FIRST Jurassic Park (1993) Film!! *First Time Watching* 

"You see velociraptors are pack hunters, he uses coordinated attack patterns, but what velociraptor is most known for is his impeccable sense of comedic timing

Back in the 90's, the moment the characters first saw that realistic looking brachiosaur was also the first time any audience had seen a realistic looking dinosaur of any kind. That newness of the experience for everyone is what's missing now.

The first CGI organic creatures. The wide shots of the T- Rex in the rain still look incredible! 🦖

Ah, the very first movie I saw in a cinema, at the tender age of 4. I remember I couldn't shut up about the dinosaurs on the way back home.

"Maybe the T-Rex adopted him" I love your positivity!

I love the irony of "spared no expense," when him not helping out one guy with money issues brought down the whole operation.

"We spared no expense!"... Except on a better gate system for the Raptor cage!!! Lol

"Paint like one of your French girls pose" I'm dead!😂

The acting from the kids in this movie deserves more love. Kid actors definitely make or break movies for me

The very first film in the franchise is like lighting in a bottle! The sequels don’t hold a candle to this modern classic!

When a film from 30 years ago looks better than modern films with a lot of computer graphics... Golden classic action film!

Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster...." Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "MUST GO FASTER!!!"

Feeling the T-Rex footsteps in the theaters seats...while seeing ripples in the water (done by using a guitar string underneath the dashboard) was one of the most intense cinematic experiences ever. I saw this 6 times in theaters with different people every time, that's how epic it was. Absolutely perfect combinations of practical and CGI, before they completely relied.

"Do they have beef then?" Yes, the T-Rexes and V-Raptors are like the Bloods & Crips of the Mesozoic Era :P

You have to understand how MIND BENDING watching this in theaters was at the time. They didn't look CGI, they didn't act, CGI, and the mix of CGI and life sized animatronics was unbelievable for the time. It felt like you were watching real live dinosaurs on the screen.

imagine being a kid, one of the first times ever going to the cinema and seeing this movie... just imagine how far ylur chin would hit the floor that was me many years ago lol and that soundtrack is ingrained into my brain forever!!

"What are the dinosaurs doing inside?" Eatin' people

"This film is morbid! I thought it was a kids' film!" Maybe my parents also thought so, cuz they took me to watch it it theaters when it was released. I was four. It was the first movie I ever watched on the big screen. Still love it.

Apparently because the movie was that popular, high in demand, some theatres were showing it for a full year 😳

For sure keep watching these! And be aware that the next one is on a different island. So many people miss that

Funny you mention the dinos lacking the ability to smell. If you take notice, all the dinos in the park are ill. The triceratops was dying, the rex couldn't smell Lex and Grant, then Lex was sneezed on, and then the raptor sneezed in the window in the kitchen. The books explain how the animals were getting sick from eating the islands vegetation.

You’re the first Jurassic Park reactor I have seen so far to interpret that scene of Alan throwing away the raptor claw the same way I did when I first saw this movie: it shows he was starting to like kids. That object he used in the beginning to terrify a kid who annoyed him and represented almost everything he said he hated about children was discarded by his own hand, showing his dislike of kids was starting to disappear.

This is my favorite film in the entire Jurassic series (including the new trilogy). But rewatching again as an adult really makes you realize that the whole movie is basically just poor little Timmy having the worst luck possible and constantly almost dying but somehow managing to evade death. Like…gets trapped in the car and flung over the cliff - survives ; gets electrocuted with 10k volts - comes back to life ; spoon drops in the kitchen and gives away his position to the raptors - manages to out run it and lock it in the freezer ; falls off the dinosaur display in the museum and nearly gets crushed to death - saved by a fake rock ; gets surrounded by raptors - saved by a TRex….😅

I had to laugh, knowing what was coming. When you said eww for touching the tongue. 😂😂

Tim: Look how much blood. Alyska: That kid needs to have a checkup. Alyska in the same time: laughs at all death scenes.

Alyce: *watches the one Jurassic Park movie that could be classified as horror* Also Alyce: *laughing all the way through it*

Dr. Grant yelling at the Trex with "HEY"!!! is so iconic and fights well with the development of his character as a person who doesn't want a kid yet

Wow you talked right through one of the best goosebump moments in all of film. Great job

My dad actually met the kid who played Tim. He drove him to the set of a movie he was working on. The movie was called, "Starkid" if I remember correctly. My dad said he was very shy.

