Thank you so much to everyone for watching my reaction? It means a lot! I hope you enjoyed it and please check out some of my other reaction videos.
Your enthusiasm and joy are contagious. Thanks.
@@ericmishima I really appreciate that, thanks.
The novel and its sequel are excellent, better than the movies. If you still read a lot give them a try!
I do hope that you will add on more films from the jurassic Park movies.
@@ericmishima you should react Minority Report it is awesome Speilberg film
The CGI was absolutely mind-blowing when this movie came out. Nothing even remotely close had ever been seen before.
sure, I can see that. I really liked the practical effects
Wasn't CGI, all practical effects and animatronics.
@@ItApproaches um.... I'm sorry, but you are extraordinarily mistaken. There is a ton of CGI in Jurassic Park. It's a mixture of that and practical effects. Maybe look things up before commenting.
@@nooneofconsequence1251 Anything CGI is miniscule and is overwhelmed by practical effects and animatronics.
@@ItApproaches I'm sorry that you're so ignorant about this. Again, maybe try looking it up. Pretty fucking obnoxious you'd respond twice in a row as if you know what you're talking about when you obviously don't.
The fact you said the book Jurassic Park must not have been very popular when it came out made me legitimately laugh a little bit. I was 9 years old when this movie came out and that book was EVERYWHERE, front and center in the windows of every store that sold books. It was HUGE.
Maybe just not very popular in Iowa. I dk.
Addendum: I read the novel before the movie came out. It is an excellent book,.
But of course people read the shining more.
as far as im aware jurassic park is his most popular novel. i remember jp being a juggernaut in the mid to late 90s. what a fun time to be a dinosaur loving kid who reads!
Back To The Future was a Robert Zemeckis film.
Enjoyed watching you watch this. By the way, much thanks for being a farmer and feeding the world. You guys don't get the respect that you deserve. As a city boy growing up my parents showed me the importance of farming.
You are correct but it's not done for admiration. We do it because we love it.
The fact that he said Samuel L Jackson was from Star Wars instead of Avengers first made me so happy. Lol.
Freaking love your reactions so genuine and funny.
Great
The special effects were absolutely amazing for the time. Watching it in theaters was a real experience. The dinosaurs' roaring was so loud. When T-Rex stomped, it shook your seats.
I bet it was amazing
@@AwesomeUSMoviesit was. You have no idea. Dolby sound helped make you feel like dinosaurs were in the lobby
The effects are still good.
I saw it in a theater with complete surround sound technology. It was awesome.
It's mental how realistic the Dinosaurs look even more so than the modern movies such as Jurassic World. This film employs relatively little CGI for its dinosaurs, and many of the more iconic shots are based on practical effects. Spielberg limited the CGI elements and retained the use of Stan Winston's puppets for much of the memorable dinosaur scenes. In fact, there's said to be a total of just 63 visual effects shots in the whole film, a tiny number compared to Jurassic World's more than 2,000 VFX shots.
Good info thanks
@@AwesomeUSMovies There are Four more movies after this one with a fith to be released in Feb 2022
they are
The Lost world Jurassic Park (set on Isla Sorna the breeding Island site B)
Jurassic Park 3
Jurassic World (set 22 years after the Events of 1st Jurassic Park movie)
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
The novel is so good too, it's different enough that it's worth reading even after seeing the movie... Also, it was a best seller before the movie came out, surprises me you never heard of it! Love your videos. Don't forget Jaws, Spielberg's first big movie, and the first blockbuster movie in history. JP also had groundbreaking cgi that nobody ever saw before, it knocked our socks off!
Well do far I'm pretty impressed with him as a director. I guess I still have a long ways to go
The movie turned me on to the book in '93 at 13yo and Crichton as an author and I've read loads of his books since! Great read! Both of them!
@@AwesomeUSMovies The Novel is so different from the movie and John Hammond is a complete Arse hole towards everyone especially his grand children
@@glenmartin7978 Na it's not that different, it's litteraly the same story but with a different tone than the movie, the book is more a thriller than adventure and the movie is more Adventure than thriller . And of course with little changes and more devellopement.
The novel is SO much better! I read the book well before the movie came out. I enjoyed the movie and was amazed by the spectacle (it was an AWESOME theater experience!), but it was like Jurassic Park Lite compared to the book. Highly recommend.
