- Welcome to our Jurassic Park (1993) reaction! This is our first time watching this film in over two decades and there is lot's to talk about. Is Jurassic Park still good 31 years later?
In "Jurassic Park," we journey to Isla Nublar, where billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has created a theme park featuring cloned dinosaurs. Hold on to your butts as we react to Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) face the thrilling and dangerous reality of living dinosaurs.
We were truly amazed by the practical effects in this film and how they still hold up to this day. There was so much we didn't remember about this film but boy was it fun revisiting such a classic and an icon in cinema history.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the film's groundbreaking special effects, suspenseful storyline, and unforgettable characters. From the breathtaking scenes of the T. rex breakout to the nail-biting raptor chase, this movie is a rollercoaster of emotions!

Ooooo space here! Great idea for a re-watch. I won't say best movie 🍿🎥 but I'll say one of the most perfect EVER made. So detailed like the DNA cartoon. When I was a kid and we watched a lot of films, one was on electricity called READY KILOWATT!! Great Job Yuze Two!! 🕊️☮️
You are probably my favorite reactors and I have seen countless. Because you're not reactors at all, you genuinely go in depth and care about the dynamics of film making. Not just going for shock value for likes. I have watched your Lord of the Rings videos a few times and love it. There's something about enjoying things vicariously. Keep up the great work. Godspeed!
By the way, there’s a good scene is James Cameron’s Sci-fi docuseries where he interviews Steven Spielberg and they discuss Jurassic Park. Cameron reveals that he read the advance copy of Jurassic Park and immediately tried to get the rights, but it turned out Spielberg had beaten him to it already. Cameron admitted he was briefly sore about it, but when he watched the film, he said Spielberg had the better vision for the adaptation. Cameron said he would have made it like Aliens with a hard R rating and bloody violence.
When I heard that, I was like “yeah yeah yeah Spielberg made a classic, ok, so when does YOUR version go into production, Mr. Cameron?”
_“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.“_ - Stephen Spielberg
Oh wow! That is deep!
John Williams is also pretty humble… One of my favorite stories/anecdotes about him is a story that Steven Spielberg likes to tell
When he was making shadows list (consequently he was making it while making this film) he had asked John to score of the film… To which John Williams responded that “you really should try to find a brilliant Jewish composer for this film” (Paraphrasing of course) and Steven replied “yeah I know, but they’re all dead”
Which to some kind of sound flippant lol… But the implication was that he was the greatest living composer for film and he literally couldn’t find anyone alive who could do it
I don't think you have tried hard enough to make a bike fly.
@@DoughnutJelly55 lol, actually, your comment reminds me of when we'd set up a planc on a cinder block, like a ramp, and jump our bicycles -- doing our best Evel Knievel imitation! We didn't exactly 'fly', but for a fraction of a second, it sure felt like it! 😲😁
@@DoughnutJelly55 Tried during my youthful backyard wrestling and "Xtreme sports" phase. Most of those times ended in something akin to "Ah! My balls!" Or general shouts of pain.
Btw, the actor that plays Hammond is Richard Attenborough, David Attenborough’s older brother!
This franchise holds a special place in my heart it was the first movies i saw with my adopted family they heard that i like dinosaurs so they got me the first 3 on vhs
That's heartwarming
No music during the T-Rex breakout. Brilliant! I love when people go into Jurassic Park thinking it's a kids movie, the book was straight up horror 😂
My mom and grandmother took me and my 3 brothers to see this in the theater when it released. My brothers and I were ages 14, 12, 9, and 7, and we all LOVED it! We've rewatched it countless times since. I've always been captivated by dinosaurs and Ice Age animals/creatures.
I forgot to say, I love love love your reactions to this movie! 🥰
My favourite film watching experience ever was about 5 years ago, where I went to see Jurassic Park: In Concert. Massive projector screen playing the movie, live orchestra playing the music for the whole film.
I love watching the behind the scenes making of video for this- especially when it comes to the animators trying to figure out how to make the CGI dino's move so it look real. The fact that they filmed themselves running with their hands up to their chests and hopping over stuff, just to get it right, was so cool, and I love the dedication they had to their craft.
Fun Fact: In the book the park had sensors to monitor the number of dinosaurs so they knew if one died or escaped. However it was programmed to stop counting at the expected number so they still had no idea they were multiplying even though they had systems in place.
"I love that Hammond is not the typical rich evil guy with a plan". Anyone who read the novel: "👀 uhm... Yeah 👀"
I love that this film is different to the cliche.
