12:00 Alex: "it's like gold" Me: Gold-Blume perhaps?
The Goonies. It is a signature kid adventure movie.
guys if u gonna keep forwarding and cutting off the action scenes every 3 seconds then its pointless we cannot watch just 3 seconds from every scene without u cutting it off .. theres no need for the reaction im sorry .. this is so disappointing why r u cutting off even the dino scenes its just 4 or 5 scenes in the whole movie and u cannot keep it complete ? then what r u reacting to? and what are the kids gonna traumatize from exactly ? from watching wild animal eating other animal r u kidding ? .. are kids living in the caves (national geographic is just for adult now or what) its just animals for god sake kids love to watch this even in the school
Alex, you're obviously very knowledgeable about the natural world. So I presume you've heard of Sir David Attenborough, TVs' most famous naturalist. That's his brother Sir Richard Attenborough playing park owner John Hammond.
What this movie got that none of the other Jurassic movies get is the sense of child like wonder and awe with Dinosaurs. It both makes the film more enjoyable to watch, makes us like the characters, makes us love the dinosaurs, and then becomes the perfect set up for the horror to follow. So good.
I feel like out of all of them, JP3 feels the most like a PG-13 horror movie.
facts all around
@Mason Terminator 2 and others had used CGI before but none as great as Jurassic Park.
Fun fact, if you grew up watching this movie then you know the soundtrack by heart. The soundtrack is so good that even to this day hearing part of the music immediately transfers me to that part of the movie in my head.
I was in the camp of the people who had freshly read the book before going to see the movie.
A huge mistake.
As an adaptation it really sucks. I remember the first scene to be vastly different was the T-Rex feeding. In the movie that fails and so they have to continue the tour. In the book it doesn't fail.
From there it's all downhill in regards to faithfulness. But it still is a great movie. One just has to completely stop comparing it to the book.
@@Quotenwagnerianer I was wondering how it was as an adaption. I’ve both read and watched Timeline and... wow. TERRIBLE adaption.
The score is awesome. I have moments where I’ll be presenting in an exec level meeting & suddenly the main theme begins playing in my brain, which is....interesting! 😂
@@Quotenwagnerianer read the book premovie and it was a slogfest for the first 100 pages. A roller coaster afterwards but wow what a slow start.
@@danielrupp7578 I was so angry that they left out the Compys in the movie. Glad that they were in the sequel, but them not being in the first was a real mistake. As was turning Hammond into a nice grandfatherly figure instead of the carless and cold capitalist he was in the book and who deserved his demise.
"Kids watch this movie?"
Yeah, totally. And not gonna lie, that was my favorite movie when I was a kid. And it still is :)
Jaws was also PG.
It's the first movie I remember watching, sand it inspired my childhood obsession with dinosaurs.
magical film, I saw it in theaters when I was 11 or 12, it was HUGE for kids, the merchandise was incredible, my generations Star Wars basically
My parents watched three romance kingdom drama. During those times, people will have their heads chopped off.
And there was these nice rows of severed heads just sitting on the ground or table. MMMM MMM MMMMMMM
And I was still a kid prob around 5-8 years old.
They're heads. So what. Not like we live in those times. Oh wait....looks at Africa and Islam and China and entire world with human trafficking that's 100 times worse than it was in the past*
Yeah, apparently we still need guns actually. No joke. A Chinese virtual youtube got human trafficked for a year and she was the lucky one who was found by authorities.
I was 10 when I saw this... Note: never listen to dolphin sounds after watching this movie
“Children watched this movie??”
😃 I saw it in theaters at age 3, became the dinosaur kid, went on fossil digs, got a degree in geology, and became a science teacher. If I had not seen this movie, I really feel I would be a different person.
I love this story!
The novels are even darker and more intense
Oh for sure they are. They are so good
Nedry's death was so much better in the book and I probably would have murdered book Lex and blamed it on a dinosaur.
Especially how Hammond got mauled by the Procompsognathuses, and Tim, Lex and Dr. Grant get chased across the lake by the Tyrannosaurus rex after they woke her up.
@Emmanuel Araujo The OG Jurassic Park DOES explain the hybridization.
During the animation with Mr. DNA when Grant, Genero, Hammond, Ellie and Malcolm are in the small theater, Mr DNA explains that the holes in the dinosaurs' DNA had to be completed with modern frogs, to fill the missing pieces in and complete the genetic code.