I'm so glad I was able to see this back on the big screen for the movie's 30th anniversary re-release

This movie revolusionized the vfx industry, and even today, almost 31 years on, it still holds up far better than anything Hollywood has put out in recent years. There are actual differences between the practical effects anamatronic model of the rex and the digital model; one has more teeth than the other (I can't remember which). All or most of the close up shots of the animals were live-action anamantronic models, only scenes where the ENTIRE animals' bodies were visible on screen were digital, except for the Triceratops, as it didn't really need to move. The scene with the Triceratops was actually the first scene they filmed for the movie. Yes there are some plotholes that are never explained (like how did Rexy get into the VC without being seen or heard), and in the shot where Lex almost falls out of the airvet, when she looks up during the overhead shot, you can clearly see it isn't Arianna Richards, but rather her stunt-double. (Richards also played Mindy in the first Tremors movie in 1990 and the third one in 2001) There was an article by the movie's sound director back in 2015 where he revealed how he got most of the animal sounds for this movie: The T-rex roar is a baby elephant, the gallimimus squels are those of a mare in heat trying to attract stallions, the bark the raptor makes when it first enters the kitchen is apparently from a mating tortoise. The chirps and calls the raptors make are a dolphin, and the hiss that one that kills muldoon makes, that's the hiss of a very angry swan or goose. The effect of the water ripples was created by plucking a guitar string under the glass in the car, and again in the footprint. Fun (and sad) fact: That braccy we see there, at 7:06 which is the first dinosaur clearly seen in this movie, is the SAME ONE that we see in Fallen Kingdom standing on the beach calling out to the boats as the island burns underneath and around her. And this T-rex is the same one we see in Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom and Dominion (as well as Camp Cretaceous, the netflix animated series bridging JW and FK). Nedry: What do you want? Huh? You want food? I don't have any food. I have no food on me. Dilophosaurus: You ARE the food.

This movie is 30 years old. When it premiered, a 30 years old movie was 8 1/2, Cleopatra or Hitchcock's The Birds...

Kids now a days, always watch the new films before the original. Jurassic Park is literally the only best Jurassic Park movie!👍🏽

Man, I love this movie since I was little, one of the best work from Steven Spielberg. Best line from best character Ian Malcolm: "your scientists are so preoccupied on whether or not they could, didn't stop to think if they should."

Saw this at my local cinema recently, they sometimes play older movies. And at the moment from 42:53 some woman SCREAMED!!! and everyone in the audience cheered cus we knew it was coming hahaha

The use of animatronic puppets like the trex was nornal and they looked so real in this movie compared to previous films.. It was also at time where CGI was a very new technology. And Jurassic Park was one of the first to do this almost real looking CGI (for the time) which blew everyone's minds away. It really was like we were looking at real dinosaurs.

This movie was special to many people who saw it in the theaters because seeing the dinosaurs for the first time was almost as amazing to the audience (because of the special effects during that time) as the characters in the movie. Now, CGI is all over and normal. I don't think it would have the same reaction for someone watching it for the first time these days.

I was a 17 dinophile when this movie came out, and had read the book. The first time they showed the sauropods, in the famous scene with Sam Neill turning Laura Dern's head, I was utterly stunned! This was early, early on computer effects, and none of us knew what to expect. That it still holds up 30 years later shows how good a job they did blending in the new effects with traditional effects, and with just telling a hell of a story! Love, love, LOVE this movie - always have and always will!

The trick to avoiding the long queue to the Coliseum is to join one of the tours. The tour leaders typically sport an umbrella so you can find them in the crowds. Tour guides have pre-purchased a lot of tickets in advance so they'll get in faster. Once you're in, you can just abandon the tour and go about on your own.

< person being mauled > < laughs uncontrolably >

Fun Dinosaur Facts: Velociraptor was in real life 2 feet tall and 6 feet long, so about the size of a dog. But the author picked them because it’s a cool name. Also couple years after this movie came out it was discovered that all raptors had feathers, even long feathers on their arms like wings. T-Rex did not have bad vision, it’s sight was actually great. But it’s true that at 9000 pounds per square inch it did have the strongest bite force of any land animal that ever existed. Dilophosaurus was not that small, both in the book and in real life it was over 2 meters tall, 7 meters (23 feet) long, and weighed up to 400 kilograms (880 pounds). Also it didn’t spit venom. It was still a fearsome predator. In fact in the book Nedry is cut across the belly by a Dilophosaurus which disemboweled him and ate him alive.

