Jurassic Park (1993) is so AWESOME!!! Movie Reaction | First Time Watching 

"You're going to need a bigger goat." 😂😂😂

I think the line "your scientists were so concerned with if they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" now applies to AI. Great reaction. Thanks.

As a kid, I was fascinated with dinosaurs, absolutely loved them. My two older brothers still tease me about it to this day, more than 20 years later. Jurassic Park is just a pure classic.

The thing that amazes me is how well the special effects hold up 30 years later. A lot of movies that have come since have surprisingly bad special effects, either because they were rushed or they were used too much. Jurassic Park followed the rule that less is more.

I watched this on it's opening run in theaters in 1993. It is the kind of movie with the music and the action that truly rewards the theater experience.

09:14 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.

Your reaction to the first adult dinosaur they get to touch is what I remember from when this movie was in theaters. So many folks had an "awww" reaction in that moment. I also feel like there's huge respect when the guy says "clever girl." You can tell he respected being outsmarted by this dino.

I saw this 6 times in theaters as a kid...that's how EPIC it was. It was a perfect balance of fetal CGI and beautiful actual effects. Lost arts Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster..."🦖 Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "Must GO FASTER!" 👽

My Grandpa was an engineer that did accident reconstruction and had to appear in court a lot to testify. This was his favorite movie "Because the lawyer gets eaten by the dinosaur."

Literally feeling the T-Rex's steps while seeing the vibrating cup of water...was one of the most intense cinematic experiences ever. This is my first time with you and subscribed

The creature maker, Stan Winston, who was also responsible for the Terminator endoskeletons in the Terminator films, created actual animatronic dinosaurs for the actors to interact with when CGI wasn't used.

One of my favorite movies ever. But you know what? THE BOOK IS EVEN BETTER. There’s so much great stuff in the book they couldn’t fit in the film, including a lot more on the science end. Awesome book.

I saw this when was 9 yrs old. I remember my friends getting scared, but because I had already seen movies like Aliens and Predator by then. I just thought was awesome. This movie is always fun to re-watch.

What's hysterical is Timmy is the only human to kill a velociraptor- he locks it in the freezer. The others are killed by the T Rex.

Thirty years later, and the dinosaurs in this movie are still amazing.

Michael Chriton wrote this as a horror, and to an extent so is the movie, but Spielberg and John Williams added this whole layer of wonder and joy to it. Even at the end despite everything, there's still a sense of awe and curiosity.. I think this might be my favourite score of any movie I have ever seen. After hearing bits of it in this reaction I had to stop and go listen to a few selections. Parts of it practically bring me to tears. The way Williams, in several moments throughout the movie, builds up the excitement and then calms things down in an instant, as if reminding us to be careful of the danger posed, but then moving back to awe and excitement, ignoring its own warning. I would _love_ to see parts of this score performed by a live orchestra, particularly "Journey To The Island" Though the other two Jurassic Park movies are generally considered inferior to the first, I think they're still well worth watching. The Jurassic World movies, on the other hand, I honestly couldn't care less about. It's not that they were awful, it's just that they were really nothing special.

You should definitely watch the other movies. Fun fact: During the car scene, because of all the rain, the water would constantly get inside the animatronic T-Rex head & make it stutter & get heavier so when it breaks through the sunroof it went down further than it was supposed to & snapped the glass in half & chipped a tooth (which you can see if you watch that scene again) so the screams from the kids are actual fear & terror

The Jurassic Park Theme is one of John Williams' greatest works. 😍

Great reaction - the meme hunt, the dino-sawrs, the Airplane jokes reference, the roasting of the kids haha - really excellent work!

I've seen numerous Jurassic Park reaction videos. Yours was the very best. Your enjoyment and entertainment was a breath of fresh air. Unlike everyone else, you commented when necessary, and didn't endlessly talk. You're adorable. Thank you for your video!

Even as a kid I always thought... TIMMY COULD FIT THROUGH that wire fence so easily!!! He didn't even have to climb it... lol.

Everyone was nervous about how well the animatronic dinosaurs would work, and the sick triceratops was the first test. After the success of that scene, they felt more comfortable, and were sure that the movie would do well.

"Hold on to your butts." I love throw away lines.

oh and also: Spielberg said in an interview that he knew the T-rex showing up to eat the raptors was "a bit unrealistic" but he knew the audience would want one final look at the T-rex. The banner thing was the cherry on top.

I was lucky enough to see this in a theater in 2020, when the one near my house reopened because there were no new movies they were playing classic reruns. Absolutely incredible in a theater

That very first dinosaur reveal is still so incredible. I was 4 years old when this came out and brachiosaurus has been my favorite dinosaur ever since.