After hearing this, Malcolm doubts the integrity of the single-sex control function in their DNA, and Grant later confirms it when he and the kids find the dinosaur nests in the park
Great reaction!
Imagine seeing this film on a huge screen when you are 10 years old. And then imagine - and this is the most important thing - NO ONE HAD EVER SEEN CGI CREATURES BEFORE! No one watching this movie now, who has grown up with CGI, can possibly imagine what this was like. It was like seeing a movie from another planet. If you enjoyed it this much now, think how it would have seemed then. And the CGI holds up better than a lot of modern CGI because they intercut it with animatronics and shot a lot in darkness and/or rain, and because it's really well directed and edited.
"What happens if the raptors learn how to use the internet?" They become trolls!
"These old 90's movies"
* clutches heart in 90's kid *
The actress who plays Lex is also in the Kevin Bacon monster flick Tremors, worth a watch too.
And in Angus!
And then I think she retired from it, or some such.
@@t0dd000 I believe she became a painter since retiring from acting, if I’m not mistaken.
@@AutoPilate I think she did Tremors 4: back to Perfection and after that, I haven't seen or heard of any movies she did. I think she paints and owns a gallery or something.
love tremors. its amazing how much can be done with a limited budget
"We're going to need a bigger goat."
;)
🤣🤣🤣 I love you!
Take your like and get out.
This comment is the GOAT!
Agreed. They should have called this film Even Bigger Jaws.
It won 3 Oscars:
Best Visual Effects
Best Sound Editing
Best Sound Mixing
Ok the sound design for the movie is incredible. I love the T-Rex roar. But who beat it out for Score?? It’s iconic!
@@jessaandalexwatch Schindler's List, which won 7 of its 12 Oscar nominations.
@@Fred_L. Which, of course, was also a Spielberg film.
@@Fred_L. ahh, and also John Williams, so fair enough! Tough competition that year.
@@adamlove3295 The absolute madman doing this and Schindler's List back to back the same year. Astonishing.
I still love how the pace of this movie every time make me feel immersed in the plausibility of a real Dinosaur Park gone wrong, showing less dinosaurs than the following movies. Just by grounding the action, with great characterizations, and making so relatable and human the scenes where there are no Dinos present.
This movie was EVERYTHING when it came out. I was 8 or 9 and literally every where you went it’s what people were talking about. Basketball court, grocery store, barbershop... remember this was way before social media so I’m sure most people went to see it based off word of mouth. Saw it twice the weekend it came out.
Fun Fact: little Timmy recently played bassist John Deacon for the Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody".
He also portrayed US Marine Eugene "Sledgehammer" Sledge in the HBO miniseries The Pacific
@@15blackshirt And the sniper Mouse in GI Joe: Retaliation.
I remember seeing this in the theaters when I was like 10 years old. It really WAS an impactful, phenomenal movie. They somehow managed to make a film that adults and kids could enjoy together, and could continue to enjoy for MANY years. My son is almost 10 now, but back when he was 6 he watched this movie. He LOVED it and made him want to learn more about dinosaurs. I'm so glad you both watched this for us! Thank you :)
I saw it in theaters when I was 3. I obviously don’t remember much from that except maybe the brachiosaurus in the tree scene, but it made a huge impact on my life. And I did get to see it again on theatrical re-releases, including IMAX 3D.
I was 22 or so and I remember wondering how they pulled off the dino effects (apart from a few animatronics). I knew CGI was a thing, but the last film I'd seen to that point with extensive CGI was The Last Starfighter.
I was 10 years old as well when I saw this film in the movie theater. 😎
unless you have a supreme home theatre set up, you can not appreciate the visceral impact of the first full volume T-Rex roar in THX
Made the house shake first time my dad hooked up 5.1 surround sound. In 1996. Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Star Wars, and Predator and a massive library on VHS. Good times.
I still remember that roar from watching this in the theater at 11 years old.
@@MichaelDavis-bj2bs same. I think I was 12 or 13. Back when going to see a movie could capture your imagination for the rest of your life.
Took my kids to see this in the theatre, no idea what to expect. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
Yeah, you can FEEL the sound going through your body.
Man I can remember watching this in theaters and the T Rex roar shook my seat.
