I was a HUUUUGE dinophile as a child. This movie came out when I was 23. Seeing that first scene with the brachiosaurus nearly brought tears to my eyes--both with the glorious acting, and the absolute cutting edge CGI. This movie STANDS UP.
T Rex had incredible vision in reality :) also Nedry's death in the book is brutal. "Nedry opened the car door, glancing back at the dinosaur to make sure it wasn't going to attack, and felt a sudden, excruciating pain in his eyes, stabbing like spikes into the back of his skull, and he squeezed his eyes shut and gasped with the intensity of it and threw up his hands to cover his eyes and felt the slippery foam trickling down both sides of his nose. Spit. The dinosaur had spit in his eyes. Even as he realized it, the pain overwhelmed him, and he dropped to his knees, disoriented, wheezing. He collapsed onto his side, his cheek pressed to the wet ground, his breath coming in thin whistles through the constant, ever-screaming pain that caused flashing spots of light to appear behind his tightly shut eyelids. The earth shook beneath him and Nedry knew the dinosaur was moving, he could hear its soft hooting cry, and despite the pain he forced his eyes open and still he saw nothing but flashing spots against black. Slowly the realization came to him. He was blind. The hooting was louder as Nedry scrambled to his feet and staggered back against the side panel of the car, as a wave of nausea and dizziness swept over him. The dinosaur was close now, he could feel it coming close, he was dimly aware of its snorting breath. But he couldn't see. He couldn't see anything, and his terror was extreme. He stretched out his hands, waving them wildly in the air to ward off the attack he knew was coming. And then there was a new, searing pain, like a fiery knife in his belly, and Nedry stumbled, reaching blindly down to touch the ragged edge of his shirt, and then a thick, slippery mass that was surprisingly warm, and with horror he suddenly knew he was holding his own intestines in his hands. The dinosaur had torn him open. His guts had fallen out. Nedry fell to the ground and landed on something scaly and cold, it was the animal's foot, and then there was new pain on both sides of his head. The pain grew worse, and as he was lifted to his feet he knew the dinosaur had his head in its jaws, and the horror of that realization was followed by a final wish, that it would all be ended soon."
Also, Hammond dies near the end of the book, scared away from the Visitor's Center by the kids making the computer let out dinosaur noises through the loudspeakers. He gets killed by little Compy's (like the ones from the second movie).
I'd like to point out in addition to the T-Rex vision information you provided, they were also way smarter than they were said to be in this movie. Some think that they may have been as smart as certain baboons. Which is terrifying.
I've now watched reaction to several of my favorite movies, and the last three I did for Jurassic Park, they all think Nedry is Hammond's son. Makes me wonder if I thought so at some point. I was so young when I watched it for the first time.
@@Bevrast The problem is that adults react to this and they still think Nedry is Hammond's son. I'll give the non-native english speakers a pass, but there is no excuse for adult, native english speakers.
The explosion under the stand at the beginning of the movie (which you ask for an explanation) is a seismic scanner. It sends a shockwave into the ground, and measures its return signal. Very much like radar or sonar, it can show a picture of what is under the ground without digging.
Hi Bisscute. This movie was positively sensational in the cinema. That first scene with the T Rex was the money maker. This had the best audio effects in a movie I ever heard at the time. Spielberg actually had a full sized animatronic T REX built for this stomping around terrorizing in that scene. That alone is outstanding. The storm was real too because a hurricane hit Hawaii where this was filmed and the cast and crew had to be evacuated. Too, the CGI was in it's earliest stages back in 1993 and I think it still holds up beyond anything else from the '90s.
@@WJS774 This movie has 6 minutes of CGI which was created by the same team that did The Abyss alien sea water tentacle scene which was almost a minute long. I believe most of the T rex scenes were done with animatronics though. This movie did shoot CGI to the forefront of cinema technology though and paved the way for the CGI we have today. I did see this in the theater and it was AMAZING!!
He did play Santa Claus, in the remake of Miracle on 34th Street. He also directed one of the greatest movies of the 80s, Gandhi, for which he won an Academy Award.
The shot of the banner falling down in front of the triumphant Rexy is one of the most iconic moments in film history for my taste. What a marvel this film was and how well it holds up.
I can't imagine how amazing it must have been seeing this film in cinemas for the first time, thirty years ago in 1993 especially with effects being used like this for basically the very first time I do know that films like the abyss and T2 used the liquid effects and willow the morph effects and so on
@@TaunTaunTundra4477 I don’t think anything compares. Because unlike, say seeing Star Wars for the first time in a theater or something that, until you did it, didn’t already live inside your imagination? Seeing dinosaurs for real was a dream you had already had, a wish you had already made. So when we share that moment with Grant and Satler seeing the Brach for the first time… nothing like it, ever
The same is true for other, older (and frankly, better) films. Jurassic Park is a marvel for special effects in a movie. But for pure filmmaking, seeing the scope of Lawrence of Arabia, Seven Samurai, or even something like The Wild Bunch, on a big screen is amazing. But as special effects go, fair point about seeing dinosaurs on a huge screen (still not real, though) being memorable.
@@Hexon66 Even though technically they were real at some point in the past and Jurassic Park here is just from the perspective of people who didn't know what we know now like the whole feathers on certain Dinosaurs and such
When I first saw this movie, in theaters, I was 15. That's how old I am. It scared the _crap_ out of me. I _loved_ it. Since then, it has come under a _lot_ of criticism for not being very scientific, but this criticism misses a _key point._ It _was_ very scientific in 1993. Science is what's called "a self-correcting process." Whatever the field of science, it's always finding _more_ pieces of evidence. It's always conducting _more_ studies and experiments. It's _always_ improving. The paleontological consensus of 1993 was the best available at the _time_ and this movie was _based_ on it. A better consensus has come along _since_ them, but this doesn't change the fact that the picture we had of the world that existed, 65 million years ago, was the best _available_ as of 1993.
Yup, the owner, Hammond, was actually Santa in a movie, lol, but was also a phenomenal director as well. I would love for you to check out his Oscar winning film, Gandhi (1982). Otherwise... you're going to need a bigger goat ;)
One of my favorite childhood movies. I was amazed by these creatures when I was little, so this movie coming out was a dream come true. 8:08 "He could play a great Santa Claus." In fact, he did play a great Santa Claus in the 1994 version of Miracle on 34th St. 46:38 That was the best jump scare I have seen in a hot minute.
The stone the mosquito is in is called Amber. It's fossilized tree sap. You can find a lot of amber, but finding one with an insect preserved inside is something quite a bit more rare. That's what they were digging for near the beginning of the movie. That was an amber mine and they were looking for the ones with insects for Hammond. And yes Hammond has a HUGE polished piece of amber with an insect inside on the top of his cane. :) Edit: Dennis is NOT Hammond's son. Dennis was being sarcastic when he said "thanks dad." :D most of the effects are actually practical effects with some scenes being a combination of practical and CG.
Did you even read the book? The trike was not pregnant, it was sick from the west Indian lilac berries. The reason they could'nt find traces in the droppings was because the trikes used gizzard stones, which nobody knew about. The berries were with the gizzard stones after they were thrown up. It was a whole subplot that got cut from the movie.
@@noavailablename10000 I did but now I'm wondering. I read it YEARS ago online, like pre-RUclips years ago. I'm wondering why anyone would bother to rewrite a book and how much of it was rewritten. plus tagging on a supposed interview with Spielberg after which said tons of stuff including that. I thought it was an official copy, but clearly need to find an actual official copy because wtf 😳 Sad thing is, I had paid for it. Which is what you expect when you get a book online. at least at the time. I just don't get it. why rewrite something and sell it like it's the real thing? Why not just sell the real thing 😒
@@adiarainfoster That's incredibly weird. I've read the books at least 10 times over the last 20 years or so. If you still have it and can prove that's what your copy says, I'll check myself into a mental hospital, lol. I'm not a believer in the Mandela effect, but that one would be like a physical punch to the gut.
