Absolutely watch the first 2 and the third is up to you. I would vote no on 3, then again it may make you appreciate these. But I'm no gatekeeper.
Love this franchise!! Wait until you see the 6th movie Dominion, crazy scary. have you reacted tot he movie She's the Man? I just watched it and it is hilarious
@LiteWeightReacting Birds are dinosaurs btw (no, this is not a joke, I'm serious). Dinosaurs are actually not extinct - only the non-avian (bird) dinosaurs are. Which also means that birds are actually reptiles. Another misconception about the non-avian dinosaurs is that they where whiped out by the meteroid strike at the end of the Cretacious, but in reality most if not all species where already extinct before the impact. The meteroid did wipe out the large marine reptiles like mosasaurs (which are not dinosaurs) and the last pterosaurs though, as well as many other species.
Birds are the group within the dinosaurs that is most closely related to the Dromaeosauridae, the group that also includes Velociraptor. The depiction of the velociraptor in the movie is wrong for two reasons btw: The first reason wasn't known when the movie was made - all Dromaeosauridae including Velociraptors had feathers (the fossils proving that where found in 1997, several years after the movie was made). The second reason however was known at the time: The Velociraptors in the movie are way too big. Real velociraptors where 2 meters in length from snout to the tip of the tail and about half of that was the tail - their height would have been about knee-high for an adult man. The raptors in the movie are based on the species Deinonychus, another much larger species that was also part of the Dromaeosauridae and as such had feathers as well. I don't know why they chose to call the animals shown in the movie Velociraptors and not by the correct name Deinonychus (which means terrible claw btw).
13:53 That is actually a misconception as well. When thinking about the vertebrate species that kills the most humans in Africa each year - you'd most likely think of the wrong species. Most people say hyenas, lions, crocodiles, wild dogs, leopards...they think of the most dangerous predators in Africa and yes, these do occasionally kill humans.
However - the species that kills the most humans and by a good margin is actually a herbivore species: Hippos. Hippos are unpredictable and extremely dangerous, especially the male ones. Similarly, elephants, rhinos, giraffes and even african buffalos are all easily capable of killing a human and sometimes do so (and not by accident but because of the animals feeling threatened).
@@tanelviil9149 but for a youtube reaction video to do well it needs to be a movie MANY people will recognize otherwise it won't garner the same amount of views. like if I saw a reaction for any of the named movies you have listed I wouldn't have clicked on them because I haven't seen it. youtube content is still a business.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
Your comments about seeing the dinosaur for the first time: nobody had ever seen anything like that before. Seeing it in the theater when it first came out, that scene just floored everybody! And then the wide shot of the whole valley filled with different dinosaurs was amazing!
I was eight when it came out, i go with my uncle to see it (it wasn't PG-watever in my country), it was incredible, probably one of my best cinema experience ever !
Came here to say roughly the same thing. Was imagine seeing it opening night. When nothing like that had ever been seen before.
I cry when I see it honestly ❤
The score and the passion, it’s so gorgeous ❤
When the movie came out in 1993 I distinctly remember newspaper articles reporting that many people couldn't understand how Spielberg did it since CGI of that level hadn't t really been seen back then. Some people even suspected Spielberg of having bred real dinosaurs. 🤣
@@milhouse8525 I was 2, so I couldnt go see it when it first came out, but every re-run I was there on the theater and I destroyed my VHS of it with too many rewatches
The original Jurassic Park film from 93 is not only the best JP film… but easily one of the greatest films of all time in any genre.
.......I wouldn't say ANY genre. Spielberg went from Jurassic Park to Schindler's list and I can't really see JP pushing THAT out of the way to claim best/greatest War Movie/Holocaust genre. Or teen romance dystopian future genre. Or found footage horror genre.....but it does combine quite a few of them.
I would say that the 2nd movie is probadly the best.
What? ist the best.
Absolutely. It's close to being my all-time favorite film of any genre..
Found footage had what a good 3yrs before it started getting old lol, its basically the easiest least work as far as cinematography that you can get, terrible take.@sianne79
30 years ago I was a seven year-old kid, desperate to watch this amazing new dinosaur movie. My parents, of course, said: "NO, too adult"! One weekend my Dad was caring for me while my Mom worked. Long story short, we went to Auto Zone to get the car fixed, he told me it'd take an hour, over four hours later we were still sitting there in the waiting room.
After the car was finally repaired, he told me "Thank you so much for being so well-behaved while this took forever. Is there anything I can do to repay you?" I smiled and said "Jurassic Park". He then sighed and said: "Don't tell your mother."
This became my all-time favorite film as a kid. We actually went back to the movie theatre a week later, with my mom, who thoroughly enjoyed it herself! :)
That’s awesome, I was 6 when it came out and we saw it in the theater… I had the whole compound set of action figures. This movie will always be one of the greatest movies of all time
1987???
@@GAZ87YORKSHIRESALT What about 1987??? Lol 30 years ago was 1994… it’s 2024, not 2017.
I was 13 when this came out (prime dinosaur-loving age). I saw this eight times in the theater! And I loved it every time. Still do.
