Keep in mind that at the beginning, as the helicopter is landing and they had to put their seatbelts on, Grant couldn't fasten his because his belt buckle somehow had two female ends. Instead, he tied them together. So, he found a way, alluding to how the female dinosaurs eventually find a way to mate and breed.
no it is referring to Malcom’s chaos theory. the dinosaurs mating wasn’t a result of chaos theory .. it was man engineering them with frog dna.. so it was predictable.
John Williams is simply the greatest film score composer of all times. The man gave us the themes from Harry Potter, Home Alone, Superman, Jaws, E.T., and pretty much the entire Star Wars saga.
Alan silvestri isn't too far behind, with films like Back to the future, predator, romancing the stone, forest gump cast away, the abyss, young guns Stuart little and all avengers films on his CV 🙂
The idea that Tyrannosaurus Rex could only recognize objects that move was fabricated for this movie. The exaggerated size of the raptors became part of a fortuitous coincidence. After the filming, but before its release the fossil of a large raptor was discovered. "Spielberg's raptor" was proposed as its name but "Utah raptor" was adopted.
@@Lemon_ForceIn the film, Doctor Grant referred to the T-rex's vision being based on motion, unlike the raptor's, in the early scene at his archaeological dig. So in this context it can't be explained away by the nutty choice of using DNA of such an evolutionarily distant animal. Thanks for updating me about that aspect of the novel, by the way. I don't think I've read it since it was pretty new, before they made the movie. I mainly recalled that they changed the sick dino from a stegosaurus to a triceratops.
I'll never forget seeing this in the theater. The shocked gasps at the first dinosaur apperance. The chills the first T-Rex roar sent down my spine, what an unforgettable experience. I was 28.
I wish I could have seen it in theaters, I was only six years old at the time and a very easily over-stimulated kid. I desperately wanted to go, but my parents decided to see it themselves first before deciding if I could or not. They ended up saying no, that it would be too much for me (and they were 100% right, lol). So I had to wait for VHS. Still blew me away, of course. I was a dino-crazy kid (had to close my eyes for the 'gruesome' scenes though) and that movie was a dream come true. But the theater experience would have traumatized me for sure, lol. Even little-me knew it. When my parents said it would be too much for me I 100% accepted it because I was at least smart enough to know they knew me well enough to make that call.
Yeah I’m so jealous, if time machines are ever invented they should be strictly used for people to go undercover back in time and watch classic movies in theatre
I was working in a video rental store when this movie came out for sale/rent. It was the biggest event I'd ever seen and have ever seen since for ONE movie. We sold (not rented, SOLD) THOUSANDS of VHS cassettes in mere months (each 9.99 $ at the time). We had that film playing on the store TVs and speakers for weeks on end. We had giant dinosaur statues brought in from who knows where for display throughout the store. So big in fact, we had a window company remove the store front windows in order to get those statues inside. It was quite a circus.
I watched our VHS into the _ground_ -- I even destroyed the box by cutting out the logo, so I could put it on the shirt of my fourth grade Halloween costume (a maimed JP employee).
If I remember right, I think it took forever to go from being out-of-theaters to being available on vhs/for rental, so the hype was high. I vaguely recall it being like 3 years or something, but I was very small.
I was in highschool when this came out and it blew my mind. I was one of those little kids who loved dinosaurs and this helped kind of rekindle that at the time. I went and saw this 6 times in the theater.
One of the details that most people miss is when we first see the T. rex the girl shines the flashlight into the eye of the T. rex the pupil constricts in response. It may not seem like much but for me it adds a little realism to the situation. Just further proof that Mr. Spielberg is a master at making movies.
It was not until a test screening of the animatronic triceratops that the makers of the movie knew that they were successful in making the dinosaurs look real. Up until the the audience reaction, everyone was just hoping they did a good job.
That's interesting. IMO there's far less to worry about when it's a creature no one's ever seen vs something like Jaws/shark that people have seen. The VAST difference in quality between dinosaurs in films prior to JP and JP is otherworldly. That pupil dilation of the Rex when she hits it with the flash light or the Raptor breath hitting the window or the birds flying around the Brachiosaurus in the distant shot are such nice additional touches that really help sell the realism, and for this type of film to really not even age is just phenomenal. One thing that drives me crazy though is the lack of triceratops in these 6 films..it just doesn't make sense. The Rex and Trikes (and the Alamosaurus vs T-Rex) had probably the greatest battles ever in real life yet we never get to see that in these films..I mean they should have at least had the two team up to defeat one of the the Indoraptor or Indominous Rex. Would have loved to seen a sauropod fight as well.
This movie has one of the few music scores that actually affects me emotionally. This, Gladiator, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy are next level soundtracks.
10 year old me seeing that first Brachiosaurus back in '93 was just mind blowing, dare I say almost life changing with how obsessed with dinosaurs I was from that point on. Even now, with the music it makes me a bit misty eyed. The special effects for this movie are still considered pretty good now, but back then? They were the cutting edge of cutting edge. It was essentially 'real' footage. I think I went and saw it 5 or 6 times.
Seeing this in the theaters as a kid was scary and awesome at the same time xD A lot of us as kids had that "Dinosaur" phase and this was just a must see, not knowing it's a scary movie especially for a kid :P
Definitely hit my dinosaur phase in grade 2 when we learned about them at school. Previously I had been a godzilla/giant monster fan since I was 4, only to find out they used to be real?!? I knew all the names I could learn, at least half of which have changed since :)
My stepdad took my mom, brother and I to see this movie in the theater and I was 7 years old I was terrified but I loved it at the same time. My brother and I became obsessed with dinosaurs after this movie.
I still find it interesting that Dennis knew that the raptors were too dangerous to be set loose, so that even when he shut the power off, he made sure to keep the raptor paddock's power on
Frankly I think he left it on accidentally, or at least didn't go out of his way to tamper with it. I mean, it's not like he needed to escape through the raptor pen. He had nothing to gain from going out of his way to shut down its power too, so he probably just left it alone. And since it ran independently from the rest of the park, it's not like he had to worry about shutting it down by accident.
@@saintcynicism2654 It's stated that Dennis turned off all the power to all the attractions BUT the raptor pen, plus Dennis had full access to the park's systems because he alone was the one tasked to handle almost all of it, hence why Arnold said that he needed him in order to turn the power back on. Plus later into the movie after the raptors got out, Muldoon even says that Dennis knew how dangerous the raptors were
@@Pridam The "everything but the raptor pens" statement can mean both things though. Either that he specifically spared it or that he didn't go out of his way to bother with it because it wasn't necessary. Though I don't think there's any reason to believe Dennis actually paid any level of attention to the dinosaurs, the line "even Nedry knew not to mess with the raptor fences" doesn't work unless Dennis Nedry is known to be completely clueless about the dinosaurs and what they were capable of. His knowledge of the raptors probably woudln't extend much beyond them constantly causing problems and costing Hammond money.
you are giving too much credit. the only reason he didn't shut them down is because they weren't in his path to the dock, that's the reason he shut down the main park. since jurassic park was poorly designed the main supply dock was INSIDE the park which makes it a real bitch to get to. had it been outside of the tour he'd not have shut it down.
