"Without John Williams, bikes don't really fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches, nor do men in red capes. There is no Force. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. We do not wonder, we do not weep, we do not believe." - Steven Spielberg.
This movie is timeless and so is the soundtrack...
He is a legend
He can capture a moment like no one else.
Maybe never been more true? Movies weren't ready to do what JP wanted to yet. But this one got damn close
The T-Rex scene looks by far the most realistic because it’s night time and the rain plus splicing in actual practical effects really sells it. It’s extremely difficult to do perfect CGI in very bright settings where you can see every imperfection
This movie gave me love for BTS and making ofs. I watched so many making ofs since I've seen the one for this movie, it's amazing. This movie still holds up today
It's insane how well this film still holds up today.
No...
@@Blutteufel yes. It looks amazing
@@Blutteufel get some eyes
It absolutely does.
yeah, not bad for early 90s cg, like J said it looks better than some stuff made today
The big "reveal" is something of movie magic. Music, acting, the scene .... I get Dr Grant and his reaction. His life's work there in front of him .. magic
For me, it’s the single greatest (and most important) scene in cinema history.
That’s the exact moment in film when literally ANYTHING truly became possible.
For me, Sam Neill fumbling/removing his sunglasses and awe struck expression is still the highest bar set for looking at absolutely nothing.
Never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Imagine devoting your life to studying just shadows and leftovers of an era long gone and then seeing it come to life. The music takes the majesty of the moment to 100.
There is a lot of Magick in the film and especially that scene which was something very new and spectacular in '93 as mentioned. You also have the cinematography and scale to add to that.
As mentioned here, this movie and even the reactions to it, never fails to bring a tear of joy and happiness, as well as awesomeness when watching.
@@EOMReacts You are right. Jurassic Park is a horror film in disguise.
That shot of the Raptor at 1:02:39 showing his face reflecting the computer screen with a sequence of nucleotide base pairs (the letters that represent the molecules that hold up a DNA strand) is pure genius. This is an epic movie.
So cool
Absolutely rad! I think my favorite shot of the whole movie is where the T-REX is shown in the sideview mirror of the Jeep, chasing them because I remember back in the day every side mirror on every car had the words "objects in mirror are closer than they appear". 😂
@@veggiesarefruitsIt’s all about the details!
A reaction 30 years in the making 😅

I read that in the movie trailer voice haha

'So, we just got finished watching a horror movie disguise as a kids movie.' LOL
J: "And y'all watched this as kids?!"
We did. We didn't say we weren't scared shitless. J. It's absolutely a sci-fi horror movie. 🤣
Thanks, Blank. This is one of the amazing ones. ♥
🤣🤣🤣 I got called a bunch of things thru the comments for saying this was a horror movie for kids
@@J_EOMReacts It still scares the shit out of me and I've seen it a million times. I think it's the premise of being eaten alive. 🤣
My older brothers had this on repeat growing up. Never scared me since it was constantly on. I have no memory of the first time watching this. It's my oldest movie memory. That being said.. I had no idea how truly scary it was until I watched a couple reactions to it! It's amazing!! haha
@@rrebecaa I mean I can't do most horror movies. PTSD issues. My limit tends to be sci-horror like the original Pitch Black, Jurassic Park, or Alien. So I appreciate not everyone's going to be scared watching the same things. But it's always validating when reactors are scared at my same level. XD
This was the perfect amount of scary for me as a kid.
I always love how people are surprised at how awesome the dinosaurs look for 1993--that they look better than most things nowadays. Now imagine what this was like in 1993, when there was nothing of the same caliber to compare it to! The t-rex scene is absolutely a masterpiece. Meanwhile, your reaction to the triceratops' poop scene did not disappoint! "Have ya'll seen the Lion King?" No, they haven't. It came out a year later. ^_^
I don't care what kind of screen you watch this on nowadays or what kind of sound system you have, NOTHING can replicate watching this movie in theaters when it first came out. No movie before this was anything like it and it still holds up better than anything made since. It is and will always be legendary.
Saw this in theatre and as said, the sound and the huge screen, that is so hard to replicate on a small screen. It doesn't have that same effect but that said, it still is incredible regardless of the size of screen or sound system.
On release the speakers would shake the theater. I saw it again some years ago during a theatrical rerelease, but somehow the sound was quieter with a more advanced sound system. It was a little disappointing. And this wasn’t childhood nostalgia making things seem different than they originally were. I’m 58, and I was an adult when this came out the first time.
This movie came out when I was 3. I watched it so many times in VHS and tv growing up. It's incredible and has always had a place in my heart.