Aw, that's a lovely family memory
You are one of the BEST reactors on UA-cam. You are insightful, observant, empathetic, intelligent... you draw connections, you catch symbolisms, you allow yourself to be moved by what you're watching, and you expertly toe the line of providing interesting commentary without talking over the movie. And even though all of that would totally be enough, as the cherry on top, you are very beautiful which adds an element of visual beauty to all of the other elements of excellent content that you provide. I am so glad I found your channel! Thanks for sharing with us ❤️
Wow! Thank you so much. Posts like this really make my day 😊 THANK YOU!
I got chased by 6 wild turkeys in a best western parking lot in northern california. And yes, I ran.
Hahahahahahaa
I got attacked by geese at a park while feeding them when I was 6. Yes, I ran. Lol
I never had a bird attack me, but on three different occasions they've shit on my head. I swore.
@@BlunderMunchkin My sister had a cockatoo that would attack me. I can't say I'm a fan of birds
@@BlunderMunchkin When I was going out with a bird sometimes we had arguments but she never did that
48:23 "clever girl" one line shows how much he alone respected the dinosaurs. He knew he was dead, but was still somehow impressed with how they got him.
Yeah this line is so deep because of his emotions while saying it. He has hunted every dangerous animal on the planet before and it’s been easy to him. Now as a hunter he realize that he finally met his match. That’s why he smirks while saying “clever girl” is that he realized he finally got out hunted. It’s a sense of admiration and satisfaction in his final moments. It’s very deep and poignant. I think it’s a call to “the most dangerous game”.
@@JAlexanderCurtisyeah and then freaking kids outsmart them right after 😂😂
That’s the ONE scene I hated actually and one character who shouldn’t have been killed. You’d think he of all people would know not to chase raptors on his own.
In the book he apparently didn’t die and was one of the biggest heroes.
At least Roland in the next movie who mirrored him didn’t get killed off and was allowed to “beat” the Trex essentially, even though Owen sabotaged him and is also the real reason everyone died and should’ve had 100 counts of manslaughter after lol…
But yeah I’m team human always…Jurassic park became way too obsessed with exaggerating raptors. I mean a DOG knows how to open a door lol…so they had to make them absurdly intelligent later while dumbing down military style humans who NO DOUBT would easily massacre raptors and all other Dinos if this happened today…
But that’s another reason the first movie was best since it was purely an accident and oh crap scenario without lifelines available like the military that explains why it was so dangerous.
But later movies somehow made military trained groups like the stupidest least armed least trained people imagineable to somehow justify raptors slaughtering them lol
@@foxnfire6388 It seemed like there was a mix of things that made the first one seem so much better than later films, Hamond/Ingen in this were portrayed well, and the park seemed was both wonderous but still almost plausible setting.
The rest of first trilogy almost felt like were set nowhere, shifted from an almost fantasy setting in first film to rest of franchise being in dystopias, with most of the liable characters in first film at best in a cameo role in second, with a common problem in later films of having more unlikeable characters than likable ones. With the antagonist companies/groups feeling too stupid to exist.
Granted in the case of The Lost World, this was probably the first time I had read a novel before watching a feature film adaptation, so that did not exactly help.
Jurassic World may have gotten back to having a park that looked pristine, but felt like a dystopian take on Disney. With the writing of boss feeling like there were different teams making different parts, some wanting her to be a sympathetic lead, and others a total villain. I disliked it enough that was the last one I watched.
I completely agree! Although. Doesn't he live in the book? I think he does. If so, I think this is an example of an acceptable and successful change to a character translated from book to film. It made his role memorable and his presence and death are important to demonstrating the raptors' intelligence, which this franchise has always hailed as it's deadliest weapon. In short, I think he lives in the booked but his role in the film SERVES the film even though they chose to kill him off. I wish good screenwriting could make a comeback.
@@LaenayaSathe He really ought to have known how pack animals hunt though. How you think Alan Grant knew how raptors hunted? You can't tell that from their bones, he would have learned about how modern pack hunters hunt _from men like Muldoon._
This is the Jurassic park folks fell in love with...first of it's kind ....on the big screen....people were amazed...great reaction ..good work...
Had to be an amazing experience!
So happy how much the first reveal of the first dinosaur with the Jurassic Park theme finally being played affected you. I believe too many reactors just talk through that part and don't take it in. It is one of my favorite music cues in all of movie history and gives me goosebumps to this day. Just an iconic scene.

@@LiteWeightReactingyes, yes you do 🤨🤭
@@LiteWeightReacting it is excellent
Great movie! The book was far more darker,almost every characters have negative traits and most of them dies. Stephen Spilberg decided to change the original story and made a family friendly movie😆 The tecnique utilized for dinosaurs close shot it's called animatronics,basically an animated robot
Whenever my two little daughters start fighting with each other, my “go to” line is “Quiet! All of you……they’re entering the Tyrannosaur paddock.” And my kids are too young to have seen this, so they just think daddy is weird.
I’m stealing this for when I babysit my little cousins.
That is actually hilarious. Lol. Wish I had kids :(
I was 5 when my dad took me to this movie in the theater, he convinced me after that everyone who died were robots.