@@saintcynicism2654 it's the latter thing in your first paragraph. the raptor pen wasn't shut down because it had 0 to do with his plan. the phones, cameras, door locks and main park did so he shut them down.
I do believe Ian Malcom’s character was designed as the realistic mindset that we all have in reality and the knowledge we have from real excavations of dinosaurs and that we could have never really evolved alongside them
Yet, our scientists are tinkering with wanting to resurrect a mammoth/mastodon & what would come after that? Dinosaurs brought back & humanity causes its own extinction. Either by resurrecting long-dead species capable of overpowering & outmaneuvering humans (dinosaurs eat mankind) or machines that become sentient enough to view humans as a detriment & begin a robot takeover of the world (Skynet manufacturing the Terminators).
The most overlooked line in this movie is when the lawyer says "Are these characters auto...erotica?" To which Hammond quickly says they're not animatronic lol. Definitely an adult joke I missed as a kid.
In the sequel, "The Lost World" we learn where the dinosaurs are before they reach the main park, and Hammond has a few lines speaking exactly on this topic. I don't want to give away anything though, so I'll look forward to you reacting to the sequel in the near future 😊
I show this movie in science class with a quiz. Bonus question is: What is the last dinosaur you see in the movie? Kids get so mad the answer is Pelican.
I must have heard the JP theme a thousand times...yet every single time I see that first dinosaur showing and 'welcome, to Jurassic Park', I still always get a massive grin on my face.
I was around 7 when this came out and my whole family went to see it. Sitting next to me was some stranger teenage girl. At the end of the big T-Rex escape scene, that girl was curled into a ball, and I heard her say, "That's so intense!" As we walked out of the theater, the first thing I said to my parents was, "What does 'intense' mean?" Jurassic Park introduced me to the word "intense."
One of my favorite pieces of cinematic foreshadowing is during the initial approach to the island. Alan only had two female buckles, which obviously don’t work together, but he “found a way.”
One of the factors that helped make the CG look so good was the fact that they had replicas of the dinosaurs for use on set. They would take the huge T-Rex animatronic out so they could see exactly how the lighting would affect it, so that when they did the CG they had an actual visual reference when making the lighting. In today's CGI they rarely do that, and the animators just have to guess how they lighting would look for the models they add. It's why it so often stands out in a weird way even if it looks really nice on a technical level. Over the years I've come to appreciate just how dang important lighting is for making a CG model look convincing.
I was 11 when this came out, saw it opening weekend. Was a Star Wars moment for me. The CGI in this movie is in line with 1991's Terminator 2, where they only used it when something was impossible to make with practical effects. I remember that weekend clearly though. The lobby of the cinema, the smell of the popcorn... the JP music on repeat and the trailers on the screens on repeat as well. My cinema has 20 screens, and every screen that weekend was showing only Jurassic Park in a staggered schedule, and the place was packed from wall to wall. It was me (11), my sister (16), my best friend (11), and my sister's best friend (16) (who were also brother and sister). My dad gave us £20 (around £50 in today's money) and we had the best weekend ever. No idea how my dad got 4 tickets, but, well, he did somehow. No movie has ever matched Jurassic Park since. Along with RoboCop, it's my interchangeable #1 ~ #2 movie of all time.
What I love about this movie is the impending storm that starts to change the atmosphere when they run into the triceratops. The storm foreshadows what is to come but it kind of envelops the viewer in a way I can't really describe most movies do.
Fun fact about Jurassic Park: The book it was based on, written by Michael Crichton, was originally supposed to be from the perspective of a child. He wanted to do a story focusing on the awe a child would feel in a park like Jurassic Park. But his publisher thought no one would read it, so he rewrote it as one of the greatest sci-fi horror stories ever.
the original treatment for the story was a student creating a pteranodon as a science experiment, it didn't do well in his test audience so he rewrote to the park idea with a kid as the main and then rewrote again to adults as the primary characters.
I was 13 in 1993 and saw this opening week in an IMAX theater. State-of-the-art surround sound system in the venue. It was so incredibly loud when the T-Rex roared, it shook the room!!! Watching it on a screen that's nearly 8 times the size of an average theater screen (and with incredible definition) was mind-blowing at the time.
Loved your reaction to the movie! This franchise has always had a dear place in my heart from childhood and I love that you enjoyed the characters so much! I hope you watch the rest of the movies! They really hold up to time.
The movie that made me love movies. It's a rewatchable classic but seeing it in theaters as a youngin is peek entertainment. I was mortified, curious, laughing, and crying all at the same time. As always I absolutely adore your reactions. Jah bless ☺️ Have a great week.
Awesome reaction! This movie is up there with"Jaws", "E. T.", and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as one of the quintessential Spielberg popcorn flicks. It also defined CGI. The CGI and special effects in this movie still holdup today and are even better than most movies today tbh. It's an essential movie, one that all movie fans ought to watch at some point.
@@kaylyptic Hi I just seen this 💯 Amazing love your reaction!!! And especially the famous restroom scene where the really mean old lawyer guy selfishly abandoned the poor kids. He's just desperately Scrambling trying to save himself. But Rexy She found him anyway 🤭😂 when everything falls down around him exposing him your like HA HA yeah Eat the lawyer and Rexy bites him up shaking him around like a fun doggy chew toy like playing with Her food before eating him it was actually kinda funny looking and he kinda Deserve it would you agree with me?
@@kaylyptic I'm glad you like JP :) It's my favorite movie! If you haven't already watched it, I recommend JW's Camp Cretaceous series (which, despite being more for kids, feels much more like a proper continuation of JP than the JW movies). Also, if you wanna get back into real dinos, I highly recommend Darren Naish's "Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved" (the best adult intro to the whole story of dinos) & "Dinopedia: A Brief Compendium of Dinosaur Lore" (the best adult guide to dinos & their cultural impact since the 1970s).
Funny story: I was in college when this came out. My girlfriend at the time, she and I took her little brother (10-ish years old) to go see this movie. During the T-rex scene where it was going after the kids in the vehicle, she and I looked at each other and said "are you scared...? You want to leave...?" I looked at her little brother and asked him, "Are you OK? You want to leave?" He was like "No this is great!" LOL Little kid loved it and we adults were terrified. But maybe in my defense, growing up I had recurring nightmares where a T-rex was coming after me. This was long before Jurassic Park and this movie introduced the term "T-rex". Before this they were just called Tyranosaurs. It was just a strange nightmare I would often have. So for me this was literally a nightmare come to life. Also, Ian Malcolm wasn't a dick, he was just confident and sometimes obnoxious about it. Dennis (aka Newman) was a dick.
Haha! thanks so much for sharing that story. I found the T-rex absolutely terrifying and I know it must have been even MORE terrifying to film. Also, I guess I called Malcolm a dick because he really was overly confident (very intelligent though), but would also talk about marrying different women, trying to find the next “Mrs. Malcom” just to be on a lookout for another again anyway. I know he was saying it jokingly so it doesn’t matter, but it seems ridiculous to me. I appreciate him helping save those kids though, and being a huge help to Sattler when she was in the shed. He knew what was up and and made sure to do what was needed! Dennis on the other hand definitelyyy is a dick. 100%, I agree with you.