During the covid lockdown, all the summer movies were postponed and pushed back, so our local theatre started showing old classics all summer long. I cannot put into words how, in spite of how many times I'd watched this movie growing up, there is nothing that can compare to seeing this on the big screen. Completely unforgettable.
Pair it with the Islands of Adventure Jurassic Park water ride, and you can see what a big impact it had across the entire world.
In fact, all theaters that agreed to present this in their theater had to install brand new audio systems in order to play the film.
"This is 93?!"
You get it! This movie is a masterpiece! 😊
The whole part the T-rex in the rain still holds up. One of the best FX-shots in the movie. Lighting, editing, and blocking can do wonders
When it roars and looks at grant holding the flare, my soul shutters.
Rexy is the gold standard of FX. Nobody ever had such unequaled quality for their time, not Wizard of Oz, not Star Wars, nothing.
Okay, maybe we can talk about the Wizard of Oz... But still.
It just proves that practical effects are king when it comes to realism and that CGI should only ever be used to compliment it and be used where practical effects aren't possible.
@@Enigmatic..
How Dare You Say That Dont Be So Raven Homophobic 🤬😡😠 Transphobic 🤬😡😠 Xenophobic 🤬😡😠 Racist 🤬😡😠 Sexist 🤬😡😠
One reason it was done at night was to hide how bad the CG model actually was in daytime lighting. It's easier to make wet skin look realistic.
“50-60 mph if that get out in the open”
“Yeah fuck that” haha that was gold
Blank, I can feel the love in the edit. Every single classic beat is given room. Thanks both of y'all for this one.
❤️
@@EOMReacts best editor in the reaction game, without a doubt 👏
30 years have been since this movie, and it's still BEAUTIFUL ❤️
"Welcome... to Jurassic Park."
Fun Fact: The franchise generated much interest in dinosaurs that the study of paleontology saw a record increase in students.
Lost In Adaptation Fact: The Mr. DNA (Greg Burson) cartoon was Steven Spielberg's way of condensing much of the novel's exposition into a few minutes.
Practical Over CGI Fact: What made this movie the groundbreaking flick that we know today, was the use of Practical Effects with CGI mixed in. If this movie was made today, CGI would have been used for everything and it wouldn't have looked good.
Self Insert Fact: Michael Crichton said that his views on science and genetic engineering are largely expressed by Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). Steven Spielberg saw many parallels to himself in the character of John Hammond (Richard Attenborough). Fittingly, Spielberg cast a fellow filmmaker in the role, who begins his tour of the park by showing a movie in which he also acts. While Malcolm is dressed entirely in black, Hammond wears all white.
Not The Virus Fact: The guests' encounter with the sick Triceratops ends without any clear explanation as to why the animal is sick. Michael Crichton's original novel and the screenplay, however, include an explanation: the Stegosaurus/Triceratops lacked suitable teeth for grinding food, and so, like birds, would swallow rocks and use them as gizzard stones. In the digestive tract, these rocks would grind the food to aid in digestion. After six weeks, the rocks would become too smooth to be useful, and the animal would regurgitate them. When finding and eating new rocks to use, the animal would also swallow West Indian Lilac berries. The fact that the berries and stones are regurgitated explains why traces of them are not found in the animal's excrement.
I really enjoy every fun fact comment of yours, that's dedication! 😁
Tchikedy ...The first fact is the "Fun" fact.
However I am glad that you are getting enjoyment from my comments. You're welcome.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
@@BigGator5 Oh, right! Then let's say, "different topics worth knowing facts" 😊
Tchikedy ...It is all good! I'll see you at the premiere tonight!
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Don't forget that the creator of the THX sound well his son helped create DTS DIGITAL SURROUND SOUND and just like his papa they both work for ILM and their names are the initials are the names of the sound quality they both made!🤔😉 THX & DTS are father and son!
For '93 the cgi was BEYOND amazing! We'd never seen anything like it.
It looked so real and the fact it still holds pretty well today is proof of that.
Most of it was real. Only about 30% was CGI. THE T-Rex was completely practical and was controlled by like 20 puppeteers at once! The Triceratops was real too. There's a pic of Spielberg posing on top of it. Crazy good! 😊
The perfect blend of practical and CGI,, it's the reason why it holds up today CGI was only used where needed
Half of the dinosaurs visual were artistically rendered as well as practical effects. My neighbor growing up was one of the artists who worked on the dinosaurs designs and the background fills
Only 6 minutes of CGI dinosaurs in the OG movie . The rest was Sam Winston's animatronic genius!