So what's kinda of interesting is that Nedry's actions are almost understandable (in a way agreeable) in the novel. In the book, there is an explanation that issues with the computer set up caused a lot more unexpected work for Nedry and Hammond wouldn't renegotiate their contract to compensate all the extra work that he had to put in to keep things on schedule. So you could almost argue that had Hammond actually spared no expense, the trip to the park would have been a lot less exciting for our main characters
You have no idea how much I love you guys, just seeing a new video makes me smile. Thank you.
This is why Spielberg is one of my favorite directors: simply for his ability to create true cinema magic. The sense of wonder and amazement in his films still touches me in the heart.
In the book Grant loves kids because they’re some of the few people who are excited about dinosaurs as he is. Pronouncing difficult words and everything
the most overlooked thing in this movie is when they are landing and Alan just ties a knot in the two pieces of belt.
Because the side of the belt he had two of, are called "female" in equipment terminology....
so
When he ties them together, it is a very small but very accurate representation of "life finds a way" and the instance that they cannot control the breeding on the island
I remember im 1993my brother went to sears and bought this movie when it came out on vhs . The original black cover. This movie has a special place in my heart
Wayne Knight, aka Newman aka Dennis Nedry. Was the first person Spielberg casted in Jurassic Park based on his performance in Basic Instinct.
The young boy is Joseph Mazzello who played Eugene Sledge in The Pacific and John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody
In the Jurassic park novel (book) Robert maldoon didn’t have a shotgun he had a rocket launcher
Everyone ''omg that vicious velociraptor is terrifying!!''
Denise ''boop a snoot''
This is the only Billionaire that I respect.
- He wants to amazing children
- He wants to show to the poors as well
- During the movie, he is more concerned about his grandkids.
- He looks more for safety than profit
Don’t read the book then… Hammond is a straight 🍑hole in that. I love him in the films though.
And I love the actor. He was a great Santa Claus too.
we saw this in theater when a came out, my 5yo ass was terrified, i had my eyes covered for moat of it
Crazy to think Steven Spielberg was working on this and Schindler's List simultaneously.
It's the "gang gang" mickey mouse hoodie for me 😂😂😂😂
Fun Fact: Rexy the T-Rex is the only dinosaur left from the OG park by the time we get to the Jurassic World installments. So we got to see her flex in the beginnings of both iterations of JP. 😁
Here's a fact the very first Dino to fully show is the very same one that dies from the valcano in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom which also shows the end of the Jurassic Park era
The T. rex paddock breakout sequence is the best scene in cinema history
John hammond is played by
Richard Attenborough who is the brother of famous narrator
David Attenborough
Movies have been formulaic probably since the 2000's... I mean, how many super hero movies have the main character where their parents or loved one died and that's why they've become a super hero? And since then, they've been doing re-makes of movies done in the 1980s and 1990s.... I mean, I get it... Movie making on the large scale is about making money... But, I would love a movie made on the cheap that had a fantastic story... Godzilla Minus One showed us that you can have possibly one of the best movies of the year made on basically a shoe string budget. I think Reservoir Dogs was made on 5 million dollars?
Fun fact: omitting the "attack from the side"/pack hunting behavior, Grant's description of how a Velociraptor attacks you is more or less how the Dilophosaurus dispatches Nedry in the book (made even worse/better by the fact that the Dilo was about 7 feet tall in the OG iteration)
55:45 I knew I'd hear a "boop the snoot" from Denise at some point lol
36:05 “That’s a horrible way to go dude”
Oh that’s not even the worst…you should see how he dies in the novel
One thing I think Jurassic Park nails about the dinosaurs, even with how much we've learned scientifically over the years, is the way they behave like ZOO animals rather than truly wild animals. If you were dropped in the late Cretaceous, an adult Tyrannosaurus would have little to no interest in hunting you; we're much smaller than their typical prey, and the fact that we look very different to anything they'd be familiar with would give a predator pause. But a T.Rex that is familiar with humans AND understimulated is going to act very differently, and the movie does a very good job showing that. These aren't bloodthirsty monsters out to kill for fun OR wild animals that would really rather have nothing to do with us; they're stuck in a middle ground between the two because of their inappropriate captive lives.
As a kid I was busy hiding under the cinema seat back then XD
there are movies that never die and that despite of the years are still good movies, I wish I could give you all my list of favorite movies but I would not finish and many are classics others are somewhat not very well known, I hope you continue my favorite reactioners even at this late hour of the night while im working on my photographs I realized that there was something new of you and I never hesitate to put it. greetings as always from el salvador 🤗right know while im watching im making pupusas for dinner 🤣🤣🤣
19:42 Sledgehammer before Peleliu...