Regarding Chrichton's book: It was and still is his most popular book (movie studios were fighting for the adaptation rigths BEFORE it was even published just for the premise alone. I know, it sounds crazy). No idea what you were into in 1990, my friend, but... yeah, you missed something big.
I guess, wow, well I know what I'll be ready next month.
Listen to the audio book as well. The narrator is great.
I can remember being in the theater.. waiting for the previous crowd to get out... and hearing that Trex roar....goosebumps
I bet. The big one dropping at the begging too
"The kids did okay I guess.." WHAT? 😵 The kids did amazing!! 10/10
I had a kindergarten teacher that was in her 70s, and a kid brought this movie in to class and she showed it to us having no idea. Lol. We all swore to each other we wouldn't tell our parents that we got to see it.
I was 5 when i saw this movie in the theater. It was incredible then and it remains incredible to this day.
When this movie came out, there really wasn't any really good CGI movies that had come out up to that point. So when this hit theaters, it was amazing. I saw this in it's opening week, and seeing it on the big screen just blew me away. It was the first really believable CGI movie ever, and coupled with the sound in the theater, it was wild.
As a rule of thumb Samuel L. Jackson is in about half of all movies. At least that's what it feels like.
I'm starting to see that
and Jackson has a habit of losing body parts (arms, hands, eyes) in a lot of his movies
"Look at the big old dinosaur!"
I love it, lol.
the Triceratops was the best
I saw this in the theaters when it came out, I was about 9 or 10 years old. Let me tell you ... this movie was EVERYTHING. I remember it being better than anything I had ever seen before. I was in LOVE with dinosaurs after this movie (a love that persists to this day). This was THE movie for kids of its generation. And yes, those effects were legendary. Even the CGI -- you can still believe that it's all real.
Do yourself a favor and watch the other ones too. I know some people might say otherwise, but I think they are all fun to watch one way or another. Just keep in mind that over time they knew that people wouldn't react to the sequels the way they did this one, so they don't necessarily need to build that "wonder" every movie. They're different types of stories. But they are still a LOT of fun! :)
Cool thanks
awesome channel and love your reaction! by the way, i give you my thanks on being a farmer. my tribe are originally farmers in southern arizona and today we continue the practices with our current and young generations. my elders have always taught us the importance of our environment as well as farming to sustain not just ourselves but our communities. it’s a lot of hard work, i admit but i love learning and seeing the progress with my communities. again thank you! farmers are not credited or don’t get the recognition and respect they deserve so much! 😊
Well thank you so much. Enjoy the channel. Two years of content on here now
The CGI and animatronics then was 10 years ahead of its time. Completely mind blowing in the theater, yeah you had to be there. I was completely terrified of that T-Rex and Raptors 😂
I agree with the raptors, t-rex is just misunderstood.
_Wayne Knight_ is the actor that plays the dude that is stealing dino-dna and gets killed. He also plays one of my favorite antagonists in a sit-com. He plays the _evil_ neighbor to Jerry Seinfeld in the 90's sitcom _Seinfeld_ ... which used to show on the same night as _Friends_ 😜 Thursdays on NBC in the late '80s through the '90s was king of sit-coms
I know about the show just never watched it
After 30yrs. It Still Stands Up.
The movie was filmed on location in Kauai Hawaii and Warner Bros Studio and Universal Studios, Hollywood CA.
Cool thanks. Hawaii here I come
I remember we rented this movie as soon as it was available and i watched it 3 times back to back just blown away i was 8 years old 😳
lol! “Shut the dam door!” I watch another reactor that says that champagne is in every movie. Maybe we need to check for both open doors and bubbly?
Shocking…I thought the kids were great and the lil girl’s scream was epic 😂😂 and her look of utter terror! Enjoyed the reaction as always!
This movie is pretty much my favorite ever made
I'm so happy that it ended up being one of the first in your journey through films!
The sequel is a divided in terms of response, but I am 100% in favor of you watching The Lost World: Jurassic Park, it is so fun and so cool and such a great product of its time. So please do consider watching that film, it's a blast.