This is so epic lol
That is an excellent use of a JP quote! 🤩
I remember when ads for this first came out, all they showed was the amber with the mosquito and extracting it’s blood, and then the title “JURASSIC PARK” - and that’s it. So when we all saw it for the first time, and it all went wrong, it scared the crap out of the audience. NO ONE was prepared for it. I think you can find footage of audiences watching it for the first time being shocked and screaming. Pretty awesome. I think the last time before this movie something like that happened was in Psycho when Norman Bates kills Janet Leigh in the shower. No one expected that either.
Saw it in the theater, and I legit pulled my feet up into the seat when the raptor jumps up as Lex is dangling from the ceiling.
I remember adverts showing the two glasses of water vibrating with the thump sounds, plus the bit where the cars drive through the gate with the big sign over the top.
I was so young, only like 2 or 3 years old when I saw it in theater. I think I remember trailers being simplistic too but I was too young. Thank you for your insight on trailers before it came out, I don't hear people talk about that often. That is one hell of a marketing campaign if they kept it that simple! They knew what they had was legendary stuff that would spread like wildfire by word of mouth!
I remember being so small and my whole family wrenched our legs up when Lex was nearly grabbed by the raptor. I was riveted, my eyes must have been like saucers. And dinosaurs became my favorite thing for a long time after this film. I immediately went home and my sister and I played make believe as raptors and rexes tearing things up and roaring and all! 😂 Horror movie? No. I was cheering for the dinos back then!
@@kelvinhill9874 yeah you’re right about that; I forgot about that. Still very minimal.
The special effects in this movie hold up absurdly well. This thing is like 32 years old, and the T-Rex scene in particular still looks better than 95% of the fake-looking CGI stuff that comes out today.
Crazy how well they hold up!
Awhile back, Corridor Digital did an analysis of the digital effects for this flick and were largely complimentary. There's techniques (and tools) that have been developed to address details that couldn't be handled with the tech of the time. And there's some wonderful mixes of practical and digital effects going on. But all in all... yeah... its just a stellar piece of work.
@@LiteWeightReacting Of course, because you now know:"they spared no expense..." ;-)
Fun Fact: Dr Hammond (AKA: Richard Attenborough) is David Attenborough's brother
The seatbelt gag is frequently cited as a metaphor for life finding a way. Two female ends on the belts, yet he makes it work.
Oh! Thanks for pointing that out!
Won’t work in a real crash. And he screws-over the passenger beside him, who then had two male ends to deal with.
@@Ryan_Christopher *Ties two male ends.
@@nonconsensualopinion You must be incredibly skinny
@@LiteWeightReacting I’ve also seen it speculated to be foreshadowing of the technical problems and safety issues they’ll face through the park in the rest of the film - they’re not even at the park yet and they’ve faced their first potentially dangerous malfunction on a ride.
Funny that the smartass kid early in the movie describes the velociraptor as a "giant turkey." In real-life, they were actually about the size of a modern turkey.
When this came out I saw it 6 times in theaters as a kid, with different people almost every time. That's how epic it was. When CGI was new and blended beautifully with practical effects. Not completely depended on as it is now. I will never forget feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples...now that's chaos. One of the greatest cinematic experiences in history.
Had to be a mind blowing experience in the theater as a kid!
@@LiteWeightReacting Fun fact, the water ripples in the glasses were made by a guy hitting a single musical string right under the deck of the car... Spielberg wanted this way of showing the "ground shaking" effect of T-Rex's steps and they had tried a ton of ways without success but nothing worked until one of the special effects guys had the string idea and they went with that but Spielberg was hellbent on the water rippling effect and he wasn't backing down until they found the solution.
Another double fun fact which shows you why Steven Spielberg is the best director of all time... John Hammond said "By the end of the week I will be expecting your apologies" which is Steven Spielberg talking to Hollywood executives since they didn't believe in this movie AT ALL and he had to fight tooth and nail to get the money for it... and while he was filming Jurassic Park during weekdays, on the weekends he was filming "Schindler's List"... yes, the masterpiece that won a fuckton of awards was his "weekend project"... the man is in a league of his own...
That's why I always say "Spielberg is Spielberg and the rest are just the rest"... the only man to ever come close to him even though Spielberg is still superior is James Cameron in terms of creativity and visuals, nobody else but Cameron couldn't have made Schindler's List or Saving Private Ryan, so that's why Spielberg is just different...
@@LiteWeightReacting I recently watched it at my local theater, You'll have to keep your eye out but they do reshow these movies from time to time! The theater experience is second to none unless you have someone who's rich and has a home theater lol. The second movie is a lot more menacing than this, you'll love it! Movies these days are not as good because the different studios are micro-managing the directors and writers and even actors with committees that say we want this we want that, we dont want this. Older movies dont deserve remakes because of how good the originals were and because it's just a money grab operation and filled with propaganda/agendas. Love that you can see these differences! Can't wait for the next! I'm subbed!
Oh the ripples! Oh what it would be to go back in time and settle in to watch this for the first time again as a child. Those water ripples and sheer terror that slowly built up over the course of a couple minutes was excellent directing and special effects. What a debut for a modernly understood dinosaur, creatures people thought were plodding and slow and dumb!
