I'm glad you like JP :) It's my favorite movie! If you haven't already watched it, I recommend JW's Camp Cretaceous series (which, despite being more for kids, feels much more like a proper continuation of JP than the JW movies). Also, if you wanna learn about real dinos, I highly recommend Darren Naish's "Dinosaurs: How They Lived and Evolved" (the best adult intro to the whole story of dinos) & "Dinopedia: A Brief Compendium of Dinosaur Lore" (the best adult guide to dinos & their cultural impact since the 1970s).
Aw, you just show them the rolled up newspaper, displaying a strong, commanding attitude and they'll obey. They are, after all, only animals and God gave us dominion over them. Here, let me demonstraaaaaargh
_Jurassic Park_ is superb. The effects still hold up over thirty years later (thanks to a mix of practical dinosaurs and CGI ones) and the story, characters and performances are great.
The CG effects don't just hold up. They exceed most modern efforts. There were several scenes that I didn't know were real or computer until years later when I watched the BTS.
@@anthonyvasquezactorI think someone who’s original language isn’t English should get a pass though. They don’t know how to judge certain times that would be used, or the specific tone of voice used when saying it. Cut em some slack.
I mean.. it's also the way he says it. Sarcasm works better when the tone is clearly sarcastic. Nedry didnt say it out loud in your face. He was being soft spoken, to himself, about it. Which can absolutely read like a line that confirms a bad father son relationship without it being the focus. The delivery of the line is not obvious sarcasm. It can be read as such, but it can be read as something else as well. I didnt notice it was sarcasm when I watched it as a kid. I do now, but dont blame people for not noticing. Its not the most obvious sarcasm in the world.
@amberanime But if it was really his dad he’d have said it loudly to him, not say it to himself because he can’t tell off his boss. It’s always been clearly sarcasm to me.
It doesn't matter how often I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare. Side notes: The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects. The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf, koala, lion, tiger, and alligator vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death). The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds. The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and dolphin mating scream, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds. The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of an active fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s). The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a female horse in heat. A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart." Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.
Dennis: "You want food, I just fell down a hill, I am soaking wet I don't have any food" Diloposaurus: *Looking at Dennis* thinks "I bet your carcass will have a lot of food on it".
10:22 - When it comes to electricity, voltage does not do as much damage to the body as amperage. Voltage measures the pressure of electrical current, while amperage measures the volume of current. If the amperage were low enough, you could survive a very high voltage. Imagine standing in the middle of a small but fast-moving stream. The pressure of the water (analogous to voltage) is high, but the volume (analogous to amperage) is low, so you would probably be fine. Now imagine standing in the middle of a slow-moving but huge river. Even at a very slow speed, that volume of water would very easily carry you away.
Correct, but what determines amperage? The voltage! V = IR. Rearranging, we get I = V/R. So looking online, we may assume R = 100,000 Ohms for a dry human body. That's 100mA! While that sounds small, around 3-6 mA will stop your heart. 100mA is incredibly fatal. Not to mention the power dissipated would be P = (V^2)/R, or 1000 Watts! That's like the power a microwave is using. Dropping 10,000V across your body at 100mA would set you aflame!
Some behind the scenes(and paleontological) trivia: The lines "Looks like we're outta of a job" and "Don't you mean extinct?" was added because of the film originally gonna be featuring stop-motion dinosaurs done by Phil Tippett(known for his stop-motion work on the Star Wars original trilogy), until Spielberg was presented a CG-animation of a t-rex skeleton. Tippett reacted by saying "Looks like I'm out of a job", with Spielberg jokingly replying with "Don't you mean extinct?". Tippet was still kept on the project as a creature-advisor, instructing the animators and puppeteers on the dinosaurs' movements. The Velociraptor in the films is actually modeled after a wolf-sized relative named Deinonychus, because real-life Velociraptor was the size of a turkey and had a slimmer snout but they thought the name was cooler. And also, raptors were fully feathered, looking like eagles or hawks with teeth, hands and long tails. Raptors were assumed to have been pack-hunters like wolves because they have been found in groups next big herbivores, an idea challenged today due to studies of their overall intelligence. It's very likely they weren't intelligent enough to form elaborate packs but lived mainly solitary lives, and formed mobs when coming across an injured or trapped hebrivore in a manner similar to komodo dragons. One such scenario would be a big herbivore getting stuck in deep mud in search of water during a drought, which attracted starving raptors whom would also get stuck. While Tyrannosaurus rex has poor vision in the films, that was absoloutely not the case in real-life(it had vision as sharp as a hawk), nor would it stomp loudly when walking. T-rex was an ambush hunter, so you wouldn't hear it coming unless it stepped on branches. Fortunately, it wouldn't be able to keep up with a full-speed Jeep as it was a short-distance sprinter and could only reach speeds 10-40 miles per hour. Though it was very maneuverable. Muldoon, the lawyer, I feel was done dirty in the film, because he's an absolute CHAD in the novel xD edit: I meant Gennero 😂
Muldoon is the Park ranger. :P The lawyer's name is Gennero. And yes, he was shafted a bit. They needed to slim down the cast a bit and the characterization of Ed Regius was given to Gennaro.