@@carriesmith742 and this is why I prefer the older movies. CGI was used when absolutely necessary and the rest was practical effects....it makes for a much more immersive and believable viewing experience. I know it was bred out of necessity because CGI was so difficult and expensive, but, damn, if the balance wasn't just right.
"You watched this as kids?!" It was legit my favorite movie when I was in kindergarten 😅 It still is my favorite movie. It holds up so well.
I agree, same age as you. I was in 1st grade and we bought the game on sega, toys anything we could find JP. We had this one figurine that a chunk of the Dino skin came off exposing their bones. I miss these days.
Spent many a year on the playground being a raptor with the other kids :D
Same. My dad showed me when I was 6, and they had to limit how often I'd watch it, otherwise I'd have watch it for hours every day after school 😂😂
I was a religious devotee of this film before I could even speak properly
Yer damn right!! I watched this when I was a kid, and even though it terrified me I still loved the HELL out of it! I thought the dinosaurs were REAL!!!😂😂
"We just got done watching a horror movie disguised as a kids movie" this has to be the greatest line I ever heard!😂😂😂😂😂
The granddaughter is an accomplished artist now. She makes absolutely stunning paintings.
"...if you can make a dinosaur, I'm sure you got a pretty good organization system..." OMG LOL Thanks for the fun Blank and J!! Keep them coming! 🥰
Poor Romulus hiding under the blanket at the beginning lol!
He like "nope, not my movie!"
This and Terminator 2 completely changed the game for CGI movie effects. I was 15 when this hit theaters and I'll never forget seeing it the first time. ❤
I swear, this movie was my generation’s “Jaws”. I was 12 when this came out and I still remember how crazy this movie was when we saw it the first time at a theater. It was intense.
Except rather than cause everyone to be terrified of dinosaurs, the movie increased interest in paleontology by leaps and bounds. Same director though.
“After Little Foot’s mom” LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂. That movie stuck with me.
This is a fantastic movie. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen it, but the first time that huge dino appears on the screen, I have the same emotional reaction that I had the very first time I saw it. I am so looking forward to seeing it again the first time through your eyes :) The cat probably won't join me today - dinosaurs scare her ;)
Same. I don't know how many times I've seen it. Still watch the Brachiosaur scene on YT and cannot watch it without tearing up. Every time. LoL
I've been waiting 14 months for this. I'll never be so pumped to edit anything J does as I was for this.
Agreed. Objectively one of the greatest films of all time (but also my personal favourite too 😏)
"Timmy's an Avenger!" 😂 Lexi is a badass too, for figuring out that computer system. I saw this movie in theaters when it was first released in '93. I was 23 and trust, men, women, children - all of us were in the theater screaming and jumping out of our skins. I agree, this movie was a game-changer. Great reaction, brother!
In book, Timmy was pc genius
@@stevenulch2764 they tried to spread the competence between the kids so neither was as annoying as toddler Lexi from the book
I remember the trailer had the one-liner "Hold onto your butts" that got me into the theatres. I remember walking in thinking the TRex was the greatest dinosaur then after the movie, the Velociraptor was king! I love Hammond saying he "spared no expense" except when it came to security, personnel and hurricane proofing. Excellent reaction and editing, it's such an excellent film. God bless you guys with excellence!!
I was so surprised you hadn’t seen this. When we first saw it in the theater, a smattering of “Hellooooo, Newman” rippled through the audience!
Even after all this time, the special effects still hold up really well. Glad you enjoyed it now instead of having been traumatized as a kid! 😁
12:23 It was at this moment that the twenty one year old young man that was me became the six year old boy who was obsessed with dinosaurs all over again. Even now, that musical cue still brings me to tears. Chills.
I was 5 years old when I first saw this movie in the theater. I was obsessed with dinosaurs, and this movie as a kid. I had all the toys, and the video game for Nintendo.
I love the whole franchise, but this is still the best one.
I can proudly say, I saw all 6 in theaters, PLUS the 3D re-release of this movie
Nah hell nah, it’s all downhill from here
@Inigo Rodriguez No it isn't. Its dinosaurs v people, which is always entertaining 😀
@@inigorodriguez8299 Except it's not
One of the reasons the dinosaurs in this movie look so realistic is that most of them are animatronic skeletons with latex skin and controlled by puppeteers. there was also CGI used in the film but it was very limited where and how they used it.
Spielberg and Williams at their finest. The music throughout is incredible and the brachiosaurus reveal is the what movie and wonder are all about!
I went to a concert - movie thing once, where there was an orchestra playing the music while the movie played in the background. It was amazing
The CGI still holds up, but at the time it came out, it was stunning how realistic it was.
In just the right spot where the CGI and practical blends, that’s where the magic is.