"Wheres the goat? 😮" BOOM MOVIE MAGIC!
@@sportschool3537 Yeah a guitar string pretty neat. Sure as hell didn't feel like that in the theater
Im sure someone else has said it...but the reaction from the kids when the Trex attacks is real. The anamatronics had a history of malfunctioning in the studio "rain" and It wasn't supposed to break the glass like that. They were legitimatley screaming for their lives. The behind the scenes documentary talks about it. Super awesome stuff.
You have to imagine it's 1993, and you're seeing this in the theater, and you've never seen CGI that looked anything close to this real before. It was amazing.
I really can’t imagine! Had to be mind blowing!
Not to mention John Freaking Williams and the score. That man transports us to every possible location with his music. From the Olympics, to A Galaxy Far, Far away.
The CGI combined with that moving cello piece? Absolute perfection for it's time.
@@LiteWeightReacting I saw it in the cinema as a kid with my mother. It certainly left an impression. 😂😨 I read Crichton's books too. There are many pages where Crichton dives deep into Ian Malcolm's remarks about Chaos Theory. Fantastic reading, would recommend.
It was the first movie I saw at the cinema. Mum only took me coz it was about dinosaurs so she thought it would be like The Land Before Time but real life 😂
It was our honeymoon weekend. We saw it on opening day.
First time I saw this was in a theater in Seattle. We were visiting from Canada for the weekend. When we came out of the matinee showing the sky was dark from a spectacular thunderstorm. The whole situation was pretty terrifying. Thank you for sharing your reactions with us. 😊
Welcome to Jurassic Park.
So good!
Michael Crichtons writing + John Williams + Spielberg + a bunch of super cool actors + unbelievable special effects for the time being + fkn 🦖🦕
...they DO move in herds 🥲
@@LiteWeightReacting 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 learn about real dinos (including birds), 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). P.S. To answer your questions/concerns:
-11:40: The reason JP used frog DNA for dinos is similar to why we used frogs for pregnancy tests (Google "A Brief History of Injecting Frogs with Urine").
-37:00: That fall could've broken or killed Tim had Grant not caught him, so of course he was scared to jump.
@@LiteWeightReacting are you pregnant ?
The kid who played Tim later played John Deacon, bassist for Queen in Bohemian Rhapsody and also Eugene Sledge in the miniseries The Pacific.
To add to that, the real Eugene Sledge had a dog name Deacon.
My ABSOLUTE favourite film of all time! I've watched this at LEAST once a year since it was released and can still enjoy every single second of it! Then you John Williams' complete masterpiece of a score.. which is just otherworldly! 110/10
John Williams music is soooooo good!
The line about "they were so concerned if they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" is now true of AI.
Great reaction. Thanks.
Not just AI. They are now integrating fungus with AI because fungus makes the equivalent of a nervous system in the plant world so they torture the fungus with things it doesn't like (ie:light) and the fungus will send distress signals through its nervous system and those signals make the robots move in response. They're gonna FA and end up making fungus sentient and we're gonna end up with Skynet becoming The Last of Us
AI is not a concern for normal people
@@Evan-k I doubt that.
I can't put into words how it felt to see the scene where they first see the dinosaurs in theaters as a kid. It might sound absolutely stupid and cliché, but it was magical.
Same, i was one of those kids with the mail subscription that gave you a new dinasaur card and info pamphlet each month (and stickers). This came out and me and my sister lost our minds (parents too). Just amazing back then in theaters. It was indeed magical.
My 11th bday, was absolutely stunning 🙏
Not stupid and cliches exist for a reason! It really was magic. I think what brings us joy in life is Wonder. And wonder can be hard to induce in people, esp these days with so many of us jaded by the internet and constant incoming information, including horrifying or happy news.
This movie did that and is still doing that. Masterpiece.
That was a fun reaction LW! And I remember going to the Drive-In Theater with my GF, in 1993, to see this remarkable film. Watching you view J.P. for the first time, we shared some of the same excitement and anticipation as you did during the movie. That's why I enjoy watching reaction channels because you bring back so many memories of seeing these classic flicks for the first time! And yes, I would suggest J.P. 2 & 3. Especially #3, that is my 2nd favorite of the Trilogy. Thanks for your reaction and we'll see you soon! 🎥🍿🦖
This film was like magic when it first came out. Others in the comments have already elaborated on how groundbreaking the effects were for film in general, but it was truly an unforgettable experience for me as a teenager. So many memorable lines: "hold on to your butts", "clever girl", "they remember", "ah-ah-ahh you didn't say the magic word", "he left us he left us", "life uh finds a way"...I could go on.
This was one of those films I couldn't wait to show my children so that they could share in the magic, but I always got the impression they weren't impacted the same way. And that's probably in part (or whole) due to the ubiquity of CGI in the 21st century. Jurassic Park used CGI with finesse to make the unbelievable real.
And the score? Chef's kiss, John Williams is the master of film music.

Who Spielberg convinced to come out of retirement for this film.
