- Welcome to our Jurassic Park (1993) reaction! This is our first time watching this film in over two decades and there is lot's to talk about. Is Jurassic Park still good 31 years later?
In "Jurassic Park," we journey to Isla Nublar, where billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has created a theme park featuring cloned dinosaurs. Hold on to your butts as we react to Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) face the thrilling and dangerous reality of living dinosaurs.
We were truly amazed by the practical effects in this film and how they still hold up to this day. There was so much we didn't remember about this film but boy was it fun revisiting such a classic and an icon in cinema history.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the film's groundbreaking special effects, suspenseful storyline, and unforgettable characters. From the breathtaking scenes of the T. rex breakout to the nail-biting raptor chase, this movie is a rollercoaster of emotions!

Ooooo space here! Great idea for a re-watch. I won't say best movie 🍿🎥 but I'll say one of the most perfect EVER made. So detailed like the DNA cartoon. When I was a kid and we watched a lot of films, one was on electricity called READY KILOWATT!! Great Job Yuze Two!! 🕊️☮️
You are probably my favorite reactors and I have seen countless. Because you're not reactors at all, you genuinely go in depth and care about the dynamics of film making. Not just going for shock value for likes. I have watched your Lord of the Rings videos a few times and love it. There's something about enjoying things vicariously. Keep up the great work. Godspeed!
By the way, there’s a good scene is James Cameron’s Sci-fi docuseries where he interviews Steven Spielberg and they discuss Jurassic Park. Cameron reveals that he read the advance copy of Jurassic Park and immediately tried to get the rights, but it turned out Spielberg had beaten him to it already. Cameron admitted he was briefly sore about it, but when he watched the film, he said Spielberg had the better vision for the adaptation. Cameron said he would have made it like Aliens with a hard R rating and bloody violence.
When I heard that, I was like “yeah yeah yeah Spielberg made a classic, ok, so when does YOUR version go into production, Mr. Cameron?”
_“Without John Williams, bikes don’t really fly. Nor do brooms in Quidditch matches. Nor do men in red capes. There is no Force. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. We do not wonder. We do not weep. We do not believe.“_ - Stephen Spielberg
Oh wow! That is deep!
John Williams is also pretty humble… One of my favorite stories/anecdotes about him is a story that Steven Spielberg likes to tell
When he was making shadows list (consequently he was making it while making this film) he had asked John to score of the film… To which John Williams responded that “you really should try to find a brilliant Jewish composer for this film” (Paraphrasing of course) and Steven replied “yeah I know, but they’re all dead”
Which to some kind of sound flippant lol… But the implication was that he was the greatest living composer for film and he literally couldn’t find anyone alive who could do it
I don't think you have tried hard enough to make a bike fly.
@@DoughnutJelly55 lol, actually, your comment reminds me of when we'd set up a planc on a cinder block, like a ramp, and jump our bicycles -- doing our best Evel Knievel imitation! We didn't exactly 'fly', but for a fraction of a second, it sure felt like it! 😲😁
@@DoughnutJelly55 Tried during my youthful backyard wrestling and "Xtreme sports" phase. Most of those times ended in something akin to "Ah! My balls!" Or general shouts of pain.
One of my favorite bits I learned later as an adult is early on in the helicopter, when Grant can't fit the two Female ends together, he 'finds a way.' Great foreshadowing
HOLY COW THAT IS GENIUS!!! Great catch!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Jurassic Park sequels and franchises did Jurassic Park 3 is the best
Clever girl
Oh my God
Holy shit...🤯
Here's a fun fact that has been stuck in my head for 30 years.
The iconic water cup was actually really difficult to create. They spent weeks trying to figure out how to get the perfect ripples. By accident it was discovered that placing the glass on a guitar and plucking the strings created the ripples, so they ran a guitar string from bottom of the glass to the bottom of the car and plucked it. Perfect ripples. One of those cool super simple solutions that just need someone to think of them.
That's why Spielberg is the GOAT.
@@DakotaMambaPrescott244 He is indeed the GOAT, but in this case the credit goes to special effects supervisor Michael Lantieri. He was playing guitar with his son when they discovered it.