You *really* need to read the book or listen to the unabridged audiobook. It's awesome!!! Also, a bit of JP cast Trivia: Joseph Mazzello, who plays Hammond's grandson Tim, grew up to play John Deacon in Bohemian Rapsody.
The thing I always remembered was Nedry getting eaten lmao
I always say it's an adventure movie that handles tension like a horror movie. Together with Terminator 2 this is THE movie of my childhood.
The Dilophosaurus in Novel is way more scarier than in movie
Genuinely enjoy watching your videos ❤
in the kitchen scene if you faintly look where the raptor stands at the doorway, theres a hand that rubs the back of the raptor
Are ostriches and emus at least 6ft tall? I think I would be scared if one of them came near me. I'm 4'11" I'm no match.
Oh man I remember when this movie came out my parents took me and my siblings to watch it, i was 6 years old and the whole movie i was like this 🫣 lol
The irony is that John Hammond says that they spared no expense but underpaying Dennis Nedry is what caused all of their problems 😂
Underpaid according to Nedry. I’m sure he was asking for something astronomical. He was probably paid quite well.
@@emilywilhite5807 He said he was paid the salary of one employee but he was essentially doing the job of a small team of people. So even if he was paid "well", it still didn't measure up given the work he did.
@@patrickt49 is what he said.
a lot of robers blame society for being angy but then buy alcol and drugs.
The movie has space for speculation here. In the novel it is pretty clear, that Hammond was in fact underpaying, even blackmailing Nedry. Book-Hammond was much more evil.
But even in the movie it should be clear that the park was not save at all also without Nedry. As Mr Arnold said "we have all the problems of a theme park and a zoo". Beginning with "no locking mechanisms" to "never tested an emergency restart of the system" to not considering what the frog dna can do. And even the sick Triceratop and a Brachiosaurus with a cold show that there is too much room for an epic fail.
That does not make Nedry a nice guy. He put innocent people into danger for his greed (and revenge on Hammond) and of course started the actual brake down.
@@c.h.9223 yeah book Hammond is a real POS. After all these years i never clued in to the Brachiosaurus's cold being another sign of the dinosaurs poor health but it makes sense. I recall there being an unshot scene or deleted scene that answers the mystery of the sick Tryke
15:34 "Wow. The amount of effort they put into all of this... look at this!"
Spared no expense.
Here's a fun fact that has been stuck in my head for 30 years.
The iconic water cup was actually really difficult to create. They spent weeks trying to figure out how to get the perfect ripples. By accident it was discovered that placing the glass on a guitar and plucking the strings created the ripples, so they ran a guitar string from bottom of the glass to the bottom of the car and plucked it. Perfect ripples. One of those cool super simple solutions that just need someone to think of them.
That's why Spielberg is the GOAT.
@@DakotaMambaPrescott244 He is indeed the GOAT, but in this case the credit goes to special effects supervisor Michael Lantieri. He was playing guitar with his son when they discovered it.
@@JakobBerry I always like learning about the background things on movies. I like looking at the imdb pages for things like this
@@rainbowpegacornstudios I think you might have responded to the wrong comment.
@@JakobBerry I did. Sorry. I lost a comment that said "Brontosaurus" and I meant to put *Brachiosaurus there.
One of my favorite bits I learned later as an adult is early on in the helicopter, when Grant can't fit the two Female ends together, he 'finds a way.' Great foreshadowing
HOLY COW THAT IS GENIUS!!! Great catch!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Jurassic Park sequels and franchises did Jurassic Park 3 is the best
Clever girl
Oh my God
Holy shit...🤯
Fun Fact: The child actor playing Tim appears in the film "Bohemian Rapsody" as John Deacon, the bassist in the band "Queen".
He also played Eugene Sledge in The Pacific, one of the best and most emotional arcs in that WW2 series
I don't recognize that Joe Mazello, who plays John Deacon from "Bohemian Rhapsody" was in this film as Tim Murphy. In 2018 when I was in fourth year high school, just watched in the theaters for the Freddie Mercury biopic and we we're obssessed with them because of their songs.
@@robcain8865 Yep, and his dog was named Deacon. How ironic is that!
And little Lex is in Tremors with the Bacon-man.
