened, and that is VERY easy to make them feel unsafe Meat-eaters can't let themselves get hurt because if they get hurt, they can't hunt for food, and will starve. In fact if a meat-eater feels threatened, they'll try to scare you away rather than attack. A plant-eater will attack
Yeah the blood will have long since deteriorated. It’s a fun idea but the blood would have broken down millions of years ago, if it was an animal from a couple of hundred years ago *maybe*, but the insect DNA will have contaminated it anyway so pretty much impossible.
In response to your statement, yes Hammond IS a fun guy, and generous too. I hear he donated an organ (a Hammond Organ, to be specific) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Hammond wasn't Dennis' dad ... Dennis was just being a smart-alecky smart-ass ... that was actually a real dumbass. I think, when they were in the Jeep, driving away from the T-Rex and it was gaining on them, it was funny that they hunter guy looked in the sideview mirror to see how close it was, and they focused on the little sign that's always there in the mirror that says, "Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear". Finally, yes, they CAN do this, but no one has done it yet. They've been thinking about creating a Woolly Mammoth, but others would be possible if they could find the DNA.
They can't do it with dinosaurs though. The technology to recreate animals from DNA exists, but DNA breaks down over time, millions of years is way too long ago to ever find any.
@@WJS774 I hear ya, and on the surface, this is true. But, as we know about scientists, they are often wrong. We don't really know if there could be DNA that has somehow survived ... preserved in some way. Even in the movie, they weren't TRUE dinosaurs, as they used parts of the DNA from frogs to fill in the missing pieces. However, even though that's a stretch, it may be possible. Think about it ... we used to KNOW that you couldn't push more data down a wire than 1200 baud (bits per second), but now we push gigabytes. We did it by thinking about the problem in a different way and using different techniques, first by using compression, then by other materials, etc. We are constantly being told that this can't be done, and that can't be done, but then, someone does it. Maybe DNA isn't the only answer. Maybe we can reverse engineer the DNA, like hackers reverse engineer programs ... by, looking at the end result and figuring out what needed to happen for the end result to be possible. IDK, it's all speculative, and I know it can't happen now, but I'm an optimist.
Terrifying fact about Tyrannosaurus Rex: Their eyesight was not movement-based in real life, they had vision as sharp as an eagle. And you wouldn't hear its footsteps unless it stepped on branches

Welcome to Jurassic Park, Ms. Aria! I was managing a theater in Pittsburgh in 1993 when this film was released, and it was an event that you had to live through to understand how much of a sensation this film was back then! Love your channel, ma'am!
Thankyou!! I imagine it must have been amazing
You are not wrong. Perfect blend of CGI and reality.
Pittsburg Pensilvania or Pittsburg Texas?
@@ariachanson01 love your reactions. you're soo cute when you get scared XD

"Ah, ah, ah . . . you didn't say the magic words."

Now eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs on your dinosaur tour, right?
Dinosaurs eat man. Women inherits the earth.
Life will find a way
"I have no food on me!"
(Every Reactor ever: "Man, you are the food!")
One thing about Dennis Nedry is that his greed didn't come out of nowhere. "spare no expense" is what Hammond always said, he spent all his money on making Jurassic Park a thing, and yet he underpaid his employees. Nedry in particular was expected to keep most of the park working and running, and is practically paid minimum wage despite everything he did
Plus Nedry never turned off the power to the raptor enclosure because even he knew how dangerous the raptors were. When Hammond and Arnold rebooted all of the systems, it turned off the power to the raptor enclosure, letting them get out. None of the animals in Jurassic Park are as intelligent as the raptors, thus they are the most dangerous animals
Nedry was hired to get the computers running and contracted for a price. Ingen was vague about why they wanted the systems they did so he setup what they asked for then when things would go wrong they would demand he fix them and when he ask for money for fixing the problem. Ingen insisted that it was all under the contract they had agreed to so he wouldn’t get more money. Nedry’s plan was to shutoff the security long enough for him to collect the embryos and get them to a guy on one of the ships that were leaving then getting back to computer room and turning the security back on. The only thing he didn’t account for was a tropical storm hitting at that time.
@@RedRanger1138 Exact and this storm also pushed him to cut the fences of the dinosaurs to be able to cross the island in a straight line in order to bring the embryos in time because not only did that make the boat leave earlier than expected but in addition, Nedry was greatly slowed by the storm and would not have reached the boat in time by the normal route.
@@RedRanger1138 To add to this, in the book Ingen threatens to contact all the companies for which Nedry does work and ruin his business. So Nedry was really pushed to do this because he was trapped in this contract, underpaid and his livelihood was going to be ruined. It's a shame that the movie kept it as simple as "Nedry is greedy".
@@nonconsensualopinion I agree the book is more of a thrill ride than the movie. It was fun reading about Alan Grant killing 3 raptors with poison syringes and Muldoon blowing a raptor up with a rocket launcher.
@@RedRanger1138 Plus, there were two Rexes. And the lawyer was a badass.