@@JakobBerry I always like learning about the background things on movies. I like looking at the imdb pages for things like this
@@rainbowpegacornstudios I think you might have responded to the wrong comment.
@@JakobBerry I did. Sorry. I lost a comment that said "Brontosaurus" and I meant to put *Brachiosaurus there.
15:34 "Wow. The amount of effort they put into all of this... look at this!"
Spared no expense.
I love that you can vividly recall the wonder of that first moment seeing the dinosaurs from watching as a kid, but none of the plot details..... which makes sense, since in that moment as a child you were just as spellbound as the characters when first seeing REAL DINOS. Perfect example of how movies can truly transport you if they're done right!
John Williams' score in this film can't get praised enough. It's wondrous, dreadful, chilling, majestic and beautiful all in one. Bless him for all the musical achievements he has done for us.
I was a teenager on a date when I watched this in the theaters. When the T Rex gets the dude on the toilet, kids started screaming, parents were picking their kids up and running out of the theater. It was wild. Seeing the bronto for the first time was “the” experience of a lifetime.
My aunt Linda took me to see it when I was 7. When the raptor jumped out of the tubes in the maintenance shed, she screamed and covered MY eyes. I tried to push her off, but she had a death grip on my face. Lol
There is not brontosaurus in this movie. I think you want to say Brachiosaurus. The apatosaurus (other name for brontosaurus) is first seen in jurassic world
@@deather6412 AcTuAlLy
@@deather6412 1). let's not be pedantic over this. We all knew what they were talking about. 2). Brontosaurus was deemed a valid genus of sauropod distinct from Apatosaurus in 2015.
@@bakedAK85 Exactly. And as long as we're gettin' all cerebral...travelin' down this intellectual road, it was ALSO the one that Fred Flintstone operated at the quarry! :)
This won three Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects, Sound Mixing, and Sound Effects Editing.
Ben Burtt sound effects wonder
Well earned
Very deservedly so, especially for the sound. The screeches of the velociraptors and the roar of the T-Rex are absolutely blood-curdling, to this day.
The sound design was done by Gary Rydstrom, pretty much the protégé of Ben Burtt and he would go on to do sound work for many other legendary films, becoming a sound legend himself alongside Ben
And Steven Spielberg won Best Director and John Williams won for Best Score...for a TOTALLY different movie!
I’ll never forget watching this in the theater on opening weekend one week before my ENTIRE family when to Universal Studios Hollywood for our big trip… like 60% of the park was FULLY decked out as Jurassic Park… I was 10 and it was incredible
Wow! That sounds amazing. What a cool memory to have!
Islands of adventure, the Jurassic park water ride, is instilled into my childhood memory.
I was 19 and a new immigrant. I had read about “THX Theaters” in magazines but never had the chance to watch a movie in one, until that summer in L.A.
Wasn’t in a big cineplex, AMC Theaters in Old Town Pasadena, speakers all around, totally worth it just for the T-Rex intro alone.
I'm from India and that was the first film that I watched in theaters with my mom and brother as kid ❤ and Still got attached with those franchise 🎉
I saw this in theaters when I was 8. My brother was 10, and My uncle took us because he was awesome. I specifically remember because the theater was at the Fairview Mall, just north of Toronto in Canada. The movie theater sits on top of the mall, so you have to take a specific escalator from the food court in order to get there. Things have gotten smaller since then, but that moment became my gold standard for going to the movies. I am certain that it is way better in my memory, but I only know of 2 people who can tell me otherwise.
Funfact: If you closely look at the outfits Dennis Nedrey wears in the movie (the hacker guy) youll notice he is cosplaying Goonies in the different scenes hes in. Thats always my favorite detail
He’s also , most famously, NEWMAN!!!! from Seinfeld 😂
didnt know that. thanks for posting. I'll be on the lookout
I can gladly say that I would not be who I am today without this movie. My passion for prehistoric life, my drive to pursue animation as a career, and my love for film came from this. Thank you for giving this film another breath in modern media! The quality holds up so well and it showcases the balance between practical and computer effects!
Would LOVE to see y'all react to the other Jurassic movies!