@@noavailablename10000 I wish I did. it was years and three computers ago. Now I just want to get a hard copy. I'm suddenly not trusting buying digital format anymore 😧
I've got to tell you something This phenomenon, I had to put it in a song And it goes like Whoa, amber is the color of your energy Whoa, shades of gold display naturally You want to know what brings me here You glide through my head, blind to fear And I know I Whoa, amber is the color of your energy Whoa, shades of gold display naturally Whoa, amber is the color of your energy Whoa, shades of gold display naturally You live too far away Your voice rings like a bell anyway Don't give up your independence Unless it feels alright Nothing good comes easily Sometimes you've got to fight Whoa, amber is the color of your energy Whoa, shades of gold display naturally Lost a thousand ships in my heart so easy Still it's fine from afar And you know that Whoa Brainstorm Take me away from the norm' Whoa I've got to tell you something (Sing called Amber by 311)
amazing how you say at the end Steven Spielberg "i heard that Name befor" hes just one of the most known and porbably one of the best film director, writer and producer.
The assumption that herbivores would be peaceful is unfounded. A rhinoceros, a hippo, male bovine, male African elephant all serve as warning examples.
It's funny you say that Hammond (Richard Attenborough) would make a great Santa Claus because he was Santa Claus! He was in the remake of the classic Christmas movie Miracle on 34th Street alongside Mara Wilson, the little girl who played Matilda!
29:00 "I don't know anything about dinos. I don't know smell-wise. I don't know anything." Well _this_ much is universal and enduring. If you find yourself out in the wild, any animal you encounter, more likely, is motivated by _hunger_ than _anger._ The bigger the _animal,_ the bigger the _hunger._
"Welcome... to Jurassic Park." What made this movie the groundbreaking flick that we know today, was the use of Practical Effects with CGI mixed in. If this movie was made today, CGI would have been used for everything and it wouldn't have looked good. Fun Fact: Michael Crichton said that his views on science and genetic engineering are largely expressed by Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). Steven Spielberg saw many parallels to himself in the character of John Hammond (Richard Attenborough). Fittingly, he cast a fellow filmmaker in the role, who begins his tour of the park by showing a movie in which he also acts. While Malcolm is dressed entirely in black, Hammond wears all white. Lost In Adaptation Fact: The Mr. DNA cartoon was Steven Spielberg's way of condensing much of the novel's exposition into a few minutes. Not The Virus Fact: The guests' encounter with the sick Triceratops ends without any clear explanation as to why the animal is sick. Michael Crichton's original novel and the screenplay, however, include an explanation: the Stegosaurus/Triceratops lacked suitable teeth for grinding food, and so, like birds, would swallow rocks and use them as gizzard stones. In the digestive tract, these rocks would grind the food to aid in digestion. After six weeks, the rocks would become too smooth to be useful, and the animal would regurgitate them. When finding and eating new rocks to use, the animal would also swallow West Indian Lilac berries. The fact that the berries and stones are regurgitated explains why traces of them are not found in the animal's excrement.
When this movie came out, I was so excited to see it that I rode my bicycle to the cinema at 11PM (2300) to see it, and I saw it in the cinema more than once.
I witnessed this, yes, witnessed this 6 times in theaters as a kid. With different people every time. I loved Dinosaurs before, but that's how epic it was. Feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples gives you chills forever. Back when CGI was used but not abused.
Saw this on opening night when i was13. At the power restoration seen where you jumped, the woman next to me in the theatre screamed, grabbed me and put her face in my shoulder. dont feel too bad, at least you didnt do that.
I was 12 in 1993. I had already read the book before the movie came out. I was also a big Spielberg fan at the time as well (Raiders, Jaws, Hook, and Close Encounters were some of my favorite movies--I still love 3 of those movies). I was really looking forward to this movie. It didn't disappoint. It was amazing to see in theaters the first time. The only movies that I can think of that built up that much anticipation for me and completely paid off are The Matrix in 1999, The Dark Knight in 2008 and Endgame in 2019.
Every reactor takes the "thanks dad" to mean it's his son. He's not, it's sarcasm. He says it because he thinks his boss is being overbearing. I don't think sarcasm is understood much these days. I don't recall anyone thinking that was his dad back when this first came out, not even my kids. Times change.
I give her a pass on that one since English is obviously not her first language but it amazes me how many other English as their first language reactors make the same mistake. I mean come on, pay attention! Not only does Nedry call him Hammond not father when talking to Dodgeson, but he even calls him John a few seconds earlier here in the thanks dad conversation.
Dennis Nedry, the sabotage theif, is not actually the son of John Hammond, the park director. His "ok dad" was just like a brush off 'thanks for the lecture' comment. Great reaction though. This film definitely exponentially boosted all the young boys of the times love for dinos. Its was also one of the early giant leaps forward for CGI and also like one of the most complicated and largest animatronic build outs as well!
I've watched a number of reactions to this and there seems to be a sharp dividing line between native English speakers and non native English speakers in how they perceive this line. Nearly every non native speaker seems to not pick up on it being a sarcastic comment. I actually find it fascinating because it seems to happen even with highly fluent English speakers, but it never even occurs to a native speaker that it's not a joke.

Great movie, fantastic sound design,but the film that I left the cinema with a splitting headache from the sound was 1996s TWISTER. You should react to TWISTER if you haven't yet. Its a fun and fantastic popcorn flick!
I read the book before the movie came out and while reading it I thought, damn, this would be a great movie. Little did I know that the filming had recently started. Loved the book and the movie.
lol the T rex wasn't CGI, they built that thing. Although you're the only one I've ever seen who acknowledges that the kids aren't stupid for NOT KNOWING TO NOT MOVE. I mean seriously, no one told them, how are they supposed to know? (Yeah they're still stupid for doing it but that's because they're kids. "Kids are stupid." - Marv)
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.
The film actually has excellent audio. What you describe sounds very much like a playback problem to me. What kind of audio format does the film have? DTS 7.1? Probably a problem downmixing for headphones on your computer.
When they made good movies. Unfortunately since were born movies SUCK now. Now they check boxes, not make art. This movie Changed movies forever with this tech.
YES!! MY #1 FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME! Before Steven Spielberg was picked to direct the film, Richard Donner, James Cameron, Tim Burton and Joe Dante were considered. Cameron was going to direct the project before Spielberg got the rights. Cameron said in an interview, celebrating the films 25th Anniversary, that "he wasn't the right choice to direct the movie, as his original version was going by to be too dark and scary for kids." Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Mel Gibson, Robin Williams, Tom Hanks, Sam Shepard, Pierce Brosnan, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Biehn, Tom Selleck, Jeff Bridges, Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, Dennis Quaid, Dylan McDermott, and Tom Sizemore were considered for Alan Grant. Kelly McGillis, Julia Roberts, Amanda Plummer, Joan Cusack, Debra Winger, Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt, Laura Linney, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Teri Hatcher, Elizabeth Hurley, Ally Sheedy, Geena Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan, Jodie Foster, Nicole Kidman, Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields, Daryl Hannah, Sharon Stone, Jennifer Grey Linda Hamilton, Christina Applegate, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright, Kyra Sedgwick, Uma Thurman, Juliette Binoche, Sandra Bullock, Sherilyn Fenn, Heather Graham, Lisa Rinna, Renee Zellweger, Kim Raver, Mariska Hargitay, Juliette Lewis, Genevieve Bujold, and Kim Basinger were considered for Ellie Satler. Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Bruce Campbell, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson, Michael J Fox, and Bill Paxton were considered for Ian Malcolm. Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Ian Bannen, Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando, and Jon Pertwee were considered for John Hammond. Jeffrey Jones, Bob Hoskins, Brian Cox, and Geoffrey Rush were considered for Robert Muldoon. Christina Ricci and Claire Danes were considered for Lex Murphy. The movie was filmed in location at Kauai, Hawaii, Death Valley, California (Fossil Dog Site), Warner Bros Studio (T.Rex Paddock, Raptors In The Kitchen, and the Genetics Lab), and Universal Studios (Interior Visitor Center). The film was a box office and critical success, making $900 million dollars against a $65 million dollar budget. It's now made $1.8 billion dollars today. It won 3 Oscars: Best Visual Effects Best Sound Editing Best Sound Mixing.
Well, we weren't exactly idiots in 1993, we could actually understand "big" words. Actually, comparing educational universal standardized testing scores you would see that those scores here in the U.S have steadily declined from 1978 to present day. The younger generation of today are really great at using the electronic technology that was developed in the 1980s and 1990's. There has been no new technology developed in the past 2 decades, only the modification of technology developed in the past. Example, computer chips were not developed recently, but hey have been modified and improved upon.
