Keep in mind this was 1993. These dinosaur graphics were something no one had ever seen before. I saw this in theater and it was the most insane thing I had ever seen in my life. Sure the T-rex was cool, but seeing that first shot of the brachiosaurus was literally magic beyond what my mind could handle.

I saw it in the theater when it came out... I was 7 and I'm sure my parents regretted it, it scared me so much. The dinosaurs were so real compared to anything else at that time, and the action scenes were done really well. Like the scene in the kitchen, I remember feeling like I was crawling on the floor along with the kid actors.

Yeah, I think people nowadays don't realize that, because they're kind of desensitized to that kind of stuff, CGI and all. Seeing that first shot of the brachiosaurus in a theater in 1993 was truly a unique experience. The characters see a dinosaur for the very first time... and so did we.

I saw this in the theater when it first came out. They had surround sound in the theater. Not only could you hear that T-Rex coming up on you, you could feel it. The whole theater shook every time it took a step.

Malcolm knows about the dangers of science... he turned himself into a fly once.

The thing I always thought was cute, is that since Tim really idolizes Grant, not just the bandana is the same, but his entire outfit is just about the same but with slight changes. The bandana is blue instead of red, his shirt is the same but with short sleeves, and his pants are the same, just as shorts

I was 12 when the original hit theaters. Up to that point, nearly all of our experiences as students with dinosaurs were pictures and in my school, atrocious stop motion documentaries where the T. rex still stood upright, and the information was incredibly dated. Unfortunately, we (as students and probably the teachers as well) didn't know better. Jurassic Park changed everything for us. Even if scientifically the movie has some flawed dino science and theories, it was so far ahead and more accurate compared to what we as students were originally taught. The fact that it was wlso an incredible movie, it made dinosaur fans out of nearly everyone.

Hard to believe this movie is 30+ years old. One of the epic films from the 90s.

This is the best editing job I have seen on any reaction. You let all the best scenes play out, and then commented after, not talking over them. Great job.

It doesn't matter how often I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare. Side notes: The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects. The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls) and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death). The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds. The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and dolphin mating scream, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds. The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of a fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s). The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a female horse in heat. A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart." Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.

Also the truly amazing thing is that Spielberg was editing this movie whilst shooting Schindler's List in Europe. Both movies released the same year. The man is a genius.

"Very innovative..." Alan using two 'female' buckle ends to make a functional seatbelt is huge foreshadowing to the eventual dino breeding.

The raptor trivia point isnt actually correct. The JP raptors are deinonychus antirrhopus scaled up *slightly* to the size of Utahraptors (maybe a foot taller, and Utahraptors were discovered during filming and nearly named after Speilberg but an agreement couldnt be reached). However, during the time that the original novel was being *written*, a paleontologist published a book that, among other things, *reclassified deinonychus antirrhopus as VELOCIRAPTOR ANTIRRHOPUS*, and that book was one of Crichton's main sources. The "chicken size velociraptor" is velociraptor mongoliensis, a completely different dinosaur entirely.

Whenever something goes wrong at Jurassic Park and you think to yourself “this is unrealistic… nobody would be so reckless”, just remember the homemade sub that billionaires rode down in to see the Titanic.

Like Ian Malcolm said - "they were so preocupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should"

Hammond definitely DID spare expenses: - No backup systems for fences - Giving 1 person access to all systems. - Having a door lock system that doesn't lock doors from the outside if it fails. - Placing a main electrical room that controls all critical systems in a remote location away from the central comand center. - Not having locking doors on the tour vehicles. - Not having a backup server system that can be switched on in case of main system failure. - Using a slow as 💩, poorly navigating Unix operating system to run the entire damn park. - Last but not least, using 1 FU**ING nail to secure the navigation arrow on the sign showing where the east dock is!