We will definitely continue this journey! This film impacted millions of people’s lives and it’s great to see so many of you share the love you have for this with us. Thank you for stopping by ❤️
I just love the fact that Sam L. has reached such an iconic status that when you spot him in a film the reaction may be “What?!” “Is that…” “I thought I heard HIS voice.” 😏
I love the layers of this film. As a kid, it was a cool dinosaur movie. As a teen, it's a scary movie. As an adult, it's a frightening dissection of wealth, hubris, and capitalism-first scientific exploration. There's a reason Dr. Oppenheimer has a photo cameo in this film. It's truly a timeless and essential movie.
It is an incredibly well executed film. From the plot to the action they nailed every aspect of it. As an adult the plot went way deeper than we recalled. The film had something to say and it does it in such an entertaining way.
It's funny as a kid I found the "lunch" scene boring as hell and would often skip it in my excitment for DINOS! As an adult, its easily the best scene in the movie lol
@KS-xk2so I can agree, it's the same for me too, I loved the action scenes as a kid and older I grew to appreciate the writing, cinematography, direction, of course the music, everything so much more! It got better! It was an A+ for me as a kid and as an adult it's still an A+ It's honestly what I would call "A Blockbuster Film" not a movie, a film, everything works so perfectly and its textbook how you make popcorn entertainment the right way, same as Jaws, Star Wars and others, also I love the Mr DNA scene, that should be taught in film school as a great way to deliver expososition without it being boring or cliche.
Both the movie and book it's based on is a story about the repercussions of trying to play God and mess with nature. An allegory for Frankenstein. The illusion of control and the consequences of treating your creation as a commodity.
Incase you're wondering why the kitchen freezer floor was wet and slippery (and the door open) when Tim ran for it, think back to Hammond and Elle's conversation earlier at the table. What were they eating? Ice cream! Hammond had gone to the freezer to get the tub of ice cream and left the door open. One of my favorite details.
Huh, I just figured that the freezer went off when they lost power, hence the wet floor. I guess two things can be true.
And they were in a warm climate, so it wouldn't necessarily take too long for things to warm up and melt.
THIS MOVIE IS STILL AMAZING 31 YEARS LATER!!!!!!!! JOHN WILLIAMS AMAZING SCORE!!!!!! Last year Dad and I saw JURASSIC PARK IN THEATERS for its 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!! It was awesome!!!!!!!!!
John Williams absolutely killed it! I mean the man has got some serious talent to the point we cannot decide which one of his scores is our favorite.
@@OfficialMediaKnights RIGHT!?!?!? He is one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME COMPOSERS!!!!!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights FYI THE MARIO CHARACTER YOSHI IS A VELOCIRAPTOR
@@OfficialMediaKnights YOU NEED TO WATCH THE MOVIE THE ABYSS
WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?
One of my favorite memories is watching this when I was young on my grandparents' old fat booty big screen TV after my grandpa left for his night shift. Grandma made some stovetop popcorn and we had the volume up loud. I remember her saying "I forgot how good of a movie this is!"
Also, the book this film is based on is really, really good and really, really brutal.
That’s a sweet memory! Thank you for sharing with us. Love seeing how much this film means to people ❤️
I swear, when you combine Steven Spielberg with John Williams' music, you get cinema magic. That Brachiosaurus scene still blows my mind.
The warmth of that score will always move me, it's like a cuddle in a bath during winter
I remember being a kid seeing that scene, it still is burned into my head 20 years later. The only way I could improve on that moment is, funny enough, the Lego Jurassic Park game where you could walk up to the brachio in actual gameplay. I got the exact same feeling of heartswelling wonder.
Nobody does awe and wonder quite like Williams.
I love to rewatch movies because you always notice something you missed before
Media Knights: I remember this guy, yeah wasn't he a meme?
Me: (in my best Jerry Seinfeld voice) Hello Newman 😅
on a side note: for all the kids who went to see this on the big screen, excited to see dinosaurs "irl" when they go in... and exhibiting signs of PTSD when they come out, traumatized.
and the girl playing Lex, a few years earlier played Mindy, the girl on the pogo stick, in the movie Tremors.
😅 never knew that have to rewatch those
Just saw that in a Dawn Marie reaction to that movie. 🙂
And the boy, Tim is played by Joseph Mazzello, who amongst other roles, played John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody.