And also played Dustin Moskovitz in "The Social Network"
I was a teenager on a date when I watched this in the theaters. When the T Rex gets the dude on the toilet, kids started screaming, parents were picking their kids up and running out of the theater. It was wild. Seeing the bronto for the first time was “the” experience of a lifetime.
My aunt Linda took me to see it when I was 7. When the raptor jumped out of the tubes in the maintenance shed, she screamed and covered MY eyes. I tried to push her off, but she had a death grip on my face. Lol
There is not brontosaurus in this movie. I think you want to say Brachiosaurus. The apatosaurus (other name for brontosaurus) is first seen in jurassic world
@@deather6412 AcTuAlLy
@@deather6412 1). let's not be pedantic over this. We all knew what they were talking about. 2). Brontosaurus was deemed a valid genus of sauropod distinct from Apatosaurus in 2015.
@@bakedAK85 Exactly. And as long as we're gettin' all cerebral...travelin' down this intellectual road, it was ALSO the one that Fred Flintstone operated at the quarry! :)
I love that you can vividly recall the wonder of that first moment seeing the dinosaurs from watching as a kid, but none of the plot details..... which makes sense, since in that moment as a child you were just as spellbound as the characters when first seeing REAL DINOS. Perfect example of how movies can truly transport you if they're done right!
My parents dragged me along to see this in theater when I was 6. Although my memories are fairly vague of that time, I vividly remember being like a scared puppy curled up against my mom whenever the T-Rex or Raptors were on screen, especially the paddock breakout scene.
Funfact: If you closely look at the outfits Dennis Nedrey wears in the movie (the hacker guy) youll notice he is cosplaying Goonies in the different scenes hes in. Thats always my favorite detail
He’s also , most famously, NEWMAN!!!! from Seinfeld 😂
didnt know that. thanks for posting. I'll be on the lookout
Thank you for unlocking a new challenge! So far I see Mouth and Mikey...
😂
@@TheDivayentaWorst mail man!! No soup for him!
Fun fact!: the reason why the trex roars for no reason sometimes is because its vision its based on movement (in the movie, not real life), so it roars to scare the creatures into moving.
Wow cool
While real the real T-Rex has excellent binocular vision, and are always silent, but made low frequency sounds similar to elephants, crocodiles and alligators, or emus, since it's a very large animal, and they have sensitive hearing.
@@mightychroniclesuraniusvol6449 fascinating!
@@fyrasfacts1855 you should check out Goji-Center and Beastopia. They have good videos that explain and analyze different creatures from media and real life.
@@mightychroniclesuraniusvol6449to be fair tho, the dinosaurs were made with a bit of frog DNA, so it was a bit messed up (i think)
I love the layers of this film. As a kid, it was a cool dinosaur movie. As a teen, it's a scary movie. As an adult, it's a frightening dissection of wealth, hubris, and capitalism-first scientific exploration. There's a reason Dr. Oppenheimer has a photo cameo in this film. It's truly a timeless and essential movie.
It is an incredibly well executed film. From the plot to the action they nailed every aspect of it. As an adult the plot went way deeper than we recalled. The film had something to say and it does it in such an entertaining way.
It's funny as a kid I found the "lunch" scene boring as hell and would often skip it in my excitment for DINOS! As an adult, its easily the best scene in the movie lol
@KS-xk2so I can agree, it's the same for me too, I loved the action scenes as a kid and older I grew to appreciate the writing, cinematography, direction, of course the music, everything so much more! It got better! It was an A+ for me as a kid and as an adult it's still an A+ It's honestly what I would call "A Blockbuster Film" not a movie, a film, everything works so perfectly and its textbook how you make popcorn entertainment the right way, same as Jaws, Star Wars and others, also I love the Mr DNA scene, that should be taught in film school as a great way to deliver expososition without it being boring or cliche.
Both the movie and book it's based on is a story about the repercussions of trying to play God and mess with nature. An allegory for Frankenstein. The illusion of control and the consequences of treating your creation as a commodity.
I’ll never forget watching this in the theater on opening weekend one week before my ENTIRE family when to Universal Studios Hollywood for our big trip… like 60% of the park was FULLY decked out as Jurassic Park… I was 10 and it was incredible
Wow! That sounds amazing. What a cool memory to have!
Islands of adventure, the Jurassic park water ride, is instilled into my childhood memory.
I was 19 and a new immigrant. I had read about “THX Theaters” in magazines but never had the chance to watch a movie in one, until that summer in L.A.
Wasn’t in a big cineplex, AMC Theaters in Old Town Pasadena, speakers all around, totally worth it just for the T-Rex intro alone.