I remember the initial scene with the 1st dinosaur from the cinema. They did that scene so well with the delayed anticipation. The were a lot of Ooos and Aaahs when the camera finally swivels to show the actual dinosaur. And the thump from the massive subwoofers made the seats shake when the animal dropped back on its front legs. So well done. I guess everyone in the cinema was completely mesmerized at that moment. And the roar from the T-Rex in the cinema ... ear shattering and when it ran after the Jeep the seats rattled again in rhythm with the T-Rex' steps. Unforgettable experience.
elena i grew up with this movie in the past im 1991 born i seen it 2 times in theatres/cinema in 2013 and 2023, it gives the idea how ancient nature was before humanity.
Hi Elena! Your reactions to this movie are perfect. I just wish I could send you back in time so you could see it in the cinema when it first came out. It was absolutely spectacular.
The special effects in this movie, including among the first extensive CGI, were jaw-dropping at the time. For years and years, dinosaur movies either had stop-action claymation creatures (like in the 1933 King Kong) or they would film a gila monster from a low angle and project up big behind the actors. But it is important to note that while some of the latest scientific discoveries at the time were incorporated the story, the science itself has moved so far beyond, probably more in the three decades since then by comparison to all the dinosaur knowledge from the 1-1/2 centuries up to that point. I can't recommend the two series of Prehistoric Planet for the latest - will blow your mind. (The series are available on RU-vid.)
To be honest, when I was five years old, Dennis sarcastically calling Hammond "dad" confused me too. But I wasn't familiar with sarcasm when I was little.
Your reaction there at 11:13-11:14 is one of the reasons why this movie is still loved and amazing after 30 years. It’s a movie that I don’t ever get bored of watching. Really happy you loved and enjoyed it.
It´s an incredible film, part of my childhood!! For me a masterpiece. The book who inspired it, by Michael Crichton, who also was screenplayer here, it´s even better. A lot of philosophy and "orwellian" atmospheres.
Dr. Grant tying his seatbelt with two heads of the same type is foreshadowing how "life finds a way" with dinosaurs of the same sex finding a way to mate. And the special effects were mostly all practical effects - the T-Rex was made with animatronics and the raptors were actors in suits.
I saw this in the theatre twice, the second in the IMAX Cinesphere in Toronto. Front row sets. The T-Rex chase scene is burnt into my brain as the most memorable movie theatre experience. Looking up at the T-Rex chasing us in the Jeep from the road POV was unreal!
Great Reaction Elena Rea! I too am a big fan of Dinosaurs! I was always fascinated with Godzilla and King Kong! As a kid from the 60’s we had cartoons like The Herculoids and King Kong as well Jurassic Park is as good as it got for 90’s technology! My favorite is the first and the three Jurassic World’s but two and three are nail bitters nonetheless! Thanks for your great Reaction!🦖🙏🏻
I was 5 years old when I first watched this movie. You may not believe it, but I watched this movie in the cinema. At the age of 5, my father took me into a secret movie. I was very impressed by the movie. It came into my dreams for 2 weeks😁 I was 35 years old now. I think it's one of the best movies ever. A great movie that won the Oscar in all categories.
Jurassic Park is the best one. Not even close. It is an iconic movie. The others vary between decently good down to completely mediocre. I'd say that The Lost World and Jurassic World are both worth watching.
At 41:20 ..... "Danger! Danger! High Voltage!".... I laughed so hard. I'm a fan of Electric Six, and that was hilarious! Hahaha! Awesome reaction. Keep watching all the Jurassic movies, they are so fun and adventurous. :)
They should make a Paleozoic version of Jurassic Park, showing animals from the Cambrian period to the early Triassic, like the creatures from Walking with Monsters.