8:15- He did play Santa Claus and he was great at it. Movie is called "Miracle on 34th Street" 9:27- Now that's acting. I don't know what they doing nowadays, but this is true acting. Except Judy Greer, she is a pro.
The problem is with CGI they stopped making movies with content all computer graphics and no story. Made for today when TikTok kids have the attention span of the fossilised mosquito. .
For your audio volume challenges, take a look at the settings for either your video player or your PC audio. There is usually an option to "Normalize" the sound levels. That will make the dialog louder, and the action scenes quieter. It makes a huge difference for stuff like this. If you don't see that option anywhere, you might be able to download a separate app that will provide an audio equalizer with the option for Normalizing the sound levels.
Twenty years old, and the movie still stands up extremely well. The introduction of the T-Rex is my favorite scene - all these years since, so many times watching it, and I STILL find it scary. :)
Yes, for more than two straight months, after shooting the harrowing scenes for Schindler's List during the day, he would spend hours teleconferencing with folks at the studios in L.A., viewing and discussing edits of Jurassic Park scenes. He said it was a real struggle dealing with the jarring differences between the two projects. It really strained his sanity.
Michael Crichton wrote this book. He's a prolific writer! Many good books made into movies! His first monster book made into a movie is, Congo. A very good movie, I wish they would have done sequels!
Jurrasic park, congo, sphere, timeline, disclosure. And also E.R. (the series) he also wrote the lost world but only after spielberg wanted a sequel to Jurrsic park that he could adapt
The first movie based on one of his books was The Andromeda Strain from way back in 1971. Good movie, though the slow pace might put off a lot of people.
The real kick in the teeth with this movie? Hammond says over and over to everyone "We spared no expense" but he went cheap when hiring Nedry to do the computer system. That is the reason Nedry tried to steal the embryos from the island because he felt Hammond screwed him over. Maybe if Hammond hadn't went cheap when hiring Nedry none of what happened would have happened.
First saw this in 1993 when I was 11, on opening weekend. Most magic weekend at the cinema ever. Love your reaction too... Especially how you forgave the kids when they switch the light on in the car. Most people say she's stupid, but you have to remember, like you said, they're kids, and they're panicking. The thing with the breeding was expanded somewhere as well. It's spoken about in the book, but there was an official website or book/novel, that explains the Raptors' behaviour in the movie. The Raptor referred to as The Big One by Muldoon, is said to be a male before it even came to the park. As Muldoon says, they bred 8 raptors, and the Big One was introduced to the other 7, and immediately took over the group, and killed all but 2 of the other Raptors. Leaving The Big One, and 2 subordinates. It was explained in the source that I can't find, what the people at the park didn't realise, was The Big One is male, and the 5 Raptors it killed were males... leaving the remainder of the group as The Big One, and 2 females that he can breed with. It's also shown in the original book, that the eggs that Grant and the kids found, were Raptor eggs... meaning there's more Raptors out in the park that nobody knows about, and worse of all, they're breeding. The original book goes deeper as well, when they use a computer tracker of how many Raptors there are, and instead of the 9 Raptors that they know about... they actually track that there's almost 40 Raptors loose in the park, plus the 9 that are in their paddock. Spared No Expense. The entirety of Jurassic Park is basically a satire of big companies, not giving a sh*t about their actions. Hammond constantly going on about expense... and yet, he cuts corners absolutely everywhere. No locks on doors, fences are inadequate, the main IT guy was underpaid or simply not paid at all, the security systems are weak asf... and Hammond just wants to bring children to this island that's a complete disaster. Even after everything falls apart, Sattler has to shout him down and tell him his failings because he's simply not seen them even after everything has gone wrong. Hammond in the book is worse than the movie version as well. In the book, he's a megalomaniac, who literally blames everyone to their faces about how pathetic they all are that HIS ideas weren't working. He even blames his own grandkids when he gets hurt after wandering away from the safety of the compound, and they're not even in the same vicinity as he is. Edit: The Rex appearance at the end... if you notice, the humans aren't moving, but the Raptor is... so Rexy simply did was she did, and went for the moving target :D Oh, and Rexy's eyesight, was a plot from the novel. Using amphibian DNA, the dinosaurs in the novel were all basically blind to other animals, including humans, unless they see movement. The Raptors didn't pick up that trait though, and were perfect hunters with perfect eyesight. They couldn't figure out how to include it in the movie though without long explanatory dialogue, so they simply made it that it was a scientific fact T-Rex could only hunt by seeing movement. Love your reaction though, BissFix!
The c g I when this came out Was huge. I saw it in the movie theaters with my family,. And I remember the audience just gasping at how the dinosaurs looked so real. My favorite dinosaur has always been the t rex, And they explain what happened to the dinosaurs on the Island in future movies Out of the franchise.
@@soth1sol For sure. And IMO practical effects still hold up to this day, if they are done good. In general, I always find it funny when younger people talk about "old movies" (and to me, Jurassic park isn't even that old, given that cinema had it's breakthrough in the 1920s) and that they are "pretty good for how old they are". Don't get me wrong, I love Bisscutes reactions. But IMO there is nothing like "it's good for how old it is". There are great movies - even visually - from all periods of film-making, and there are bad/mediocre movies from all periods. Sure, different times now. When I grew up you had to watch mostly what was on the few TV channels, and that was often older movies. So I was used to watch a lot of "not recent" stuff, and never made a big distinction between new, old and older movies in my head. If I would grow up these days, with tons of stuff coming our on a nearly daily basis, and all available instantly via internet, I would probably also watch all the recent stuff, and old movies would feel a little "strange".
@Robert J Oh yes, Ray Harryhausen, one of the GOATs of special effects. Love that they did a "tribute" to him with the skeletons in "Army Of Darkness".
I give her a pass on that one since English is obviously not her first language but it amazes me how many other English as their first language reactors make the same mistake. I mean come on, pay attention! Not only does Nedry call him Hammond not father when talking to Dodgeson, but he even calls him John a few seconds earlier here in the thanks dad conversation.
@@williamrosmer5629 I also was not criticising. As I said, I gave her a pass as English is not her first language. I specifically said my criticism was aimed at the English as a first language reactors who still get it wrong.
This movie came from a book by Michael Crichton, also called Jurassic Park. His books take about 30 pages to set up the story, then something goes wrong, then the action is non-stop.
9:06 The concept of an island full of dinos goes waay back in movie history - it's pretty much one of the big classic themes among monster-adventure movies. The original classic idea though was of finding a hitherto undiscovered island where there lived dinos already. What's new about Jurassic Park is the idea of having an amusement park of man-made dinos on the island.. As far as I know. - But please correct me if I'm wrong, if anyone knows otherwise: I'd love to hear of older movies unknown to me, about man-made dino attractions, if there are any.
14:37- "They should all be Destroyed" still the smartest thing anyone has ever said in the Jurassic Park or World movie series. Kill them all. That is the best option.
"What's that, at 3:08? Where do you know where to put the machine?" That's a sonar scanner; like conventional radar, you can tune the waves emitted by it in order to get a more "higher definition" image. About where to start scanning... that's the beauty of it: you don't (generally) know XD. What you basically would is to divide the zone you want to explore (based on some previous information that hints something must be buried there) into square sections and then you go, one by one, with the scanner, watching what it returns. Once you find something that seems promising, then you focus on that area with more powerful signals to get better images. "The guy playing John Hammond would be a nice Santa Claus" Well, someone else did it too XD. Check the 1994 film "Miracle on 34th Street" for that matter :P. "Why females and not only males" The film doesn't go that deep, but it's basically the easiest thing to do: for most species, female is the "default" configuration when a being is created (even for humans, that's why males have nipples and still some risk of having breast cancer: we were, at first, all females until chromosomes and hormones did their job). What is mentioned makes sense, from the design perspective: a hormone in the right time activates the cell changes that turn the female being into a male and, since they are negineering them... it's easier to skip that part of the process. "Thanks, 'dad'..." It's interesting how many modern reactors don't catch the sarcasm when Dennis Nedry says "Thanks, dad"; meaning he doesn't care about the "fatherly" philosphy Hammond is downing upon him to justify why he won't give him a pay rise. I mean, it's not something very strange... but it's curious how consistently across many channels different people miss Nedry is just disregarding Hammond, not exposing they are related. "Why she holds the mouse like that?" Mouses have come a long way, and while they were not "new" technology back in 1993, they weren't exactly widespread technology yet; not many people had PC's at home, and not all those who had them, included a mouse because the most used method to navigate the computer was to write command lines directly into the computer (so it was just the monitor, the CPU and the keyboard). Taking that into consideration, in the original novel the sequence where Lex turns on all the systems isn't "mouse based"; but a long command line adventure: she has to find her way into the system writing only with the keyboard as things go to hell around her (sadly, I guess that didn't translate well for the timing they wanted for the film). "I'm so hungry..." I know this was posted a while ago... but I hope you had something after finishing the reaction. Nice reaction.