And David also has a connection with dinosaur media - he's the narrator in the amazing "Prehistoric Planet" docu series. It's the most realistic and scientifically accurate representation of dinosaurs on screen to date, highly recommended.
Hi from the Netherlands. I think it is so nice to see that there are now people (younger people) who are watching this film for the first time. A film that is already 31 years old and how well it continues to do even in this day and age. If you consider that this film was so far ahead of its time in technology and filmmaking and was the founder of a new era of filmmaking. Considering that there is only 20% CGI in this film and the rest is all robot dinosaurs. When I went to see this film I was in the cinema for 11 years and what an experience that was and this is still one of my favorite films with a few other films around that time. I also saw this film again in 4k full HD on an IMAX screen in the cinema. Very cool. I also liked Jurraric world and what you just said 1 is the best. but they can't match this one still. It's nice that there is also a documentary about the making of this film.
I worked at a movie theater when this was released, we loved sitting in the back, watching sold out show after sold out show, as audiences gasped in wonder, at the Brontosaurus scene! now doing it online! lol wow
Brachiosaurus actually. And I don’t know why but they renamed Brontosaurus into Apatosaurus.
I went to the 25th anniversary showing with a friend, and I legit cried, there's so much magic. Everything I love about this movie was so grandiose beyond reckoning on the big screen, which I'd previously seen on everything from our normal 27 inch (90s-00s) to portable DVD player on road trips to laptop, on and on. I really thought I'd seen the movie by that point, but it was such a different experience that I highly recommend going to a showing. Also I sent my dad a gif of the "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" moment on his birthday with the message-I found rare footage from your childhood!
In the novel, Dr Sattler eventually figures out that the herbivorous dinos WERE being poisoned by the West Indian lilac, because they use gizzard stones to grind their food (as birds do), and when they vomited up the old stones and swallowed new sharp ones every 6 weeks or so, they were also inadvertently swallowing lilac berries. If they did shoot that resolution for the film version, they apparently cut it out for runtime.
They really did a lot of little things like that. Hell, in the novel Dennis never managed to turn off the Key Checks so they were able to see everything he did to the system and how. If I remember correctly, it was one of the few things he didn't have high enough clearance to interfere with.
@@OrcDragon65 If i remeber correclty he wasn't even aware that was set in place, as it was not his team who does it.
Shame bc that’s the only paleobotanist thing she gets to do in the whole movie.
@@logann7942 The film (the theatrical version) doesn't even show how she got that Veriforma leaf. In an augmented version shown on TV, she grabs the leaf from a plant while the Jeep passes by it.
the film lacks a lot of things the book did . the film also screwed around so many cahracters. in the book ellie sattler was a 23 yo student , not grant's love interest. nor was she big into the "roar, i'm female " kinda feminism she seems to be in the movie. i mena hell 1/4th of her dialouge in the movie is her saying some stupid feminist BS or the scene where she argues with hammond about being a girl . hammond was the greedy bastard , not the lawyer nor was the lawyer a coward that ran off and left the kids (that was the park's head of public realtions that did that). Grant loved kids in the book and was in his 50's. hammond on the other hand didn't want any thing to do with his grandkids , and only reluctantly took them in for the week end at the request of thier mom.
actually the more and more i think about it the more and more i disliked this movie over the years (i read the book a good year or two before the movie came out)
a lot of spielbergs changes were just trash cahnges meant to add some kind of drama to it , when the story itself had enough drama and it only made 2/3rds of teh cast unlikeable while making some of the worse characters of the novel redeemable (such as hammond who was a utter peice of human garbage in the book).
Great watch! I love the first time reactions. Reminds me of my first time watching. You really won't go wrong watching the next two. They clearly don't hit like the OG but you will enjoy the Animals and their characteristics after all. If you let it, It will at least be entertaining. And then we get to see them again also!!!😊 Hope to see you soon.Thanks again...
Jurassic park is one of the most important movies for hollywood movies animation progress through the years
Such a classic film!...new ones can't even compare in my opinion. Glad you gave yourself the opportunity to dive in to these films, epic!
King Kong (2005) is another great adventure/creature movie, with both great action scenes and good drama!
Yes! Andy Serkis dominates the acting genre of motion capture, as Peter Jackson's Gollum (LOTR and The Hobbit) and King Kong, and as Cesar (new Planet of the Apes movies)
CGI is pretty bad in that one.
@@michaeljordan6008 It has some of the best cgi ever made even to this day...
@@dankeefer8859 just don’t watch Godzilla 1998, I use to like that movie. But listening and pondering over other people’s opinions, I’m starting to agree with them… it was just a poorly made sci-fi monster movie
@dankeefer8859 I disagree with that.
The cgi is serviceable but it wasn't anything ground breaking or something particularly amazing.
King Kong 1933 was far more revolutionary and amazing
Great reaction! Normally I would say the first one is the best to start with, and going back to the beginning after watching 3 sequels with all their modern visual effects is going to be hard to do, but you treated it perfectly and suspended your disbelief. This first one really was the best. A true cinematic masterpiece and a classic. I was lucky enough to have watched in theaters when it came out, and then introduced my totally reluctant and skeptical aunt to it just last year (in 3D!) when they brought it back to theaters for 1 day. She absolutely LOVED it. So glad you did too.