Dennis couldn't even quit if he wanted to because Hammond threatened to make him look bad to anyone who was interested in hiring Dennis for other work Hammond was an absolutely terrible person in the book because he was such a cheapskate and blamed everyone for the things that happened throughout the book, and refused to take responsibility for it all. He even blamed his grandchildren for several of the problems. To Hammond, making money was the only thing he cared about. Even worse, he planned to keep all the deaths that happened a secret so he wouldn't get in trouble, and planned to open ANOTHER Jurassic Park after all is said and done

Hammond's issue are more rooted in naivety and not knowing everything he needed, but I will say that the Unix system used in the film was one that was still being made/in beta while it was filming, so it was advanced for its time. Also the "1 person with access to everything" was the guy who was *making it* for him, and Nedry overstated his skills as well as underbid on the job to get Hammond to hire him in the first place, which is why he was there debugging everything to begin with and complaining about Hammond not paying him more to fix his own mistakes. Edit: Movie!Hammond, specifically, is the one that was naive. Book!Hammond was just a greedy corporate asshole and a completely different person lol

That sequence of the 2 raptors in the pantry is my go-to example for how great the cgi blending is in this movie. Particularly when one of em snipes at the other coming through the doorway.

They might look a little less brown, and far less cloudy looking... because the lighting would be better on the set, as well as captured better in the camera. The detailing on the CG raptors would also be far more real detail, rather than faked with bump map texturing.

There are so many details from the novel that they couldn't cram into the movie. Dennis had a legitimate grievance with the way InGen handled his contract. The dinos with amphibian DNA had been breeding for some time but the animal check the computer did numerous times a day via cameras and sensors had a "convenience" that limited the count to make it faster and therefore could not see the fact there were more of those species. There were quite a few other things that makes the novel worth reading regardless of how many times you see the movie.

Yeah, they system counted to make sure no animal was missing, so it stoped counting when it reached the expected numbers. When you put it in the bigger context of cutting corners everywhere and being overconfident that nothing will go wrong, it makes sense.

One of the key aspects of this park is needing minimal staff due to all the automation. Making it so they don't need that many security guards. And being that "Newman" is the one programming all that automation, that makes it real easy for him to access anywhere he wants.

Malcolm has the best line (paraphrased) "...too preoccupied with whether they could, they never stopped to think if they should." I mean, there's no argument against that.

Dilophosaurs are a lot smarter and tricker than people think. The reason Nedry couldn't find his way to the dock is because they had him going in circles. At 25:45 in your reaction, you can see the sign with the arrow pointing straight ahead (straight up). It cuts away for just a moment, and when it shows that sign again after Nedry slipped and slid down the hill (at 25:54), the arrow is now pointing left. Those sneaky dilophosaurs changed it while nobody was looking! :)

The moment that score hits from the epic sweep into the island via the helicopter, 1 of the great ensemble cast performances including Richard Attenborough in his latter career still able to give a legendary performance as that character - the acting abilities of those 2 at the time of starring in this literally only kids Ariana Richards as Lex and Joseph Mazello as Timmy that made them adored forever and 1 of the most solid believable performances ever as a brother and sister combo.....so much that will make this forever a precious movie in the history of all movies!

This movie will never get old.

1. There were no "experts in the field of archeology" in this film. Dr. Grant is a paleontologist, Dr. Sattler is a paleobotanist, and Dr. Malcolm is a "chaotician" (I assume he's some kind of statistician). 2. I had an epiphany about this film a few weeks ago: In one of the first scenes, Dr. Grant asserts that several species of dinosaurs evolved into birds, as they are more closely related to birds than to reptiles. But then Hammond used *amphibian* DNA to patch the dino DNA gaps? I think it should've been bird DNA. Fun fact: Some bird species (including domestic ducks and chickens) are able to go through a complete female-to-male sex change, including reproductive success. Birds typically have one functional ovary (generally the left) and one inert, underdeveloped clump of cells on the right side. If the functioning ovary becomes damaged and dies due to injury or infection, the clump of cell on the right side that would be termed the "right ovary" develops into a functioning testes. This results in plumage, behavioral, and physical changes, including the ability to breed females of the same species. If you hang around a duck facebook group long enough, you'll see it come up. Hammond totally should've used bird DNA. It would've made way more sense.