I'm from India and that was the first film that I watched in theaters with my mom and brother as kid ❤ and Still got attached with those franchise 🎉
I saw this in theaters when I was 8. My brother was 10, and My uncle took us because he was awesome. I specifically remember because the theater was at the Fairview Mall, just north of Toronto in Canada. The movie theater sits on top of the mall, so you have to take a specific escalator from the food court in order to get there. Things have gotten smaller since then, but that moment became my gold standard for going to the movies. I am certain that it is way better in my memory, but I only know of 2 people who can tell me otherwise.
John Williams' score in this film can't get praised enough. It's wondrous, dreadful, chilling, majestic and beautiful all in one. Bless him for all the musical achievements he has done for us.
Thanks for noticing "objects in the mirror are larger than they appear". You're the first reviewers I've seen to mention that. Sometimes it's the little things. Great reaction as always.
Meatloaf - objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.
I just love the fact that Sam L. has reached such an iconic status that when you spot him in a film the reaction may be “What?!” “Is that…” “I thought I heard HIS voice.” 😏
"Say what again!"
@@bodhitree33sadly he didn’t say mother fucker
The T-Rex scene… in the cinema… you felt the steps. Then the roar… went right through you.
This is one of those blockbusters that’s made for cinema consumption 😊
This won three Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects, Sound Mixing, and Sound Effects Editing.
Ben Burtt sound effects wonder
Well earned
Very deservedly so, especially for the sound. The screeches of the velociraptors and the roar of the T-Rex are absolutely blood-curdling, to this day.
The sound design was done by Gary Rydstrom, pretty much the protégé of Ben Burtt and he would go on to do sound work for many other legendary films, becoming a sound legend himself alongside Ben
And Steven Spielberg won Best Director and John Williams won for Best Score...for a TOTALLY different movie!
Can't help but assume that Richard Attenborough (John Hammond) was inspired by his brother when playing this role... the lifetime Naturalist Sir David Attenborough.
David went on to Narrate for Prehistoric planet and several other dinosaur series after Richard's passing... completing the circle.
His depiction of the character in The Lost World was more based off of his brother, where he becomes more of a wildlife activist for the dinosaurs.
Sad fact. Richard lost his daughter and granddaughter in the tsunami that hit Thailand in 2004. That movie the impossible talks about it
@@thechad4485 Whilst i don't disagree... David's early life was helping stock zoo's so "everyone could experience wildlife". This is of course was a long time ago when it was considered normal and he quickly moved on to the "Wildlife must be left alone and watched from a distance" moto.
So there is actually a lot of his Brother in John Hammonds character in both movies.
@@Ryne_Barrow I did not know that...
@@Ryne_Barrow and his daughter’s mother-in-law as well. I couldn’t imagine such a terrible loss to lose three loved ones in such a horrible act of nature.
I lost it when Denise said "boop the snoot." Lolol. Great reaction, guys, just like always! As an aside, you now must watch "Crocodile Dundee!"
"That's not a knife. THIS is a knife." :D
Media Knights: I remember this guy, yeah wasn't he a meme?
Me: (in my best Jerry Seinfeld voice) Hello Newman 😅
The fact that Spielberg released Schindlers List that SAME YEAR is truly mindblowing.
One has landmark visual effects and becomes the highest grossing movie at that time, while the other wins 7 Oscars including Best Director and Picture!
I can gladly say that I would not be who I am today without this movie. My passion for prehistoric life, my drive to pursue animation as a career, and my love for film came from this. Thank you for giving this film another breath in modern media! The quality holds up so well and it showcases the balance between practical and computer effects!
Would LOVE to see y'all react to the other Jurassic movies!
We will definitely continue this journey! This film impacted millions of people’s lives and it’s great to see so many of you share the love you have for this with us. Thank you for stopping by ❤️
on a side note: for all the kids who went to see this on the big screen, excited to see dinosaurs "irl" when they go in... and exhibiting signs of PTSD when they come out, traumatized.
and the girl playing Lex, a few years earlier played Mindy, the girl on the pogo stick, in the movie Tremors.
😅 never knew that have to rewatch those
Just saw that in a Dawn Marie reaction to that movie. 🙂
And the boy, Tim is played by Joseph Mazzello, who amongst other roles, played John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody.
Incase you're wondering why the kitchen freezer floor was wet and slippery (and the door open) when Tim ran for it, think back to Hammond and Elle's conversation earlier at the table. What were they eating? Ice cream! Hammond had gone to the freezer to get the tub of ice cream and left the door open. One of my favorite details.