😂😂😂 I'm in ‏‪8:25‬‏ of the video and I can't stop laughing 😂

Great choice ! One of the best 90s movies of all time. A huge summer blockbuster!

The dinosaur expert on site during the making of the movie, Jack Horner if I remember correctly, once commented that people would often ask him what dinosaurs actually looked like. He would tell them to watch Jurassic Park.

As a dinosaur nerd, Jurassic Park is one of my favourite movie franchises of all time! I'd definitely recommend watching the others because, although they aren't as good as the first one, they're still great in their own right.

Hey Alyska. Congratulations on your wedding. I'm on holiday at the moment. Went through Pompeii and climbed Vesuvius today. Something you just have to do one day if you are interested in lost cities. They told us it will take 100 years to fully dig up the city. I really enjoy your vids. Keep them coming - but make sure you get holiday time too. Off to Rome tomorrow.

Mean ladies, all those dinos.

I laughed too when Timmy flew from the fence.

*Fun Fact* - Spielberg wanted Harrison Ford to play the lead in this movie, but he turned it down. He felt it could have been too similar to Indiana Jones.

JP Worker: *gets brutally eaten by a velocirraptor* Reactor: 😂😂😂

Alan Grant is not Ellie's husband. Although this movie doesn't clarify their relationship, in the original novel Ellie Sattler was just a graduate student studying under Dr. Grant.

I saw this in theaters when it was originally released (yes I’m old 😂). Blew us all away and still holds up!!

The sound of the velociraptor eating the cow was actually done by having director Steven Spielberg really close to the microphone.

‏‪23:50‬‏ lol yes 😂 they all play mind games

LOL The repercussions are what movies 2 and 3 are about.

One of my favorite movie from my childhood. An all time classic

*_The following sequel is even better!_*

My favorite Goldblum movie is the Fly remake from the 80s. I went on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios, Florida.

Does anyone remember that part from the book, when Alan Grant discovers a dinosaur egg shell, immediately identifies it as Velociraptor, then when the computer goes crazy and counts more than the expected numbers of animals, the biggest increase in the raptor population?😳

You know how little boys tend to have a phase around 5 to 10 years old where they either love action figures or dinosaurs? Well, I was definitely a dinosaur kid, and this movie happened to come out right around the time I was at the peak of my dino phase. My parents bought me this movie when it came to VHS, and I remember watching it so much I wore out the tape and they had to buy me the movie again. 😅

7:12 This moment is the greatest theater moment of my life. I always loved dinosaurs. I grew up watching movies that did not have CGI - if they wanted dinosaurs, or King Kong, or Godzilla, well, it was a mechanical puppet or a man in a suit. In 1993, this was the first moment that anybody had ever used CGI like this, on this scale, for things that looked real. My mind was blown the same way Dr. Grant and Dr. Sadler had their minds blown. I've seen thousands of movies in my life, but sitting in that theater on June 11, 1993, and seeing that moment was truly the most amazing, most breathtaking moment I've ever experienced in a movie theater, before or since.

You should look up what dinosaurs really sound like, very creepy sounds.

Great reaction. I saw this when it first came out in the theaters. At the same time, Barney was also blowing up and being merchandised to death. I worked retail back then. I cannot tell how many parents I heard complaining everywhere about the graphic nature of the film. They thought it was going to be a family film and something akin to a live version of Barney😂

been waiting on this one. i haven't watched many others in the franchise, but i really liked this one, and the books the movies were based on.

One of my favorite movies!!! The book is really good too.

I remember thinking they might find Bif Tannon in the pile of poop

2:59 When this movie came out in 1993, scientists were only just barely coming around to the idea that birds had all evolved from dinosaur survivors rather than from some other lizard, so the thought that dinosaurs like T. rex might have had feathers or other avian traits wasn't yet common.

I like the foreshadowing through the start. "Spared no expense". But the seatbelt on the helicopter is installed wrong, the theatre safety rail can be pushed open, the tour car doors can open. And of course Nedry probably has a legit complaint of being underpaid. They really did built a park around this sensation before they actually knew how to build a park around it. PS: The scientist they talk to, Dr Henry Wu is the same scientist in Jurassic World.

Timmy gets electrocuted. Alyska: He went flying 😂😂😂

Yeah…there was a whole scene earlier in the film saying what Dennis Nedry was doing.. stealing embryos for a competing company

MY #1 FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!

When Jurassic Park came out, George Lucas said that CGI technology had finally gotten to the point where he could start making the Star Wars prequels.

How Nick Fury lost an arm is much more badass than how he lost his eye.