It’s unlikely you will see this comment, but you are the first Jurassic Park reactor I saw, so far, who felt bad for Gennaro, the lawyer. And one of the few who didn’t get mad at Tim and Lex for acting “stupid” during the T-Rex attack.
I love that! I appreciate reactors who make efforts to see things in the point of view of the characters, and even sympathize with them, and not just judge them straight away.
59:53 "Tim. He got all the bad luck." I dunno... The way I see it, he got an awful lot of good luck! Falling car didn't crush him, electric fence didn't permanently stop his heart, fall from fence didn't break any bones, falling fossil didn't impale him...!
When Alan says "It can't see us if we don't move', in the book his inner monologue realizes how ridiculous the theory is because the T-rex can clearly see them. They do show this in the movie, but it's so subtle that no one who hasn't read the book would notice it because it's just the T-rex pushing the car to see what they'd do
Having said that, both books mention how these are not, technically, dinosaurs. The changes they make to the DNA in the labs didn't just bring the DNA to life, it changed it in unpredictable ways. It's kind of an explanation for them being inaccurate to modern knowledge, like how most therapods had feathers while none of these versions do. For example, Dilophosaurus were about seven or eight feet tall, and the velociraptors are actually Utahraptors, which were discovered two years before this movie released
Thanks so much, #AriaC, for uploading this awesome movie reaction. I love your content so much because it's so amazing, and I really enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies because they are so entertaining.
Ur right Allen should have made 2 knots on the belt so it don't lose in up n be more secure
If a dinosaur park like this really opened, I would definitely go. I don't care how much it would cost, or how long it took to save that amount.
"It's a dinosaur movie, and it's about dinosaurs, and we're gonna see a lot of dinosaurs ..eating people, hopefully"
I have never subscribed to a channel within 20 seconds before.
People have definitely found mosquitoes and other bugs in amber, but DNA breaks down over time and there wouldn't be any left to actually clone a dino.
18:59
"You're married?"
"Occasionally."
🤦♂😝
Seeing that first dinosaur on a movie screen was amazing. It looked life-sized. Watching it on a small screen at home just doesn't do it justice.
There are two more Jurassic Park movies, and then there are three Jurassic World movies, which are set in the same universe and which continue the story.
The dinosaurs didn't die because the herbivores got the lysine that they needed from the plants, and then the carnivores ate the herbivores and got lysine from them.
Fun fact: They built a full-sized animatronic T-Rex for use in some scenes and the actors were actually scared of it. It was used in rainy scenes and the foam latex used for its skin soaked up the water, making it much heavier than normal. This caused it to be harder to control and prone to malfunctions. So you had a T-Rex sized puppet that weighed probably a couple thousand pounds and which could be somewhat unpredictable.
Oh, and Nedry wasn't Hammond's son, he was just being sarcastic.
I love how they used modern animal sounds and everyday objects to make the dinosaur's sounds.
Adult raptors: Tortoise mating call, walrus chest roar, angry goose hiss and dolphin scream recorded underwater
Baby raptors: Owlets (baby owls), kits (baby foxes)
Gallimimus: Female horse in heat
Brachiosaurus: Slowed down donkey brays, the sneeze was a whale breathing through its blowhole(s) mixed with a fire hydrant.
Dilophosaurus: Hawk, swan, rattlesnake and howler monkey sounds
Tyrannosaurus rex: Dog playing with rope toy, elephant calf squeal, an alligator's gurgling vocalizations, a tiger's snarl, metal sheets grinding against each other
Triceratops: Cow, human breathing through a tube
Bonus content: In an ironic twist, the Tyrannosaurus rex has been my favorite dinosaur since I was a child, even though this movie scared the crap out of me then, and that Raptor popping up behind Ellie Sattler in the maintenance shed is always a BIGTIME jumpscare.
22:00 "You are food"
that was one of the best spontanious comments I've ever heard for this movie reactions, lol
Awesome reaction Aria 🙌! My sisters took me to watch this movie and I swear they thought I had PTSD after the show 😂. Such nostalgia watching your reaction because that was me when I saw this movie on its initial release back in '93 as a kid. Shocked, rocking back and forth in my seat, asking like 50 questions in a packed cinema to a point where my elder sister got so fed up she threatened to duct tape my mouth 😂!
Watching it on digital surround sound in the cinema was pure magic. You could literally feel the seat vibrate when you hear the T-Rex approaching and let me not get started on the roars 🤯! Great one Aria and keep them reactions coming 🙌
15:16 No, it's not his Dad. He's calling his boss "Dad" (in quotes) because he feels like he's unfairly being treated like a child.
Oh🤦
Because Hammond was lecturing him.
100% it must be an American thing or a generational thing. I dont know a single person from the 1990s that thought Nedry meant "father" when he said "dad"
@@slchance8839 Def. an American thing as I made the same mistake the first time I watched it . . .