Im still 100% convinced that in the scene when Malcom tries to distract the Trex away from the kids.... He was actively trying to get that lawyer killed.... LOL.

I am so happy you mentioned the composer first off . Wonderful reaction 💜

In the book this movie is based on, in the scene where the T-Rex pushed the car over the wall, it confuses people where that drop came from, in the book the Rex didn't just spin the car around, she pushed it down the road a bit as well to where the road was built over a ravine, as to how Elle and Muldoon got down there so fast there was an employee access stairway close by.

"Shoot her? NO!" as a human is actively being eaten. LMAO

Movie character: How did you do this? ME: A computer. CGI will change how we do movies.

His vision is based on movement, but T. rex can smell you from 20 miles away.

Jurassic Park is an incredible example of a movie keeping the core essence of the source material intact. Even though there are differences between the two, even big ones, it still feels faithful. It helps that Michael Crichton was good friends with Spielberg, wrote the screenplay, and was a consultant for most of the process. Both book and movie are masterpieces in their own right ans I've gone back to both multiple times over the years

I was lucky enough to watch this in the theaters on opening night as a kid. I wish I could fully articulate just how amazing it was, seeing dinosaurs on the screen and how it was such huge leap forward in special effects. The T-Rex escape scene - especially the sheer _sound_ of the roars pinning me to my seat - will forever be burned into my memory. 1993 doesn't feel that long ago... One other little thing I enjoyed was the full music theme which plays during the credits. It starts with the epic main theme, then gives way to a more soothing piano rendition. But in the last 30 seconds, the piano fades away, and it's replaced with somber horns and shrill violins. It underscores that once the adventure and heartfelt moments are over, the dinosaurs are still out there, with sinister and terrifying implications of what's to come. The novel is great as well; there are plenty of moments that never made it to the screen (for the sake of pacing and gory visuals), and there are differences with regards to some of the characters. As for the sequels... Well, they're pretty hit or miss, and none of them capture the magic of this first one. The Lost World is okay as long as you focus on the spectacle instead of the writing. Jurassic World is basically both a sequel and a soft reboot of Jurassic Park, but for modern audiences.

Fun fact the actor playing the park owner is Richard Attenborough, the brother of the famous nature documentary maker David Attenborough.

Jurassic Park was one of the 1st movies i EVER went on a date to lol 15 yr old me thinking he knew it all 😂😅

John Williams is my favorite composer of all time! He’s written so many of the most iconic movie theme songs and scores! And the Jurassic Park theme has to be in the top 5 ❤ whenever I think of dinosaurs, this music always pops up!

Jurassic park (1993) classic movie of all time

This was a joy to watch! I watched a couple of your other reactions and have been loving it. Very relatable!

Those Raptors needed to learn that theres always a bigger fish!

Here's my vote for the five other Jurassic films! And if you haven't seen Indiana Jones, those are good too!

This reaction brightened my day. I can't quite put my finger on it exactly; just the right combination of humour (that dry "there's a meat-a-saurus" got me laughing) and seeing you enjoy such a treasured movie put me in a good mood, so, thank you.

I can tell you that in the theater in 1993 when this first came out that moment where they first see that huge dinosaur it was as epic as it looks and sounds. This was the first movie to used fully realized CGI for this and it was the audience's first time seeing something like this as well. This was the moment movies changed.

Im on the shelf in the corner 🐮

The original novel is extremely good; the sequel novel "The Lost World" ended up being written as a sequel to the film rather than the original novel which led to some inconsistencies as the fates of Ian Malcolm and Donald Gennaro were considerably different between each version. But the original was so stacked that some other parts of it ended up being used for the sequel films, even with Lost World which only vaguely adapted some parts of the second novel when they filmed it.

The actress who played Lex was previously in the movie 'Tremors' where she was having to deal with the creatures in that movie, so she had experience with screaming and fear.

The sound Rexy makes has been engrained in my brain for 30 years.

To be fair a 6 foot turkey would be pretty scary.

This movie is a classic. I remember my parents taking me to see this when I was about 11 years old. You'll wanna see the other movies as well. Also, John Williams is always brilliant with his music for movies, including my favorites, Star Wars.

Jeff goldblum has literally played this same character in every film hes been in since 😂

The book is so much darker. The kids are swapped for one (Timmy was the older hacker brother), the Muldoon & Genero character personalities are basically swapped, and Hammond willingly puts his grandkids in direct danger.