This and its immediate sequel, The Lost World, were adapted from the Michael Crichton novels of the same name. After that are four more films, a short film and a Netflix animated series

Pigtails and glasses! That gentleman is blessed!! I remember watching this on June 11th 1993. I was working as an independent contractor at Borland International in Scotts Valley I decided to take that Friday off I thought it would be prudent to go to an empty theater. Little did I know Apple Computer had reserved 75% of the seats at Century 24 in the end I wasn't sure whether I was more afraid of the dinosaurs on the screen or the Apple employees in the audience!!

The sounds of the dinosaurs are incredible: The Brachiosaurus are that of Whales, Elephants, Donkeys and Swans, slowed down to make it sound big. The Velociraptor has the sounds of Dolphins, Walrus, Vultures, Penguins, Tortoises Mating, and human rasps. The sounds of the Tyrannosaurus Rex are that of Tigers, koala bears, whale's blowhole, elephants, and a dog playing with a chewtoy. The Gallimimus sounds are that of horse cries. The sound of the Dilophosaurus are that of Swans, hawk, rattlesnake, howler monkey, and Cicada. The Triceratops sounds are that of cows bellowing into a tube.

The irony of your comment about movie theaters in the intro is that the best way to see the original Jurrasic Park is indeed the movie theater, not on VHS or streaming. Saw it on opening day in 1993 and recently for the 30th anniversary and it’s still better on the big screen with an audience.

Love this movie as a kid and been a fan since I got to watch it as a 3/4 year old in 96-97. Beautiful how much the effects have stand the test of the times. Seeing you guys enjoying it makes me smile. One of the few films that many still enjoys whether you’re a first time watcher or someone who have watched it so many times like many

For those of us that were kids at the time I feel like this was our equivalent to what Star Wars was for our parents.

The fact that Hammond had two dinosaur specialists AND a well educated professor, telling him it's a bad idea and Hammond is like "spared no expense"!

Still such a great film! Goldblum is a highlight for me... his line "You think they'll have that on the tour?" is my favorite in the film. There's a terrific documentary miniseries on the history of Industrial Light & Magic on Disney Plus and they spend much of one episode on the making of this film - it's not often you can point to a singular event that changes the course of history but this film is very much one of them with regard to film making.

So fun fact, that whack ass 3D file system that Lex uses to try and lock the doors was a real filesystem that existed back int he early 90's by the bye, fantastic reaction you two, much

Just wanted to point out that the people who dig up dinosaur bones are not archeologists. They are paleontologists.

12:55 "doesn't that seem like a problem to have around?" This is one of those things that's expanded on more in the book. Part of Hammond's villainy in the book is that even though they know the raptors are too dangerous to put in a display habitat, Hammond is resistant to having them destroyed. Here, it's basically glossed over with Muldoon announcing that opinion as his entrance and Hammond calling him "a bit of an alarmist." And Richard Attenborough is so good at playing the charming, kindly old grandfather figure that it kinda slides by you.

32:06. The underlying theme of the movie is that no, they didn’t think about it, they’ve cut corners everywhere. They chose poisonous plants because they looked good. They hired Nedry because he was cheap. The whole park was half-assed

8:34 the most iconic line of the movie Arianna Richards is so good in this

Interesting difference in Dr. Grant between the book and the movie - in the book he likes kids from the start. After all - “How could you not like people who love dinosaurs so much?” I guess the movie needed him to be forever changed and that was a decent way to do it.

Have to keep in mind that before this movie, dinosaurs in film were usually people in rubber suits or claymation. They couldn't not be campy or silly.

Nedry's reasons for screwing over Hammond and Ingen in the novel was that Hammond drastically undersold the workload of the contract for what he was being paid, and when Nedry wanted to quit Ingen sued him for breach of contract and badmouthed him to his other clients making them abandon him, forcing Nedry to continue working there for peanuts.