I hadn't been to a theater in years but had to see this on the big screen when it first came out to get the full effect and that I suspect might have given you greater appreciation, too. The good news, though, is that you have seen the first movie so you now know what the franchise is all about and that is all you really need to see. Everyting after that is simply a way for the studio to cash in on its original investment by making sequels of the same wuality but at a fraction of the original expense. The problem with that idea however is that there is no longer any novelty to the concept. Every succeeding sequel is simply trying to find a new way to show people being eaten by dinosaurs while all the heroic characters escape. In other words: Same old, same old. My advice, skip the sequels and proceed directly to the 4 movies in the INDIANA JONES franchise. And senator one more thing. Love the accent.
This movie came out when I was like 6 or 7....I was way too young but my dad decided to take me to the movie theater....well the CGI (at the time) blew me away.....but the scene with the dude who gets spit on by that crazy looking lizard dinosaur scared the SHIT out of me 😂
I was 8 years old when this movie came out, and I was completely obsessed. I saw it in theaters as many times as I could convince someone to take me. I even pre-ordered the vhs tape from blockbuster video. So, it definitely made a pretty big impression on me growing up, lol.
Yup, I saw this in a theater back in 1993 (I was 24) and it blew me and everyone away. First movie to ever use CGI extensively. After this you could see every movie afterwards start using CGI, since Spielberg proved you can make realistic monsters with computers.
They were going to use stop motion. But one of the team showcased a CGI T-Rex and they changed their mind. They still used the expert stop-motion people to help animate it though, because their movement expertise was invaluable
I was 15 when this came out and took a beautiful girl who I had been pining over for ages to see it in the cinema. Sadly I was SOOOO entranced by this movie that I pretty much ignored her! 😫😜 I apologize to her, and sometimes wonder what might have been... but, DUDE! This movie!!! One of the best ever made. Still makes me SOOOO happy 30 years later! Just an absolute classic. Tight script. Great performances. Magnificent score. Groundbreaking CGI that mostly still holds up alongside magical animatronics. Award winning sound. Fantastic direction and cinematography. A brilliant example of film.
"Still watchable..." Oh boy.🤦♂ I don't like many of Spielberg's movies, he really likes to emotionally manipulate the audience. But this one is a timeless classic, no questions about it. It's pure sense of wonder and adventure! Modern action movies don't even come close in creativeness and fun.
(Round 27:40) I'm sure someone else commented, but most of the dinosaurs used were animatronics. This is the era they were transitioning from Animatronics to CGI and there was a running joke behind the scenes where someone asked the animatronic people gonna do now that they don't have to build robots anymore and guy said that he's out of a job and a CGI guy said "Don't you mean extinct?" Everybody thought that was hilarious and decided to put it in the movie. ALSO, the scene where the T-Rex breaks the glass roof to the jeep was not in the script, the was an actual hurricane passing through Hawaii where they were filming and water had gotten into the machinery and the T-Rex had malfunctioned. Those scream are completely real and authentic.
Yess Ma'am Amazing 💯 and hey that famous restroom scene where the really mean old weenie lawyer guy selfishly abandoned the poor kids 😥 Rexy found him anyway lol just Bites him up shaking him around like a fun doggy chew toy before eating him up it was actually pretty funny looking would you agree with me?
I love watching your reactions, and I love your accent ❤ I've always been a big Spielberg and a big dinosaur fan, so I loved this movie. I saw it about a dozen times in the theater. It's based on a book of the same name by Michael Crichton. Hammond wasn't Nedry's dad. Nedry was being sarcastic because Hammond was lecturing him. The device the paleontologists were using to locate the raptor was a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). I think it was a relatively new technology at the time, but nowadays is commonly used in paleontology, archeology, construction, etc. It sends radar pulses into the ground and measures the time it takes for them to return, to give an image of objects or voids under the ground. The Velociraptors in the film were much bigger than they were in real life. In reality they were about the size of a turkey. What were in the movie were much closer to Deinonychus. I guess Spielberg decided that six foot raptors were scarier. Also, it's not true that the T-rex's vision was based on movement. In reality, the T-rex would eat you, whether or not you were moving. Finally, cloned dinosaurs would have a hard time surviving in today's world. Today's average temperatures are 5-10 degrees Celsius cooler that they were in the Cretaceous period, and the oxygen levels now are about 30% lower. The T-rex chasing their Jeep would have had to stop and catch her breath every few steps. Yes, you should watch the sequel. The third movie is optional. It's not as good, but should be seen if you're a dinosaur fan. As a big Steven Spielberg fan, I highly recommend watching more of his movies. You should definitely start with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Also worth checking out are Jaws, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, and The Terminal.
09:47 I got to see this when it came out (I was ten), and to this day it has remained my FAVORITE movie theatre experience!!! It was iiiiincredible!!! I'll never forget the first t-rex scene, my knees were shaking b/c I was filled with so much adrenaline. :D Also, I have a guess that the cartoon you said you watched might've been, "The Land Before Time". That was a childhood classic of mine too (of which I ALSO got to see in theatre when it came out, lol funny enough).
oh, this was much more of an interesting reaction than I would have guessed. It's definitely the most I've ever seen you jump in your reactions. I saw this in theatres when it came out and had nightmares about both the t-rex and raptors for a while. I was like 7 or 8. Still love your R rolls.
In 93 i was just a little kid and this movie haunted me at night especially the scene with the spitting dino. Later i start to appreciate more the movie without the childish fear and today is one of my favorite. I love all dinosaurs i wish they were all still alive.
So the trex looks better in some scenes because when it is close up and not moving long distances they used animatronics. When it had to run or do more complex movements it is CGI because it wouldn’t hold up for more complex movements. Also Dennis nedry is not John Hammond’s son. When he says dad he is being sarcastic.
Favorite Dino ?
Charizard 😂
Triceratops
T rex
Triceratops.
The noblest of all God's creatures: The Tyrannosaurus Rex.
I was a HUUUUGE dinophile as a child. This movie came out when I was 23. Seeing that first scene with the brachiosaurus nearly brought tears to my eyes--both with the glorious acting, and the absolute cutting edge CGI. This movie STANDS UP.
so did that brachiosaurus
Damn, I was 10!
I was 13 and saw it soooo many times in the theatres, and that brachiosaur scene with the swelling music by John Williams can STILL make me cry.
@@krisfrederick5001 I was -10 😅
@@amouramarie RIGHT?!?!?!
T Rex had incredible vision in reality :) also Nedry's death in the book is brutal.
"Nedry opened the car door, glancing back at the dinosaur to make sure it wasn't going to attack, and felt a sudden, excruciating pain in his eyes, stabbing like spikes into the back of his skull, and he squeezed his eyes shut and gasped with the intensity of it and threw up his hands to cover his eyes and felt the slippery foam trickling down both sides of his nose. Spit. The dinosaur had spit in his eyes.
Even as he realized it, the pain overwhelmed him, and he dropped to his knees, disoriented, wheezing. He collapsed onto his side, his cheek pressed to the wet ground, his breath coming in thin whistles through the constant, ever-screaming pain that caused flashing spots of light to appear behind his tightly shut eyelids.
The earth shook beneath him and Nedry knew the dinosaur was moving, he could hear its soft hooting cry, and despite the pain he forced his eyes open and still he saw nothing but flashing spots against black. Slowly the realization came to him. He was blind.
The hooting was louder as Nedry scrambled to his feet and staggered back against the side panel of the car, as a wave of nausea and dizziness swept over him. The dinosaur was close now, he could feel it coming close, he was dimly aware of its snorting breath.