Loved your commentary of Jurassic Park. 😀
Thanks, lots of requests for this
"That Sam Jackson guy is good." lol. it is so fun watching you discover some of these actors/directors. Some of the absolute biggest names in the world and you dont know who they are or the kinds of things theyve done other than the couple youve seen so far. it is like watching a kid grow and learn about things. It's so enjoyable. It also helps a lot of us to relive that magic of seeing things we did the first time years and years ago through your eyes. Glad you are having fun and glad i get to experience it with you.
Thanks Bob, enjoy the ride I sure am.
Thank you for your reactions. I lived in iowa for a couple of years and thought it was nice place. A lot of kind people there. I've enjoyed your videos and your laugh is highly contagious so thanks for being you sir! 😊
0:10 That background looks great with you, and with your farming background you'd be a great jurassic employee with animal experience too. 😊
"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."

good stuff
30:30 Most electrical systems I work with they operate this way (Green/black = off, Red = on). That is because when the power is on danger is present. And trust me you do not want to be poking around in an electrical panel when the panel is on.
AGREED! Thank you for what you do!
24:17
"I can afford more glasses." line cracked me up. He needs the glasses now.
“I’m so glad that’s not real” about that 😂
oh come on now
@@AwesomeUSMovies hahaha 💜 thanks for the fun video (btw note: a good movie if you have time, “Schindler’s list”)
This movie cannot be appreciated on a small screen. I saw it on opening weekend in a huge theater in St. Louis. Everybody was blown away. They had the sound system cranked up to 11. When that soundtrack ramped up as they are flying into the the island the first time it gave you goosebumps.
Ohhh, I bet that was amazing. I'm a bit jealous
I love how your knowledge of so many pop culture movies comes purely from auto shows haha
Yeah that isn't good is it. I'm running out of cars to reference. na, I got lots
when this was first released in theaters many parents brought their small children to see the great dinosaur movie.
the sound of dozens of second graders shrieking in a delighted terror was almost painful to listen to.
LOL, love that story
Can confirm. I saw it in the theater when I was just 5. It was incredible and terrifying all at the same time.
I remember there were announcements all over local news stations that there are some scary scenes so think twice about bringing your small children.
If nobody has recommended this yet: you need to watch the episode of Netflix's _The Movies That Made Us_ that covers Jurassic Park. It goes into how they did a lot of the special effects as well as just how groundbreaking they were for the time. Remember that to release in 1993 means this was in production in 1991-1992, so for the CGI to look like THAT was _absolutely mind-blowing._ PCs were still running Windows 3.1 in the early 90s!
There's a cool theory that when Nedry put the hoody on the Dilophosaurus thought he was a mate because his hoodie looked like the Dilophosaurus frill, which is why she didn't attack him at first.
Although I consider this one of the best book-to-film adaptations there is (the book is significantly different in a lot of important ways, regardless) I think the biggest misstep they took here was leaving out the clarity the book provides that the "movement based vision" is an amphibian trait inherited from the amphibian DNA they used to recreate the dinosaurs and it wasn't just the rex with vision-based movement. The film makes it seem like that's just something we know about tyrannosaur vision, which isn't the case. We don't know anything about dinosaur vision other than what we can try and infer and assume based on things like the eye placement in the skull (e.g. we know t-rex likely actually had very good binocular vision, comparable to a hawk, with both eyes facing straight forward in the skull) and what we think their behavior was like.
Interesting thanks
@@AwesomeUSMovies The movement based vision thing is nonsense anyway, at least the way they portrayed it in this movie. After all, movement is relative, so the t-rex just has to move its head and it can see everything. And frogs would have a hard time getting around if they couldn't see inanimate objects.
@ 21:14 You got that right! You could feel the theater and seats vibrate a bit. If you get a chance to experience any of these big budget movies you like in a big screen surround sound theater, do it. Definitely do the two sequels The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III, both have actors from the first one and are pretty good, worth at least one watch. Part one is considered by most to be the best. For another good Michael Crichton novel set to film do "The Andromeda Strain" (1971). 🖖😎
Cool thanks, added to my list. Thanks
If I remember correctly this was the first move to come out in THX, the equivalent of Dolby Atmos today.
Enjoyed this first Jurassic Park film
Thanks for the chance
This movie caused my love of Dinosaurs, and have watched it over 100 times
The greatest scene in this movie is when we first Dee the Dino’s and say “Welcome to Jurassic park.”