Better than MOST....IF NOT ALL
CGI ....TODAY!
it's either ABUSE or OVERUSE.
I heard someone say that CGI TODAY is like a "fireworks show"
I thought: PERFECT WAY TO PUT IT! Ridiculous, over the top, EXAGGERATED SPECIAL EFFECTS that might be fun at the movies but doesn't make you want to watch it AGAIN.
Not me at least.
Jurassic WORLD for example.
Only saw the first movie at the movies. Didn't feel like watching it again. And haven't bothered to see the next 2 films. Because I thought the CGI was "OVER THE TOP" ,
The "texture " / "lighting " , making the dinosaurs look almost like "holograms " in my eyes
And......EXAGGERATED MOVEMENTS for animals of their size! (Indominus Rex, dinosaur duel, the mosasaurus.....) 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Moving like they don't weigh an OZ.
Unlike the original trilogy, I've seen them THOUSANDS OF TIMES....LITERALLY! And never get bored.
Thanks to PRACTICAL EFFECTS....and CGI done RIGHT.
Kept it simple , no exaggerated movements , the dinosaurs looked VERY REAL.
Stop yelling.
I saw this in the theater when I was 4 years old. I was born October 1988. I was obsessed with dinosaurs. I was teaching adults about dinosaurs. By third grade I was telling people how to say the word Archaeopteryx.
When my mom was asked if I was old enough to see this movie, she didn't respond in time. I did. I said, and I quote, "Dinosaurs are dead, silly!" The following birthday and Christmas I got so many Jurassic Park toys and I had so much fun for so many years!
I am June 88, so I'm basically like 40 years older than you
@@transistor281 Math?
The fact that Spielberg directed "Jurassic Park" while making "Schindler's List" is a testament to his creativity and genius. He also teamed with one of my favorite composers John Williams one again for the main score which they worked together for the main score for Spielberg's 1975 "Jaws" film. Williams also composed the score for "Star Wars" which is all 3 movies have a similar unassuming jovial sound despite the thilling and menacing nature of the action. Great reaction ❤
I was 13 when this came out, and it was awesome. From Ghostbusters CGI to this, in a 9 years.
Well, technically Ghostbusters wasn't CGI (Computer Generated Images), those were old fashioned VFX thrown together in a ridiculously short turnaround time. They'd send test shots to Ivan Reitman for feedback and he'd say "good enough, it's in the movie". They wanted to go back and redo them but there wasn't time, which is why there's a lot of shots that don't look great even for 1984 (like some of the Stay Puft scenes). If I remember right Jurassic Park is a combination of CGI, VFX compositing, and stop motion miniatures (not that I'm an expert on any of those, I just enjoy all those "making of" documentaries 😅).
@@prodestrian Typical YT reply haha The eternal "Well...."
@@dennishendrikx3228 I realised I sounded like a huge nerd the minute I pressed "Send" 😂
Sidenote: there's a great series called "The Movies that Made Us" which has episodes on both Ghostbusters and Jurassic Park, definitely worth watching if you're into this kind of behind the scenes stuff. I do remember seeing a Making of Jurassic Park special on TV back in 1994, I vividly remember the animatronic T-Rex being worked on. Absolutely groundbreaking stuff. I wish I'd seen it in a cinema instead of on TV.
@@prodestrian Just joking, its nothing serious. I would do the same,if I knew anything.
30 years later and this movie still has better cgi and practical effects than 99% of the movies coming out today.
The movie that changed movies. I saw this on my 11th birthday in a theater in the summer of ‘93. Every seat was filled still a month after the release. I will never forget how special it was. Can’t wait for The Lost World reaction.
Finally, someone who doesn't attack the kids for being stupid. Kids do dumb things all the time, especially in urgent situations. Many times, we recollect on dumb things we've done as kids and realized there was no reason behind what we did except that it was stupid. Many times, it cannot be helped.
Hammond was a monster for bringing his grandkids to an unfinished park that he skipped on the expenses of safety.
For me, it makes sense that kids do things that we, as adults, see are stupid because they literally haven't learned better yet. And they're KIDS so their brains aren't going to immediately go to logic as their emotions and adrenaline runs wild in dangerous situations (hell, plenty of adults make shit decisions when adrenaline gets going). Glad he didn't shit on the kids for being actual children during such stressful situations.
This wasn't the 1st movie I saw in theatres, (that was Home Alone), but this is still hands down the best theatrical experience I've ever had. I was 7 years old and it's all I talked about for years after. I had a bunch of the toys, read the novels, knew all the trivia. It's also the only film franchise which I've seen every one in theatres.