But he couldn't see. He couldn't see anything, and his terror was extreme. He stretched out his hands, waving them wildly in the air to ward off the attack he knew was coming.
And then there was a new, searing pain, like a fiery knife in his belly, and Nedry stumbled, reaching blindly down to touch the ragged edge of his shirt, and then a thick, slippery mass that was surprisingly warm, and with horror he suddenly knew he was holding his own intestines in his hands. The dinosaur had torn him open. His guts had fallen out.
Nedry fell to the ground and landed on something scaly and cold, it was the animal's foot, and then there was new pain on both sides of his head. The pain grew worse, and as he was lifted to his feet he knew the dinosaur had his head in its jaws, and the horror of that realization was followed by a final wish, that it would all be ended soon."
Also, Hammond dies near the end of the book, scared away from the Visitor's Center by the kids making the computer let out dinosaur noises through the loudspeakers. He gets killed by little Compy's (like the ones from the second movie).
I'd like to point out in addition to the T-Rex vision information you provided, they were also way smarter than they were said to be in this movie. Some think that they may have been as smart as certain baboons. Which is terrifying.
Critchen is one of my all-time favorite authors. Man did a hero's worth of research for each and every novel he wrote.
7:11 he makes the same squeal as the dino that kills him
@@Gravydog316Dogson! We got Dogson here!!
Just a quick input: Nedry wasn't actually his son. That "okay, dad" was just meant as sarcasm.
Loved the reaction 😊
I've now watched reaction to several of my favorite movies, and the last three I did for Jurassic Park, they all think Nedry is Hammond's son. Makes me wonder if I thought so at some point. I was so young when I watched it for the first time.
@@Bevrast The problem is that adults react to this and they still think Nedry is Hammond's son. I'll give the non-native english speakers a pass, but there is no excuse for adult, native english speakers.
The explosion under the stand at the beginning of the movie (which you ask for an explanation) is a seismic scanner. It sends a shockwave into the ground, and measures its return signal. Very much like radar or sonar, it can show a picture of what is under the ground without digging.
Hi Bisscute. This movie was positively sensational in the cinema. That first scene with the T Rex was the money maker. This had the best audio effects in a movie I ever heard at the time. Spielberg actually had a full sized animatronic T REX built for this stomping around terrorizing in that scene. That alone is outstanding. The storm was real too because a hurricane hit Hawaii where this was filmed and the cast and crew had to be evacuated. Too, the CGI was in it's earliest stages back in 1993 and I think it still holds up beyond anything else from the '90s.
I don't think any of this was CGI, I'm pretty sure that in the original film it was all animatronics.
@@WJS774 stupid people say the dumbest shit 🤦♀
@@WJS774 This movie has 6 minutes of CGI which was created by the same team that did The Abyss alien sea water tentacle scene which was almost a minute long. I believe most of the T rex scenes were done with animatronics though. This movie did shoot CGI to the forefront of cinema technology though and paved the way for the CGI we have today. I did see this in the theater and it was AMAZING!!
He did play Santa Claus, in the remake of Miracle on 34th Street. He also directed one of the greatest movies of the 80s, Gandhi, for which he won an Academy Award.
Sir Richard Attenborough, fabulous actor and brother of sir David Attenborough
I was just fixing to tell her the exact same thing, lol..
I saw it when it came out in 1993 and for the time it was a masterpiece. Even today I consider it the best of the Jurassic Park \ World series
The shot of the banner falling down in front of the triumphant Rexy is one of the most iconic moments in film history for my taste. What a marvel this film was and how well it holds up.
I can't imagine how amazing it must have been seeing this film in cinemas for the first time, thirty years ago in 1993 especially with effects being used like this for basically the very first time I do know that films like the abyss and T2 used the liquid effects and willow the morph effects and so on
@@TaunTaunTundra4477 I don’t think anything compares. Because unlike, say seeing Star Wars for the first time in a theater or something that, until you did it, didn’t already live inside your imagination? Seeing dinosaurs for real was a dream you had already had, a wish you had already made. So when we share that moment with Grant and Satler seeing the Brach for the first time… nothing like it, ever
The same is true for other, older (and frankly, better) films. Jurassic Park is a marvel for special effects in a movie. But for pure filmmaking, seeing the scope of Lawrence of Arabia, Seven Samurai, or even something like The Wild Bunch, on a big screen is amazing. But as special effects go, fair point about seeing dinosaurs on a huge screen (still not real, though) being memorable.
@@Hexon66 Even though technically they were real at some point in the past and Jurassic Park here is just from the perspective of people who didn't know what we know now like the whole feathers on certain Dinosaurs and such
*in my opinion
When I first saw this movie, in theaters, I was 15. That's how old I am. It scared the _crap_ out of me. I _loved_ it.
Since then, it has come under a _lot_ of criticism for not being very scientific, but this criticism misses a _key point._ It _was_ very scientific in 1993. Science is what's called "a self-correcting process."
Whatever the field of science, it's always finding _more_ pieces of evidence. It's always conducting _more_ studies and experiments. It's _always_ improving. The paleontological consensus of 1993 was the best available at the _time_ and this movie was _based_ on it. A better consensus has come along _since_ them, but this doesn't change the fact that the picture we had of the world that existed, 65 million years ago, was the best _available_ as of 1993.
The animatronics and some cgi were the best for it’s time and still hold up today! Stan Winston made some amazing stuff in his time!
Yup, the owner, Hammond, was actually Santa in a movie, lol, but was also a phenomenal director as well. I would love for you to check out his Oscar winning film, Gandhi (1982). Otherwise... you're going to need a bigger goat ;)
Gandhi is one of the greatest movies ever made.
Miracle on 34th street I believe he played Santa and a good one at that 🎅
You mentioned Indiana Jones. You should ABSOLUTELY watch those. I guarantee you’ll have fun.
I saw that at the drive-in. A double feature of Raiders & Dragonslayer. I was 13. It was a good day🙂
When this movie was made they thought the T-Rex vision was based on movement,but the found out it is not,they had great vision
One of my favorite childhood movies. I was amazed by these creatures when I was little, so this movie coming out was a dream come true. 8:08 "He could play a great Santa Claus." In fact, he did play a great Santa Claus in the 1994 version of Miracle on 34th St. 46:38 That was the best jump scare I have seen in a hot minute.
29:44 how can you say something like this doesnt look fucking amazing? :O better than any cg even nowadays would
The stone the mosquito is in is called Amber. It's fossilized tree sap. You can find a lot of amber, but finding one with an insect preserved inside is something quite a bit more rare. That's what they were digging for near the beginning of the movie. That was an amber mine and they were looking for the ones with insects for Hammond. And yes Hammond has a HUGE polished piece of amber with an insect inside on the top of his cane. :)
Edit: Dennis is NOT Hammond's son. Dennis was being sarcastic when he said "thanks dad." :D
most of the effects are actually practical effects with some scenes being a combination of practical and CG.
Did you even read the book? The trike was not pregnant, it was sick from the west Indian lilac berries. The reason they could'nt find traces in the droppings was because the trikes used gizzard stones, which nobody knew about. The berries were with the gizzard stones after they were thrown up. It was a whole subplot that got cut from the movie.
@@noavailablename10000 I did but now I'm wondering. I read it YEARS ago online, like pre-RUclips years ago. I'm wondering why anyone would bother to rewrite a book and how much of it was rewritten. plus tagging on a supposed interview with Spielberg after which said tons of stuff including that. I thought it was an official copy, but clearly need to find an actual official copy because wtf 😳
Sad thing is, I had paid for it. Which is what you expect when you get a book online. at least at the time. I just don't get it. why rewrite something and sell it like it's the real thing? Why not just sell the real thing 😒
@@adiarainfoster That's incredibly weird. I've read the books at least 10 times over the last 20 years or so. If you still have it and can prove that's what your copy says, I'll check myself into a mental hospital, lol. I'm not a believer in the Mandela effect, but that one would be like a physical punch to the gut.

amazing how you say at the end Steven Spielberg "i heard that Name befor" hes just one of the most known and porbably one of the best film director, writer and producer.
The assumption that herbivores would be peaceful is unfounded. A rhinoceros, a hippo, male bovine, male African elephant all serve as warning examples.