I read the book and saw the movie when they first came out, and was blown away by both, including the features of dinos which were contrary to then-current ideas (and movie recreations). They used to think dinos were really stupid and sluggish. The T-rex was thought to stand upright, like a prairie dog or rabbit, in a begging dog position. This move showed them with their body horizontal to the ground. (The reason for the silly little arms is because they had so much muscle in their jaws - thought to have had the highest bite pressure of any animal - and so the arms were reduced so as to help keep their balance.)
And this movie was the first real CGI attempts to show dinos. Hollywood used to use clay animations like the first King Kong, or they would film a gila monster up close and project it blown up behind the actors. The special effects in this movie still hold up pretty well.
But the science, oh the science. Even at the time of the movie, new discoveries were rewriting much of what we know. I love dinos and I wince at a lot of the "facts" presented here. (If you want to see the latest, watch the 5-part BBC series Prehistoric Planet.)
The theory has changed back and forth about the speed. Currently not as fast as the T-Rex in the movie. It's not physically possible for that amount of mass to move very fast. After all a T-Rex prey would be even larger and slower.
As you probably are aware of that T-Rex has an excellent sense of smell so if they followed Dr Grants advice they'd be eaten. Still it inspired a generation to get excited and pursue learning about dinosaurs. And the movie while trying to be accurate needs to first and foremost entertain. Which it is.
@@petercofrancesco9812 Of course it's possible for that much mass to move quickly. Rhinos charge at over 30 miles an hour.
@@WJS774 rhinos are about 1/4 the weight of a T Rex and have twice as many legs.
Welcome to Jurassic Park
3:10 I don't know if it's something they actually considered in the movie, I'd argue the mosquito just looks bigger because of the extreme close-up, but if they're digging up mosquitos trapped in amber from the time that dinosaurs were alive (65 million years ago!) then it likely WOULD have been much bigger than modern mosquitos. The atmosphere was much more oxygen rich back then and that contributed to a lot of mega-fauna, which means bigger everything, including (especially) bugs!
Jurassic Park is one of my favourite films of all time. My favourite scenes would be the T-Rex breaking out of the paddock and Raptors in the kitchen. Looking forward to your reaction for The Lost World.
All these years later, and I STILL find the T-Rex escape scene scary. :)
I don't recall ever personaly seeing the actor Joseph Mazzello who played the boy Tim in any movies after this until 20 something years later he played Queen bassist John Deacon and looked SO MUCH like him.
He also starred in the Pacific which is a WWII miniseries produced by Spielberg and also stars Rami Malek who played Freddie Mercury.
He was in the movie, "The Cure" (1995). It was an underrated movie, but one of my favorites, and he was great in it. Aria, you must check it out if you haven't already. ;)
Well, they are talking about cloning a wooly mammoth to bring it back, so I don't know why they couldn't do the same with a dinosaur. LOL, great reaction!!!
They would be extracting DNA from cells in identified mammoth tissue that had been preserved in Arctic frozen ground for thousands/tens of thousands of years (compared to 65 million). Fossil dino blood in an insect preserved in amber for tens of million years would be much more problematic: You would not even know beforehand if/what species had been bitten, and the DNA - even if present - might be like a novel that had been through a paper shredder. So it's apples vs oranges (or geodes XD)
It's incredible how good this film looks after 20 years.
30! Jurassic Park came out in 1993.
@@timothymorris157 No idea why I said 20! My old brain is losing it.
@@Patriiiiick It’s alright! I’ve made those kind of mistakes myself to be completely honest with you.
Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster!"🦖
Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: " Must go FASTER!" 👽
I saw this 6 times in theatres as a kid, that's how epic it was. Remember feeling the T-Rex steps while looking at the water?
"It's a dinosaur movie. It's about dinosaurs. And we're going to see a lot of dinosaurs."
Sounds like me in grade school giving a book report on a book I didn't read. 😂
As a longtime Spielberg and dinosaur fan, this is one of my favorite movies, based on the book by Michael Crichton. I think I saw it about a dozen times in the theaters. Theoretically, yes, cloning is a thing, but my understanding as a non-geneticist is that 100 million year old DNA would be so degraded by now, that cloning a dinosaur would be impossible. I'm sure that, if I'm wrong about that, some geneticist out there will correct me.
There are other scientific mistakes in the movie. First, in real life, velociraptors were much smaller than the ones in the movie. About the size of a turkey. The creatures in the movie more closely resembled Deinonychus, but I guess Spielberg thought "raptor" sounder cooler. Also, there's no evidence to back up the claim made in the movie that T-rex can't see you if you don't move so, if you ever find yourself around a T-rex, run! Finally, dinosaurs would have a hard time living in today's world. Today's temperatures are 5-10 degrees celsius cooler than they were in the cretaceous period, and the air back then contained about 50% more oxygen than today's air, so that T-rex chasing the Jeep would have had to stop every few steps and catch her breath.
So now, you have to see the sequels.
@avtomatt The dinosaur killer meteor is not universally accepted among paleontologists. Many, including noted paleontologist Robert Bakker claim that the fossil record shows that dinosaur species started to go extinct millions of years before the meteor hit, and that the meteor was, at most, a final blow to whatever dinosaurs may have been hanging on. Bakker points to the large number of fossils found well below the K-T boundary, the line in rock formations that marks the period immediately following the meteor strike, and no fossils at all found in or within a meter below the boundary.