This movie had me on the edge of my seat when I went to see it on opening day. Awesome reaction!!! 💕💕🙏
8:50 "Why'd that make me emotional!"
Great reaction, and that's why this movie is so loved. The build up, setting up how important that moment would be for these two characters especially, perfect acting, great visuals and the amazing score. Super rare to see all that come together in a movie.
“Life finds a way.”
I enjoyed watching this from my childhood and still do!
Such an awesome quote!
You are DEFINITELY an awesome reactor. It's like I'm watching it for the first time. I'm glad you enjoyed this movie. That T-Rex scene, to this day, is still one of my favorite suspenseful shots in the visual effects world. 🙂
This is the only movie that gives me true nostalgia.
Remembering sitting in the kitchen as a young boy with my mother watching this late at night in the mid 90s..
No other movie does that to me.
And I will always come back to it now and then to remember a time where everything in life was beautiful and simple.
Great react. Happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you!!!!
8:38 I love the fact that you got emotional on this scene. Imagine a 10 years old kid watching a live dinosaur for the very first time in history. After that, my mom use to buy me colectable dinosaur magazines and i even got my own T-Rex assembly. This movie is a mayor part of many people's childhood. Your reaction to it was just great. Tanks for sharing it!
Maybe the fastest I've clicked on a video. "No views 23 seconds ago". My absolute favorite reacter. I'm excited to rewatch this with you now, what a nostalgic lane we're gonna go down together.
Amazing!! Happy to have you here and I hope you enjoyed it!!
I continue to be amazed by your ability to take these fantastic films and break them down into relatable points of shared experience or common sense and still make it fun and funny and emotional. Thanks again!
In case no one else has already explained, the significance of the way Grant ties his seatbelt in the helicopter is this: he only has 2 ‘female’ ends of the seatbelts, but he still “finds a way” to fasten his seatbelt. It’s foreshadowing the all female dinosaurs finding a way to reproduce.
Looking a bit too into it but ok
No.
@@clarkness77 If you've ever done film analysis, looking a bit too into it is kinda the point. I always interpreted it as foreshadowing the park being poorly designed.
@@clarkness77I don't think so bc otherwise what was the point of that scene?
This is a classic thing certain types of people do that i very much dislike. You've added that "foreshadowing" to add a reasoning that was never there. It was a mildly comedic moment showing his character. That's it. DO NOT make things up to try and add some ridiculous depth to every moment.
God i love the incredibly subtle forshadowing in the helicopter. I didnt even understand it as a kid.
Spielberg's talent for visually telling stories is unique. John Ford, Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Orson Welles...and him. One of the greatest directors in the history of cinema.
I would add James Cameron as well
@@davidward9737 And don't forget to add Ridley Scott into the mix as well. Those people redefined cinema in my opinion.
I was 11 when this came out. My mom took me and my best friend to the theater to watch it. We rode in the back of the pickup truck, because f safety standards back then.
My mom sat near the back of the theater and my friend and I sat near the front. Remember, no stadium seating yet so the front rows were premium.
In the scene where the T-Rex is attacking the kids, my mom, out of nowhere, grabbed my shoulder and said she had to leave because it was too much for her.
I’ve never jumped so much in my life as when she grabbed my shoulder.
One of the great memories of my life. And to this day, it’s still in the top 5 of greatest movies I’ve ever seen. Almost perfect on every level.
The only flaw I can find is the silly whistle sound when Dennis slips on the rocks.
I remember watching Jurassic Park in theaters in the summer of 1993 😮 all of us experiencing the musical score and amazing realistic dinosaurs larger than life on the movie screen. It was magical being there for the birth of a classic film 😊
Your,,,,"first time ",,,,was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing it with us. 💥💥💥👍🤪
Superb reaction as always. One of the best reaction channels on UA-cam as the reactions are always articulate and intelligent yet also fun. Keep up the great work.
Makes me sooooo happy to see this! Thanks for sharing!
'clever girl' to quote your outro. Thanks for the reply
I saw this in 3D when it was re-released in theaters a bunch of years ago. I have seen this movie so many times, but seeing it on the big screen in 3D was absolutely terrifying. Amazing movie!
Fun fact: the T-Rex in the movie is the T-Rex in Jurrasic world.
Really?!
@@LiteWeightReacting yes, the T-Rex in Jurrasic world is supposed to the same one from Jurassic park.
By the time dominion happens, rexy would/should be about 35yrs old.
Nedry mentioned 10yrs of research to dodgson. Assuming the dinos were being born around 5yrs in, which would also explain rexy and dilos curiosity more than aggression at first, cuz they were still young.
Just my theory.
@@LiteWeightReactingYep especially that you could see the scars on her face from her battle with the velociraptors. Plus her roaring is a bit different because Jurassic World takes place 20 years after Jurassic Park so you could tell that she’s much older which is why her roaring sounded different.
@@SmokeDogg27look closely in jurassic world at the end you can actually see the battle scars of the trex that was also used in Jurassic Park.
That high-pitched excited squeek Newman makes might be my favorite movie moment ever 😂
It sounds like a velocipaptor!