This franchise holds a special place in my heart it was the first movies i saw with my adopted family they heard that i like dinosaurs so they got me the first 3 on vhs
That's heartwarming
I've seen this film hundreds of times now and I STILL get that emotional swell every single time.
How could you not!? With that incredible score and the awe inspiring visuals😄
slacker
Dennis Nedry was cosplaying as The Goonies during the movie. First he was Chunk in his Hawaiian shirt, then he was Mouth in his Members Only jacket, then he was Mikey in his yellow rain jacket.
Fun Fact: The child actor playing Tim appears in the film "Bohemian Rapsody" as John Deacon, the bassist in the band "Queen".
He also played Eugene Sledge in The Pacific, one of the best and most emotional arcs in that WW2 series
I don't recognize that Joe Mazello, who plays John Deacon from "Bohemian Rhapsody" was in this film as Tim Murphy. In 2018 when I was in fourth year high school, just watched in the theaters for the Freddie Mercury biopic and we we're obssessed with them because of their songs.
One of the absolute biggest movies that came out in my lifetime.
Unbelievable that Spielberg made this movie and Schindlers list the same year 😲😲😲.
What a GOAT man 💪💪💪
I know right! I think Spielberg said that when he was doing post-production on Jurassic Park and pre production on Schindlers List at the same time, he had like a mini explosion in his head during that time because he doesn't remember a lot of it 😂 I can definitely understand that. Also I believe that Jurassic Park sweeped the technical Oscar's and Schindlers List swept a lot of the major awards like Best Picture, Writing and many more
In all the other movies, Parks and Worlds, there is never a dino quite as iconic sounding as the Momma Rex.
Which is why its great that every movie featured Rexy.
Even paleontologists who debunk the dinosaur vocals admit these movies were fantastic.
@@Knightcowboy89Pretty sure they were different Rex's in 2 and maybe 3, no? Remember there are 2 islands.
Yes. There are multiple some of them are not seen in movie. In the lost world we have Buck and Doe and their child Junior. And in jp3 there's Bull who is the biggest rex of isla sorna
Or as a lot of other fans still call her, "Rexie." 😁😁😁 She was my favorite dinosaur in the film franchise. Blue, is my second favorite. I saw this film with my late parents when I was 12 and holy crap, was it a wild experience!!! The whole theatre floor shook every time Rexie stomped onto the screen. Jumped when the damn raptors kept popping up out of nowhere and to this day, at 43, still CANNOT watch Dennis Nedry's death scene. Call me weird stupid, silly, whatever, but I stand by my choice. The first time I allowed myself to watch it for the first time was when I was in my 20's. I never made that mistake again!!! I was traumatized. Yikes!!! But everything else I'm cool with. I've seen this film, I don't, at least 100 times since I was 12. And I turn 44 in October. Yeah, you can say I love JP. 😂😂😂 The second JP film is called "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" and only one of the Core 3 returns. "Jurassic Park 3" which get waaay too much unnecessary hate but I happen to love it and think it's 100x better than Jurassic Park: The Lost World," has two members of the Core 3 in it but one get a lot more screen time than the other. As for the "Jurassic World(s)" movies in the Jurassic Park franchise...I'll wait on that!!! I think I may have overloaded you two with information...and scrambled my brains in the process!!! Great reaction!!!
Thanks for noticing "objects in the mirror are larger than they appear". You're the first reviewers I've seen to mention that. Sometimes it's the little things. Great reaction as always.
1. This is my favorite Spielberg movie as well as my #3 all-time favorite movie.
2. While the movie is faithful to the spirit of the book it's based on, nothing in the movie goes 100% exactly like how it went in the book. But the biggest detail they left out was they not only brought Grant, Satler, and Malcolm to the island to get their safety endorsement, but also their hypothesis on whether or not the island was escape-proof. Because there had been reports of Dino encounters on the mainland of Costa Rica, so they wanna know if some of them actually managed to escape. That's where the whole "Dinosaurs breeding in the wilds" thing came into play. And the book ended with the Costa Rican government bombing the island as our heroes are flown out via helicopter.
3. The special effects of this film have an interesting history, as Spielberg hired the best VFX maestros he could get at the time.
-Stan Winston, for the life-sized animatronic Dinosaurs.