"Why do people like working at night?" I can't speak for everyone, but I have a naturally nocturnal sleep cycle, which makes me more comfortable being awake overnight than I am during daytime, if the sun's up I never quite feel like I've woken up properly. And alongside that, I have a relatively mild light sensitivity which leaves me with better vision on a dark night than I have in bright daylight.
27:47 The girl took off her cap in the car and did not wear it again. Why? Then, when they were running away, she no longer protected herself from the sun.
I first saw this movie in theaters when I was 11 years old. It was my first sorta "scary" movie and I was a little nervous about it. I ended up loving it, and I still love it! :D
The CGI in this was mind-blowing in 1993. The combination of practical effects and CGI still holds up today on film, something few contemporary efforts could still say.
0:47 As a film, yes, the first one is the best. The others are often called “bad” films but I personally think they’re only “bad” in comparison to the first, which is honestly not a fair comparison. They’re not in the same league.
Fun fact, when the T-rex broke through the roof of the car roof with the kids, the robot dinosaur malfuntioned and was not supposed to break through so the kids being scared and screaming was real
Enjoyed your reaction very much. I would definitely recommend the whole series of Jurassic movies, although this one is probably still the very best of them. Glad I found you, I really like your observations and thoughts.
John Williams' score on this film was brilliant. My friend had a pieced-together sound system that was tuned in perfectly for orchestra and you could just sit and listen to the JP soundtrack CD in the dark and catch every single nuance of every instrument. The haunting sounds from the raptor attack at the beginning could scare the hell out of you as you were starting to drift off to sleep at night.
Fun Fact: The scene where the T-Rex busted through the car's roof was an accident, the animatronic malfunctioned due to the rain and fell, so the kid's fear and stuff was real
They wernt real at all. Stop spreading this garbage exaggerated story that isn’t true. Every idiot keeps copying this comment and passing it off as fact. Stop being dumb
When they climb up through the ceiling, there are dots of light shining through the ceiling tiles, but they changed these to be letters, specifically G, A, T, T, A, C, A These letters represent Nucluic bases of the Human Genome! A little DNA joke by the effects guys! 😂😂😂
Those are the nucleic bases of all life on Earth that uses DNA, not just humans. But yes. In fact, I heard that was supposed to be the DNA of the Raptors
Small side information, the 10,000 volts that are written on the fence sign are not really dangerous. The dangerous thing is the joules, in a normal device they are between 5-10 joules, in zoos devices with around 15 joules are used and they all have 10,000 volts - 12,000 volts. 5 joules is enough to make an adult cow kneel and even 10 joules aren't necessarily fatal, but they'll knock you out. But you should definitely go to the doctor afterwards! Safe is Safe 😹
Hi Elena, always great to see one of my favorite up and coming reactors! This was a ground braking film when it came out, being the most realistic film about dinosaurs ever seen.🤯 Unfortunately, DNA does not survive that long. So, getting dinosaur blood from mosquitos would not work. Nedry who stole the dinosaur embryos was not Hammond's son. That was just American sarcasm. While most people recognize this as the best Jurassic Park film, the sequels do offer some impressive dinosaur effects that are worth a watch. Great reactions to your very first Jurassic Park film, Elena!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
Getting funding for paleontogical digs is notoriously difficult, that's why they are experimenting with ground penetrating radar. A lot of the dinosaurs in the movie are accurate to what they knew and theorised at the time, since then more discoverries have been make and theories revised. They knew Velociraptors were not that big, bur they preferred that named to Deinonyuchus a close relative that was nearer the size in the movie.
10:20 "Ten thousand volts? What damage would it do if someone hits that gate?" Nothing. The gate is not electrified. It is meant for humans to open and close the gate, you see a man doing that. So the people who built it didn't wire the electricity to the gate. But what about the fence? Well, 10,000 volts is almost meaningless when we talk about damage or death from electricity. The amperage is more important. Tasers are designed to stun a human without killing them and usually operate at 50,000 volts but less than 0.02 amps. That 5x the voltage of the fence. We don't know the amperage of the fence in the movie, but real life electric fences run typically around 7,500 volts at 0.1 amps. Humans can touch those and not die - they're meant to keep animals or people from climbing them or squeezing through them, but not to be lethal. Now, if that fence puts out 10,000 volts at, say, even 1 amp, that would almost certainly be a lethal shock to any person standing on the ground.