"Before this they were just called Tyranosaurs" I don't mean to be "that guy," but allow me to introduce you to the band "T-Rex," named after the Tyranosaurus, who started in 1967: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._Rex_(band)
the scene when they first see the long neck dino, still to this day gets me teary eyed. It is such a nostalgic scene for me, remembering as a kid seeing this film and believing that dinosaurs had actually been alive in our world. Such a wonderful scene. Will always have a place in my heart and memories.
Its amazing so beautifully done during the t rex break out that youre so engaged in whats happening that no one ever questions where the huge cliff came from when uou basically watched the t rex step out. 😂
Wonderful reaction. The suspense sequences, the acting (especially by the child actors), the dialogue, the animatronics and the score by the legendary John Williams is like an icing on a phenomenal coconut sugar cake. This film/blockbuster was ahead of it's time and the scene where the Brachiosaurus is revealed is one of the greatest cinematic experiences of all time. The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a fairly worthy sequel but everything else beyond that is completely up to the eye of the beholder. Love your tattoos too. The traditional skull with the sunflowers.
They weren't entirely depending upon Nedry to operate the park just most of the staff left because of the storm. He just thought himself most important and deserving of more money hence why he was selling the embryo's to a competing research company. In that moment because of his meddling with the systems he would have been the only one to correct it ... I think anyway lol
I think the whole point is that Nedry WAS one of the only people who can do his job, at least for how much he was getting paid, and therefore asked for more money, which Hammond refused. That’s why he sold him out to steal the embryos. Hammond’s whole deal is that he cut corners and money everywhere and it led to everyone’s downfall. Movie Hammond is a cutie while book Hammond is a straight up villain 😂
@@IFMIStupidFox nedry was the only one capable because he designed it that way. that's the whole "white rabbit. obj" subplot in the novel and film. he made himself indispensable. his plan was to deliver the embryos and come back to save the day by restoring everything. if he didn't do that arnold had the capacity to fix it all as the lead engineer. so crystal is right. but you are right in that hammond's schtick is to cut corners.
@@IFMIStupidFoxYet a 13 year old(I think) girl was able to restore the system just by having some computer knowledge. So clearly, Nedry's job wasn't that difficult.
I can totally understand their excitement for the T Rex at the beginning, because for paleontologists it would be like a dream come true to be able to study a living Tyrannosaurus since we still know very little about it. Sure, it is unfit as a tourist attraction but for the science it would be so amazing to have a living Rex around as long as it is properly contained.
Amazing reaction Kaylyptic this is one of my favorite Spielberg movies I remember that Jurassic Park ride too when I was kid and had lots of fun going on it as well I have Jurassic Park the game for Xbox 360 from Tell Tale also when you saw the kitchen scene did you see a hand on the Velociraptor it was a gag reel I thought it was cool they kept it in I hope you enjoy watching and reacting to the other Jurassic Park movies👍
I love this movie. It is very well made on every level. The acting, script, visual effects, direction, it all comes together quite perfectly. I can't say the same thing for any of the sequels. The second is more horror, but utterly predictable. The third is a little more adventure, but the script and direction aren't there. The World movies don't interest me and I haven't seen any of them from beginning to end.
That was a fun reaction! Another "monster" flick I'd like to suggest is "TREMORS", it'll be fun to watch your reaction to another great movie also! Thanks, and I'll looking forward to more of your reactions! 🎥🍿
21:55 hell yeah!! Most people just go "no you idiot it was already distracted!" when Malcolm comes out, but like hell a single thrown flare distracts rexy far enough. Man was straight up ready to die for two kids he'd never even spoken to. The naturalistic performances and characters really make their heroism all the more touching bc they feel so real.
Feeling the T-Rex's footsteps beneath your seat while seeing the water was one of the most intense cinematic experiences ever. Funny, they just used a guitar string underneath the dashboard...Clever girl
The movie that Spielberg did it again, created a masterpiece in every single way possible that for people is 1 of their precious cinema memories for all time and would always cherish watching this for all the emotions it still brings.
LMAO that ride at universal TRAUMATISED me when i went on holiday to orlando when i was like 7 or 8. the jaws and earthquake one were also up there as max level character building exercises 🤣
This is such a good movie. I am so glad to see you react to this movie. And I really enjoy your reaction to this movie. When I watch this movie with you. It is like I am watching Jurassic Park together. And the very first time that I saw this movie was when it came into theaters back in June 20, 1993. And I was only 16 years old at the time that I saw this movie Jurassic Park at the movie.
Still one of the greatest openings to any film ever Also i am in awe of the lines "MR hammond after careful consideration, I've decided not to endorse your park." "...So have I"
Fun fact about Tyrannosaurus Rex: while in the book and the movies it has movement-based vision, in real life it had vision as sharp as an eagle, along with its powerful sense of smell and hearing.
Part of the reason the film is so smart, especially at the beginning, is that it's based on a book by Michael Crichton. Crichton got his MD from Harvard in 1969, but decided to become a full-time author instead of practicing medicine. He was very good at doing scientific research and weaving cutting-edge science into novels. He also wrote and directed several films and created the long-running medical drama ER (1994-2009). Love your commentary! Anyone can react, but a smart reactor with things to say is more interesting.
He also helped write the script for this movie too. Speaking of this and ER, he was the first person in history to have the #1 rated show, movie AND Book (disclosure) at the same time....a feat I believe he duplicated a 2nd time.
6:52 Grant can’t buckle his seatbelt because he has two “female” halves of the seatbelt. Which foreshadows life finding a way because he makes things work by tying them together
I remember at the time some people were really scared that dinosaurs really existed. Simply because there have never been such realistic effects before 😉 Chapeau, Spielberg!
Great first time reaction! I enjoy how much you appreciate a solid script, especially one that answers the viewers questions when they think to ask them. 'Back to the Future' is a movie I recommend for exactly this reason, the script is just chef's kiss!
Started watching/following your MCU journey and then saw this movie pop up and had to take a detour. But I noticed Dr. Pepper making guest appearances on more than one occasion. A BIG 👍 to the best doctor out there😊. Your reactions are amazing and insightful. Thanks for sharing! --A happy newish follower🎉
Thank you for this!! It means a lot and I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the channel so far. I hope to see you around over at another reaction real soon :)
Great reaction! 😊 "Welcome to Jurassic Park" Was looking forward to the start of your "Star Wars" reactions, but instead I get surprised with another one of my top 3 favorite movie franchises. LOVE IT!!! This first movie is my absolute favorite in the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World series. A great cast with Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. The great use of CGI effects and real animatronics. And of course, the fantastic musical score by John Williams. Fun Facts: Jeff Goldblum's character Ian Malcolm was very close to dying from his injuries in the book that this movie was based on. Also, Dennis' death in the book was more violent. 37:46 I agree! The shot with the banner coming down as the T-Rex roars is one of my favorite shots of the movie. I hope that you continue on with the remaining Jurassic Park/Jurassic World series. Two more movies remaining in the "Jurassic Park" half and 3 movies in the "Jurassic World" half. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
@@kaylyptic In the book the guy is a biggest douche on the planet. Says f*ck every other sentence, usually at his own people, is not above murdering people to get his way. He's a delight.
“Do they keep the dinosaurs somewhere else before putting them in cages?” Congratulations, you predicted the plot thread leading to the sequel… The Lost World.