Huh, I just figured that the freezer went off when they lost power, hence the wet floor. I guess two things can be true.
And they were in a warm climate, so it wouldn't necessarily take too long for things to warm up and melt.
Wow, that’s a nice detail that’s truly new to me! Thanks.
Having seen many Jurassic Park reactions, I’ve already read so many comments that share just the exact same cool observations and facts. But this one is new to me!
I think this fits with the butterfly effect Malcolm was telling Ellie, too.
The biggest compliment you can pay Jurassic Park is that if they remade the movie today, it wouldn't look any better than the original.
It would if they still use animatronics but better CGI b.c. the CGI rly dosn't look good in every scene
I've seen this film hundreds of times now and I STILL get that emotional swell every single time.
How could you not!? With that incredible score and the awe inspiring visuals😄
slacker
THIS MOVIE IS STILL AMAZING 31 YEARS LATER!!!!!!!! JOHN WILLIAMS AMAZING SCORE!!!!!! Last year Dad and I saw JURASSIC PARK IN THEATERS for its 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!! It was awesome!!!!!!!!!
John Williams absolutely killed it! I mean the man has got some serious talent to the point we cannot decide which one of his scores is our favorite.
@@OfficialMediaKnights RIGHT!?!?!? He is one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME COMPOSERS!!!!!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights FYI THE MARIO CHARACTER YOSHI IS A VELOCIRAPTOR
@@OfficialMediaKnights YOU NEED TO WATCH THE MOVIE THE ABYSS
WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?
"Your scientists, they were so worried if they could that they never stopped to think if they should" basically summarizes Disney's approach in making movies nowadays.
Can't wait for that Seven Dwarfs remake, huh? 😂
@@Reclining_Spuds*seven mythical creatures
I swear, when you combine Steven Spielberg with John Williams' music, you get cinema magic. That Brachiosaurus scene still blows my mind.
The warmth of that score will always move me, it's like a cuddle in a bath during winter
I remember being a kid seeing that scene, it still is burned into my head 20 years later. The only way I could improve on that moment is, funny enough, the Lego Jurassic Park game where you could walk up to the brachio in actual gameplay. I got the exact same feeling of heartswelling wonder.
Nobody does awe and wonder quite like Williams.
When my sister and I saw this in theaters. She said " the T-Rex just came from there, how is it a cliff now." I never knew what she meant till I saw it on VHS.😮
There's kind of a cliff in the enclosure. The car didn't go over the railing exactly where the T-Rex broke out.
There's a map of the park's enclosures somewhere that shows it pretty clearly.
Dennis Nedry was cosplaying as The Goonies during the movie. First he was Chunk in his Hawaiian shirt, then he was Mouth in his Members Only jacket, then he was Mikey in his yellow rain jacket.
It’s so ironic that this film was praised for how groundbreaking the CGI was that the practical effects never got any recognition. 31 years later everyone discusses the perfect balance of you using both art mediums.
And just think, this is actually Lex’s *second* monster movie! Just a few years earlier, she was avoiding being eaten by giant worm monsters in the original Tremors.
When the Music kicks just tears of nostalgia 🥲
So effective! Btw, cool profile pic! Did you check out the DLC yet? 😄
@@OfficialMediaKnights Ty 😊 yeah im in the middle of it , exploring the shadow realm. Its so much fun!
Unnecessary trivia: Jeff Goldblum always looked a little dorky to me on the screen in the 80s but then I met him in person and he's way better looking than you'd expect. Also way taller! He was very nice.
I love to rewatch movies because you always notice something you missed before
This was an absolute shock in 93. Back in the 80s people said computer graphics would become so good that one day they would look like photography. And now here was this photo realistic Brachiosaur right there in the shot with people in the open sun. Unbelievable.
Crazy fun fact about the storm (hurricane)
There was an ACTUAL hurricane that occured during the production of this film. The cast actually thought they were going to die.
The film crew braved the storm just enough to get real footage of the storm into this film.
A small bit but enough to make it feel real.
A hurricane? In the Pacific?
@@andrewcrowder4958 yes, hurricane Iniki.. in the Eastern Pacific they are still called hurricanes. Also, it is believed by some that the storm that became Iniki actually formed off the African coast and crossed over Central America.