I saw this in the theater when it came out. I was 9 years old and I was never so thrilled (or terrified). I saw it like 5 more times that summer. One of my favorite movies of all time. But I was a Dinosaur kid. Appreciate you awesome ladies!
Same. This was the talk of the town that whole summer.
I was 13 when it came out and didn't find it scary at all. My aunt however thought it was a horror movie.
In perhaps the most mind blowing feat ever, Spielberg filmed “Jurassic Park” and “Schindler’s List” in the same year. He’d finish filming in Poland and go back to his hotel and approve post-production shots on “Jurassic Park.” WILD!!!! 🤯🤯🤯
He was also heavily involved in decisions in Animaniacs at the time too, if I recall. Making things happen for the team behind it that others said no to.
"How could they mature so quickly?"
The park is just the fassade and presentation. The book actually mentions a 20 year span of planning this iirc.
Site B is the production, though.
I was around 9 when this came out. I saw it in theaters.
You can imagine the T-rex part, with the deep thudding footsteps. The bass shook the whole theater, the seats were trembling. closer and closer the steps came, founder and louder, the seats rumbling with each step. I was equal parts terrified and thrilled.
I was a bit of a dino kid. I was and still am partial to the Sauropods (the long necks)
Same here, except I was 19 lol. The T-Rex scene made me fear for my life. Loved it..! 😅
I was born 1 year after this movie came out and watched it when I was 1 years old. My mom tells me that it was the only movie that shut me up as a baby. And that's how my love for dinosaurs was born.
I saw this in theaters when I was a kid (about 8), and the 'Clever girl...' scene terrified me even though nothing is really shown.
As a young dino nerd, it bugged me then (and still does) that the 'raptors' look nothing like velociraptors and were modeled on the more terrifying, but less easy to pronounce, Deinonychus.
Something I discovered many years after seeing "Jurassic Park" was that the famous raptor claw wasn't used for slashing at all. It's basically a curved spike; very good for puncturing, but not for slashing. The prevailing hypothesis is that it was used like a mountaineer's crampon; a raptor would use it to grip onto larger prey as it climbed over its body, trying to find a vulnerable spot where its teeth could do some damage.
Which is A) terrifying and B) Something I absolutely would have mentioned when watching the movie, had I known it at the time. Because I'm THAT insufferable nerd that you can't watch movies with.
But while the movie was in production they discovered Utahraptor, and paleontologists promptly dubbed it "Spielberg's raptor".
It really should be "Crichton's raptor." He used deinonychus in his early drafts of the novel, but the publisher thought velociraptor sounded scarier so they asked him to change it.
When you asked if he was ok due to the insane laughter, it had nothing to do with the discussion. He was losing his mind over the amount of money they guy just handed to him in the bag.
I was a little kid when this movie came out (saw in the theater) and just the 1st scene (where you don't see the dinosaur or the blood or anything bad happen) terrified me to the point where I had to leave the theater with my parents for a few minutes before going back in. Once everyone gets to the park and everything starts unfolding I was too invested in it to be too scared anymore the characters were situation everything was too important to take my eyes off of.
I grew up watching this at 10 year old. Now I'm 39. Glad you guys love the movie I grew up with in my childhood
I was ten when this came out and our summer Rec club bused out out to the local theater to see it. One of the counselors warned "If you get scared, you can come and sit in the back of with me," and I'll never forget the trickle of frightened kids walking up the aisle that became a full stream when the T-Rex appeared. (Not to mention that special effects were a huge revolutionary leap at the time.) Top 10 movie going experiences ever.
One of the greatest, strong female characters ever created. Rexy! Which is this specific T-Rex fan name. She is also the one to come back in the Jurassic world movies. Betty whites age and still a badass just like her. 🤣
Rexy is EVERYTHING.
This is my favorite movie of all time I literally watch it 50 times a year I have a room in my house dedicated to it, I mean I am the definition of a nerd when it comes to this movie and I am obsessed beyond belief. It's the first movie I ever recall seeing in theaters but I fucking hate hate hate hate hate with every fiber of my being the fucking name rexy it is so stupid
This is a classic film, very re-watchable. I love when they're flying away at the end how the kids won't leave Alan's side. And he's okay with that.