It's funny you say that Hammond (Richard Attenborough) would make a great Santa Claus because he was Santa Claus! He was in the remake of the classic Christmas movie Miracle on 34th Street alongside Mara Wilson, the little girl who played Matilda!
29:00 "I don't know anything about dinos. I don't know smell-wise. I don't know anything."
Well _this_ much is universal and enduring. If you find yourself out in the wild, any animal you encounter, more likely, is motivated by _hunger_ than _anger._ The bigger the _animal,_ the bigger the _hunger._
I loved this movie because in the 90's the dinosaurs looks real
Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster..."
Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "Must GO FASTER!"
I am 100% naming my next D&D character Brak O'Zarrus (Or something).

What made this movie the groundbreaking flick that we know today, was the use of Practical Effects with CGI mixed in. If this movie was made today, CGI would have been used for everything and it wouldn't have looked good.
Fun Fact: Michael Crichton said that his views on science and genetic engineering are largely expressed by Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). Steven Spielberg saw many parallels to himself in the character of John Hammond (Richard Attenborough). Fittingly, he cast a fellow filmmaker in the role, who begins his tour of the park by showing a movie in which he also acts. While Malcolm is dressed entirely in black, Hammond wears all white.
Lost In Adaptation Fact: The Mr. DNA cartoon was Steven Spielberg's way of condensing much of the novel's exposition into a few minutes.
Not The Virus Fact: The guests' encounter with the sick Triceratops ends without any clear explanation as to why the animal is sick. Michael Crichton's original novel and the screenplay, however, include an explanation: the Stegosaurus/Triceratops lacked suitable teeth for grinding food, and so, like birds, would swallow rocks and use them as gizzard stones. In the digestive tract, these rocks would grind the food to aid in digestion. After six weeks, the rocks would become too smooth to be useful, and the animal would regurgitate them. When finding and eating new rocks to use, the animal would also swallow West Indian Lilac berries. The fact that the berries and stones are regurgitated explains why traces of them are not found in the animal's excrement.
the triceratops isn't sick, she was pregnant
@@soldiermedic45 dinosaurs laid eggs
@@christopherbowers7236 steel means she is pregnant because she didn't lay eggs yet. And a baby starts out and egg just don't have a shell around it
When this movie came out, I was so excited to see it that I rode my bicycle to the cinema at 11PM (2300) to see it, and I saw it in the cinema more than once.
There is no relationship between triceratops and rhinos.
Oh yeah...!
Honestly it's a fun film, but a little overrated imo. I'm not a big fan of the excessive CGI used today, but in this movie it's well done.
Indiana Jones is great. Except the last one. I don't know what happened there. I think some high schoolers
This movie was absolutely mindblowing and it still is! Best dinosaur movie EVER!
I can easily compare movies from the 90s to what we have now. They were much better than the crap that’s coming out these days.
I witnessed this, yes, witnessed this 6 times in theaters as a kid. With different people every time. I loved Dinosaurs before, but that's how epic it was. Feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples gives you chills forever. Back when CGI was used but not abused.
Saw this on opening night when i was13. At the power restoration seen where you jumped, the woman next to me in the theatre screamed, grabbed me and put her face in my shoulder. dont feel too bad, at least you didnt do that.
I was 12 in 1993. I had already read the book before the movie came out. I was also a big Spielberg fan at the time as well (Raiders, Jaws, Hook, and Close Encounters were some of my favorite movies--I still love 3 of those movies). I was really looking forward to this movie. It didn't disappoint. It was amazing to see in theaters the first time. The only movies that I can think of that built up that much anticipation for me and completely paid off are The Matrix in 1999, The Dark Knight in 2008 and Endgame in 2019.
I had just turned 11 in 1993, and this was the first movie I saw in theater. It blew me away!
*To this day Jurassic Park is the movie I have seen the most times in the theater of any movie including Star Wars.*
Every reactor takes the "thanks dad" to mean it's his son. He's not, it's sarcasm. He says it because he thinks his boss is being overbearing. I don't think sarcasm is understood much these days. I don't recall anyone thinking that was his dad back when this first came out, not even my kids. Times change.
I give her a pass on that one since English is obviously not her first language but it amazes me how many other English as their first language reactors make the same mistake. I mean come on, pay attention! Not only does Nedry call him Hammond not father when talking to Dodgeson, but he even calls him John a few seconds earlier here in the thanks dad conversation.
"I think he took his last poop", best line ever!
Dennis Nedry, the sabotage theif, is not actually the son of John Hammond, the park director. His "ok dad" was just like a brush off 'thanks for the lecture' comment.
Great reaction though. This film definitely exponentially boosted all the young boys of the times love for dinos.
Its was also one of the early giant leaps forward for CGI and also like one of the most complicated and largest animatronic build outs as well!
I've watched a number of reactions to this and there seems to be a sharp dividing line between native English speakers and non native English speakers in how they perceive this line. Nearly every non native speaker seems to not pick up on it being a sarcastic comment. I actually find it fascinating because it seems to happen even with highly fluent English speakers, but it never even occurs to a native speaker that it's not a joke.

The T-Rex vision being dependent on movement was made up for this movie.
So was most of the Raptor stuff.
Great movie, fantastic sound design,but the film that I left the cinema with a splitting headache from the sound was 1996s TWISTER. You should react to TWISTER if you haven't yet. Its a fun and fantastic popcorn flick!
I read the book before the movie came out and while reading it I thought, damn, this would be a great movie. Little did I know that the filming had recently started. Loved the book and the movie.
Richard Attenborough did play Santa in the remake of Miracle on 34th Street.
Also Nedry isn't Hammond's son, he was being dismissive because Hammond was lecturing him.

lol the T rex wasn't CGI, they built that thing. Although you're the only one I've ever seen who acknowledges that the kids aren't stupid for NOT KNOWING TO NOT MOVE. I mean seriously, no one told them, how are they supposed to know? (Yeah they're still stupid for doing it but that's because they're kids. "Kids are stupid." - Marv)
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.
The film actually has excellent audio. What you describe sounds very much like a playback problem to me. What kind of audio format does the film have? DTS 7.1? Probably a problem downmixing for headphones on your computer.
When they made good movies. Unfortunately since were born movies SUCK now. Now they check boxes, not make art. This movie Changed movies forever with this tech.
YES!! MY #1 FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!

Best Sound Mixing.
The CGI or maket of dino not great? Are you kidding me?!))) They much much better and livelier than in modern films))))
Well, we weren't exactly idiots in 1993, we could actually understand "big" words. Actually, comparing educational universal standardized testing scores you would see that those scores here in the U.S have steadily declined from 1978 to present day. The younger generation of today are really great at using the electronic technology that was developed in the 1980s and 1990's. There has been no new technology developed in the past 2 decades, only the modification of technology developed in the past. Example, computer chips were not developed recently, but hey have been modified and improved upon.
8:15- He did play Santa Claus and he was great at it. Movie is called "Miracle on 34th Street" 9:27- Now that's acting. I don't know what they doing nowadays, but this is true acting. Except Judy Greer, she is a pro.
The problem is with CGI they stopped making movies with content all computer graphics and no story. Made for today when TikTok kids have the attention span of the fossilised mosquito. .
For your audio volume challenges, take a look at the settings for either your video player or your PC audio. There is usually an option to "Normalize" the sound levels. That will make the dialog louder, and the action scenes quieter. It makes a huge difference for stuff like this. If you don't see that option anywhere, you might be able to download a separate app that will provide an audio equalizer with the option for Normalizing the sound levels.
Twenty years old, and the movie still stands up extremely well. The introduction of the T-Rex is my favorite scene - all these years since, so many times watching it, and I STILL find it scary. :)
It's even thirty years old.
30 years lol
Make that 30 ;)
Math is hard.

I just found out recently that Steven Spielberg did this movie and Schindler's List in the same year. That's some amazing talent.
Yes, for more than two straight months, after shooting the harrowing scenes for Schindler's List during the day, he would spend hours teleconferencing with folks at the studios in L.A., viewing and discussing edits of Jurassic Park scenes. He said it was a real struggle dealing with the jarring differences between the two projects. It really strained his sanity.
Michael Crichton wrote this book. He's a prolific writer! Many good books made into movies! His first monster book made into a movie is, Congo. A very good movie, I wish they would have done sequels!