Real raptors were the size of turkeys and had feathers but they based of a different dinosaur that is not named very easy for crowds to remember. There were ostrich and larger dinosaurs like deinonychus that use to be around but the Jurassic period is much different that what is popularly know. Its sort of a catch word for everything people understand as creatures of the old worlds. The reason I think this first movie is so good is that the author of the book is involved and Spielberg made this a PG horror roller-coaster ride compared to the rated R horror flick that James Cameron was going to pitch to Michael Crichton. He gave up the pitch because he was busy and heard Spielberg was involved. Cameron admits now that his version probably would not be as popular because Spielberg reaches more age ranges.
I love your point in your outro about how you love movies where everybody is using their brain. Me too. Any 12-year-old can write a story where a bumbling hero beats even more bumbling villains. But it takes some skill to write a movie where competent heroes beat competent villains. And it takes masterful skill to write a movie where amazing heroes defeat brilliant villains. There weren't really any villains to defeat here, which is also very well done. It's one of the best thing about Jurassic Park: it lets the dinosaurs be the danger rather than manufacturing a villain we don't need. Yeah, sure, Dennis Nedry got greedy and caused nearly all of the problems. But nobody had to defeat him; he defeated himself. So while he's awful, he was never a villain the heroes had to defeat. The dinosaurs spoke for themselves. And the writers let them. And the brilliant protagonists found a way to survive, with a little help at the end from a surprisingly stealthy T-Rex.
27:00 when you say the Rex is going to hunt them...that's exactly what it does in the book. The Rex stalks and hunts Grant, Lex & Tim. The Rex follows them in a raft down the river and is actually waiting for them at the bottom of a waterfall. Great book snd suspenseful scene!
I saw this movie when it first released in theatres and that opening scene had nothing for my dad to have to cover my eyes over and yet it was horrifying. Even so, I loved the movie, was so into dinosaurs at the time, so the film came out at the perfect time for me. The practical effects mixed with CGI was perfect. Also, to answer your question, insects were generally much larger back in the dinosaur era, because there was a higher oxygen content in the air.
Jurassic Park is my absolute favorite of the entire saga! I still have memories when I went a local movie theater, and it had famous scenes from movies framed on the wall. They had a framed shot of the scene of the T-Rex roaring as the Jurassic Park banner falls. 🦕🦖🖤💛❤️
Fun story, when I was little I loved Dinosaurs and my mom recorded this for me off the TV but stopped the film at all the parts where someone dies, It wasn't years later till I rewatched the tape and realized it made no sense and jumped around a lot, and characters just stopped showing up in the film for some reason.
I was working at Deep Pan Pizza in the UK one Saturday evening, the trailer came on the TV's as I was serving someone, I was so enthralled by it that I spilt Pepsi all over the customer. I was sacked the next day but didn't care. I went to see the film at a local UCI cinema the next weekend with family and friends. We were absolutely enthralled and astounded, kids were running out of the cinema at the T-Rex escape scene closely followed by their parents. No one could believe or comprehend how on earth they had created dinosaurs on film that looked so realistic. It was THE best cinema experience I have ever had to this very day. I was 20 at the time and I'm 52 now. No film at the cinema will EVER beat that experience! 🙂👍🏆
The scene where Grant can’t get his seatbelt fastened is actually subtle foreshadowing for the dinosaurs laying eggs despite being all female. The two ends of the seatbelt Grant has are the same but he manages to, _uh, find a way._
Fun fact, the helicopter scene where Grant can't buckle his seatbelt because he has two female ends and "finds a way" to make them work by tying them was clever foreshadowing about the female dinosaurs being able to procreate, LIFE FINDS A WAY. Another fun fact is that John Hammond is played by Richard Attenborough, he was an amazing actor and brother to David Attenborough, The the narrator voice you hear on all the nature documentaries. If I recall correctly he's also the voice of dinosaur documentary "Prehistoric Planet"
22:45 "I'm surprised they have no staff going out there to make sure that everyone outside is OK." Everybody got on the boat. There's a tropical storm so the island was mostly evacuated. Right now the only people not leaving the island are Hammond, Ray, Dennis, Alan, Ellie, Ian, Tim, Lex, Muldoon, and Donald the lawyer. And maybe that doctor working on the sick triceratops. There's nobody else.

i saw someone else comment this as well and it made me smile because i didn’t think about it this way! i totally missed it
no it is referring to Malcom’s chaos theory. the dinosaurs mating wasn’t a result of chaos theory .. it was man engineering them with frog dna.. so it was predictable.
@@kaylyptic does watching these Jurassic Park movies in a way make ya want 2 play Yu-Gi-Oh! using a Dinosaur Archetype/Theme Deck?
Hello Kaylyptic friend i like watching Your Videos 👍❤️🙂
Hi Kaylyptic Friend My Favorite Dinosaurs In jurassic park is The T-rex,Gallimimus,Raptors.🦖🦖🔥👍⭐️
John Williams is simply the greatest film score composer of all times. The man gave us the themes from Harry Potter, Home Alone, Superman, Jaws, E.T., and pretty much the entire Star Wars saga.
The Jurassic Park theme is truly majestic. And yeah, John Williams, now and forever.
and Indiana Jones
John Williams is the man.
Saving private Ryan and I’m pretty sure he did the theme for the Olympics
Alan silvestri isn't too far behind, with films like Back to the future, predator, romancing the stone, forest gump cast away, the abyss, young guns Stuart little and all avengers films on his CV 🙂
It will never cease to amaze me that Spielberg made this movie and Schindler's List on the same year.
It's even more surprising he made those movies back to back and still in over 30 years no sequel, no one has been able to top this first movie
@@officialflikz Well, I respectfully disagree with that statement. I happen to enjoy all Jurassic movies equally.
@@andre1999o I love the sequels (I didn't like the last one but heh), but what I mean is, none of them actually surpassed this one

1993 was a banner year for great movies.

So in this context it can't be explained away by the nutty choice of using DNA of such an evolutionarily distant animal. Thanks for updating me about that aspect of the novel, by the way. I don't think I've read it since it was pretty new, before they made the movie. I mainly recalled that they changed the sick dino from a stegosaurus to a triceratops.
In the book doctor Grant figures out the TRex vision is based on movement in the park when the S hits the fan.
@@MrTbk1701 And in a real twist of irony, there is now evidence that T-Rex might have close to the best vision of any animal ever to live.
@@colinfun that is awesome to know.
I'll never forget seeing this in the theater. The shocked gasps at the first dinosaur apperance. The chills the first T-Rex roar sent down my spine, what an unforgettable experience. I was 28.
I wish I could have seen it in theaters, I was only six years old at the time and a very easily over-stimulated kid. I desperately wanted to go, but my parents decided to see it themselves first before deciding if I could or not. They ended up saying no, that it would be too much for me (and they were 100% right, lol). So I had to wait for VHS. Still blew me away, of course. I was a dino-crazy kid (had to close my eyes for the 'gruesome' scenes though) and that movie was a dream come true. But the theater experience would have traumatized me for sure, lol. Even little-me knew it. When my parents said it would be too much for me I 100% accepted it because I was at least smart enough to know they knew me well enough to make that call.