Nedry wasn't a gambling addict. The book goes into more detail than the film (where some characters and events are different so it's not necessarily a 1-1 comparison), but basically what they did was give Nedry triple the work that he signed on for and refused to pay him more than what was already basically a discount (they hired the "lowest bidder", i.e. the person who charged the least). That doesn't excuse Nedry putting everyone's life in danger for industrial espionage, but it does continue to highlight that ultimately InGen's downfall was its own ignorance, mistreatment, and ill-preparedness
With as amazing as the whole movie is, the ending shot as they are flying away is my favorite moment. That sense of relief and exhaustion that it conveys as the adrenaline finally fades from them, and they can actually breathe for the first time that night is so perfectly done, with a killer score by John Williams. Great reaction, and great job on picking up on some of the themes of the movie.
"Would you really trust this gambling addict to get stuff for you?" - I always presumed that's why they went to Nedry in the first place. For corporate espionage he'd be an easy mark because he always needs money and probably won't have a problem doing something unethical to get it. He'd be a weak link in Hammond's chain.
If you look closely, during the feeding of the raptors, you can see the actors are trying not to laugh, because while we heard the raptor sounds in the movie, all they heard on set was Spielberg, making goofy noises into a bag with a megaphone.
Very apt to mention westworld and even make the connection. That said Michael Crichton (who helped write the screenplay for this movie) directed and wrote the original Westworld film 20 years before this came out, he didn't write a westworld novel (unless i am misunderstanding the commentary). Small detail but i am impressed nonetheless as this might be the first reaction channel to mention it.
Fun fact about him: He is the only person in history to have the #1 grossing movie (this movie), best-selling novel (disclosure) and the #1 viewed television show (ER) at the SAME TIME.
Also impressed at the knowledge of reptilian (although amphibian in the film) methods of reproduction to skirt the all female issue. Knew a problem with the park an hour before it shows up on film.
Also the scene was deleted from the movie, but he brought his grandkids to get away from the divorce of his daughter/their mother that was ongoing during this movie. it wasn't just for giggles.
The embryos featured multiple incorrect dinosaur spellings. Believe metriacanthosaurus (this one i might be wrong on) was misspelled which is forgivable...but they also misspelled tyrannosaurus and stegosaurus. lol
Pretty smart commentary. Caught a lot of things most don't.
Last note: This movie was so revolutionary that when George Lucas supervised ILM during post-prod because Spielberg was working on schindler's list it inspired him to remaster his original star wars movies and then make the prequels. Needless to point out all the other movies it inspired because of the CGI.
Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies. I never get tired watching it. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
I remember watching this as a 11 year old and to say it blew my mind is an understatement. I forced my parents to take me to see this like 5 times, it was an obsession for a good while and I remember a ton of the toys. This movie was as big as avatar when it came out.
So funny that Alex pegged Michael Crichton’s penchant for writing about theme park disasters.
But this was the only one that involved a theme park, was it not? Unless you count Lost World but there’s no real focus on that aspect.
@@lalalarose8197 They were referring to Westworld, which was also written (and directed) by Michael Chrichton and is also about a theme park where the attractions go berserk and kill the guests.
@@Warlocke000 Oh okay👌
@@lalalarose8197 1:13
i like how the theme of the story is chaos or entropy , which shows how one thing going wrong can lead to a whole bunch of things going wrong and how the story of the movie shows that
Pretty sure Laura Dern gets the only cuss word in this whole movie, and she makes great use of it, did you notice? Like, we can all relate. :D
John hammond says "Damn" to the power being out if that counts 🤣
@@ryanmalarik4398 I just remembered "one big pile of shit" as well haha, oops.
I was lucky enough to see this on opening night in the theaters. It was one of the defining moments of my childhood. Great memories!
It's like they asked Jeff Goldblum to play a punk rock scientist and he kills it. I do not blame the ladies if that makes them a little thirsty.
I admit it..... I WOULD.
When I saw this at the theater, I tried to pull the arms off the seat when the T rex whet after Alex and Tim!
I was 7 when this film came out and i still watch this film and Jurassic Park 2 and 3 often. I really enjoyed seeing your reactions to it and i really hope that you eventually watch the next two.
I envy people who watch this movie for the first time. Been my favorite movie since I was 5 years old and it made me want to be a paleontologist when I grew up.