Jurrasic park, congo, sphere, timeline, disclosure. And also E.R. (the series) he also wrote the lost world but only after spielberg wanted a sequel to Jurrsic park that he could adapt
The first movie based on one of his books was The Andromeda Strain from way back in 1971. Good movie, though the slow pace might put off a lot of people.

The real kick in the teeth with this movie?
Hammond says over and over to everyone "We spared no expense" but he went cheap when hiring Nedry to do the computer system.
That is the reason Nedry tried to steal the embryos from the island because he felt Hammond screwed him over.
Maybe if Hammond hadn't went cheap when hiring Nedry none of what happened would have happened.
This reactors obsession with CGI is so bizarre. This movie had top of the line visuals in regards to CGI and practical effects during it's time.
First saw this in 1993 when I was 11, on opening weekend.
Most magic weekend at the cinema ever.
Love your reaction too...
Especially how you forgave the kids when they switch the light on in the car. Most people say she's stupid, but you have to remember, like you said, they're kids, and they're panicking.
The thing with the breeding was expanded somewhere as well.
It's spoken about in the book, but there was an official website or book/novel, that explains the Raptors' behaviour in the movie.
The Raptor referred to as The Big One by Muldoon, is said to be a male before it even came to the park.
As Muldoon says, they bred 8 raptors, and the Big One was introduced to the other 7, and immediately took over the group, and killed all but 2 of the other Raptors.
Leaving The Big One, and 2 subordinates.
It was explained in the source that I can't find, what the people at the park didn't realise, was The Big One is male, and the 5 Raptors it killed were males... leaving the remainder of the group as The Big One, and 2 females that he can breed with.
It's also shown in the original book, that the eggs that Grant and the kids found, were Raptor eggs... meaning there's more Raptors out in the park that nobody knows about, and worse of all, they're breeding.
The original book goes deeper as well, when they use a computer tracker of how many Raptors there are, and instead of the 9 Raptors that they know about... they actually track that there's almost 40 Raptors loose in the park, plus the 9 that are in their paddock.
Spared No Expense.
The entirety of Jurassic Park is basically a satire of big companies, not giving a sh*t about their actions.
Hammond constantly going on about expense... and yet, he cuts corners absolutely everywhere.
No locks on doors, fences are inadequate, the main IT guy was underpaid or simply not paid at all, the security systems are weak asf... and Hammond just wants to bring children to this island that's a complete disaster.
Even after everything falls apart, Sattler has to shout him down and tell him his failings because he's simply not seen them even after everything has gone wrong.
Hammond in the book is worse than the movie version as well. In the book, he's a megalomaniac, who literally blames everyone to their faces about how pathetic they all are that HIS ideas weren't working. He even blames his own grandkids when he gets hurt after wandering away from the safety of the compound, and they're not even in the same vicinity as he is.
Edit: The Rex appearance at the end... if you notice, the humans aren't moving, but the Raptor is... so Rexy simply did was she did, and went for the moving target :D
Oh, and Rexy's eyesight, was a plot from the novel. Using amphibian DNA, the dinosaurs in the novel were all basically blind to other animals, including humans, unless they see movement.
The Raptors didn't pick up that trait though, and were perfect hunters with perfect eyesight.
They couldn't figure out how to include it in the movie though without long explanatory dialogue, so they simply made it that it was a scientific fact T-Rex could only hunt by seeing movement.
Love your reaction though, BissFix!
Richard Attenborough DID play Santa Claus - in the 1994 remake of Miracle on 34th Street
The c g I when this came out Was huge. I saw it in the movie theaters with my family,. And I remember the audience just gasping at how the dinosaurs looked so real. My favorite dinosaur has always been the t rex, And they explain what happened to the dinosaurs on the Island in future movies Out of the franchise.
Hammond isn't Dennis Nedry's father. Nedry is being sarcastic when he says "thanks, dad".
Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 have been the two groundbreaking movies in regards of CGI. It was really mind-blowing back when they came out.
re: practical effects, too!
the (seamless) BALANCE between the two was on another level.
@@soth1sol For sure. And IMO practical effects still hold up to this day, if they are done good.
In general, I always find it funny when younger people talk about "old movies" (and to me, Jurassic park isn't even that old, given that cinema had it's breakthrough in the 1920s) and that they are "pretty good for how old they are". Don't get me wrong, I love Bisscutes reactions. But IMO there is nothing like "it's good for how old it is". There are great movies - even visually - from all periods of film-making, and there are bad/mediocre movies from all periods.
Sure, different times now. When I grew up you had to watch mostly what was on the few TV channels, and that was often older movies. So I was used to watch a lot of "not recent" stuff, and never made a big distinction between new, old and older movies in my head. If I would grow up these days, with tons of stuff coming our on a nearly daily basis, and all available instantly via internet, I would probably also watch all the recent stuff, and old movies would feel a little "strange".
@Robert J Oh yes, Ray Harryhausen, one of the GOATs of special effects. Love that they did a "tribute" to him with the skeletons in "Army Of Darkness".
The fat guy is not actually the old man's son. He was making a joke that the old man was giving advice like his father even though he was not
I give her a pass on that one since English is obviously not her first language but it amazes me how many other English as their first language reactors make the same mistake. I mean come on, pay attention! Not only does Nedry call him Hammond not father when talking to Dodgeson, but he even calls him John a few seconds earlier here in the thanks dad conversation.
@@ivaneames4354 i wasn't criticizing but informing.
@@williamrosmer5629 I also was not criticising. As I said, I gave her a pass as English is not her first language. I specifically said my criticism was aimed at the English as a first language reactors who still get it wrong.
@@ivaneames4354 i thought you were saying i was
@@williamrosmer5629 Sorry if it seemed that way, it wasn't meant to be.
This movie came from a book by Michael Crichton, also called Jurassic Park. His books take about 30 pages to set up the story, then something goes wrong, then the action is non-stop.
yes they were herbivore, but being an herbivore doesn't make one peaceful. Look at some videos of Hippos
9:06 The concept of an island full of dinos goes waay back in movie history - it's pretty much one of the big classic themes among monster-adventure movies. The original classic idea though was of finding a hitherto undiscovered island where there lived dinos already. What's new about Jurassic Park is the idea of having an amusement park of man-made dinos on the island.. As far as I know. - But please correct me if I'm wrong, if anyone knows otherwise: I'd love to hear of older movies unknown to me, about man-made dino attractions, if there are any.
14:37- "They should all be Destroyed" still the smartest thing anyone has ever said in the Jurassic Park or World movie series. Kill them all. That is the best option.
"I think he took his last poop." LOL! Truer words have never been spoken.
You should watch Jurassic park the Lost world then Jurassic park 3 in that order there both good films too
"What's that, at 3:08? Where do you know where to put the machine?"
That's a sonar scanner; like conventional radar, you can tune the waves emitted by it in order to get a more "higher definition" image. About where to start scanning... that's the beauty of it: you don't (generally) know XD. What you basically would is to divide the zone you want to explore (based on some previous information that hints something must be buried there) into square sections and then you go, one by one, with the scanner, watching what it returns. Once you find something that seems promising, then you focus on that area with more powerful signals to get better images.
"The guy playing John Hammond would be a nice Santa Claus"
Well, someone else did it too XD. Check the 1994 film "Miracle on 34th Street" for that matter :P.
"Why females and not only males"
The film doesn't go that deep, but it's basically the easiest thing to do: for most species, female is the "default" configuration when a being is created (even for humans, that's why males have nipples and still some risk of having breast cancer: we were, at first, all females until chromosomes and hormones did their job). What is mentioned makes sense, from the design perspective: a hormone in the right time activates the cell changes that turn the female being into a male and, since they are negineering them... it's easier to skip that part of the process.
"Thanks, 'dad'..."
It's interesting how many modern reactors don't catch the sarcasm when Dennis Nedry says "Thanks, dad"; meaning he doesn't care about the "fatherly" philosphy Hammond is downing upon him to justify why he won't give him a pay rise. I mean, it's not something very strange... but it's curious how consistently across many channels different people miss Nedry is just disregarding Hammond, not exposing they are related.
"Why she holds the mouse like that?"