Don't know where you are getting that factoid about Oxygen levels, as all the literature I've seen only speaks about how much higher Carbon Dioxide was in the Cretaceous, NOT Oxygen. Source please.
@@neilgriffiths6427 I don't remember where I first heard it, but if you just Google "oxygen levels in the Cretaceous compared to today" you should find some info.
Apparently, the atmosphere reached a peak of around 30% oxygen (about half again as much as today) and very low CO2 at the end of the Cretaceous. This didn't particularly help the dinosaurs, and might have very nearly crashed the photosynthesis cycle. That is right about the time that plants using C4 photosynthesis (a specific chemical path) began to appear, which are notably tolerant of O2-rich atmospheric conditions. Oxygen may actually have been lower than today through most of the period.
The high oxygen levels of some periods (particularly the carboniferous) reduced the disadvantages of a passive respiratory system, allowing arthropods and amphibians to get much bigger than they otherwise could. But a "giant dragonfly" is still dwarfed by modern birds of prey.
Best thing about Tyrannosaurus is that irl it would absolutely see you, wether you stood still or not - even if you hid, it has been suggested through scans of the skull, that it had a sense of smell comparable to a tyrannosaur-sized dog.
Tyrannosaurus literally outcompeted most of its contemporary rivals - even predators of totally different size-categories were outcompeted by young tyrannosaurs - their prey at the time evolved to the extremes - with Triceratops, super-armored Ankylosaurs, or Hadrosaurs whos only defense was sheer numbers allowing the luckiest to grow to a size where they could - with some luck - outwrestle a Tyrannosaur (Hadrosaur fossils sometimes come with Tyrannosaur bite-marks, showing they were bitten - and then survived to live further)
simply put it is one of the most advanced and most intelligent dinosaurs of all time (if not the most in both categories) and is the true danger (not Velociraptors/dromaeosaurs).
In the book Grant theorized that the rex's vision was based on movement by watching how it was reacting and knowing the frog DNA was probably the reason.
And the vision off of movement was even debunked in The Lost World novel. Interestingly enough, all the mannerisms and stuff were observed by the characters during their trials at the park, but in the movie they somehow know raptor social hunting patterns?
@@richardjohnson5435 It was clearly a device that was going to be revisited later in the movie but yeah Grant knowing about it was weird. And it was even more weird considering Muldoon was supposed to be the foremost expert (to the point even Grant deferred to him) but didn't know that behavior himself. One of the rare bigger flaws of the movie.
33:27 pro-tip: if you want to test if a cable has electricity, touch with the back of your hand. If there is enough electricity to stimulate your nerves, your hand will close away from the cable instead of on it. Or better yet, use a multimeter.
41:18 yes, the technology is plausible. The non-plausible part is finding DNA that is millions of years old. Species that went extinct in the past few centuries could be revived, at least in theory.
Clever Girl!
They never say in the movie but do in the book. Some animals eat rocks to help them digest plants they can't do on their own. They are called gizzard stones. Some reptiles, birds etc do it. So the triceratops was eating the stones, and along with them, the west Indian lilac. When the stones become smooth, they regurgitate them to make way for more. In doing so they were throwing up the evidence of the berries which is why she didn't find any in the poop. But they are making her sick before she throws them up.
I LOVE it whenever Spielberg does horror! JAWS, POLTERGEIST, JURASSIC PARK even INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM-- all classics! I think he produced ( but didn't direct) GREMLINS!
As for the dinosaurs falling into a coma and dying, I assume like many other creatures, the dinos eventually grew accustomed to their new 20th century environment and developed an immunity to that fate!
Hi Aria just found your channel and you made me happy laugh right away, without even trying. Because of the editing in the beginning the picture went down to show Mini Mouse just as you said " isn't that a dinosaur" 😂😂😂 that was epic 😂😂😊
😂😂
There's lots of good movies out there nowadays, but the jurassic park franchise is one of my all time favorites. I've seen this one so many times on my own and in reaction videos. I enjoy the jurassic world series also, though ik other people don't care for them.
Jeff Goldblum (Dr. Ian Malcolm) steals the show... again! He's the absolute best thing in this movie besides the dinosaurs.
His quirky sense of dry comedic timing is legendary.
I'm glad you got to see this neuvoclassic film Aria! Too bad you werent able to experience it in a theater with BIG bass.
This was the first movie I saw in theaters where someone threw their popcorn in the air. They don't make movies like that anymore.
Aria this comment has nothing to do with this movie, it's just that this is the movie I discovered your channel. I went to your reaction to The Green Mile and saw you were saying people gave you trouble for not crying in Saving Private Ryan watched that reaction and you were saying the same thing about other movies. Don't listen to them, I myself am a combat veteran, and although a lot of movies and scenes especially if they involve kids or dogs, make me very sad even if I don't cry. So there is nothing wrong with you not crying 😭. In the reaction to Saving Private Ryan you spoke about what soldiers see and how it effects them and their family. A great movie to show your point is true story American Sniper 😊
Aria, this it´s an adaptation of a book wroten by Michael Crichton. The book it´s sooo god and the film as well a jewel!!