I'm so jealous! The original film came out in theaters a year before I was born. But I've always believed it must have been such an exciting and epic experience seeing it in theaters! If only I had a time machine! 😭
Absolutely! Those branches waving on the big screen, the very first scene, forever inprinted in my movie memories as growing anticipation.. I could feel the rain in the theatre, and it only got better from there.
another "I was 7yo" meme. Textbook comments.
I saw this on opening night in 1993 and I literally teared up during the brachiosaurus introduction. I couldn't believe what I was seeing - A REAL DINOSAUR! That, plus Williams' incredible score made a moment that made me feel like I was 5 again. It was pure magic. I'm so glad you finally got to experience this amazing film!
You cried at a dinosaur? Had you forgotten to take your meds? How old were you?
Always curious, how old were you in 1993? I was 10.
@@anthonycameronnajera8471 I was 17 and a tremendous movie buff already! Seeing the film was an amazing experience for my teenage self!
I was just shy of 17 when my dad and I went to see it in theaters. I still remember how I vicariously jerked my body when the velociraptor almost bit Lex’s leg. 😂😂
Oh heck yeah! Great movie; spectacle and wonder, then into straight up disaster film. And that John Williams music... the "Welcome to Jurassic Park"scene gets me legitimately teary-eyed every single time, but I've been watching this movie and listening to that man's incredible scores since I was like 3-years-old.
It’s my favorite scene of all time. It’s the main reason I wanted to edit J’s reaction.
That scene is “cinema” to me wrapped up in a glorious 4 minute bow. LoL
Spared no expense.
It doesn't matter how many times i see this movie it is and forever will be one of my favorites! For being 30 yrs old and still holding up to if not better then some of today's films is nothing short of amazing. The T-Rex escape scene is one of the best moments in the entire franchise.
Great reaction, and you’re 100% right about it being a secret horror movie. I went and saw this twice on opening weekend. It was absolutely mind-blowing to see those dinosaurs on the big screen, and it’s wild how well the effects hold up. Spielberg took a risk using CG, and it absolutely paid off.
The novel is decidedly less secret about being horror. I think J would be big mad with that one pretty early on. He’d probably have some “shut up!” moments even just reading prose.
My all time favourite film. Every time I watch it, I’m transported back in time to 1993, being seven years old and seeing it for the first time, and that Brachiosaurus comes on screen and it’s just magical. It feels so possible. I walked down the aisle on my wedding day to the Jurassic Park theme by The Piano Guys, and I have a tattoo on my thigh of a velociraptor holding a chunk of amber containing a mosquito with ‘clever girl’ above and under it.
I was 19 when this came out the feeling it created in us at that time to see them bring dinosaurs to life was amazing to say the least. The music helped to make it feel fantastical. Great reaction.
One of the best lines before a death, "clever girl". Saw this movie when it came out when i was about 9 yrs old. One of my all time favorites. You and Blank did such a great job with it. Fun watch. Also, i love the ambered mosquito you use as the bleep object. Good choice 😄😄😄
It doesn't matter how many times 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.
53:54 My favourite quote in the entire movie "Damn it, even Nedry knew he didn't have to mess with the raptor fences"
Another great movie! I was 13 when this came out and grew up loving dinosaurs. This movie advanced my curiosity of Paleontology
I went to see this in the theater with a group of friends. One of the girls screamed so loud and kicked the seat in front of her super hard during the Dilophosaurus scene. She made sure to stay and apologize to the people in front of her after XD. Great reaction to a favorite of so many.
A buddy of mine and I saw this in the theater when we were 17. When the lawyer was eaten sitting on the toilet I accidentally blurted out that he died on the throne like Elvis. Had everyone sitting near us cracking up. Great memories.
I saw this in the theater & was blown away. The dinosaurs looked so real. The CGI work was ground breaking for this movie. As you watch this movie you forget these are not real animals interacting with the people. Love it!!
This is one of the greatest movies of all time. The special effects in this movie are still better than 98 percent of the crap put out today. It took a 4k screen resolution and a stupid effect called motion interpolation or the soap opera effect to even recognize the green/blue screen work. The soap opera effect, or motion interpolation makes everything look ultra focused by adding in additional frames to reduce blur, but what it really does is make everything look like it is filmed with green screen background.
I always loved the kid in the beginning
"That doesn't look scary,more like a 6 foot turkey"
The heck is he talking about?If i saw a 6 foot turkey i would pass out and die
When you called the dinosaur a nasty b- when it sneezed on Lex, I LOST it! 😂 I loved this! Please consider doing The Lost World (the sequel) as well!