A fun little Easter egg in the movie is, when in the helicopter, Dr Grant only had the 2 female sections of his seat belt, and Grant 'made it work'
Just like the movie keeps saying, life will find a way.
love it
It's funny to me how people can accept frog biology changes, yet can't accept this stuff when it comes to humans. We're all complex creatures & life will certainly always find a way.
@@d3l3tes00n 😂Jeez. I'm accepting of trans people, but I mean, one happens naturally in a same-sex environment and is a natural thing that animal does based on evolution. The other doesn't just naturally happen to us as humans, regardless of if we're in a same-sex environment and is something that needs to be done *to* you. It's isn't as if your body just naturally turns into the opposite sex.
I get what point you're somehow trying to make but that's an absolutely awful comparison and one that could be *easily* argued against by folks who are against humans attempting to change their gender. Plus, it isn't as if that just spontaneously happened to those frogs because they really, really wanted it. It happened through evolution over an extremely long period of time.
I'm sure once people can just spontaneously change gender when there aren't enough of one around, people will be far more accepting. But as of now, it doesn't automatically make one a hypocrite for accepting sex-changing frogs but not trans people.
The girl who plyed Lex was also the girl who played Mindy in Tremors. Another good movie
I don't know Tremors. I'll add it to my list thanks
Andromeda strain was Crichton's first book I'd read, long after seeing JP as a kid. I also found out late that he wrote the book despite JP having always been my favorite movie. Movie takes a good amount of cinematic liberty and Crichton was asked by Spielberg to write a second novel so he had basis for a second movie. Crichton wrote the Lost World (JP 2) and shortly thereafter Spielberg directed his sequel of the same name.
Cool, I'll make sure I get to it
What a movie!
It looks like you weren't really prepared for all the deaths and torn limbs. 🤣
Jurassic Park, by Michael Crichton was best seller for many years. Nowadays people don't talk about it in many countries because it's hard to find, but it used to be everywhere.
One of my favorites. Loved this one.
The welcome to Jurassic park scene is special in 2 ways 1 it’s one of the most popular cinematic scenes in history and also it’s one of the most beautiful scenery shots
If you ever get around to reading the original Jurassic Park novel, it actually has several plot points in common with the second JP movie: The Lost World. This film is based on the novel in premise only.
It was incredible in the theaters you can still go and watch it at the cinema they do a re-showing every few years
I have a feeling this one is going to be a staple for a long, long time!
The soundtrack in this movie is stunning !!!
Hmm, usually I pay attention to that detail. I think it was mostly instrumental.
The movie still holds up but the impact when it came out was mind blowing. It really was the first real CGI movie, where everyone came saying, WOW!!
I believe it
Another great one! Thanks for the reaction!
This movie was way ahead of it's time!
Breakers: No. They are showing their safety state. Green means you can touch the circuit they control; red means don't touch. I get thrown by this a lot at work where we build big devices with a few dozen breakers, and most have a little window that changes from green to red when you close them.
Those things are crazy
I did not watch this movie for a quite a while after it came out. it was so hyped and everyone was talking about it and i just figured it cant be that good. mustve been a couple years and i just decided to watch it and i remember when the scene came on with the iconic music where the dinosaurs emerge and i was stunned. the visuals were just amazing
Actually the novel was Michael Crichton's most successful book. The sequels a bit less so. Of course, the movie certainly helped sales. But it was right up there with Andromeda Strain, The Terminal Man, and The Great Train Robbery. Several of his novels (including all those mentioned) were made into movies, as well as Spere, Timeline, Congo, Rising Sun, and Westworld (which was also turned into an HBO series).
Jeff Goldblum is terrific in The Fly (1986).
Jurassic Park was a 1990 bestseller and came to be regarded as Crichton's signature novel.
added thanks
The CGI was STATE OF THE ART , for 1993.
I bet
Fun fact: The Chilean Sea Bass is just a fancy name for the Patagonian Toothfish. It's not really a sea bass they just gave it a name that had more market appeal. Just like the fish, the dinosaurs aren't really dinosaurs. It's also a very cheap fish, so so much for "spared no expense".