When the mommy dinosaur loves the daddy dinosaur very much, they give each other a special cuddle. And that's how they make dinosaurs.
Dino’s are breaking out and wreaking havoc, Alan Lex and Tim are lost, Ian is injured, a (real) hurricane has just rolled through and probably destroyed a lot of stuff and the worst part is that Ellie is wearing shorts in a jungle.
That really was the worse part
When I was barely 5, I went to Kenya with my mother. Safari was lame, we barely saw more than a Giraffe's neck or a couple of elephants on the whole trip... All that with being obliged to keep the mosquito nets on the beds every night.
DNA can't stay intact for that long, a couple of dozens of thousands years at most. DNA self decays in much less time that the time of the dinos extinction happened. Oh, they actually tried to find some but that particular research made us learn about the decay of DNA and launched a new era in dinosaurs research. Since then we learned that dinos skin wasn't bare but covered in proto feathers with colors and stuff. The lung system functions more like birds with a third chamber to allow the continuous assimilation of oxygen during the breathing process and keep those big muscles fed with fresh blood..
Fortunately, the duration of DNA prevents us to live such a catastrophic scenario. The closest we could come up with would be a virtual park like a video game Jurassic Park Evolution that we could regularly update with latest discoveries.
35:03 - That scene jumpscared us in the theater. I was front row. We all jumped, looked at each other and laughed. 😉
40:36 - yeah, they didn't pursue that plot point. That way they could do sequels.
Ah, they did pursue it, though it wasn't a huge focus. In The Lost World, early on, Sarah fills Ian in how the lysine contingency failed to stop the dinosaurs on Sorna - basically, they just have a lysine-rich diet. This is also pursued in the original novel, where dinosaurs that escape to the mainland feed on soy beans, chickens etc to get their lysine. It's an example of how unprepared Jurassic Park was - they didn't stop to consider how animals they don't really understand would get around obstacles they set in their way because they rushed to commercialize them. Indeed, there are plenty of animals that can't metabolize lysine but get by fine because of their diet...including humans.
Re: 41:20 - They can't bring the dinosaurs back from the blood sucked by mosquitos, because DNA does not stay usefull for tens of millions years. However, scientist might be able to manipulate DNA of chickens and other birds and create dinosaurs that way. That's what I've heard, but I'm not a specialist in this or in any other field. (Woolly mammoths did go into extinction only 10 000 years ago and they could possibly return very easily - compared to dinosaurs - with the help of female elephants and so on... you can Google that if you feel like it, there's lots of articles about that).
Yes, wooly mammoth DNA is available, and being re-created.
This is one of my all-time favourite movies for many reasons, but the best part of watching reactions is generally because of all the scares. xD
"The Dinosaurs may die if they don't get the "Stuff"... As Jeff pointed out, "Life finds a way"... Life Adapts and Evolves and Each Dominant Species has a beginning and an end to make way for something else.
My first time coming across this channel and I can say this: real pretty hair.
That's all.
😊
WE may not be at the science stage where we can do this YET.
But life can.
There is no stopping nature. There was a time when flying or traveling over 30 MPH were considered impossible. The military is capable of doing things that most of us would consider impossible.
Just because people think it is impossible does not mean it is not being done.
I love this movie. And the sequels too. Jurassic Park might be the only media franchise that I, personally, cannot think objectively about, because I love it so much. I know a lot of people have issues with the sequel trilogy, Jurassic World, but I can't help loving it.
Jeff Goldblum charisma it´s too much!!
Woohoo! I've been waiting for you to see this one! Like I told you in your last video, the original novel by Michael Crichton is even more amazing! If you can find a copy, buy it and read it! You won't regret it! Fair warning though, the book is MUCH more graphic than the movie. But you said you wanted to see that in your intro, so... 😅🦕🦖
Can't wait to read the book
@ariac2693 Before you do, I should tell you in advance, while the overall plot is the same, there are a few differences, and several of the characters are very different, especially Grant, Gennaro and Hammond. And like I said, it tells an even bigger and grander story than the movie.
@@ariachanson01 Michael Crichton always made the things in his books seem to be possible through science. Well science-fiction sometimes does come to pass.
Also to note that they did a novelization of the movie. Glad my friend had a copy of the original work.
These movies are so much fun, aren't they? Good one, Aria. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
They are indeed!!! Thanks for watching:) ❤
According to a paper written by van der Valk T, Pečnerová P, Díez-Del-Molino D, Bergström A, Oppenheimer J, Hartmann S, et al. the upper boundary for being able to sequence a preserved genome is 1.65 million years. Anything significantly older (say 68 to 66 million years for T-Rex) would be too damaged to make any sense out of.
I wouldn't trust a scientist for 1 damn second when it comes to millions of years, all guesswork.