I watched the scene where Donald Genaro gets eaten on the toilet seat when I was 5 and I was terrified to use the bathroom at school for a good 5 years because my elementary school bathroom reminded me of that bathroom but now I’m obsessed with the entire series!
lol I thought you line would end with that you are now obsessed with going to the bathroom
I was 5 years old when this movie came out. My parents and I went to a drive in theater to watch this. I couldn't watch the scene when Ellie was getting chased by the raptor, so I turned to look at Free Willy playing on another screen
🤣🤣🤣
I think Spielberg only realized after the fact that he’d made a movie that would traumatize every kid in America who demanded to go see “the dinosaur movie,” so he made the animated movie “We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story” which came out about 5 months later.
To be fair, I was pretty traumatized by "We're Back!" too.
Dinosaurs are totally fake though..
"Do you think, if this creature interacted with a giraffe, the giraffe would be like "grandpa!"?
Head Canon accepted because that's f***in adorable. In exactly that voice you just did, too!
This movie never gets old. Loved your reactions.
Agree 100%
5:51 He laughed like a little dinosaur that killed him lmao
I watched this 5 times in the cinemas when I was 7 back in 1993, still holds up so well.
I never realizing how scary this movie actually is 😂
Welcome to Jurassic Park
The movie won three Oscars: Best Visual Effects, Sound Mixing, and Sound Effects Editing. But John Williams wasn't nominated for Original Score. Instead he won for Schindler's List.
I fucking love Jeff Goldblum. I feel like we have something in common: we both look completely high half the time while being completely sober. Though, I act like I’m on cocaine and Jeff Goldblum acts like he’s on weed because he’s the total opposite of hyper😂😂😂
He's gotten even higher after I watched him on thor
@@chucknorris2266 yeah no shit 😂😂😂 pretty sure it was his idea to have a Willy Wonka reference in Thor Ragnarok 😂😂
@@drumaticpageofmusic4148 he doesn't look high at all
Fun fact time:
Those scenic shots of Jurassic Park are primarily in Kauai, Hawaii
Also, the Tyrannosaurus rex (except for the destruction of the SUV and other non-closeup shots) and Triceratops were animatronic.
The sounds the dinosaurs made were a mix of sounds made by living animals.
Velociraptor-A dolphin's high-pitched scream recorded with a hydrophone, a walrus's chest cavity roar
Dilophosaurus-A mix of a hawk, a swan, a howler monkey, and a rattlesnake
Tyrannosaurus rex-Baby elephant, dog playing with rope toy (the scene where she butchers a Gallimimus)
The best sarcastic line (for me) from Ian Malcolm is: "Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend"
Real talk:
The Tyrannosaurus rex scared me shitless as a kid, even though it's my favorite dinosaur.
I also learned that the dinosaur sounds were created using the sounds made by modern animals and objects.
The Dilophosaurus's sounds were made using the sounds made by a hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake
The Tyrannosaurus's sounds were made with the recorded trumpets of an elephant calf and the growls of a dog playing with a rope toy
The Raptors' vocalizations were created the sounds of a tortoise's mating call, an angry goose hiss, a walrus's chest cavity roar and a dolphin scream recorded underwater.
The Raptor hatchling was a mix of owlets and fox kits
The Brachiosaurus cry was the slowed down braying of a donkey and the sneeze was a mix of a whale breathing through its blowhole and a fire hydrant.
Also, you can thank the AMAZING John Williams for the incredible music in this movie. He's done some amazing musical scores. Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Superman, ET The Extraterrestrial, Harry Potter and Jaws to name a few.
And yeah, that Raptor popping up behind Ellie is always a jumpscare.
the magic of these movies is crossing CGI with real set props. the T-rex looking into the car and it's eye still holds as unnaturally realistic
Westworld wasn’t a book, but it was an original screenplay written and directed by Michael Crichton. He wrote a few other books that were turned into movies, such as The Andromeda Strain, Congo, Sphere, The Great Train Robbery (which he also directed), Eaters of the Dead (which became the movie The 13th Warrior), Timeline, Disclosure, and Rising Sun. 🤓 He also co-wrote and produced the movie Twister.
Ah, ok. I thought it was also a book. I knew about Timeline though. And talk about your... interesting adaptions!
Who would've imagined that the young boy in this movie, Joseph Mazzollo, would have another big screen hit almost 25 years later....playing Queen bassist John Deacon in the Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody.