1. This is my favorite Spielberg movie as well as my #3 all-time favorite movie.
2. While the movie is faithful to the spirit of the book it's based on, nothing in the movie goes 100% exactly like how it went in the book. But the biggest detail they left out was they not only brought Grant, Satler, and Malcolm to the island to get their safety endorsement, but also their hypothesis on whether or not the island was escape-proof. Because there had been reports of Dino encounters on the mainland of Costa Rica, so they wanna know if some of them actually managed to escape. That's where the whole "Dinosaurs breeding in the wilds" thing came into play. And the book ended with the Costa Rican government bombing the island as our heroes are flown out via helicopter.
3. The special effects of this film have an interesting history, as Spielberg hired the best VFX maestros he could get at the time.
-Stan Winston, for the life-sized animatronic Dinosaurs.
-Phil Tippett, for dinosaur animation via stop-motion.
-Denis Muren, for compositing.
-Michael Lantieri, for on-set dinosaur interactive effects.
The original plan was the wide shots of Dinosaurs were gonna be done via stop-motion and use the animatronics for the medium/close-up shots. But Spielberg was so intent on making the dinosaurs look real that he felt Tippett's efforts were not convincing enough.
That was until Denis Muren offered a solution, as he was working at ILM supervising the effects of _Terminator 2: Judgement Day_ at the time and offered to do a test for Spielberg using CGI to make dinosaur shots. And the test they showed was so good that when Spielberg asked Tippett what he thought, the latter replied "...I think I'm extinct."
(Which Spielberg loved that response so much that he had it written as a line in the script)
But that didn't mean Tippett didn't have a place there anymore, as they made these armatures for specific dinosaurs with these input sensors on them that worked like a stop-motion puppet but translated the poses in the computer (so, think motion capture for stop-motion).
But even then, Spielberg knew the CGI wasn't going to be 100% flawless. So, he approached it the same way he approached miniatures- using harsh directional lighting to obscure the details as much as possible. As put by the folks at *Corridor Crew,* the genius of the T-Rex paddock attack scene is the limited lighting and the rain obscured the details on the CG T-Rex that would've given away that it wasn't real.
Let's not also forget about how both Hammond and Malcolm die in the book and the lawyer survives plus the subplot about grant wanting to find the raptor nest and count the eggs
@@JasonKreider-eq8kp Ian, although assumed dead at the end of the first book didn't succumb to his injuries and survived. Which is a bit fishy but that's how it was written in book 2.
Watched all 3 JP movies with my nephew of 11 years old, he loved the movies so immensely he memorized the theme song and started to hum it before we started watching JW1 a few weeks later and said, "It is so epic""
Never thought a kid so invested in Fortnite could appreciate something so beautifull which we grew up with. 😇
My sister’s 5 little boys all love these films too. It’s so cute and I hope my son loves them too.
He’s due Nov 7th and his nursery is fully decked in dinosaurs 😂 I attribute my love of dinosaurs to this film. 90s kids had some of the best movies and shows.
I went to a screening of this movie with a live orchestra playing the score and it was a phenomenal experience. John Williams never misses & the dinosaur thrills never get old.
John Williams is to Steven Spielberg what Danny Elfman is to Tim Burton.
What is amazing about the T Rex Jeep chase is that Ellie has never seen the Rex before, nor was she aware that it had escaped his paddock. So the pure terror she displays is also mixed with complete surprise, and absolutely spot on
I mean, she clearly saw the torn up fence.
This is such an exceptionally well written film, and I think it truly exemplifies the "perfect" summer blockbuster.
Every one of the characters has agency, has depth, they generally avoid playing into stereotypes. They communicate with each other like real, normal human beings do, and make decisions that any reasonable or rational person would make. Absolutely perfect character writing.
My favorite bit is the incorpation of little character quirks in a way that both usually has payoff and gives some identity to the characters. Dr. Grant's weird little hate relationship with children, in particular, is wonderful. They spend half the movie showing how little he thinks of kids as a concept, and the story perfectly enables him to learn and grow through his interactions with the kids.
One of my favorite memories is watching this when I was young on my grandparents' old fat booty big screen TV after my grandpa left for his night shift. Grandma made some stovetop popcorn and we had the volume up loud. I remember her saying "I forgot how good of a movie this is!"
Also, the book this film is based on is really, really good and really, really brutal.
That’s a sweet memory! Thank you for sharing with us. Love seeing how much this film means to people ❤️
This was one of those films when it was released and after the first viewing you KNEW it would be an iconic game changer in the history of film, it just hit every single element perfectly and filled people with wonder. That is magic that never goes away.
In all the other movies, Parks and Worlds, there is never a dino quite as iconic sounding as the Momma Rex.