Still one of the best novels ever! Great reaction y’all!

Back in '93 this movie was mindblowing. The first Brachiosaur was like... omg crit to the feels for 10 year old me.

Everything about this movie was epically larger than life then, the soundtrack so fits it. Iirc from the book, the sick dinosaur at the beginning was showing how they’re changing, they started eating plants with Lysine and were starting to change sex. There’s some other technical aspects explained more in the book, it’s well worth a read.

22:14 nothing like this moment back in the theater.

Watching this on a small screen can't accurately convey the feeling of seeing that first dinosaur on the big screen. It was practically life-sized.

Fun tidbit, the glass roof of the car wasn't supposed to fall in when Rexy pushed on it. That was the kids genuine reaction and fear 😅

Malcolm's bare chest pose (after he's brought back to the control room), kind of that of Adam in Michelangelo's painting "The Creation of Adam". I can't remember whether it was deliberate or not, but would be very fitting in a movie where people are basically playing god.

I've made this comment before, but I feel that casting the brother of the worlds preeminent naturalist as the man who created a dinosaur park forever changing nature was an absolutely amazing decision. Considering that Spielberg made this only so he could make Schindlers List its incredible. Also, he had his buddy George finish some of the filming. George Lucas. This is there second best dinosaur project together.

The lawyer in the book is the hero of the story.

When this came out on VHS we bought a sub wolfer for our stereo just to listen properly to the T-Rex.

Prior to this movie, dinosaur special effects were awful. There was the stop-gap clay animation such as used in the 1933 King Kong. Godzilla - sort of a giant T-rex - was played by a guy in a rubber lizard suit. And a low-cost but common way was to photograph a Gila Monster down low and then project it behind the actors. To the audiences at the time in 1993, this move was stop-in-your-tracks stunning. The special effects in this hold up fairly well, but the science about dinosaurs has probably advanced more in the last three decades since this movie than in all the time leading up to it. For one thing, scientists now know many dinosaurs, particularly in the branch that includes T-rex, raptors, and modern birds. They have even been able to determine the feather colors of some, which could be as brightly colored as birds, not the dull green scaly skin still thought to be the norm at the time of this movie. Along with the feathers, due to needing to insulate warm-blooded animals, came the need to brood a hatch of eggs, to sit on them to keep them warm. It appears that feathers grew longer off the forearms as a way to better keep the eggs warm - in other words, primitive wings, which had lots of evolutionary advantage before they grew long enough for flight. The directors based their velociraptors on a larger animal, still with sickle claws and with feathers. A true velociraptor looked more like a scary turkey. Should this movie peak your interest in dinos, I can't recommend the two seasons of Prehistoric Planet, with the episodes available on KZread.

Carnivores can get fatally wounded in going after prey so the smaller (to a point) the better. And cats are incredibly efficient hunters but only when hungry and mice rather than rats most times. Ditto for pit bulls. A better comparison instead of a turkey would be a roadrunner - beep, beep. But with teeth.

In the scene where Dennis Nedry dies, the actor is made up with a purple goop on his face. After the scene was shot the purple goop stained his face and would not come off. At the time Wayne Knight--the actor--was also working on the American sitcom Seinfeld, Wayne had a panic attack on set because he was afraid he'd be fired from Seinfeld because his face was stained. Evidently it worked out just fine as he was a recurring character on the show for the rest of its run through 1998.

By the way, in the book, the strange things about the T-rex not seeing anything unless it was moving was attributed to the frog DNA. Again, scientists now know a T-rex had incredible vision. But all in all, it is a movie with subjective choices made all along and subjective audience members agreeing or disagreeing with them. If you do a search on "velociraptor" and "prehistoric planet," you will instantly see the difference.