-Phil Tippett, for dinosaur animation via stop-motion.
-Denis Muren, for compositing.
-Michael Lantieri, for on-set dinosaur interactive effects.
The original plan was the wide shots of Dinosaurs were gonna be done via stop-motion and use the animatronics for the medium/close-up shots. But Spielberg was so intent on making the dinosaurs look real that he felt Tippett's efforts were not convincing enough.
That was until Denis Muren offered a solution, as he was working at ILM supervising the effects of _Terminator 2: Judgement Day_ at the time and offered to do a test for Spielberg using CGI to make dinosaur shots. And the test they showed was so good that when Spielberg asked Tippett what he thought, the latter replied "...I think I'm extinct."
(Which Spielberg loved that response so much that he had it written as a line in the script)
But that didn't mean Tippett didn't have a place there anymore, as they made these armatures for specific dinosaurs with these input sensors on them that worked like a stop-motion puppet but translated the poses in the computer (so, think motion capture for stop-motion).
But even then, Spielberg knew the CGI wasn't going to be 100% flawless. So, he approached it the same way he approached miniatures- using harsh directional lighting to obscure the details as much as possible. As put by the folks at *Corridor Crew,* the genius of the T-Rex paddock attack scene is the limited lighting and the rain obscured the details on the CG T-Rex that would've given away that it wasn't real.
I saw this 6 times in theaters as a kid with different people almost every time. That's how epic it was. When CGI was brand new and blended beautifully with practical effects. Not completely depended on as it is now. I will never forget feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples... One of the greatest cinematic experiences. Don't forget Spielberg was working on Schindler's List at the same time as this...now that's chaos.
Spielberg said that water ripple was one of the hardest of the effects to figure out. They ended up strumming a guitar string under the dashboard.
I lost it when Denise said "boop the snoot." Lolol. Great reaction, guys, just like always! As an aside, you now must watch "Crocodile Dundee!"
The irony is that John Hammond says that they spared no expense but underpaying Dennis Nedry is what caused all of their problems 😂
Underpaid according to Nedry. I’m sure he was asking for something astronomical. He was probably paid quite well.
The creepy choir when the raptor opens the kitchen door literally burned into my mind
Its like what you seeing is something "unholy"
As soon as that theme comes in...man oh man! If Steven Spielberg has not attributed at LEAST 23% of his success to John Williams, that is just a crime.
I'm thinking of the ERB line from Spielberg vs Hitchcock, "Half your billions should go to John Williams!"
"Your scientists, they were so worried if they could that they never stopped to think if they should" basically summarizes Disney's approach in making movies nowadays.
Can't wait for that Seven Dwarfs remake, huh? 😂
One of the things I absolutely love about this movie is the sense of wonder and awe evoked as we first see the dinosaurs along with Ellie and Alan Grant…John Williams’ score is just iconic and makes my heart soar in that scene…🥹
Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern used to be married in real life. This film was how they met. 😊
Whose Laura dern?
@@Escrima88she plays Dr Sadler
That's some lanky sex right there
The 90s was the perfect decade for dinosaur kids. Dinosaurs were everywhere; VHS documentaries, TV shows, costumed sitcoms, school projects, silver-screen movies...
What a time to be alive!
Power Rangers (which their zord was based on dinosaurs) came out a month after this film was released. So 1993 was the year of the dinosaurs.
It's such a clever detail that the floor of the walk-in freezer is icy because the power had been off, so the frost melted, and now the power is back on so it was refreezing on the floor.
I went to a screening of this movie with a live orchestra playing the score and it was a phenomenal experience. John Williams never misses & the dinosaur thrills never get old.
Watched all 3 JP movies with my nephew of 11 years old, he loved the movies so immensely he memorized the theme song and started to hum it before we started watching JW1 a few weeks later and said, "It is so epic""
Never thought a kid so invested in Fortnite could appreciate something so beautifull which we grew up with. 😇
you revisiting Jurassic Park like this reminds me of when I was in high school and we had to read through Julius Ceasar or Romeo and Juliet in class 🙄. then many years later, I decided to get a copy of each of those books and read through them again just for myself, and I got so much more out of them than I ever would have in school.