Now looking back at this movie in retrospective, it gain points in accuracy in the dinosaurs at that time, even that Spielberg was stupid not to include the Raptor having feathers even that already was certain at the time, also, Spielberg changed the Deinonychus for the Velociraptor because he trough that his audience was stupid, but this movie not gain any points by glorifying Hammond and making Nedry the villain, Nedry was being blackmail and basically was a slave to Hammond, Hammond was the villain in the book, not Nedry, but not even Spielberg could hide Hammond greed seeing how the fences were constructed.
For anyone scared of the dinosaur shown in the series, be not afraid, as the interpretations of the animals are far from accurate, if you want accuracy, I recommend prehistoric planet, although it’s not 100% accurate, it’s better than what’s shown by Spielberg
9:38 Now that is in your head, it doesn't go away. Fun fact: 42:55 was not acting, Laura Dern had no idea that puppet was going to jump out at her. 48:18 Yeah, Alan Grant was based on real men. So many guys in real life always have everything bad to say about kids how they are messy and expensive. (It's easer to see that maternal instinct in women) But once those same guys are stuck spending time with kids they often turn out to be good fathers.
Fun fact: we were originally going to see Ray Arnold and what happened to him but that had to be cut due to a huge storm happening at the set where the scene would’ve taken place and the storm destroyed the set so they chose to make due with what they could
Hi a film suggestion for you called....Your name. It is a Japanese anime film and is considered to be a truly beautiful masterpiece of a film as you will see why!! Also the theme song at the end is famous too!!I hope you love it as much as I do ok!!❤👏🙌🙏👍🎉
When it said they had to use some frog DNA to fill in the missing places I don't think it would ever be possible to make the dinosaurs exactly how they used to be I think it would make weird dinosaur like freaks who had lots of health problems
-Which is exactly what happens in the books. The dinosaurs have all manner of health problems. There is a hint of this in the second movie, when right after the tall grass scene, you see the characters pass through a dino graveyard. Probably a longer scene got cut there.
@@ImaculataYup. Things like the raptors' hyperaggression and the Rex's poor vision are the result of the gene splicing. Although I believe the graveyard in _The Lost World_ was hinting at the DX prion disease that's slowly killing off the dinos in the novel.
Heres a fun fact. Or, rather a _not so_ fun fact. While they were filming, a Catagory 4 Hurricane, Hurricane Iniki, made landfall. During the storm, Spielberg (The absolute madman) grabbed a handheld camera, went out _into Hurricane strength winds_ and captured footage. Specifically, the footage of the storm surge of the hurricane battering at the Costal Walls. Unfortunately, Iniki did require a few script edits, as pretty much all of the sets on the island had been destroyed by the hurricane. For example, Arnold _was_ supposed to have a proper death scene, but the exterior sets for the Power Bunker had been destroyed. Thankfully, there was at least one scene in the film that they needed to film and was one that didn't need sets: The Gallimimus Stampede scene. To close off this little tale, the crew of Jurassic Park did assist in the clean up post-Iniki. Turns out, having a team of set builders that need to construct buildings safe enough for actors to be in, climb on, and interact with tend to have some pretty heafty equipment for moving debris and setting up temporary shelters.
10000 Volts won't kill you if it's just a quick zap unless it's continuous, but that number alone is not very helpful without the Amperes, it matters more.
Or is it just me, but looking at the filter quality of the movie tells me you are watching the VHS movie Jurassic Park. Which I love and prefer more than the recent remastered DVD filter quality of the movie.
Some mistakes : Trex vision was not motion driven , and his walk was very silent and he lack an hyoid so was unable to roar , still could made sounds very low but scary look in yt for that
Look back at this movie I can't help but think there should be more safety features on the pens for example lion pens at zoos are in the ground and tend to have moats or pits around them
There were in the film, but they're just offhandedly mentioned. "The 10 thousand miles of perimeter fence are in place?" "And the Concrete moats, and the Motion Sensor tracking system." Technically, we see a moat in the film top (The Rex paddock) but obviously there was a major design flaw.
I liked the scene where Lex was hacking the computer to get everything working. I got a movie reaction suggestion for you it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
Of course Nature did not select dinosaurs for extinction - they were unlucky enough to be around when the Earth was hit by an asteroid that wiped out a large proportion of life on the planet. That could happen to anyone. And the avian dinosaurs (birds) survived. No, Hammond is not Nedry's father in case you're wondering. He's just using the word "dad" to be sarcastic.