Glad you visited my humble little city. Hope you enjoyed your stay, despite the rain. 😁

This girl really lived under a rock her whole life!!! 😂

This and its immediate sequel The Lost World, were adapted from the Michael Crichton novels of the same name. After this are five more films, a short film and soon to be two animated shows

Jeff Goldblum 😎

Hi Alyce, nice to see you!😊 DNA does not survive long enough for us to be able to create dinosaurs. It only took one asteroid impacting the Earth in Mexico and many volcano eruptions to kill off the dinosaurs and change the Earth's climate over a period of a million years. Great reactions to the original Jurassic Park, Alyce!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 The sequels do have something to offer!😉

"I thought this was a kids film" 🤣 - So did all of us who watched it in the cinema, our parents where like... bugger.

Classic, the dinosaurs still hold up to this day and that soundtrack is S tier. Huge part of my childhood and my personal favorite of all the Jurassic films

So the children will need therapy forever and I am pretty sure their parents are going to have a "No more weekends with Grandpa" policy.

"This is a violent film with gruesome deaths". Wait till you watch the Lost World

Check out the movies King Kong(2005), Deep Blue Sea(1999), Tremors(1990), The Goonies(1985), Jumanji(1995), and Predator(1987).

30:54 "Maybe he's still up there and the T. rex adopted him." Exactly! The sequel to this film will be an animated family movie called "Timmy and the T. rex"! 😁

This film is a masterpiece. Shame the sequels dropped the ball every time, especially ignoring the obvious threads left open (the relationship of main characters and that shaving canister) that get a mention in Part VI!

This movie ranked at #95 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo

This movie started my dinosaur obsession with books, figures/toys, plushies, even wanted to be a paleontologist when i grew up, it also lead me to the Godzilla Fandom. Which i have a spino & raptor tatt on my thigh, which im gonna get zilla (from the animated series) and some of the othet kaiju tatted above

This movie was ahead of its time. It came out three years before scientists successfully cloned a sheep in 1996.

I've never heard anyone say that the Velociraptors have good comedic timing. Now I can only imagine a stand up comedian raptor. "I was at a restaurant with my T-Rex buddy and he asked why they were serving the Triceratops first. I explained it's because he was herbivorous. Waka waka waka!"

Fun Fact, Alyska: Sam Neill (Dr. Grant) was considered to play Indiana Jones, while Harrison Ford was considered for Dr. Grant!

The mosquito was in crystallized. He was encased in Amber, which is petrified ancient tree sap.

The cuts between the CGI T-Rex & the full scale puppet are still stunning for today’s standards. Fun Fact: when the vehicle is on its roof & the T-Rex bites the tyres, the entire vehicle is CGI as well. ILM had used Terminator 2 & also The Young Sherlock Holmes (a much underrated films!!) as a proving ground for whether they could pull off a full CG character. Originally, they were going to have the dinosaurs animated using stop motion. Whether this is an Easter Egg or not, Dennis Nedry wears several outfits identical to characters in The Goonies…Yellow Raincoat - Mikey, Hawaiian Shirt - Chunk, Grey Jacket - Mouth. Also, the late Richard Attenborough who played John Hammond is the brother of the legendary naturalist Sir David Attenborough.

The t-Rex was a full size animatronic. The scene where the trex’s nose is against the glass wasn’t planned so the screams from the kids were genuine

This is in my 5 favourite Movies of all time, alongisde The Dark Knight, A Street Cat Named Bob, Bambi and Forest Gump, Jurassic Park is No. 4

My favorite from the series is the sequel, Lost World: Jurassic Park. But it’s hard to deny how great the first film is. Growing up as a 90’s kid, this was the first dinosaur movie that used convincing CGI and practical effects; before JP most of all dinosaur movies were either claymation or cartoon. JP was the first time dinosaurs were depicted realistically in a major film. I know that’s why it mattered to me so much as a kid, I would rewind the VHS so much and wear it out lol 😂

Because I'm part of a Jurassic Park themed Facebook group, I once asked a question about the movie when it came out on rental VHS tapes, for some folks they had difficulty locating video stores that still had rental copies, because it was nuts and everyone wanted to see it.

I'm still kicking myself for not going to that island when I went to Hawaii! It was an option in our vacation package when I went.

I saw this on release in the cinema.. 9 year old me loved it.

Rip to Stan Winston. Would’ve been a very different movie without him

All these Jurassic films and not one swimming Rex! Edit- I would also recommend reading the book.