Yeah I’m so jealous, if time machines are ever invented they should be strictly used for people to go undercover back in time and watch classic movies in theatre
I was working in a video rental store when this movie came out for sale/rent. It was the biggest event I'd ever seen and have ever seen since for ONE movie. We sold (not rented, SOLD) THOUSANDS of VHS cassettes in mere months (each 9.99 $ at the time). We had that film playing on the store TVs and speakers for weeks on end. We had giant dinosaur statues brought in from who knows where for display throughout the store. So big in fact, we had a window company remove the store front windows in order to get those statues inside. It was quite a circus.
a Jurassic Circus?
I watched our VHS into the _ground_ -- I even destroyed the box by cutting out the logo, so I could put it on the shirt of my fourth grade Halloween costume (a maimed JP employee).
If I remember right, I think it took forever to go from being out-of-theaters to being available on vhs/for rental, so the hype was high. I vaguely recall it being like 3 years or something, but I was very small.
@@BH-wh2vo A year and a half actually... In theatres on June 9 1993 and out on video on October 4th... :)
@@danielmorency2242my man!
I was in highschool when this came out and it blew my mind. I was one of those little kids who loved dinosaurs and this helped kind of rekindle that at the time. I went and saw this 6 times in the theater.
One of the details that most people miss is when we first see the T. rex the girl shines the flashlight into the eye of the T. rex the pupil constricts in response.
It may not seem like much but for me it adds a little realism to the situation.
Just further proof that Mr. Spielberg is a master at making movies.
I don't think people miss it so much as they don't appreciate the effort.
@@Bluesit32 Fair point.
It was not until a test screening of the animatronic triceratops that the makers of the movie knew that they were successful in making the dinosaurs look real. Up until the the audience reaction, everyone was just hoping they did a good job.
That's interesting. IMO there's far less to worry about when it's a creature no one's ever seen vs something like Jaws/shark that people have seen. The VAST difference in quality between dinosaurs in films prior to JP and JP is otherworldly. That pupil dilation of the Rex when she hits it with the flash light or the Raptor breath hitting the window or the birds flying around the Brachiosaurus in the distant shot are such nice additional touches that really help sell the realism, and for this type of film to really not even age is just phenomenal.
One thing that drives me crazy though is the lack of triceratops in these 6 films..it just doesn't make sense. The Rex and Trikes (and the Alamosaurus vs T-Rex) had probably the greatest battles ever in real life yet we never get to see that in these films..I mean they should have at least had the two team up to defeat one of the the Indoraptor or Indominous Rex. Would have loved to seen a sauropod fight as well.
This film is pure genius. Often imitated, never matched.
This movie has one of the few music scores that actually affects me emotionally. This, Gladiator, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy are next level soundtracks.
Yeah, the sound track for this makes me misty eyed at certain parts and LOTR still gets me to tear up too.
10 year old me seeing that first Brachiosaurus back in '93 was just mind blowing, dare I say almost life changing with how obsessed with dinosaurs I was from that point on. Even now, with the music it makes me a bit misty eyed. The special effects for this movie are still considered pretty good now, but back then? They were the cutting edge of cutting edge. It was essentially 'real' footage. I think I went and saw it 5 or 6 times.
Seeing this in the theaters as a kid was scary and awesome at the same time xD A lot of us as kids had that "Dinosaur" phase and this was just a must see, not knowing it's a scary movie especially for a kid :P
Especially when the lawyer gets eaten. I was like 😲
Definitely hit my dinosaur phase in grade 2 when we learned about them at school. Previously I had been a godzilla/giant monster fan since I was 4, only to find out they used to be real?!? I knew all the names I could learn, at least half of which have changed since :)
My stepdad took my mom, brother and I to see this movie in the theater and I was 7 years old I was terrified but I loved it at the same time. My brother and I became obsessed with dinosaurs after this movie.
Some of us didnt grow out of swid phase ;)
I still find it interesting that Dennis knew that the raptors were too dangerous to be set loose, so that even when he shut the power off, he made sure to keep the raptor paddock's power on
Frankly I think he left it on accidentally, or at least didn't go out of his way to tamper with it. I mean, it's not like he needed to escape through the raptor pen. He had nothing to gain from going out of his way to shut down its power too, so he probably just left it alone. And since it ran independently from the rest of the park, it's not like he had to worry about shutting it down by accident.
@@saintcynicism2654 It's stated that Dennis turned off all the power to all the attractions BUT the raptor pen, plus Dennis had full access to the park's systems because he alone was the one tasked to handle almost all of it, hence why Arnold said that he needed him in order to turn the power back on. Plus later into the movie after the raptors got out, Muldoon even says that Dennis knew how dangerous the raptors were
@@Pridam The "everything but the raptor pens" statement can mean both things though. Either that he specifically spared it or that he didn't go out of his way to bother with it because it wasn't necessary.
Though I don't think there's any reason to believe Dennis actually paid any level of attention to the dinosaurs, the line "even Nedry knew not to mess with the raptor fences" doesn't work unless Dennis Nedry is known to be completely clueless about the dinosaurs and what they were capable of. His knowledge of the raptors probably woudln't extend much beyond them constantly causing problems and costing Hammond money.
you are giving too much credit. the only reason he didn't shut them down is because they weren't in his path to the dock, that's the reason he shut down the main park. since jurassic park was poorly designed the main supply dock was INSIDE the park which makes it a real bitch to get to.
had it been outside of the tour he'd not have shut it down.
@@saintcynicism2654 it's the latter thing in your first paragraph. the raptor pen wasn't shut down because it had 0 to do with his plan. the phones, cameras, door locks and main park did so he shut them down.
I do believe Ian Malcom’s character was designed as the realistic mindset that we all have in reality and the knowledge we have from real excavations of dinosaurs and that we could have never really evolved alongside them
Yet, our scientists are tinkering with wanting to resurrect a mammoth/mastodon & what would come after that? Dinosaurs brought back & humanity causes its own extinction. Either by resurrecting long-dead species capable of overpowering & outmaneuvering humans (dinosaurs eat mankind) or machines that become sentient enough to view humans as a detriment & begin a robot takeover of the world (Skynet manufacturing the Terminators).
The most overlooked line in this movie is when the lawyer says "Are these characters auto...erotica?" To which Hammond quickly says they're not animatronic lol. Definitely an adult joke I missed as a kid.
In the sequel, "The Lost World" we learn where the dinosaurs are before they reach the main park, and Hammond has a few lines speaking exactly on this topic. I don't want to give away anything though, so I'll look forward to you reacting to the sequel in the near future 😊
I show this movie in science class with a quiz. Bonus question is: What is the last dinosaur you see in the movie? Kids get so mad the answer is Pelican.
Amazing Reaction! Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies of all time, and its great to see that the VFX still hold up to this day!
I must have heard the JP theme a thousand times...yet every single time I see that first dinosaur showing and 'welcome, to Jurassic Park', I still always get a massive grin on my face.
I was around 7 when this came out and my whole family went to see it. Sitting next to me was some stranger teenage girl. At the end of the big T-Rex escape scene, that girl was curled into a ball, and I heard her say, "That's so intense!"
As we walked out of the theater, the first thing I said to my parents was, "What does 'intense' mean?"