That is such a true feeling, it has happened to us many times where revisiting something when you're more mature, the meaning just resonates so much deeper. It's a wonderful thing to reread books/rewatch movies after a long time and see what you can learn from it this time around!
The T-Rex scene… in the cinema… you felt the steps. Then the roar… went right through you.
This is one of those blockbusters that’s made for cinema consumption 😊
Love this idea of watching movies 25+ years old that you guys have seen but haven’t seen in forever.
You’re actually right. Watching movies from your childhood and then watching as an adult is a different experience because you’re actually paying attention to the plot, dialogue, characters, production, writing, and visuals vs just seeing the cool exciting parts as a kid.
You two are by far the best movie reators I've come across, been watching you guys for just over a year now ☺
Woooow a whole year?! Thank you so so much for your support, your kind words and for sticking with us for this long! It truly means the world to us! We are so grateful to have you with us ❤️
I was lucky enough to see this in the cinema as a kid, I remember having my hands over my face and my eyes closed MANY times lol. It was near on 30 years ago but I still remember the uproar of laughter when the "We're back in the car again" moment happened.
My favorite little detail is at 10:40, when his seatbelt has two "female" fittings with no male fitting. But he just ties them together and makes it work anyways. Because life, uh, finds a way.
In the book Grant loves kids because they’re some of the few people who are excited about dinosaurs as he is. Pronouncing difficult words and everything
Yessssss. So this is my favorite film, ever. My parents, bless their hearts, thought this was a children’s movie. I sunk into a giant theater chair, age 3, my neck bent back watching this amazing film unfold. The sounds of this film in that theater are some of my first real, solid memories. So many people don’t remember or even know that this was the first film released with DTS sound. Spielberg was a co-creator and he wanted every person to feel every step of those dinosaurs. I also still can’t get over the practical effects used in this film, building a large T-Rex and a T-Rex head was genius. The baby dinosaur, triceratops, and even some of the cuts of the raptors. Practicality wins every time in my book.
When he kept saying, "Spared no expense" throughout the movie, he wasn't saying, "Look at me, I'm rich," he was saying, "Only the best." So, only the best tech, only the best people (scientists), only the best tour voice-over, only the best food, etc.
God, William's score is so iconic, When I go to Universal Studios with my wife, we go for Potter's Wizarding World. But when we walk through the Jurassic portion of the park... that score gets me every time. And as for the dinosaur reveal scene... that has to be in my top 5 remembered cinematic moments of my life. As someone who, as a kid, was nuts about dinosaurs, when they see the Brachiosaurus for the first time and then Alan sees them moving in herds by the water.... I remember sitting in the theater in that exact moment and being transported and dumbfounded by what I was seeing. Will never ever forget that.
Unnecessary trivia: Jeff Goldblum always looked a little dorky to me on the screen in the 80s but then I met him in person and he's way better looking than you'd expect. Also way taller! He was very nice.
Fun fact!: the reason why the trex roars for no reason sometimes is because its vision its based on movement (in the movie, not real life), so it roars to scare the creatures into moving.
Many people missed out the the animated DNA sequence, it really help the common man understand how the creation of the dinosaurs was a possibility. Based on what was described in the book, the explanation would have confused the audience. Spielberg fitting in the animation sequence made it so clear even the kids could understand it. That was a genius stroke!
Ah yes 5 year old me jumping around the couch for dinosaurs was everything 😂
Side note the trex attacked the car thinking it was a dinosaur,like how it flipped the car to expose its"belly"
Yeah bit the tires aka it's legs so it couldn't run or fight back
John Williams is simply a genius. The way how he can emotionally elevate the movies with his music! Just think about them: Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Schindler's List, Memoirs of a Geisha... The moment you think about these films you hear his music in your head and you have an instant emotional reaction. For me at least the biggest composer in Hollywood.
And just think, this is actually Lex’s *second* monster movie! Just a few years earlier, she was avoiding being eaten by giant worm monsters in the original Tremors.
It’s so ironic that this film was praised for how groundbreaking the CGI was that the practical effects never got any recognition. 31 years later everyone discusses the perfect balance of you using both art mediums.
My favourite film watching experience ever was about 5 years ago, where I went to see Jurassic Park: In Concert. Massive projector screen playing the movie, live orchestra playing the music for the whole film.