There's a photo going around the internet of Steven Spielberg sitting in front of the sick triceratops and people assume that he's a hunter and the negative comments abusing him for killing an animal is hilarious
LOl, that is funny.
People are so stupid lol
Fun fact: The T-Rex in this was actually animatronic, and because of the rain soaking through its "skin", it used to glitch and started doing things that the crew didn't want it to do-- opening and closing its jaws, bobbing up and down, lifting its legs. By all accounts, it freaked the crew out the first time it happened when they realised that no one was at the controls and this twenty foot mechanical dinosaur was moving all by itself. Whenever they were shooting with the rain, they had to stop every twenty minutes/half hour and dry off the skin before the rain soaked through
Love that
I would definitely recommend to you the novel of this, by the same name. It came out first, by the legendary Michael Crichton, and far exceeds the movie. You will really appreciate it!
Another classic that I have seen so many times. It's just so good!
I was 7 years old when this came out - totally blew my mind. Still gives me major nostalgia 30 years later!
I should get back to this series
The CGI for that time was groundbreaking. When the glass breaks in the car, it broke for real. The scream the little girl did was a real scream because she saw a huge animatronics dinosaur coming down on her. The "Puppet" had been weighted down with the rain so it came down harder than it should have.
I have watched this movie more time than I can count. There is a youtube channel that deals in catastrophy and for April Fool's day this year, he made a whole video about the "Isla Nublar" incident. It was so amazing that people were fooled by it.
Fun
Great video as always!!!
I was so hype to watch this movie in theaters because it was dinosaurs being brought into the modern era. However, I was 11 years old at the time, and I found the film disappointing because I was expecting to get the crap scared out of me, but it did not do that. As I watched the film again, and again, over the years, I have appreciated it more, and more. That is because I can pick up on the messages the film is telling us, such as don't mess with the past, leave the dinosaurs there. Also, don't mock the raptors was a lesson I learned. Them suckers are scary.
Fun fact: in the book Hammond and Dr. Wu die! They’re not even suppossed to be alive in the second one in the books. But both the books and the movies are really good!
Jurassic Park was a bestselling novel when it was released in 1990. The sequel, The Lost World, came out in 1995.
Interesting thanks
My favorite thing that came out of this movie was the super nintendo video game because it was so much and I wasted way to many hours playing it. The movie still rocks today! AWESOME reaction! Miss seeing the Hawkeye gear...Go Hawks!
I highly recommend the book, as well as the sequel "the lost world" they go into alot more detail. Also fun fact, the whole "trex can't see you if you don't move" is actually bull. They actually believed that Rex's had some of the best eyesight ever, 4 times better then a hawks. Soooo yeah, grant and lex should have been eaten lol
Most of the exterior filming was done in Kauai, Hawaii.
ohhh, nice!
I never got to see this movie in theaters when it came out as I wasn't born yet lol. But a couple years ago I got the opportunity to and it was great.
Your reaction to this video was great - I had fun watching you have so much fun :)
Thank you so much 😁
32:26. What no I-phone? 😂
Robert Zemeckis did Back to The Future... at Some point, please watch Forest Gump, also directed by Zemeckis... it's my favorite movie of all time! I really enjoy your reaction videos, keep it up!
Thank you so much
@@AwesomeUSMovies Before you watch Forrest Gump (which is great, as Ryan says), watch Zemeckis' Apollo 13, which is phenomenal.
Really Love the Channel!
Love that the thing known about this movie is the make and models of the jeeps! Definitely a different kind of reactor.
Yeah but they were Ford's, I couldn't believe it
Guys, seriously get it together. The electric track driven vehicles were modified Ford Explorers. The independent gas vehicles were Jeeps.
Glad you watched this one! And yes, it was AMAZING in the theaters, saw it with my btothers and mom when I was 13.
Since Jaws came in a close 2nd on the polls, I hope you will watch that soon! Jaws is the reason I am a movie guy, parents let me see it when I was probably too young, but for a film from 1975, long before CGI, it still holds up for me.
Have a great weekend!
So practical effects only. I'm into it!
@@AwesomeUSMovies yes, in fact, effects that caused a lot of complications. It could've killed Speilberg's career before it started, but instead started his ascension to one of the most famous directors in history!