Jurassic Park introduced me to the word "intense."
One of my favorite pieces of cinematic foreshadowing is during the initial approach to the island. Alan only had two female buckles, which obviously don’t work together, but he “found a way.”
that movie came out 30 years ago, and it still looks better than almost everything that has come out in the past 20 years
One of the factors that helped make the CG look so good was the fact that they had replicas of the dinosaurs for use on set. They would take the huge T-Rex animatronic out so they could see exactly how the lighting would affect it, so that when they did the CG they had an actual visual reference when making the lighting. In today's CGI they rarely do that, and the animators just have to guess how they lighting would look for the models they add. It's why it so often stands out in a weird way even if it looks really nice on a technical level. Over the years I've come to appreciate just how dang important lighting is for making a CG model look convincing.
that movie is a roller coaster for stress levels 😅
I was 11 when this came out, saw it opening weekend.
Was a Star Wars moment for me.
The CGI in this movie is in line with 1991's Terminator 2, where they only used it when something was impossible to make with practical effects.
I remember that weekend clearly though. The lobby of the cinema, the smell of the popcorn... the JP music on repeat and the trailers on the screens on repeat as well.
My cinema has 20 screens, and every screen that weekend was showing only Jurassic Park in a staggered schedule, and the place was packed from wall to wall.
It was me (11), my sister (16), my best friend (11), and my sister's best friend (16) (who were also brother and sister). My dad gave us £20 (around £50 in today's money) and we had the best weekend ever.
No idea how my dad got 4 tickets, but, well, he did somehow.
No movie has ever matched Jurassic Park since.
Along with RoboCop, it's my interchangeable #1 ~ #2 movie of all time.
What I love about this movie is the impending storm that starts to change the atmosphere when they run into the triceratops. The storm foreshadows what is to come but it kind of envelops the viewer in a way I can't really describe most movies do.
The is one of my top 3 movies of all time! Such an amazing watch and the Vfx hold up so good!
i agree!! i really enjoyed this one :)
Fun fact about Jurassic Park: The book it was based on, written by Michael Crichton, was originally supposed to be from the perspective of a child. He wanted to do a story focusing on the awe a child would feel in a park like Jurassic Park. But his publisher thought no one would read it, so he rewrote it as one of the greatest sci-fi horror stories ever.
the original treatment for the story was a student creating a pteranodon as a science experiment, it didn't do well in his test audience so he rewrote to the park idea with a kid as the main and then rewrote again to adults as the primary characters.
I was 13 in 1993 and saw this opening week in an IMAX theater. State-of-the-art surround sound system in the venue. It was so incredibly loud when the T-Rex roared, it shook the room!!! Watching it on a screen that's nearly 8 times the size of an average theater screen (and with incredible definition) was mind-blowing at the time.
I watched this film in the Albert Hall with the Prague national Orchestra playing the music alongside the film, it was AWESOME.
“Life, uhh..finds a way.” - Dr. Ian Malcolm
Loved your reaction to the movie! This franchise has always had a dear place in my heart from childhood and I love that you enjoyed the characters so much! I hope you watch the rest of the movies! They really hold up to time.
The movie that made me love movies. It's a rewatchable classic but seeing it in theaters as a youngin is peek entertainment. I was mortified, curious, laughing, and crying all at the same time. As always I absolutely adore your reactions. Jah bless ☺️ Have a great week.
Thank you so much for watching!! 😁 I can’t even imagine the rush of different emotions seeing this in theaters as a kid haha!
Awesome reaction! This movie is up there with"Jaws", "E. T.", and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as one of the quintessential Spielberg popcorn flicks. It also defined CGI. The CGI and special effects in this movie still holdup today and are even better than most movies today tbh. It's an essential movie, one that all movie fans ought to watch at some point.
Thank you so much! I really want to watch Jaws soon
@kaylyptic it's definitely worth checking out😊
@@kaylyptic Hi I just seen this 💯 Amazing love your reaction!!! And especially the famous restroom scene where the really mean old lawyer guy selfishly abandoned the poor kids. He's just desperately Scrambling trying to save himself. But Rexy She found him anyway 🤭😂 when everything falls down around him exposing him your like HA HA yeah Eat the lawyer and Rexy bites him up shaking him around like a fun doggy chew toy like playing with Her food before eating him it was actually kinda funny looking and he kinda Deserve it would you agree with me?
@@kaylyptic I'm glad you like JP :) It's my favorite movie! If you haven't already watched it, I recommend JW's Camp Cretaceous series (which, despite being more for kids, feels much more like a proper continuation of JP than the JW movies). Also, if you wanna get back into real dinos, I highly recommend Darren Naish's "Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved" (the best adult intro to the whole story of dinos) & "Dinopedia: A Brief Compendium of Dinosaur Lore" (the best adult guide to dinos & their cultural impact since the 1970s).
@@Steven-ez6qp Thank you Steven! 😁 I agree with you 100%. Both the lawyer and Dennis got what they deserve and it made me so happy haha!
How could anyone NOT notice that T-Rex sneak into that main hall at the end... lol
Obviously they used Ninja DNA to fill in the gaps in the T-Rex genome. 😁
Well, they were distracted.
Funny story:
I was in college when this came out. My girlfriend at the time, she and I took her little brother (10-ish years old) to go see this movie. During the T-rex scene where it was going after the kids in the vehicle, she and I looked at each other and said "are you scared...? You want to leave...?" I looked at her little brother and asked him, "Are you OK? You want to leave?" He was like "No this is great!"
LOL Little kid loved it and we adults were terrified. But maybe in my defense, growing up I had recurring nightmares where a T-rex was coming after me. This was long before Jurassic Park and this movie introduced the term "T-rex". Before this they were just called Tyranosaurs. It was just a strange nightmare I would often have. So for me this was literally a nightmare come to life.
Also, Ian Malcolm wasn't a dick, he was just confident and sometimes obnoxious about it. Dennis (aka Newman) was a dick.
Haha! thanks so much for sharing that story. I found the T-rex absolutely terrifying and I know it must have been even MORE terrifying to film.
Also, I guess I called Malcolm a dick because he really was overly confident (very intelligent though), but would also talk about marrying different women, trying to find the next “Mrs. Malcom” just to be on a lookout for another again anyway. I know he was saying it jokingly so it doesn’t matter, but it seems ridiculous to me. I appreciate him helping save those kids though, and being a huge help to Sattler when she was in the shed. He knew what was up and and made sure to do what was needed!
Dennis on the other hand definitelyyy is a dick. 100%, I agree with you.
@@kaylyptic Yeah in that sense he was a dick, good point.
"Before this they were just called Tyranosaurs"
I don't mean to be "that guy," but allow me to introduce you to the band "T-Rex," named after the Tyranosaurus, who started in 1967: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._Rex_(band)
@@hellomark1 Good point. Where I'm from the dinosaurs weren't called t-rex until after the movie came out.
the scene when they first see the long neck dino, still to this day gets me teary eyed. It is such a nostalgic scene for me, remembering as a kid seeing this film and believing that dinosaurs had actually been alive in our world. Such a wonderful scene. Will always have a place in my heart and memories.