He was also in the TV show The Pacific, and even before Jurassic Park was in a 90s movie with a young Elijah Wood called Radio Flyer. So talented
when this came out, for an even deeper emersion into the movie, certain theaters were equipped with sub-sonic equipment with the speakers. when a character asked, "Did you feel that?" the audience certainly did through their seats!
Oh man that is all at once amazing and truly terrifying!
“This is stressful!” Best comment and so true!
It really really is!
Fun fact: Tim is played by Joseph Mazzello who was 9 when he made this movie. He recently played Queen guitarist John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody. About 19.52, the running dinosaur sequence was originally planned as a static shot but Spielberg wanted the actors to have the dinosaurs running past them, something which the CGI animators at the time thought would be too difficult with the available technology. Spielberg really pushed the boat out on this film, technically.
They clocked the trex at 32 miles an hour.... yes, two little children can outrun that. 🤣
I worked concession at Cineplex Odeon (now it's an AMC theater) back when this movie came out and I remember people being just awestruck by it. I love the "your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they never stopped to think if they should" line.
This is my favorite film of all time. It was the first movie that I remember ever seeing in theaters when I was 5 years old. And I usually watch it about 40 or 50 times a year. Jaws is my second favorite just by a little bit because I love that movie as well but this movie is a masterpiece and so is Jaws
Okay I have to add something else after the fact, I will never understand why people who review this movie don't show the reaction to the T-Rex coming out for the first time I mean you guys at least showed a little bit but they always cut out the T-Rex breakout which in my opinion is the best scene of the entire movie. I mean that scene is iconic and still holds up which is absolutely insane for how old is CGI is and people always always downplay it or cut it out like I could watch it now 28 years later or whatever it is, and if I was filming this that would be my number one important part to put in my video because that is the best part of the movie and probably the franchise but otherwise great job
And I really wish that you could see the Jeff goldblum painting in my Jurassic Park room. It's the sexy pose he's doing but he has a rose in his hand and it's a painting not a picture.
@jessaandalexeatch the toliet scene was the best 😂.. I just loved it how he rushes over to the bamboo.. he thought praying while on the toliet was going to save him LoL 😂
After this Timmy dropped his interest in dinosaurs and instead took up bass playing and became John Deacon.
I still remember the lightly shaking water announcing heavy footsteps. It was terrifying in the theatre.
Its nice that Jurassic Park still wows people. It just goes to show how good a film it is.
"item 152 on our glitch list...and we brought our grandchildren...??"--YESS, JESS...!!--ALL THIS...!!
The sound design for this film was amazing. Most of the dinosaur calls were based on birds or birds with other animals (the raptor sounds were combos of goose and dolphins, the T-Rex was an elephant mixed with Rottweiler, the dilophosaurus was trumpeter swan mixed with rattlesnake and an angry hawk). Interesting stuff, they way they mixed those to create very distinctive sounds.
I am 29 years old and the first time I watched this I was 4 years old, it blew my mind and since that moment it became in my favourite film. My parents bought Jurassic Park in VHS and I watched it more than 200 times
I hear the first chord of this movie and it evokes such strong sense memory... I feel the theater air conditioning on a hot summer day and I smell the popcorn and I feel the squeaky hinges on the old theater seat. I saw this when I was 13 and instantly fell in love with film scores and dinosaurs. But keep in mind we grew up on things like Dark Crystal, Neverending Story and Poltergeist. Horror was our bread and butter in the 80s and early 90s.
Now THAT was a completely natural segue into a SkillShare ad!
Imagine seeing this on a 60-foot screen in a dark booming theater. It was astounding.
"This is traumatizing for children." says the ladies who never were dino crazy as a kid. 😁
Love finding a wholesome reaction channel like these.
I was a total dinosaur kid. I was 6 when this movie hit theaters and I distinctly remember my parents taking me to watch it. They said I was 7 when we went, so I looked up its theater run and that movie was in theaters for a year and a half. Anyway, still the best dinosaur movie of all time. If you can ever find a making of for it, I recommend you watch it. It's fascinating. The have actually minimal CGI in it and used a TON of animatronics. Originally all of the CGI dinosaur shots were going to be done with stop motion and they figured out that they could convincingly render a dinosaur in CG part way through the production.