John Williams is to Steven Spielberg what Danny Elfman is to Tim Burton.
When my sister and I saw this in theaters. She said " the T-Rex just came from there, how is it a cliff now." I never knew what she meant till I saw it on VHS.😮
The actress that played Lexi was in the movie "Tremors" and the actor that played Tim played a member of Queen in the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody"
The fact that Spielberg made this movie as a compromise so universal would give him 22 million dollars to make his passion project " Schindler's list" speakes volumes of how talented this man was
One gem for you to discover, with Ricard Attenborough (the rich old guy), is the superb and underrated 1966 movie "the Sand Pebbles", with Steve McQueen, Richard Crenna (Rambo) and Candice Bergen (dr Zivago)....about a US war ship in 1926 China. The movie was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Steve McQueen, his only Oscar nomination, and eight Golden Globe Awards, with Attenborough winning the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor.
My grandma took me to see this in the theater on my 8th birthday. It'll always be special to me because of that.
6:47, RIP, Richard Attenborough, 1923-2014.
Jurassic Park is by far my number 1 movie ever. As a dinosaur nerd I would never have thought that this movie existed until I was 6 and saw all three film on dvd. To this day Jurassic Park still holds a place in my heart and always will even the World films as well.
Oh, the classics never get old. Another great movie that came out in the same year was 'Groundhog Day' (1993). Would love to see y'all cover it. Thanks! 🧡
Thank you for the recommendation! Surprisingly we didn’t have that one on our list.
@@OfficialMediaKnights It's iconic. Bill Murray is a legend. Will it be a first-time watch for you guys?
oh yes, this movie is the best. Murray in his peak years.
You'll wanna watch it over and over again 😊
Yes yes yes! A million times yes!
This is why Spielberg is one of my favorite directors: simply for his ability to create true cinema magic. The sense of wonder and amazement in his films still touches me in the heart.
In case you guys didn’t know, the first Jurassic Park movie as well as Jurassic World are both filmed in Hawaii and you can actually book ATV tour there as well.
31:46, the Rex Animatronic broke the roof of the car accidentally as it malfunctioned in the rain, and the kids were really terrified. Spielberg loved it so much, he kept in the final cut of the movie.
Awesome to see them keep such a real visceral reaction. That’s exactly what they needed and they sold it!
This film was what convinced me to study genetics at uni when it came out lol - and weirdly Attenborough was the alumni at Sussex University graduation in 1998 who gave me my degree :)
I wonder what would have happened if Richard Attenborough (John Hammond) was still alive when Jurassic World came out. It's unfortunate that he died the year before it was released. Would have been great if he had a cameo appearance to see his dream finally come true, if only for a short while.
Very different from the book. In the book nedry is a victim. Hammond is the antagonist. Great reaction 👍
WOAW! Hey! Didn't realize I was going to be reminded I'm Ancient today! lol, geesh.
😂😂😂
Right there with ya.
Jurassic Park is one of my absolute favorite movies. I really have to praise you. You at Media Knights offer great content and you are my favorite channel for movie reactions. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany.
Btw, the actor that plays Hammond is Richard Attenborough, David Attenborough’s older brother!
This was one of those films when it was released and after the first viewing you KNEW it would be an iconic game changer in the history of film, it just hit every single element perfectly and filled people with wonder. That is magic that never goes away.
12:09, the CGI still holds up to this day.
Not sure if you know, but the actor who portrays John Hammond is Richard Attenborough, the older brother of the legendary Sir David Attenborough!😁
Back in days, this movie was like a revolution. Still a magnificent one. Only now I realized, that the kitchen-scene at the end, looks a lot like scenes in Alien/Aliens. It is not a steal, just a similar feel.
Steven Spielberg's "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" is a gem, definitely outstanding. If one thinks about the heavy message of the movie - it hits one, big time.
I was 7 years old when I saw this in theater. That first introduction to the Dinos on the island truly was a something to behold. You could hear the fascination among the movie goers. God the 90s was a time to be alive
That line where Malcolm says “Don’t you mean extinct?” was actually heavily inspired by Phil Tippett saying “I think I’m extinct.” in response to seeing the CG T-Rex for the first time.