"Those damn dinosaurs!" I was dying!!! LOLLLLLLLLL
the sound tracks to this movie are 10/10 iconic
Its amazing so beautifully done during the t rex break out that youre so engaged in whats happening that no one ever questions where the huge cliff came from when uou basically watched the t rex step out. 😂
Saw this in the theater the weekend it was released. Took a friend with me who freaked out during the T-rex opening scene.
RUclips knows me well. It shows me someone watching Jurassic Park for the first time, I click it.
The people who designed the dinosaurs' vocalizations were geniuses. I can't imagine them sounding any other way.
Wonderful reaction.
The suspense sequences, the acting (especially by the child actors), the dialogue, the animatronics and the score by the legendary John Williams is like an icing on a phenomenal coconut sugar cake. This film/blockbuster was ahead of it's time and the scene where the Brachiosaurus is revealed is one of the greatest cinematic experiences of all time.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a fairly worthy sequel but everything else beyond that is completely up to the eye of the beholder.
Love your tattoos too. The traditional skull with the sunflowers.
Thank you so much! :) I agree with everything you mentioned and I can’t wait to watch the rest of the franchise. Thank you again for the support!
I got to see this at age 7 in a drive in theatre. What an experience, the wonder then the terror.
They weren't entirely depending upon Nedry to operate the park just most of the staff left because of the storm. He just thought himself most important and deserving of more money hence why he was selling the embryo's to a competing research company. In that moment because of his meddling with the systems he would have been the only one to correct it ... I think anyway lol
I think the whole point is that Nedry WAS one of the only people who can do his job, at least for how much he was getting paid, and therefore asked for more money, which Hammond refused. That’s why he sold him out to steal the embryos. Hammond’s whole deal is that he cut corners and money everywhere and it led to everyone’s downfall. Movie Hammond is a cutie while book Hammond is a straight up villain 😂
@@IFMIStupidFox yeah Hammond in the book definitely got what was coming lol
@@IFMIStupidFox nedry was the only one capable because he designed it that way. that's the whole "white rabbit. obj" subplot in the novel and film. he made himself indispensable. his plan was to deliver the embryos and come back to save the day by restoring everything.
if he didn't do that arnold had the capacity to fix it all as the lead engineer. so crystal is right.
but you are right in that hammond's schtick is to cut corners.
you are right.
@@IFMIStupidFoxYet a 13 year old(I think) girl was able to restore the system just by having some computer knowledge. So clearly, Nedry's job wasn't that difficult.
I am so in agreement about the soundtrack! I have loved this one since I first heard it in the 90's. Glad that you talk about it!
The parents will be mad? The kid was being a brat 😂😂
Love the reaction video. Watched the movie in theaters in 1993. I love Jurassic Park 😁😍🙌
"Dodgeson, you're too nice."
Oh sweet summer child.
I can totally understand their excitement for the T Rex at the beginning, because for paleontologists it would be like a dream come true to be able to study a living Tyrannosaurus since we still know very little about it. Sure, it is unfit as a tourist attraction but for the science it would be so amazing to have a living Rex around as long as it is properly contained.
Lol at "very high stress levels".
Try watching this in the cinema at 8 years old when it was first released.
Now THAT is stress 😆
Amazing reaction Kaylyptic this is one of my favorite Spielberg movies I remember that Jurassic Park ride too when I was kid and had lots of fun going on it as well I have Jurassic Park the game for Xbox 360 from Tell Tale also when you saw the kitchen scene did you see a hand on the Velociraptor it was a gag reel I thought it was cool they kept it in I hope you enjoy watching and reacting to the other Jurassic Park movies👍
Thank you!! I love Telltale games and always had interest trying the Jurassic Park game sometime
@@kaylyptic Your welcome I highly recommend it for you👍
June 11, 1993 was when Jurassic Park was released. 30 YEARS AGO!!!!
I've always said if Jurassic Park existed irl I'd work there for room and board and access to the attractions lol
I love this movie. It is very well made on every level. The acting, script, visual effects, direction, it all comes together quite perfectly.
I can't say the same thing for any of the sequels. The second is more horror, but utterly predictable. The third is a little more adventure, but the script and direction aren't there. The World movies don't interest me and I haven't seen any of them from beginning to end.
That was a fun reaction! Another "monster" flick I'd like to suggest is "TREMORS", it'll be fun to watch your reaction to another great movie also! Thanks, and I'll looking forward to more of your reactions! 🎥🍿
Loved this. Much respect for the giant Kirby in the back!
thank you so much!!!
Nice reaction to my favorite movie of all time. I was surprise u didn't get very scared in Ellie and the Raptor scene. 🤣
This was the first movie I can remember the theatrical experience of, I was 5 or so and we saw it at a drive-in the week it came out!
21:55 hell yeah!! Most people just go "no you idiot it was already distracted!" when Malcolm comes out, but like hell a single thrown flare distracts rexy far enough. Man was straight up ready to die for two kids he'd never even spoken to. The naturalistic performances and characters really make their heroism all the more touching bc they feel so real.
Feeling the T-Rex's footsteps beneath your seat while seeing the water was one of the most intense cinematic experiences ever. Funny, they just used a guitar string underneath the dashboard...Clever girl
This was a fun reaction. It's cool too see younger folks react to this film.
As a human it is terrifying to think of being back in the food chain
The movie that Spielberg did it again, created a masterpiece in every single way possible that for people is 1 of their precious cinema memories for all time and would always cherish watching this for all the emotions it still brings.
You should teach a class on making thumbnails. Your faces are so good! 😂
Thank you so much haha! Maybe on day 👀
I like how these creatures one second is smart enough to realize how to open door and the next they think mirror image is a real image.
I love the insert of the passenger rearview mirror. Objects are closer than they appear.
In the scene where she says “Run” she was motivating herself to run because her leg was injured.
LMAO that ride at universal TRAUMATISED me when i went on holiday to orlando when i was like 7 or 8. the jaws and earthquake one were also up there as max level character building exercises 🤣
I was put in a side seat instead of a middle seat for jaws so I was always the closest to the shark animatronic ☹️ I wanted to cry LOL
The kid who plays Timmy later went on to portray Queen's bass guitarist John Deacon in the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody".
He was also in GI Joe - Retaliation. Also played Mark Zuckerberg’s other collab “Dustin Moskovitz” in The Social Network.
This is such a good movie. I am so glad to see you react to this movie. And I really enjoy your reaction to this movie. When I watch this movie with you. It is like I am watching Jurassic Park together. And the very first time that I saw this movie was when it came into theaters back in June 20, 1993. And I was only 16 years old at the time that I saw this movie Jurassic Park at the movie.
i cant wait for you to watch the other movies! I think you will really like malcom in the next one..
Imagine seeing it in theaters when it came out in 1993. A fantastic experience!
Still one of the greatest openings to any film ever
Also i am in awe of the lines
"MR hammond after careful consideration, I've decided not to endorse your park."
"...So have I"
Fun fact about Tyrannosaurus Rex:
while in the book and the movies it has movement-based vision, in real life it had vision as sharp as an eagle, along with its powerful sense of smell and hearing.
i saw this in the theatre back in 93 when i was 6. props to the folks for doing that
Part of the reason the film is so smart, especially at the beginning, is that it's based on a book by Michael Crichton. Crichton got his MD from Harvard in 1969, but decided to become a full-time author instead of practicing medicine. He was very good at doing scientific research and weaving cutting-edge science into novels. He also wrote and directed several films and created the long-running medical drama ER (1994-2009).