Jeff Goldblum was already famous when this came out. This wasn’t “before his time.”
Saw this in theaters when it first came out as a teen and from the time the T-Rex showed up till credits rolled one of my legs wouldn't stop shaking. Never happened before and never happened again😂
Saw this when I was 10-ish, complete dino nerd, still am 30 years later :v grandpa got me a newspaper cut-out, then warned me it did not seem like a childrens movie, then got me a ticket to go watch
(also, you're so far the only reactors to pick up on the bird-full-circle thing in the end, a scene I really loved every time)
Fun fact: when the Trex broke through the roof window, they didn't tell the kids that was gonna happen to allow them to give real screams in terror thinking it broke down.
Anddd if you happen to watch Jurassic world, the Trex in that movie is the same Trex/character
don't forget the genius of John William's score (Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, etc.)... perfect movie.
I watched this film when I was about 4. The Raptors scared me tremendously. I then watched a documentary called Walking with Dinosaurs by BBC. That documentary showed dinosaurs as animals and not movie monsters. And this film, plus that documentary made me a dino kid.
I saw this when I was 9. Blew my mind. It was my Star Wars.
I guess I know what I'm rewatching tonight...
I was 13 when this came out. Prime age. We had never seen anything like it at the movies. Still love this movie so much
Fun fact: the part where the T-Rex breaks through the glass of the tour car with the kids in it, the glass wasn't supposed to break so that was genuine fear screams not acting.
Completely false. Biggest myth that won’t die
One of the greatest movies ever made for sure. I saw this at the age of 27 and believe me, I may as well have been 10. I just wanted to get up and run out the theater through the whole thing. Fun fact, when this movie was released in the theater it was the first time Dolby Surround Sound was ever utilized for a movie. It had a visceral effect on me. The suspense and sheer horror of the movie combined with the intensity of the sound nearly did me in! 🤯
*Jurassic Park* is my all-time favorite movie. This movie changed my favorite prehistoric animal. Before JP, my favorite prehistoric animal wasn't actually a dinosaur, but a flying reptile called a Pteranodon. But, after JP, my new favorite prehistorical animal became the Velociraptor. Today, I'm literally obsessed with the Raptors and I love them to death (no pun intended). If I had been at Isla Nublar, I would want to get up close and personal with the Raptors and just give them a big hug.
Ariana Richards ("Lex") was also in another Disney sci-fi comedy from 1990 called "Spaced Invaders," about a small group of Martian nitwits who land in a rural american town under the mistaken impression that Mars has declared war against Earth. It's so completely absurd that it becomes funny, especially the Martian whos voice sounds like Jack Nicholson.
That is how a kids movie should be. Never underestimate kids inteligence.
If you stood still in front of a T-Rex, you would be dead. A T-Rex had better sight than a Hawk. Lots of inaccuracies about Dinosaurs in this film, but still a great film too watch
blows my mind how young laura dern is here, Sam Neil and Goldbum..way older, but laura dern plays mature young woman sooo well, same with laura linney, Sam Neil in Dead Calm is a MUST SEE :) the girl on here became a very talented oil painter, no joke
Laura Dern's scream in the jeep is my FAVORITE movie scream ever! She looks absolutely terrified.
Great reaction! I watched it when i was a kid in the 90s. Left the theater terrified and crying but i became a dino loving kid nontheless lol. There are other 4 Jurassic Park/World movies in this saga, watch them if you can :)
Classic! Watched as a child and had nightmares about the velociraptors in the kitchen for weeks. Loved it though so did the typical kid action of watching it on repeat To scare myself!
Also if the raptors learn to use the internet then instead of catfished you get raptor-fished, where you turn up for your hookup and get eaten.
@The Dan Not entirely true.
Almost all hero Dinos in those movies were both animatronic and CGI, depending on the shots. In some shots the Raptors are puppets in others they are CGI.
@@Quotenwagnerianer it’s pretty flawless compositing work. I don’t think you ever really notice the difference between the puppets and the CGI
@@jessaandalexwatch I do. I could point out the individual shots. For example in the kitchen scene, the shots in this reaction even exemplifies this.
The close up of the raptors face: real.
The raptors kicking stuff off the counter with their tails and then jumping onto these counters: CGI.
Yep, i was an infant the first time, still in love with this series