In the helicopter, Alan Grant had two female ends of the seat belt, but still found a way to make it work. The dinosaurs were all female, but life still found a way to make it work
My order of preference for Jurassic Park content: -first book -second movie -first movie -second book -that one hilariously bad game from the 90s made by the people who made Flight Unlimited -pretend nothing else exists because basically everything else is either an out-of-production toy or as horrible as that one game but without the redeeming quality of being hilarious with it.
Hammond, played by the late great Sir Richard Attenborough - a brilliant director in his own right and brother of broadcaster and biologist Sir David Attenborough. 😊🇬🇧
I thikn the film tries t raise those questions you mentioned, but it fails because it doesn't ask the right questions. The primary problem is Ian Malcolm; he doesn't know what he's talking about, and gets a lot of it just plain wrong. To expand: The scene with Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler, and the water droplet is a prime example of the complete misrepresentation of Chaos Theory in Jurassic Park. Actual Chaos Theory, contrary to what's depicted, is about finding underlying order in what appears to be randomness, not the simplistic notion of unpredictability demonstrated here. In the scene, Malcolm uses the water droplet to illustrate how tiny variations can lead to different outcomes (the idea that tiny, microscopic variations in Sattler's skin will make the second water droplet take a different path down her hand and arm than the first). However, this is a superficial and incorrect portrayal. True Chaos Theory involves understanding that even systems that appear random are governed by rules and patterns, albeit complex ones. It's about the sensitivity to initial conditions, not just random divergence. Moreover, Malcolm outright blurs the lines between different scientific disciplines, leading to a muddled representation of the concepts depicted. He critiques the park's use of genetic engineering and cloning, but his arguments conflate different scientific concepts. Evolution is a process of change in species over generations through natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow. The creation of dinosaurs in Jurassic Park is more about genetic engineering than evolution, which is a substantially different concept. Put simply, evolution is a bottom-up reaction process, while genetic engineering is a top-down design process. Malcolm fails to distinguish the two and in so doing undercuts his very own arguments. In essence, Malcolm offers a skewed and overly simplistic view of science, particularly Chaos Theory. Through him, the movie is trying to make John Hammond and his scientists the "bad guys", but Malcolm doesn't actually understand what they're doing, so his arguments are spurious and thus irrelevant. Malcolm is intended to be the skeptical voice of reason, questioning the ethics and safety of the park. However, his skepticism veers into outright cynicism and lacks the constructive critique that real scientific skepticism embodies. In science, skepticism is about questioning hypotheses and testing them, not outright dismissal without evidence. Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant, while both scientists, themselves, don't really argue from points of science in the movie. Their concerns are rooted in morality and ethics, which are inherently subjective and thus difficult to objectively refute. The character who I find really interesting is Donald Gennaro, the lawyer. Interestingly, we're seemingly meant to dislike him, yet he arguably exhibits the most rational behavior among the main characters. His primary concern is safety--a perfectly reasonable stance considering the unprecedented nature of Jurassic Park, with its real-life, resurrected dinosaurs about which next to nothing is really known. Gennaro's readiness to shut down the park at any sign of danger to park-goers is not just rational; it's a necessary precaution in such an uncharted venture. What makes Gennaro particularly interesting is his objective and rational approach. He listens to John Hammond's explanations of the park's safety features and observes them firsthand. He doesn't dismiss evidence or deny the possibility that the park could be made safe. This open-minded yet cautious approach is, really, more scientific than Malcolm's by leagues. While Malcolm gets caught up in theoretical discussions about chaos and the ethical implications of genetic engineering, all of which he completely misunderstands, Gennaro focuses on tangible evidence and practical concerns. In this sense, Gennaro embodies a more scientific approach than Malcolm. He assesses the situation based on observable facts and a clear understanding of the risks involved, rather than getting lost in philosophical debates and pretending he knows more than he really does.

Excellent Reaction!!! I'm so happy that you watched this. Jurassic Park will be a timeless classic. The story, characters, effects, score all perfect. Jurassic Park still holds the record in my life for one movie I saw 3 times is theaters as a kid. Just imagine how the T-Rex breakout scene was in a theater. The sequel The Lost World of Jurassic Park is the only worthy sequel in my opinion. I recommend you should check it out. Thank you for another great reaction Elena. Can't wait for the next video. Keep up the Fantastic Work👍👍❤❤😊😊
I just subscribed because I like your reaction to this film so much. 🙂 The audio is also very good in your video as well. The audio is especially good at 30:30 ; 30:36 ; 32:47 ; 43:38 ; 47:36