This film showed the advancement in special effects, & convinced George Lucas it was time to make the Star Wars prequels. I was in awe of this film in the 90's.
Great reaction, this is probably my favourite reaction of yours so far, especially when they were coming down the tree.
Glad you enjoyed
My number 1 favorite movie of all time!

Great info, thanks
One thing that caught my eye and gave me a smile was when the t-rex was chasing the "jeep", you got a shot of the side mirror with 'things in the mirror may be closer than they appear" written on it, as you see the t-rex gaining on the jeep. It happens quickly and is easy to miss.
Its a very well known shot actually lol
I thought about including more of that chase but it just seemed very unnecessary. The Jeep could get up to speed and haul ass in no time. I didn't think that scheme represented real world actions.
Ian was cowering away from the T-Rex and slid to where he was blocking the gearshift.
Cool shirt! Every time I see a rock the color of amber I think if this movie, wondering if a mosquito was in it. You should have been in the theater when this came out. It was awesome. Everyone screamed at the same time. Even though this the movie is very cool, this park was such a baaad idea.
I only saw this movie for the first time a few years ago and now it's the reason I'm so fascinated by dinosaurs.
"the CGI is pretty good, I Guess" yeah....for the time its FUCKING brilliant, haha
It was
BTW, _Back to the Future_ was directed by Robert Zemeckis. Zemeckis also directed _Who Framed Roger Rabbit_ which is a movie I do hope you’ll eventually react to.
This is the scariest family friendly movie I saw as a kid. 😁
Oh I bet
I can't believe you've heard of Michael Crichton but not his novel Jurassic Park... it was a huge best-seller, and is usually ranked in his top 3-5 books of all time if not #1.
That is crazy. IDK... I have no words
@@AwesomeUSMovies haha. it's okay we all have stuff pass us by sometimes. I read it. IMO the movie is superior. The story is a lot tighter and cleaner in the film. The book was, in my opinion, just an exercise in Crichton and his giant ego telling us how he thought dinosaurs looked and behaved... the characters inexplicably walk around the entire park and visit every single paddock for contrived reasons. But the film is absolutely classic.
On the other hand the 2nd book is superior to the 2nd movie.
@@nooneofconsequence1251 There are more of these?
@@AwesomeUSMovies oh yeah there are a bunch. But honestly only the first one is really worth watching.
@@AwesomeUSMovies They're all fun for the dinosaur action, to varying extents. The action gets bigger with each one, although it's hard to top the novelty of the first one.
This movie is definitely one of my top favorites. I remember my dad taking me to see it when it came out I believe I was 7ish. For that time the CGI was insane. I had nightmares lol
At 7? I'm sure you did
Saw this in theaters as a kid at about 7 or 8. The only part I couldn't handle was the 'clever girl' raptor attack scene. Discovered years later that they never even show anything 😅
The book is quite excellent as well, as many Michael Crichton books tend to be. For more Crichton adaptations - Congo, Sphere, and 13th Warrior (adapted from Eaters of the Dead).
Also, Back to the Future is Robert Zemeckis, not Spielberg (Spielberg only produced it). A lot of people make that mistake from the 'Steven Spielberg Presents' line.
I've read Congo and Sphere both pretty good. I don't know the eaters if the dead
You mentioned you've read Michael Crichton books before. I highly recommend reading Jurassic Park. Not only is it his best selling novel (it was a New York Times #1 Best Seller when it released) but it's very different from the movie. It has that same feeling of wonder and amazement but has a lot more that happens which the movie didn't show. The openings and endings are also completely different. It's difficult to say which is better since they are both amazing in their own rights but the book is a must read for any reader.
Also, it didn't become a best seller due to the movie. It was a best seller for a couple years prior to the film coming out. Today it's known as Crichton's signature novel and it's sold over 150 million copies. You'll like it a lot. It's a page turner.
Will do thanks.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Cool. If you feel like doing a comparison video between the book and the movie once you read it, or even just a review video of the book, that would make for a good upload.
12:41 hilarious! Never heard of a herbivore reference as vegetarian, but iCan dig it!
Yup I liked it
The dinosaurs are so great in this film
My mom's still scared till this day whenever she watches this movie
I've actually been to the badlands where they were digging to look for fossils myself. Didn't find anything, still had a lot of fun.
Funny