Still trips me out to realize Tim (Joseph Mazzello) grew up to be Eugene Sledge in The Pacific.
And John Deacon in _Bohemian Rhapsody_
His performance in The Pacific is stunning.
@@daddynitro199 yes it is!
I'll never forget this movie. I lived in Bozeman Montana at the time it came out and had dinner plans and a date to go to the movie. However, I was working on a film in Butte Montana during the day, and on the way home I blew a tire on my truck. This was 1993, so long before cellphones, so I had to wait a long time for someone to come along on the road to help me get my tire to a gas station. Needless to say I missed dinner, but the girl and I still managed to make the movie which was incredible at the time!
Oh nah now I'm super jealous that you get to watch this one for the first time, this is one of my favorite movies of all time 🤘🔥 🦖
That’s awesome! Hope you enjoyed my reaction 😊
@@LiteWeightReacting oh I definitely did 😊🙌
Another fantastic choice for a reaction, I'm excited to watch!
Also I don't see anything, at least until you said something so we'll just pretend you didn't😂😉
🤣🤣
One of the best theater experiences I’ve ever experienced. I saw this on opening weekend with my little brother and parents. We were all blown away. There were literal gasps when they stop to look at the dinosaurs in the valley when they first arrive. This movie is solely responsible for the use of CGI in mainstream cinema. Still holds up beautifully today! 😊
The music of this series is beyond legendary and I’ll never get tired of hearing it! ❤❤❤🎼🎼🎼
So legendary!!
Gives me chills (in a good way) every time. Probably not alone on that one
27:03 him slipping and falling down that watery hill was funny too 😂
I love when he says I have no food not realizing he IS the food lol
Yeah, whenever I watch the movie in private, I always like to comment, as if I am the dilophosaurus : "You're kidding me ! You have about 200 pounds of meat on you !"
I watched a video short a while ago where a guy tried to feed a bear by hand, and the bear grabbed his whole hand. (He was able to escape, thanks to friends)
People forget that they're food. 😂
Girl I cry every time they see the dinosaurs for the first time. They just do such a great job showing how amazed they are by seeing them. And I love how emotional they are as well!
Honestly, didn't notice the horn until you mentioned it.
Refering back to this movie a common statement around my gaming table is that T-Rex cannot see you unless you move. We are uncertain to whether the statement refers just to the creature or the English Rock Band as well.
So I did it to myself 🤣
@@LiteWeightReactingLife finds a way. 🤣

Same here. i didn't notice anything until you pointed it out, and you can still barely see it even after you pointed it out
I really enjoyed watching this with you! You are fun!
Speaking for myself, I got just as teary-eyed when the theme kicks in when they first see the Brachiosaurs out in the field the first time I watched it. Honestly I still get a little teary-eyed at that moment.
I watched this movie on VHS every day after school for about three months straight as a kid. It was my first movie obsession.
Grew up on this film, Miss movies like these growing up!
Soooo good!
The seatbelt scene in the beginning, to the best of my knowledge was just meant to be funny. It wasn't until later that people realized that it foreshadowed what was to come. He was using two female buckles, and found a way to make it work.
I was todays years old when I found out! :O
I think people are reaching a bit far on this one
@@joeberger3441 Maybe in the fact that they probably didn't mean it that way.... but it still works
You're absolutely correct. It wasn't intended to serve as foreshadowing when shot. It was just meant to highlight Alan's ineptitude and things not working around him - like the monitor earlier in the film that zaps out whenever he touches it.
@joeberger3441 It's two female buckles being combined... It's an extremely straightforward analogy for "life finding a way". Intentionally shot that way or not, and I find it hard to believe it was entirely a coincidence, it's absolutely not "reaching" to make that association.
I adore this movie, so so much. Everything about it - the soundtrack, the action, the discussion into ethics, the characters, the cinematography. It's absolutely magical. I still - after dozens of watches - get emotional, like you did, when they first arrive to the island.
I saw the movie with a live orchestra playing the soundtrack last year, and it's one of the greatest things ive ever experienced. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Behind the scenes, this setup CGI techniques to be used for decades. But also, most of the dinos up close are animatronic and still look fantastic. The t tex got so heavy as it soaked up ALL the rain.
I was 10 years old when I went with my mom and dad to watch this in theaters back in 1993. We went back and watched it a second time. Hands down the best theater experience of my life!!
Seeing this in theaters when it came out was a surreal experience. Up to this point most of the dinosaurs on-screen that we had seen were stop-motion/claymation. If you examine the time-period, Carnosaur and Tammy and the T-Rex were the only other dinosaurs movies that released around this time and they were more reflective of the dinosaurs we had seen in film. Spielberg completely blew everyone away with this. I only wish you could hop in a time machine and feel the absolute wonder that seeing this in 1993 brought with it. Have a great day!
When you said that you loved all the “different iterations of the theme song,” I smiled with amusement at your unusual choice of words, because it inadvertently tied into the structure of the original novel as the body of Crichton’s Jurassic Park is divided into Iterations 1 through 5. Great reaction as always!
Spielberg had a amazing year in 1993 .
He crushed!!