And Jurassic world first it's like a tribute for Jurassic park
It's fun seeing this movie again through someone else's eyes. There are still scenes that blow me away even after all these years, like the t-rex attack in the rain.
You've gotta check out Schindler's List, it'll probably wreck you emotionally but it was Spielberg's other 1993 masterpiece. It's amazing how released BOTH CLASSICS IN ONE YEAR :0
It’s on the list.
Already predicting...
"Drogo!!.....Drogo!!..."
I was 7 years old when this movie came out. At the time I was Gung Ho for dinosaurs. So when mom told me she got us tickets to go see it, I was overjoyed. Despite having nightmares for a few nights after seeing it in theaters, WORTH IT!
Another home run by Steven Spielberg!!! I made my parents take me to see this in theaters five times when it first came out. I love this movie so much and it was so real I thought the dinosaurs were real. Everything about this movie was 100.
Fun fact: while filming in Hawaii they got hit by a devastating hurricane, so the waves you see from the storm were from the hurricane. While taking shelter before it hit Steve Spielberg said go out and get some shots. There is a storm stories episode about it.
Most of the employees evacuated because of the storm so not as many people as you thought got killed. This is one that I tear up in several scenes. The first shot of the dinosaurs always gets me. This one never gets old and is still the best of all the Jurassic movies. They are all good though....even the 3rd one, which everybody hates. One of the best shots of all time is in the 2nd one...I'll wait for you to watch that one. Such a great reaction...so many great jumps. I was only gonna watch my favorite scenes....and I ended up watching every minute...Great job!
46:56 "I stopped learning about dinosaurs after littlefoot's mama" 😂 Bro that one got me 😂😂😂
This iconic movie shaped a generation.. it inspired creativity and imagination for countless individuals.. so glad you enjoyed this.. great reaction 😉👍
Jurassic Park is a timeless classic gem of a movie. The special effects have aged like a fine wine and still hold up to this day.
honestly another movie I’m surprised he hasn’t seen. it might be scary, but it’s still such a cool classic for everyone, even if I don’t like certain parts of it. I’m sure everyone’s waiting for the Nedry scene, “clever girl scene”, or the Mr. Arnold scene.
Just wanted to say: Three things. One, I know you’ll probably never see this comment. Two, Jurassic Park was, maybe still is, my favorite movie ever. Three, your reactions to the jump-scares are EXACTLY what we all experienced in the theaters, and the commentary are so funny and charming. I can tell that if we ever met we would be good friends, just based on the way you talk to the camera. So much fun. Thank you so much! -Chad, Atlanta
Lol I usually see all the comments sometimes it gets a little hard but I try to get the bulk of them.
I greatly appreciate the kind words and I’m glad you been enjoying. Glad to have you apart of the family.
We def still read all the new comments.
And as J’s editor, I’ve waited a year to cut this. It’s been my favorite movie since I was ten. Glad you enjoyed!
what i love about this movie is that no matter how many times you watch it you will still enjoy it each time.
Imagine how groundbreaking this movies special effects were to us 30 yrs ago
I remember seeing this in the theater. I can't even describe how amazing it was in the theater. Another masterpiece by Steven Spielberg and John Williams. We must have gone back and watched it four or five times in the theater.
Ikr! It was truly an experience. I was like 4 at the time and this was literally the coolest thing we'd ever seen. Even our parents were white-knuckling the armrest and tense and they never got scared at the movies.
This movie is just a masterpiece for both kids and adults. And the movie hits different for both "worlds"
I remember as a kid, the dining scene was boring and terrible. Didn't understand anything.
But now it is the best part of the movie.
The fossil that Dr Grant located in Montana is the Archaeopteryx, the transitional fossil of early dinosaurs to modern dinosaurs (birds). If you look at birds today, you will notice the feet resemble early dinosaurs. You will notice similarities to birds of prey as well as flightless birds such as the cassowary (this is one of the most dangerous birds).
The fact that blue skinned nightmare fuel is from Australia is enough to tell me that it's dangerous. Adding dinosaur lineage to it is just gilding the lilly.
That wasn't an Archaeopteryx, it was a Deinonychus which was classified as a subspecies of Velociraptor when the book was written.
Saw this in the theater when it first came out. Nothing beats seeing it on the big screen with an audience and the sound.
I was six when it came out. I tried watching it in the theater with my dad but I had to leave early because it was too scary. I've seen it as an adult now, of course, and can handle it now. The first "scary" movie (at least by my standards as a kid) that I sat through all the way was Twister three years later.
I was 7 and there was no way I was leaving but I did cover my eyes during the raptors in the kitchen scene.