Mouses have come a long way, and while they were not "new" technology back in 1993, they weren't exactly widespread technology yet; not many people had PC's at home, and not all those who had them, included a mouse because the most used method to navigate the computer was to write command lines directly into the computer (so it was just the monitor, the CPU and the keyboard).
Taking that into consideration, in the original novel the sequence where Lex turns on all the systems isn't "mouse based"; but a long command line adventure: she has to find her way into the system writing only with the keyboard as things go to hell around her (sadly, I guess that didn't translate well for the timing they wanted for the film).
"I'm so hungry..."
I know this was posted a while ago... but I hope you had something after finishing the reaction. Nice reaction.
He would play a good Santa Clause?? LOL You're more right than you know girl. 😏
He isn't really his son. He was being sarcastic because he was correcting him like a parent would.
9:26 Dinos on an island pretty new? No, look at some old black and white stop motion pictures like King Kong. Not a new idea.
Check out Pelican Brief 1993.. great movie.
I hadn't been to a theater in years but had to see this on the big screen when it first came out to get the full effect and that I suspect might have given you greater appreciation, too.
The good news, though, is that you have seen the first movie so you now know what the franchise is all about and that is all you really need to see. Everyting after that is simply a way for the studio to cash in on its original investment by making sequels of the same wuality but at a fraction of the original expense. The problem with that idea however is that there is no longer any novelty to the concept. Every succeeding sequel is simply trying to find a new way to show people being eaten by dinosaurs while all the heroic characters escape. In other words: Same old, same old.
My advice, skip the sequels and proceed directly to the 4 movies in the INDIANA JONES franchise.
And senator one more thing. Love the accent.
This movie came out when I was like 6 or 7....I was way too young but my dad decided to take me to the movie theater....well the CGI (at the time) blew me away.....but the scene with the dude who gets spit on by that crazy looking lizard dinosaur scared the SHIT out of me 😂
I saw THE TERMINATOR when i was 8 years old.
..... newman!
@@MATT-2033 "total recall" at 6 will do something to yuh
you write "yuh" instead of "you" into late 30s for example
48:34 "My cat knows how to open doors."
I once knew a _dog_ who had figured how to open a _gate._
like before viewing. thank you for my memories.;-)
A lot of the effects for the t rex was practical effects. Thats why you think the cgi isnt so great.
As 90’s baby, having seen this as a small child, I still have nightmares about velociraptors 😂 my wife does too
Do you check the doors and windows of every house you go in for potential raptor entry points?
@@sianne79 it is a consideration, yes
This was top special effects for 1993.
I was thirteen in '93 and was blown away.
I was 8 years old when this movie came out, and I was completely obsessed. I saw it in theaters as many times as I could convince someone to take me. I even pre-ordered the vhs tape from blockbuster video. So, it definitely made a pretty big impression on me growing up, lol.
"I think he took his last poop" is prob the funniest thing I've heard in the last few months, thanks for that 😂😂😂
Yup, I saw this in a theater back in 1993 (I was 24) and it blew me and everyone away. First movie to ever use CGI extensively. After this you could see every movie afterwards start using CGI, since Spielberg proved you can make realistic monsters with computers.
I miss this era, where cgi wasn't quite good enough to replace everything. A nice mix of practical effects
@@chadjenkins4876 Yeah, that's where CGI shines the best, when you have equal amounts of in-camera FX.
They were going to use stop motion. But one of the team showcased a CGI T-Rex and they changed their mind. They still used the expert stop-motion people to help animate it though, because their movement expertise was invaluable
@@christopherbowers7236 I never knew that.
I was 15 when this came out and took a beautiful girl who I had been pining over for ages to see it in the cinema. Sadly I was SOOOO entranced by this movie that I pretty much ignored her!
😫😜
I apologize to her, and sometimes wonder what might have been... but, DUDE! This movie!!!
One of the best ever made.
Still makes me SOOOO happy 30 years later! Just an absolute classic. Tight script. Great performances. Magnificent score. Groundbreaking CGI that mostly still holds up alongside magical animatronics. Award winning sound. Fantastic direction and cinematography.
A brilliant example of film.
"Still watchable..." Oh boy.🤦♂
I don't like many of Spielberg's movies, he really likes to emotionally manipulate the audience. But this one is a timeless classic, no questions about it. It's pure sense of wonder and adventure!
Modern action movies don't even come close in creativeness and fun.
Emotional manipulation is what film is all about. if a film isn't doing that the director did a poor job.
(Round 27:40) I'm sure someone else commented, but most of the dinosaurs used were animatronics.
This is the era they were transitioning from Animatronics to CGI and there was a running joke behind the scenes where someone asked the animatronic people gonna do now that they don't have to build robots anymore and guy said that he's out of a job and a CGI guy said "Don't you mean extinct?" Everybody thought that was hilarious and decided to put it in the movie.
ALSO, the scene where the T-Rex breaks the glass roof to the jeep was not in the script, the was an actual hurricane passing through Hawaii where they were filming and water had gotten into the machinery and the T-Rex had malfunctioned. Those scream are completely real and authentic.
Yess Ma'am Amazing 💯 and hey that famous restroom scene where the really mean old weenie lawyer guy selfishly abandoned the poor kids 😥 Rexy found him anyway lol just Bites him up shaking him around like a fun doggy chew toy before eating him up it was actually pretty funny looking would you agree with me?
I love watching your reactions, and I love your accent ❤
I've always been a big Spielberg and a big dinosaur fan, so I loved this movie. I saw it about a dozen times in the theater. It's based on a book of the same name by Michael Crichton.
Hammond wasn't Nedry's dad. Nedry was being sarcastic because Hammond was lecturing him.
The device the paleontologists were using to locate the raptor was a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). I think it was a relatively new technology at the time, but nowadays is commonly used in paleontology, archeology, construction, etc. It sends radar pulses into the ground and measures the time it takes for them to return, to give an image of objects or voids under the ground.
The Velociraptors in the film were much bigger than they were in real life. In reality they were about the size of a turkey. What were in the movie were much closer to Deinonychus. I guess Spielberg decided that six foot raptors were scarier. Also, it's not true that the T-rex's vision was based on movement. In reality, the T-rex would eat you, whether or not you were moving. Finally, cloned dinosaurs would have a hard time surviving in today's world. Today's average temperatures are 5-10 degrees Celsius cooler that they were in the Cretaceous period, and the oxygen levels now are about 30% lower. The T-rex chasing their Jeep would have had to stop and catch her breath every few steps.
Yes, you should watch the sequel. The third movie is optional. It's not as good, but should be seen if you're a dinosaur fan. As a big Steven Spielberg fan, I highly recommend watching more of his movies. You should definitely start with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Also worth checking out are Jaws, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, and The Terminal.
He did play a santa clause 😂 miracle on 34th street
This movie is a masterpiece. Its practical and special effects still hold up and surpasses most of what is released today.
09:47 I got to see this when it came out (I was ten), and to this day it has remained my FAVORITE movie theatre experience!!! It was iiiiincredible!!! I'll never forget the first t-rex scene, my knees were shaking b/c I was filled with so much adrenaline. :D
Also, I have a guess that the cartoon you said you watched might've been, "The Land Before Time". That was a childhood classic of mine too (of which I ALSO got to see in theatre when it came out, lol funny enough).
oh, this was much more of an interesting reaction than I would have guessed. It's definitely the most I've ever seen you jump in your reactions. I saw this in theatres when it came out and had nightmares about both the t-rex and raptors for a while. I was like 7 or 8. Still love your R rolls.
No Jurassic Park movie has looked near as good as this one
Inital Trex intro with the Jeep is an actually animatronics. Giant robot trex that scared the child actors during the jeep-sunroof scene
Ahh
In 93 i was just a little kid and this movie haunted me at night especially the scene with the spitting dino. Later i start to appreciate more the movie without the childish fear and today is one of my favorite. I love all dinosaurs i wish they were all still alive.
My two Favorite T-Rex and Raptor
Seeing this in theatre was one of my first memories, I was 5 I think? Almost 5. I was blown away, had seen nothing like it. I was obsessed
So the trex looks better in some scenes because when it is close up and not moving long distances they used animatronics. When it had to run or do more complex movements it is CGI because it wouldn’t hold up for more complex movements. Also Dennis nedry is not John Hammond’s son. When he says dad he is being sarcastic.