I was in 3rd grade when this came out and it BLEW my mind. Was too young to see it in theaters so I ended up watching it sitting on the stairs hiding in the dark when I should have been in bed while my dad and brothers watched it on VHS.
The SFX in this were a turning point in cinema history. Pre-production started with clay, stop motion dinosaurs and halfway through they realized CGI was viable enough now and pivoted. Thus when it hit theaters people had LITERALLY never seen anything like it before.
This was adapted from the Michael Crichton novel of the same name. After watching the next two, I recommend doing a rewatch of the Jurassic World trilogy, but I also recommend watching the short film and both Netflix animated shows. Steven Spielberg directed Schindler's List while this was being finished. The actor playing Tim also has a starring role in the HBO drama series The Pacific, while the actress playing his sister is also in Tremors and Tremors 3
I love your laugh so much! Best laugh ever! JP was groundbreaking for sure... I was fortunate to be working in the same commercial complex as one of our local theaters, so I saw this movie in theaters every day from release until they pulled it
I’m surprised you never saw jurassic park before glad you catching up.
I remember watching this movie for the first time in the theater with my sister when it was first released. It was my last time going out to do something with her before I left for Air Force basic training. My mouth hit the floor along with everyone else watching when we first saw those giant dinosaurs. It was so realistic and well done, especially for the era this film was made.
Just remember it wouldn't be a thriller without the tension and the stress. Lol
Great point!!
First reactor I've seen catch the "objects in mirror" gag - nicely done!
Wassup Liteweight how are you today always enjoy your reactions keep up the amazing work my friend 😊😊😊
I’m doing great! How are you?!
@@LiteWeightReacting I'm good
Your personality your cuteness the things you say make me laugh the innocence and beauty shones through ❤❤❤
The first appearance of the T-Rex is one of the scenes that scared me the most as a kid.
Some people cheered in the audience when the lawyer died.
How nice.
I knew you would like it, I wish you could have seen it in the theater. It got you again and again with the startling and tense moments, and watching it while you did, all the moments still move you.
The Lost World is definitely worth watching. 3 is kinda take it or leave it. Some people really like it. I'd still say 3 is better than any of the 3 newer ones.
ALAN
@@maelstrom57 🤣🤣🤣🤣
3 is better then 2 and I stand by it
3 is my favorite among the original trilogy
I saw this at the cinema when I was 9 years old, one of my fondest memories in film. My family and I went to Universal Studios in Orlando a year or so later, and I remember they still had all of the props on display.
Literally the only one I have notifications active for
That makes me so happy 😁
@@LiteWeightReacting ❤️
Fantastic reaction! You have great instincts. Keep em going you are great!
If you ever play the Jurassic Evolution park Sim games, and get up to the T-rex, you can feed them goats, and zoom in to watch the kill animations. Sometimes they will literally toss the goats into the air and gulp them down in one bite. My kid loves watching them do that.
this is one of the best reactions ive seen for Jurassic Park haha
I always assumed that the child actors in this used their salaries to pay for the ongoing therapy needed for the rest of their lives...
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, it is an epic movie. Still gives me goosebumps. Was very cool and funny to watch it with you, especially when you were trying to name that dino... Dip dip something...🤭
This film definitely holds up and I think actually better than many newer films only one with greater effects to me is ALITA BAYTLE ANGEL
*BAETLE ANGEL
I saw this film when I was 5 years old in a drive-in movie theater back in 1993 and it’s a core memory I have always cherished. It’s such a special film.
The original Michael Crichton book this film was based on was incredible. As you might expect there were quite a few differences in the film; Donald Gennaro was a much more badass and heroic character who survived to the end, his film counterpart was mashed together with a different character called Ed Regis, the coward that abandoned the kids and was later killed by the juvenile T-Rex (there were two in the book); Alan Grant had a bushy beard; the kids' roles were reversed in the film (book Tim was the older computer expert, book Lex was the younger, more obnoxious one); John Hammond was much less sympathetic and more of a ruthless villain, and died at the end after injuring his leg and being attacked by a swarm of procompsognathus (smaller, dog-sized dinos); Lewis Dodgson (the rival corpo who serves as Nedry's liaison) was also a more active villain who returned as the main antagonist of the Lost World book, but he didn't appear in the films again until Jurassic World Dominion in 2022.
What really made the book a pleasure to read was how Crichton made his passion for the scientific themes evident in how he presented and explain everything; he had a degree in medical science and was also an early proponent of programming and computers, but most of his professional life was spent writing. The way those scientific concepts are illustrated (textually and literally) in the book is really entertaining and engaging. Other movies based on Crichton's works include the sequel The Lost World, The Andromeda Strain and Congo. One thing I find quite funny about the book is how in the end, it's implied that the raptors have escaped into the wild and despite being coded to have a lysine deficiency, they are surviving by eating lysine-rich foods such as chicken, which reminds me of the apocalypse event in Vampire the Masquerade... "and the antediluvians shall awaken once again and devour their children".
I never read the book, it’s not surprising that the movie is very different from the book. Doesn’t Hammond die in the book, as well as Malcolm? And doesn’t the lawyer live?