Saw this at 9 and covered my eyes right after 'Clever girl...'. I didn't learn for years that they don't show anything 😅 It's just the right amount of scary for kids 👍
My son was 3 or 4 when this came on cable. He snuck in our bedroom to watch and I found him sitting on the floor, watching the movie like this 😍😁😍😁. He freaken loved it lol 🤷 so his love of dinosaurs began 💚. He's 30 now and still likes scary films. I had a blast watching your reaction.
The best reaction J Man. This movie will forever hold up as a classic. This was also the 1st age-restricted movie I saw on the big screen. Pure terror 😅!
J's reaction when Billy's leg drops on the sun roof is pure gold. In fact all of J's jump scares are gold 😂
I bet you were 7yo, right? Like the others.
I never thought of Jurassic Park as a comedy, but J's reactions had me howling with laughter the entire time! So glad you enjoyed the film. It's a classic for a reason: everyone making it had a genuine love for dinosaurs and wanted to do the impossible and make them "real." They used everything from suitmation (guys in costumes, ala Godzilla), animatronics, and CGI, and it succeeded on every level.
Blank, you should do a compilation video of all of J's jump scares. There are some golden ones in this reaction that need to be included as well. As the guy in Robocop said "I'd buy that for a dollar."
Keep up the great work, guys! You are consistently the best show, on UA-cam or anywhere else, that has been my pleasure to watch.
Yes a lot of us saw this as kids. I remember first seeing this film at FOUR YEARS OLD, and loving it. haha XD I'm glad ou enjoyed it. :)
This movie still gives me chills when I watch it. The OG is a classic that lives the test of time.
One of best and realest movie lines ever.
“Your Scientist….. they didn’t stop to think if they should” FACTS!!💯
The CGI in this movie holds up extremely well. More attention to details was paid to each shot then a lot of more modern movies.
Also this music was good thanks especially to John Williams
Fun fact: the dinosaur that spat poisonous venom and the vibrating frill was the famous Dilophosaurus! To pronounce (Die- loaf-uh-saur-us) however the real animal did not have the frill or spit venom, it was much larger than the movie shows, it’s real counterpart was at least 10 feet tall and 20 feet long, the meaning of dilophosaurus means “double crested lizard”. This has been fun facts!
I think the original idea was for the Dilophosaurus in the movie to be a juvenile (hence the playful attitude it showed at first). They later changed it so that all of them were that size.
Saw this opening weekend and it blew me away!! I was 13 and it was the most spectacular movie I ever saw. Since that day, I have seen this many times and the scene where Alan sees the first dinosaur still makes me happy. I remember the cinema was so quiet when this scene came on, everyone was in shock by what we all saw. There is was, a "real" dinosaur right infront of us. One of the most spectacular cinematic experiences of my life
dude, I saw this when it came out for my 13th birthday, HOLY SHIT! the music, the visuals... when the T-Rex roared it shook the theater, the whole building shook when it walked. this movie was such an experience. like most book adaptations the book is better, but honestly, they're so different that they each are legendary in their own right
The scene with the bracchiosaurus is still giving me chills.
Jurassic World will never reach this kind of level.
Also I can't help it. The good boy behind you is always looking at you.
I saw this at seven in theaters and was enraptured by it. It was incredible. Even today, the special effects stand up which is a testament to the skill of the crew. Those were cutting edge CGI graphs for some of those scenes and still better than some seen today.
I bet you saw The Exorcist when you were 4, right?
56:58 - in the novel, Mr. Arnold went to the maintenance shed but since the lights were all out and he forgot to bring a flashlight he initially propped the door open with his shoe. Well, when he walked by the velociraptor paddock they noticed him and later escaped and entered the maintenance shed through the propped door.
We see his severed arm but there was actually a severed leg prop that Ellie Sattler was intended to trip over (that's why she's limping). In fact there was supposed to be an entire death scene of Mr. Arnold but due to Hurricane Iniki that would ravage the island in a couple days the scene was never filmed and cut.
My #1 Favorite movie of all time!
Before Steven Spielberg directed the film, Richard Donner, James Cameron, Tim Burton and Joe Dante were considered for the job. Cameron almost got thr rights to the project, but Spielberg who was a close friend to Author Michael Crichton, signed on for the film. Cameron knew that he wasn't the right person for the job and that his version of JURASSIC PARK would have been darker and violent and scarier.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, William Hurt, Richard Dreyfuss, Robin Williams, Tom Selleck, Mel Gibson, Jeff Bridges, Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, Tom Sizemore and Dylan McDermott were considered for Alan Grant until Sam Neill was cast
Julia Roberts, Kelly McGillis, Juliette Binoche, Guenieve Bujold, Helen Hunt, Renee Zellweger, Laura Linney, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sandra Bullock, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan, Linda Hamilton, Christina Applegate, Lisa Rinna, Juliette Lewis, Julianne Moore, Teri Hatcher, Mariska Hargitay, Kim Raver, Sherilyn Fenn, and Kim Basinger were considered for Ellie Satler until Laura Dern was cast
Jim Carrey, Bruce Campbell, Ted Danson, Michael Keaton, Steve Guttenberg, Bill Paxton and Michael J. Fox were considered for Ian Malcolm until Jeff Goldblum was cast.
Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Ian Bannen, Sean Connery, Charlton Heston, and Jon Pertwee were considered for John Hammond until Richard Attenborough was cast.
Brian Cox, Jeffrey Jones, Geoffrey Rush, and Bob Hoskins were considered for Robert Muldoon until Bob Peck was cast.
My favorite movie of all time, too. Just so good in every way. Beyond reproach. A magical, magical film.
This is my favourite film too and I didn't know ALL of that...wow, could've been a majorly different film with just one casting change! Thanks for sharing. :)
Just take the first actors in all those roles and make the movie in your head. Simply Amazing!
@@RaefonB Most of this is wrong. Take it with a grain of salt. The directors fact is completely wrong.
The reality is spielberg had the inside track as he read the book before it released since he had been friends with crichton ever since he showed michael the universal studios studios when they bought the rights to andromeda strain in the early 70s. As such the film was spielberg's to lose. Steven got Universal to buy the film rights with him attached to direct. However, rival studios knew the film was going to be a major hit and threw their hat into the ring with their own attached director. None really had a chance at all. Cameron was bandied about as a dark horse secondary candidate but it was never going to happen. The only reason anyone thinks he had traction is because he was asked by the press about it and simply said he would have gone more faithfully to the book but it wouldn't have been the hit spielberg made so he was glad he wasn't chosen.
A lot of the Hammond, Grant and Malcolm casting choices are wrong too. Harrison Ford WAS strongly linked to the film though, even appearing in concept art for the movie.
@@scottb3034 Thanks.
I just feel the need to point out that... reason why the dinos look so good is because majority of them are practical effects not cgi
I was in 4th Grade and saw this in the movie theater with my dad. I loved dinosaurs and this didn’t disappoint. Also, I caught my daughter watching it on tv when she was 5 and she called the movie “The Dinosaur Potty Movie”
🤣🤣🤣 your daughter is one smart cookie!
Honestly this is my favorite movie of all time. The music, the puppeteering, the acting, the directing, the source material. Not to mention the technical leaps they made that made a huge impact to the entire film industry as a whole.
Just an amazing movie. ❤
Jeff Goldblum returns in the sequel "The Lost World" as basically the leading male role. And he's absolutely hilarious, one-liners constantly! It's more of a grown-up style storyline.
And IMO it's the only sequel in the series worth watching
@@s.henrlllpoklookout5069 amen to that.
When a skilled director works from a great screenplay based upon an equally great book, along side of gifted PRACTICAL effects geniuses and fearless CGI artists we the viewer are gifted with films like this.
Can't wait for this. How many shud ups will we get? It's going to be epic😂😂
I can promise you one thing. It’s def epic. Lol
Untold
Did not disappoint... Totally enjoyed this... Still laughing...🤣🤣🤣❤❤
Great reaction! This was my first PG-13 movie. I was 5 years old!! I remember being terrified when they kids were in the kitchen; felt trapped inside with them.
That being said, I loved it. I’ve never seen CGI like this so early on in its existence. They literally made dinosaurs come back to life in my eyes. It was like watching magic for the first time.
Cheers man! Appreciate the hard work you do!
I was 19yrs old when this came out and this was a real treat to me. i grew up loving dinosaurs, collecting dinosaur toys and such, and used to watch Land of the Lost. Needless to say, those dinosaurs from the 70's looked like sock puppets compared to what Jurassic Park pulled off. There was nothing like seeing this on the big screen too.
@17:06 "I don't even know why I asked that dumbass question ... if you can make a dinosaur, I'm pretty sure you got a good organization system." 🤣🤣🤣
One of the most honest and fun reactions in UA-cam for this incredible movie, man! 10/10
That raptor reveal moment in the shed is a super intense jump scare, a true #STFU moment. 😂
For me, to this day, Jurassic Park is best action movie ever. Has deep story about danger of modern science and hubris, great FX, amazing music and cast is mindblowing. Also - pacing is perfect. I watched it first time, when I was 7-8 and I was scared to go to the bathroom for a month after t-rex scene. Great times.