Love your commentary! Anyone can react, but a smart reactor with things to say is more interesting.
He also helped write the script for this movie too.
Speaking of this and ER, he was the first person in history to have the #1 rated show, movie AND Book (disclosure) at the same time....a feat I believe he duplicated a 2nd time.
6:52 Grant can’t buckle his seatbelt because he has two “female” halves of the seatbelt. Which foreshadows life finding a way because he makes things work by tying them together
I remember at the time some people were really scared that dinosaurs really existed. Simply because there have never been such realistic effects before 😉 Chapeau, Spielberg!
*unrelated* that skull tattoo is so dope
thank you so much!!! :)
Great first time reaction!
I enjoy how much you appreciate a solid script, especially one that answers the viewers questions when they think to ask them.
'Back to the Future' is a movie I recommend for exactly this reason, the script is just chef's kiss!
Thank you! Added Back to the Future onto my watchlist :)
@@kaylyptic Hell yes please do Back To the Future! The whole trilogy is great!

Your reactions are amazing and insightful. Thanks for sharing!

Great reaction! 😊
"Welcome to Jurassic Park"
Was looking forward to the start of your "Star Wars" reactions, but instead I get surprised with another one of my top 3 favorite movie franchises. LOVE IT!!!
This first movie is my absolute favorite in the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World series. A great cast with Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. The great use of CGI effects and real animatronics. And of course, the fantastic musical score by John Williams.
Fun Facts: Jeff Goldblum's character Ian Malcolm was very close to dying from his injuries in the book that this movie was based on. Also, Dennis' death in the book was more violent.
37:46 I agree! The shot with the banner coming down as the T-Rex roars is one of my favorite shots of the movie.
I hope that you continue on with the remaining Jurassic Park/Jurassic World series. Two more movies remaining in the "Jurassic Park" half and 3 movies in the "Jurassic World" half.
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
"Dodgson, you're too nice" is something I've never heard before.
LOL! I know, given what they’re planning in that scene 😭
@@kaylyptic In the book the guy is a biggest douche on the planet. Says f*ck every other sentence, usually at his own people, is not above murdering people to get his way. He's a delight.
As someone whos read both books, hearing you call dodgson nice was hilarious
“Do they keep the dinosaurs somewhere else before putting them in cages?” Congratulations, you predicted the plot thread leading to the sequel… The Lost World.
John Williams is one of the greatest film composers of all time. He’s done most of Spielberg’s films, plus Harry Potter, Home Alone, Superman…
Real raptors were the size of turkeys and had feathers but they based of a different dinosaur that is not named very easy for crowds to remember. There were ostrich and larger dinosaurs like deinonychus that use to be around but the Jurassic period is much different that what is popularly know. Its sort of a catch word for everything people understand as creatures of the old worlds. The reason I think this first movie is so good is that the author of the book is involved and Spielberg made this a PG horror roller-coaster ride compared to the rated R horror flick that James Cameron was going to pitch to Michael Crichton. He gave up the pitch because he was busy and heard Spielberg was involved. Cameron admits now that his version probably would not be as popular because Spielberg reaches more age ranges.
I love your point in your outro about how you love movies where everybody is using their brain.
Me too.
Any 12-year-old can write a story where a bumbling hero beats even more bumbling villains.
But it takes some skill to write a movie where competent heroes beat competent villains.
And it takes masterful skill to write a movie where amazing heroes defeat brilliant villains.
There weren't really any villains to defeat here, which is also very well done.
It's one of the best thing about Jurassic Park: it lets the dinosaurs be the danger rather than manufacturing a villain we don't need.
Yeah, sure, Dennis Nedry got greedy and caused nearly all of the problems.
But nobody had to defeat him; he defeated himself.
So while he's awful, he was never a villain the heroes had to defeat.
The dinosaurs spoke for themselves.
And the writers let them.
And the brilliant protagonists found a way to survive, with a little help at the end from a surprisingly stealthy T-Rex.
This was such a good movie and I really like it a lot. To this day I still love this movie.
27:00 when you say the Rex is going to hunt them...that's exactly what it does in the book. The Rex stalks and hunts Grant, Lex & Tim. The Rex follows them in a raft down the river and is actually waiting for them at the bottom of a waterfall. Great book snd suspenseful scene!
I saw this movie when it first released in theatres and that opening scene had nothing for my dad to have to cover my eyes over and yet it was horrifying. Even so, I loved the movie, was so into dinosaurs at the time, so the film came out at the perfect time for me. The practical effects mixed with CGI was perfect.
Also, to answer your question, insects were generally much larger back in the dinosaur era, because there was a higher oxygen content in the air.
Jurassic Park is my absolute favorite of the entire saga! I still have memories when I went a local movie theater, and it had famous scenes from movies framed on the wall. They had a framed shot of the scene of the T-Rex roaring as the Jurassic Park banner falls. 🦕🦖🖤💛❤️
The fact that something as rudimentary as seatbelts were done wrong is proof that they did in fact spare some expenses.
Fun story, when I was little I loved Dinosaurs and my mom recorded this for me off the TV but stopped the film at all the parts where someone dies, It wasn't years later till I rewatched the tape and realized it made no sense and jumped around a lot, and characters just stopped showing up in the film for some reason.
I dont understand why jurassic park+world movies are scary to other people because I just laugh at those who are scared by it.
I was working at Deep Pan Pizza in the UK one Saturday evening, the trailer came on the TV's as I was serving someone, I was so enthralled by it that I spilt Pepsi all over the customer. I was sacked the next day but didn't care. I went to see the film at a local UCI cinema the next weekend with family and friends. We were absolutely enthralled and astounded, kids were running out of the cinema at the T-Rex escape scene closely followed by their parents. No one could believe or comprehend how on earth they had created dinosaurs on film that looked so realistic. It was THE best cinema experience I have ever had to this very day. I was 20 at the time and I'm 52 now. No film at the cinema will EVER beat that experience! 🙂👍🏆
The scene where Grant can’t get his seatbelt fastened is actually subtle foreshadowing for the dinosaurs laying eggs despite being all female. The two ends of the seatbelt Grant has are the same but he manages to, _uh, find a way._
Fun fact, the helicopter scene where Grant can't buckle his seatbelt because he has two female ends and "finds a way" to make them work by tying them was clever foreshadowing about the female dinosaurs being able to procreate, LIFE FINDS A WAY.
Another fun fact is that John Hammond is played by Richard Attenborough, he was an amazing actor and brother to David Attenborough, The the narrator voice you hear on all the nature documentaries. If I recall correctly he's also the voice of dinosaur documentary "Prehistoric Planet"
22:45 "I'm surprised they have no staff going out there to make sure that everyone outside is OK."
Everybody got on the boat.
There's a tropical storm so the island was mostly evacuated.
Right now the only people not leaving the island are Hammond, Ray, Dennis, Alan, Ellie, Ian, Tim, Lex, Muldoon, and Donald the lawyer.
And maybe that doctor working on the sick triceratops.
There's nobody else.