Which is why its great that every movie featured Rexy.
Even paleontologists who debunk the dinosaur vocals admit these movies were fantastic.
@@Knightcowboy89Pretty sure they were different Rex's in 2 and maybe 3, no? Remember there are 2 islands.
Yes. There are multiple some of them are not seen in movie. In the lost world we have Buck and Doe and their child Junior. And in jp3 there's Bull who is the biggest rex of isla sorna
Or as a lot of other fans still call her, "Rexie." 😁😁😁 She was my favorite dinosaur in the film franchise. Blue, is my second favorite. I saw this film with my late parents when I was 12 and holy crap, was it a wild experience!!! The whole theatre floor shook every time Rexie stomped onto the screen. Jumped when the damn raptors kept popping up out of nowhere and to this day, at 43, still CANNOT watch Dennis Nedry's death scene. Call me weird stupid, silly, whatever, but I stand by my choice. The first time I allowed myself to watch it for the first time was when I was in my 20's. I never made that mistake again!!! I was traumatized. Yikes!!! But everything else I'm cool with. I've seen this film, I don't, at least 100 times since I was 12. And I turn 44 in October. Yeah, you can say I love JP. 😂😂😂 The second JP film is called "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" and only one of the Core 3 returns. "Jurassic Park 3" which get waaay too much unnecessary hate but I happen to love it and think it's 100x better than Jurassic Park: The Lost World," has two members of the Core 3 in it but one get a lot more screen time than the other. As for the "Jurassic World(s)" movies in the Jurassic Park franchise...I'll wait on that!!! I think I may have overloaded you two with information...and scrambled my brains in the process!!! Great reaction!!!
In case you guys didn’t know, the first Jurassic Park movie as well as Jurassic World are both filmed in Hawaii and you can actually book ATV tour there as well.
I saw this 6 times in theaters as a kid with different people almost every time. That's how epic it was. When CGI was brand 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... One of the greatest cinematic experiences. Don't forget Spielberg was working on Schindler's List at the same time as this...now that's chaos.
Spielberg said that water ripple was one of the hardest of the effects to figure out. They ended up strumming a guitar string under the dashboard.
Best part of Ian Malcolm is when he stops being an insufferable know it all & puts his life on the line to save Tim & Lex. Also gotta love how Alan goes from "i don't like kids" to literally placing himself between the kids & the raptors
It's such a clever detail that the floor of the walk-in freezer is icy because the power had been off, so the frost melted, and now the power is back on so it was refreezing on the floor.
What do you mean? The power wasn't even on yet when Tim was in the freezer
@JasonKreider-eq8kp by that point Ellie had restored power to the compound. The wet/defrosted floor in the freezer is probably due Hammond leaving the door open when he got the ice cream out.
you revisiting Jurassic Park like this reminds me of when I was in high school and we had to read through Julius Ceasar or Romeo and Juliet in class 🙄. then many years later, I decided to get a copy of each of those books and read through them again just for myself, and I got so much more out of them than I ever would have in school.
That is such a true feeling, it has happened to us many times where revisiting something when you're more mature, the meaning just resonates so much deeper. It's a wonderful thing to reread books/rewatch movies after a long time and see what you can learn from it this time around!
Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern used to be married in real life. This film was how they met. 😊
Whose Laura dern?
@@Escrima88she plays Dr Sadler
That's some lanky sex right there
They dated from 93 to 97 but where never married
22:31 According to the book, Dennis is being a lax computer operator because he's an a$$hole. He's actually one of Hammond's highest paid employees. He KNOWS that Hammond could afford to pay more. Dennis is just a money hungry guy.
The creepy choir when the raptor opens the kitchen door literally burned into my mind
Its like what you seeing is something "unholy"
As soon as that theme comes in...man oh man! If Steven Spielberg has not attributed at LEAST 23% of his success to John Williams, that is just a crime.
I'm thinking of the ERB line from Spielberg vs Hitchcock, "Half your billions should go to John Williams!"
One of the absolute biggest movies that came out in my lifetime.
Unbelievable that Spielberg made this movie and Schindlers list the same year 😲😲😲.
What a GOAT man 💪💪💪
I know right! I think Spielberg said that when he was doing post-production on Jurassic Park and pre production on Schindlers List at the same time, he had like a mini explosion in his head during that time because he doesn't remember a lot of it 😂 I can definitely understand that. Also I believe that Jurassic Park sweeped the technical Oscar's and Schindlers List swept a lot of the major awards like Best Picture, Writing and many more