I didn't even realize DNA could be preserved for that long. Plus, I am just guessing that the paper's upper limit was for best case scenario, i.e. some type of cryogenics prep and storage. For the mosquito preserved in amber, there would be heat decomposition, plus pressure as the mosquito is buried deeper and deeper. And finally, mold and fungus would also effect it too.
@@MichFedorchak it was actually a mammoth stuck in ice and the oldest known strand that we know of!
@@MichFedorchak Oxygen is actually the first effect and why that method is nonviable. Amber is not air tight and oxygen makes things decompose much, much faster. It also allows water to enter and water destroys DNA almost on contact.
This genre is sometimes called techno-horror. A super reaction. Thanks.
For the record, when the movie or any movie talks about the dangers of bringing back dinos in broad terms, or speaks about "they had their chance and nature replaced them," at the time of this movie, the idea of the asteroid hitting the earth 65-66 million years and wiping out most was just being discussed. There are many many ways some dinos were far more advanced then mammals in such features as vision and breathing. Dinos had hollow bones which allowed them to get so big. Also allowed some to develop flight.
Speaking of which, it is now recognized that while birds descended from dinos, they also ARE dinosaurs, technically "avian dinosaurs." (Just like we humans are descended from apes but also still are apes.)
The meteor hypothesis was way older than 1993. It was first presented in 1980 and had its foundations in 1978....but the actual impact zone was found in 1990 so I'll give you that.
Generally it was presented (and still is somewhat) as a multi-cause extinction ranging from sea level changes to volcanoes, atmospheric and solar changes, to even the mentioned mammals out-competing them stuff.
Also birds are reptiles and every vertebrate animal is technically a fish because of the line of descent.
DNA half life is about 500 years, so, after 100 million years there'd be not much left, lol
If you're curious about what was wrong with the trike, want more information on breeding and the consequences, as well as know what they decided to do with this island, I would highly recommend picking up a copy of the book. The first book already had problems with animals getting off the island. There is more than enough material they couldn't fit into the movie to make it feel like a whole new adventure, and you get real answers to things they had to leave hanging. The second book has almost nothing in common with the rest of the series so, again, you can enjoy a different story if you feel inclined. This was fun, thank you.
I can fully understand that scene was to scary as a little kid. At least now you can enjoy the movie to it's fullest.
24:12 I think part of all of us did.
An other great reaction, you have become one of my favorite reactors. So keep up the good work and have a wonderful day.
I loved Jurassic Park. It was the movie that introduced me to dinosaurs when I was very little and it was one of the movies that got me hooked on learning about science and genetics. While I would think it be very cool to see in today's world, even with current security technology, it would still be too dangerous. We are still learning so much about animals in our current time and even if somehow we could have a 100% pure DNA strand to revive these creatures instead of the workaround this series had, there is no way we would understand its intelligence and behaviors. It would be like parading a live grenade around and messing with it without knowing what a grenade is. Its just asking for someone to pull the pin and blow up.
They can't bring Dinos back that easy. Yes there were mosquitoes and other blood sucking creatures back then. And plenty are preserved in amber. However, even after the creatures died their digestive enzymes continued to break their last blood meal down to the point that it is extremely hard to even get small DNA fragments from it. They likely could never get enough DNA that way to bring Dinos back in real life.
I was a kid when this movie came out and I remember how excited I was to see it. I had the pre-release magazines for it and treasured them. But my parents were a bit concerned the movie would be too violent for me to watch yet. I had to convince them to let me watch it. And boy, when I saw it for the first time, it was amazing.
I'm so glad that you reaction to my most favorite Dinosaur movie Jurassic Park, Your reaction is Perfect and so cute. Great job Aria and I'm sure you can reaction to New movie called Jurassic World: Domination. 🌹❤️💖🌺💮🌸
"Spared no expense"? Then where are the backup generators for the fences?
Ask John Hammond😂
Saludó desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo
Hi Aria ❤ I really love your reaction to Jurassic park I hope the other Jurassic movies are next on your list You know John Williams did a very good job with the music🎶🦖🦕🦕🦕
Heeyy. Found me a new reactor. :) Let the great journey begin.
Dilophosaurs are tricky buggers. At 1:11:55, after Nedry has crashed, he looks at the sign and says "There's the road." The sign's arrow points straight up. Moments later, at 1:12:17 after he has slipped and slid down the hill, the same sign now points left. Obviously, the dilophosaurs are running around switching the signs to confuse him, to better be able to hunt. :)
Those are the time stamps in the actual movie, by the way, not in the reaction video. So don't use the auto-links.
Wow, I didn't notice that
wouldnt it be a different sign (in the same font...like they do in Disneyland: all the signs are identical fonts and mountings) because he picked up enough speed to crash through the brush and down an embankment. If it was the same sign just a few feet away, I dont think his jeep (i have a jeep...depressingly slow to accelerate while merging into traffic) would be able to accelerate fast enough to bust through anything...it would be slow and controlled..