That is an awesome quip to throw out there. Glad they honored that and put it in the film. It’s crazy that the “going extinct” feeling is relevant now more than ever.
Seen J.P. with my cousin James Primus on day one at the grand opening of the Rivera theater. Here in Michigan. From the start of the universal logo I was transfixed by Stan Winston & Dennis Muren Special Effects, both practical, visual sound, and back then, computer generated imaging.
Still a certified classic, while following the source material by Michael Crichton's novel. Along with the actors and actresses
Sir. Richard Attenbourough, Sam Neil, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Robert Peck, Wayne Knight, Samuel L Jackson.
A week after my uncle took me to see it again. This time at the drive in on a dark and stormy June night.
So cool to see how many incredible memories people have when it comes to this film! It truly is a classic and it holds up strong! We need this magic to come back ❤️
I had to wait for months for the movie to come to the $2 theater. I ran away every time friends talked about it
I'm so glad you didn't let the fact that you have already seen it stop you from reacting to this classic. Hard to think of any reactors better equipped to fully appreciate it.
Here's a little Easter egg for when you guys eventually watch Jurassic world ( Jurassic Park 4). The tyrannosaurus rex in Jurassic world is supposed to be the same one from Jurassic Park who had been living and surviving on the island since 1993, she even has the scars on her neck from fighting the Velociraptors at the end of this movie. Fans have dubbed her rexy
Thanks for the shout-out you two! You even pronounced my last name right, which is pretty rare! 😊
Love the revisiting of such huge cultural pieces! Hope to see more trips down memory lane with the decades later perspective!
Fun fact: Even though they refer to them in the film as "velociraptor", the creatures shown are Utah Raptor, which was found in the early 90's, and was nearly named "Speilberg-saurus" - in exchange for dig funding, but they could never settle on an appropriate dollar amount.
We’ve got some cool ones on our list to revisit! It was honestly such an amazing experience seeing this with today’s perspective. The film went much deeper than I could recall (of course as a kid you’re not really aware of some of the commentary). Glad we got the pronunciation right! And once again, thank you for all the love man ❤️😄
You two are the best film reactors on TH-cam. You see a lot, but you can be surprised, too! I'm F/62 and it's a joy to relive some of my favorite movies through you. Keep up the good work!
The foreshadowing or Grant tying the seatbelt ends together is such clever writing. “Life finds a way.”
9:34, Love Jeff Goldblum! He's like a member of the audience telling Hammond, "you shouldn't break the laws of nature!"
"Dodgson, DODGSON, We've got Dodgson here!!!"
See, nobody cares! 😂😂😂
My favorite small detail in this movie is in the beginning when they're on the helicopter. Dr Grant can't find the seatbelt so he ties 2 female ends of the buckle to create a secure belt. Life finds a way
Your closing remarks/analyses are always so good - it's the main reason I watch your channel. Keep up the great work.
The fact that in the same year, Spielberg was working both on this and Schindler's List is insane to me. Two polar opposite films, but he nailed both of them. I should warn you though: bring a large box of tissues for when you'll watch Schindler's List.
As a fellow Dinosaur appreciator, I think you will get a kick out of this. As it turns out, the REAL Velociraptor, was in fact no larger than a small chicken.
The animal that is actually shown to us on screen, was called "Deinonychus" which is Latin for "Terrible Claw" which according to the fossil record, was about the size shown on screen.
However, the reason the animal shown on screen was called "Velociraptor" was entirely due to Spielberg's decision as he believed the name was scarier and more easy to remember than Deinonychus.
Even after all of these years my family uses quotes from this film--often. "Must go faster" is probably #1. The theme is so awesome, school bands are still playing it.
As an it-guy the "ahahah you didn't say the magic word" passes at least once a month
Love your channel guys! This was one of my favorite movies as a kid and still is today. I've lost count of how many times I have seen this movie and Denise is right, pure nostalgia. 11:55-13:30 the soft music of the incomparable John Williams playing as they slowly reveal the brachiosaur and then Hammond resolutely declares "Welcome to Jurassic Park," and when the music swells, I get chills every time!
I saw this one in the theater like 14 times... I got high to that shit!!!