I've had a crush on Jeff Goldblum since I saw him in Vibes with the singer Cyndi Lauper. A million years ago it seems like. It's on Prime if anyone wants to see a cheeky mystery with a twist. It's fabulous lol but when this came out I was drooling over Dr Ian Malcom the whole movie. This was my eye candy or years lol

The waterfall at the beginning 7:25 they actually named Jurassic Park Falls in Hawaii

I continue to and will always find it amusing that 'think theyll have that on the tour' was somewhat prophetic as they pretty much do have 'that' on the Jurrassic Park river boat tour ride at universal studios :P

apparently dinosaurs don't like lawyers either! well done, T!

"I dont think we're close to having dinosaurs" they are cloning woolly mammoths right now.

Eric, I laughed at your “bone” joke 2:52 I got it, man!

32:13 Goldblum is definitely the most Glorious Beast in this movie. 🤣

22:41 "wha? what is he doing?? why would you get out?" -sarah 😮

hilarious jurassic park [1993] film - sarah's first time watching -movie reaction !!!!

If yall read the book (way better than the movie which is hard to say) the lawyer and hammond were backwards, the lawyer was more focused on safety while hammond was all about making money and was almost like a spoiled brat lol When yall can get the book on audible or a physical copy and you wont be disappointed! (Also if you didnt catch it, little timmys actor plays eugene sledge in the pacific)

It just occured to me that the opinion of a third party who is basically bought by the owner is not what the insurance companywould agree too.

Yall gotta do all of em

When I was kid growing up, I obsessed over this film watching the T-Rex scene, and Raptors was always my favorite now as an adult becoming a writer myself now the dinner scene talking about the implications of what they created is now my favorite. Still holds up.

If you pay attention to Wayne Knight's (Newman) character, he wears the outfit of several of The Goonies throughout different scenes

Besides all the comments on the amazing effects, and sounds, and music, and comments about the technology differences to today, I think it's fun how normal the dialogue feels in this movie. Their conversations and the way people talk to each other, it all just feels so normal, like how normal people would talk and behave in similar situations. A lot of movies now feel like people are just acting like memes, or their dialogue are just witty zingers. They don't feel like real people. They feel like they are pretending to be normal, but aren't.

I saw this in the theater when I was about 8. What a great experience. I remember gripping the armrests pretty hard when the T-rex attacked, haha. Fantastic film.

The kid who said the dinosaur didn’t look very scary was in Full House. He played Walter aka “Duckface”

Mild spoiler, but the reason the security seemed so bad was because this was the beginning of the age of modern technology. Being a "state of the art facility", everything was computerized. In the book, Nedry was hired as the lowest bidder to write all the code. He grew dissatisfied, after the scope of the work increased and Hammond wouldn't amend his contract(Hammond was more of an evil businessman in the book). So, that is why he sold out the research, and was able to bypass security so easily. I believe it was also his intention to come back and reset everything, so everyone else would be none the wiser, but the storm hitting the island shortened his timetable and he panicked.

Funny thing about that scene with herbivores at 29:45 is that for example deers and probably all herbivores gladly do exception if they can eat some protein condensate aka meat. They don't hunt or ripp apart but if it fits in the mouth they will chomp on it. If deer can eat little duckling and cow eat snakes than brachiosaurus woult gladly try little apes.

4:11 In a world where dinosaurs are now roaming the earth again, the most unrealistic thing is Ellie thinking raising a child is CHEAP XD Even back in the '90s having children was an expensive thing

this MOVIE is really incredibles.. i mean the CGI is so greeaattt... like its 1993. and im still in my dad body 😂😭

The funny thing is that when I was In school I went on a field trip to the Pyramid in Memphis Tennessee to see the Jurassic Park exhibit and saw the actual T-Rex and other anamatronics that were used in this movie. So cool and awesome to see when I was a kid.

32:14 That’s the reason why a lot of seats in the theatre were wet.

I'm so happy you know who Newman is.

For giggles look up Nedry - Goonies outfits. He is wearing the same outfits as Goonies characters.

The Lost World Jurassic Park was awesome also