What I find amazing is that while Steven Spielberg was making this film he was also doing pre-production work on Schindler's List in Poland often teleconferencing with his AD's about shooting schedules and scene setups. I will say this movie ranks as one of my favorite movies I saw in the theater. I was just as awe struck as when I saw The Matrix or the original Star Wars when I was 12. Aria you and other reactors I have watched complaining about the sound have to remember that the sound of these older movies never considered anyone watching with headphones on. Sound was a very important consideration back then and a necessary tool in movies like this. That's why in Jaws there's that shrill noise when Ben Gardener's head pops out to enhance the jump scare. I can only imagine how that sounds through headphones.
I imagine the sound must have been great in the theatres
@@ariachanson01 When the T-Rex roared, the floors shook. They spared no expense.
Doctor Grant's description of Velociraptor hunting behavior could be forshadowing Muldune's death but honestly I think it's more a homage to Henry Wu's death in the source material.
Aria thanks Dad is just American sarcasm.
Can't wait for your reaction to the lost world!!
I LOVE this movie. The sequel, too. I saw it four times in the theater as a kid when it first came out (I know, I'm old).
Yes, getting dinosaur DNA like that is, at this time, impossible. DNA literally falls apart after a few million years.
My only real complaint is that people confuse the moral of the story sometimes. It's not "Dinosaurs = evil." They were just animals doing what they do. It's about the dangers of creation without understanding and rushing to exploit scientific knowledge. Honestly, done properly, there's no reason why it COULDN'T work.
People making mammoth meat feels like that
You have a remarkably soothing voice , have you considered doing a series of book at bedtime readings , maybe a selection of interesting short stories would work well... just a thought
I do recommend you continue on the Jurassic Park / Jurassic World Adventure.
27:11 "You left him _alone,_ here? What if the T-Rex comes back?"
He knows how to handle the T-Rex. Remember? Dr. Grant told him that T-Rex's visual acuity is based on _movement._ If you don't move, she can't differentiate you from the _landscape._
Another classic! I love that you probably still have a lot of movies like these as a "first time watching" reaction on your list. Please try to add "American Beauty" to your list, it is a very good drama 😉
Will do... Thankyou:)
You’ll love the T. Rex in the 3rd one:)
Bruh you had to do it
Love how Hammond says "Spared no expense" so much, but if you look around you can see he did cheap out, if he had paid Nedry properlly then he wouldnt have hacked the systems and crashed everything, if he had listened to the game wardon, he would have killed the Raptors, but hammond was too focused on marketing the park and showing off, even in the embryo storage some of the dino names are misspelled showing that is another thing he cheaped out on.
Yes, I think it is worth to note, that though Nedry was the one to start the aktual breakdown in the movie, the downfall would be inevitable also without him. Hammond spared a lot of expenses on security. On the technical side: no car locks, only one guy really fully understanding the computer systems , only single fences, totally depending on electricity, never having tested a restart before... And on the biological side: No real understanding of the animals and their power and their needs: Only females - didn't work! Lysene discontinuity - didn't work (though this will be only apparent in the next movies). The Triceratops was sick for a reason and even the sneezing Brachiosaurus was a hint. And so on.
That is not an excuse for Nedry though!
I broadly follow science as a hobby and as far as I'm aware the only thing preventing them from bringing back dinos from mosquitos is the half life of the DNA. Basically, even preserved like that in amber, DNA from dinos will have decayed beyond practical use for cloning. But everything else about it is viable. Theoretically we could use this method on things that were more recently extinct. I think things like the wooly mammoth are more in the viable range. I think the half life of DNA restricts to the scale of thousands of years, so dinos are way too old at millions of years old.
Hello Aria C., mosquitos back in the old ays were quite large much much larger than now. It is the reason tennis rackets were invented.
"these are the GOOD ONES, they EAT LEAVES" In other words, they're not BAD ONES that would EAT ME. LOL
The computer guy, Wayne Knight, played Newman, Jerry's nemesis, on the Seinfeld comedy series. He also played the cop, Officer Don, on Third Rock From the Sun comedy series.
BTW I use Barbasol shaving cream, $1.84 at Walmart. I spare no expense. ;o)
wayne knight was afraid he was going to be fired from seinfeld because the day he filmed his death scene the ink from the fake venom stained his face and would not wash off and he had to film an episode that day. I guess they didn't mind or concealed it well enough.
@@scottb3034 Interesting that that filming overlapped. Never heard of that. Knowing the Seinfeld show I'm sure they could've figured out a way to work that in if they wanted to. If they could a show about nothing that would've been easy. ;o)
@@bintheredonethat It is from an anecdote in an interview with Shannon Shea who was an artist for Stan Winston at the time. So it would seem to have credence but then he also made the claim that Stan Winston was pushing for feathered dinosaurs at the time but that Spielberg adamantly shot him down (that doesn't seem to hold water since A) Dinosaurs with feathers had almost no connection at the time B) Spielberg would definitely not be opposed to doing that considering he was all about using modern science at the time and Jack Horner, Greg Paul & Robert Bakker were consultants as well). So who knows if it is 100% true but he was a crew member on the film so i would think it wouldn't be a lie.
One thing I know was true is that he did the paint job on the baby triceratops that was going to appear in the original movie and Lex was going to ride but was disappointed when they cut it out.
Agree with your assessment btw LOL
I hope you continue watching the rest of the trilogy and the Jurassic world films this reaction was fun
Birds are a type of dinosaur so they really didn't go 100% extinct.. Just certain branches of it..
I found this one late. So yes, the DNA thing is Not possible, however, what Is possible is scientists potentially bringing back Mammoths, Mastodons, Smilodons (sabertoothed cat), so on.
When it comes to Nedry's demise, there is 2 Dilo's. The one he meets by the tree, and the one that went into the jeep since he left the door open.
They have actually found mosquitoes incased in Amber. However there is no DNA that could be gotten from them. I would suggest you either read the book this movie is based on or listen to the audiobook of it. You can get the audiobook at Audible or you can listen to it on TH-cam.
The Jurassic franchise along with the Eyewitness Dinosaur show and Eyewitness Dinosaur software all got me into liking dinosaurs as my top favorite real life animals along with model and animating dinosaurs.
Everybody is arguing about the
DNA issue while missing the
truly preposterous scene:T Rex could never digest a lawyer!
20:06 Let me point something out about this _situation_ Dennis Nedry is in. He explained in that phone call, earlier, that he had run a _drill_ for this and it took him 20 _minutes._ I've gotten the impression, though, from this movie, that that drill depended on nice _weather._ Now that he has to cope with a _downpour_ with heavy rain and _wind,_ he's _lost._
Can he get to the dock? No. He doesn't know where it _is._ Can he get back to the _command_ center? No. He doesn't know where it _is._ He's lost, in a downpour, on an island with _dinosaurs_ roaming unrestrained.
Great reaction! Hope you do the whole series, they're so much fun :)
I saw this at the drive in in 93 and again at the drive in 2019 on a double bill with Jaws it was great
Of course it’s Samuel L Jackson.
”Spared no expense”, remember? 😉😎
Right😂
The novel originally featured a giant bird cage housing pterosaurs, but they didn't have the budget for it in the film. Also: Hammond is a giant prick in the book 😂
Just because plant-eaters don't eat meat, it doesn't make them non-dangerous. In fact, MANY plant-eating animals are more violent and aggressive than meat-eaters. Sure meat-eaters hunt because they need to eat, but a plant-eater will attack if it ever feels threatened, and that is VERY easy to make them feel unsafe
Meat-eaters can't let themselves get hurt because if they get hurt, they can't hunt for food, and will starve. In fact if a meat-eater feels threatened, they'll try to scare you away rather than attack. A plant-eater will attack
Yeah the blood will have long since deteriorated. It’s a fun idea but the blood would have broken down millions of years ago, if it was an animal from a couple of hundred years ago *maybe*, but the insect DNA will have contaminated it anyway so pretty much impossible.
In response to your statement, yes Hammond IS a fun guy, and generous too. I hear he donated an organ (a Hammond Organ, to be specific) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Hammond wasn't Dennis' dad ... Dennis was just being a smart-alecky smart-ass ... that was actually a real dumbass.
I think, when they were in the Jeep, driving away from the T-Rex and it was gaining on them, it was funny that they hunter guy looked in the sideview mirror to see how close it was, and they focused on the little sign that's always there in the mirror that says, "Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear".
Finally, yes, they CAN do this, but no one has done it yet. They've been thinking about creating a Woolly Mammoth, but others would be possible if they could find the DNA.
They can't do it with dinosaurs though. The technology to recreate animals from DNA exists, but DNA breaks down over time, millions of years is way too long ago to ever find any.
@@WJS774 I hear ya, and on the surface, this is true. But, as we know about scientists, they are often wrong. We don't really know if there could be DNA that has somehow survived ... preserved in some way.
Even in the movie, they weren't TRUE dinosaurs, as they used parts of the DNA from frogs to fill in the missing pieces. However, even though that's a stretch, it may be possible.
Think about it ... we used to KNOW that you couldn't push more data down a wire than 1200 baud (bits per second), but now we push gigabytes. We did it by thinking about the problem in a different way and using different techniques, first by using compression, then by other materials, etc.
We are constantly being told that this can't be done, and that can't be done, but then, someone does it. Maybe DNA isn't the only answer. Maybe we can reverse engineer the DNA, like hackers reverse engineer programs ... by, looking at the end result and figuring out what needed to happen for the end result to be possible.
IDK, it's all speculative, and I know it can't happen now, but I'm an optimist.
Hello Aria C., " Hammond " played " The Big X " in " The Great Escape ".
Terrifying fact about Tyrannosaurus Rex:
Their eyesight was not movement-based in real life, they had vision as sharp as an eagle.
And you wouldn't hear its footsteps unless it stepped on branches
Aside from the dinosaurs, one of the things we get in the movie is Alan Grant going from not really caring about kids to changing his mind about them.
The cgi was impressive when the movie came out. And most of the practical effects still do today.
Stan Winstons team went full bore on the puppets
The CGI still looks excellent.