I think the first 3 are worth watching, maybe eventually even the reboots but imo the first 3 are a lot better than the new ones imo.

The dinosaurs look amazing, even 30 years after the movie was made! Who is your favorite character in this movie?

I used to have a entire separate VHS on the making of Jurassic Park and the behind the scenes were absolutely breath taking. Also there is 5 more of these movies, and several video games; the story is not over.

"I don't think they're smart enough to use doors, right?" Raptor: hold my beer.

Jurassic Park is my absolute favorite of the entire saga! I still have memories when I went a local movie theater, and it had famous scenes from movies framed on the wall. They had a framed shot of the scene of the T-Rex roaring as the Jurassic Park banner falls. Yes, please do the remaining 5 films! There’s even an animated series that takes place between the first and second Jurassic World. 🦕🦖🖤💛❤️

An absolute classic. One on my favourites. ❤

Look at you going full yoda “something big…this way comes” 😂🙌🏻❤️

Love the dialogue bingo you're playing 😂😂😂 just "clever girl" left 😂

The novel is amazing. It goes much more in details, explaining things better (obviously a lot of stuff had to be cut off to fit it in movie). There is additional characters, some characters have bigger role (like Henry Wu's character, who appears only one scene in movie) and some characters are somewhat different than in movie (better or worse, you decide). I actually read novel first, back in 1992, before movie even came out when I was 11. I thought it was the most amazing book ever. Late 80s / early 90s was exciting time, all these new technologies were becoming commonplace: computers, biotechnology, environmental sciences, chaos theory etc. and this book was like an amalgamation of all exciting stuff we saw in TV and read magazines, books etc.

Fantastic movie remembering seeing this as a kid in theatre Glad you enjoyed it

"There's a lot of dinosaurs, like this..." ...That's a lion.

Those raptors scared me as a kid, even as a man in my early 30s I still struggle to watch certain scenes 😂

Most dinosaurs in Jurassic Park was from the Cretaceous period, but I guess Cretaceous Park doesn't really have the same ring to it. I had the chance to see Jurassic Park in theater back in 93 even tho I was not old enough and my dad pretty much had to sneak me in. Instant love for dinosaurs. Crazy it´s been 30 years.....

I believe each jurrasic park movie is worth a one time watch. If you love dinosaurs, if you like the cast members, each movie sprinkles in some different magic. Not at all saying each one is amazing, but as a kid these were gems for me.

i just got the blind dinosaur joke after 30 years. I had to read the subtitles to understand what he was saying.

WOW What an amazing nod you gave to "Airplane" at the early line, "the attractions will drive kids wild!"..."What are those"..."Small versions of adults." Your "That's not important right now" was Brilliant!!!

The reason Hammond didn't want to do the Lysine Contingency is because it would have taken too long. This gets explained in the second film (spoiler alert), but the Dinosaurs would have been able to last about seven days without the supplemental enzymes, and there just wasn't enough time to wait that long, which is why Hammond emphasized "People....are....DYING."

That "shotgun" when Nedry died really caught me off guard, fantastic 😂

"Tiny dinosaur", LOL!

Absolutely loved your reactions! This movie still holds up even 30 years later. I would love to see your reaction to the other 5 movies!

There's also a Dr. Malcolm sexy unbuttoned shirt meme.

The Crichton novels are great. The 2nd one is even better. Wish I could say the same for the 2nd movie. The movies are a lot different than the books, so if they every try to reboot it one day, they could stay closer to the source material. It was a lot harder to make Jurassic Park in 1993.

I cant believe i only recently found out mr hammond was played by David Attenborough's older brother

I saw this in theaters when I was 9...and proceeded to have trouble sleeping for about a week.

Somehow the book is even better, might be my favorite book

This movie so blew my mind way back then 👍

I remember watching this in the theatre as a kid. When the velociraptor jumps up to try and catch the girl in the airduct, I pulled up my legs as a reflex :P. The music still gives me goosebumps in a good way. It felt like an actual adventure.

I LOVE this movie!!! 😊 Definitely one of my top favorite Steven Spielberg directed films. And with such a great cast. I hope that you end up watching all whole Jurassic Park/World franchise. Total of six movies. All are great! I don't remember if Steven Spielberg directed the other two Jurassic Park movies, or if it was just this one. I highly recommend looking up behind the scenes footage from this movie. I love seeing clips of all of the practical effects and dinosaur animatronics used in this movie. I've read the book twice. One the main differences between the book and movie is that.....SPOILER.....Jeff Goldblum's character dies from his injuries in the book. So glad that doesn't happen in the movie. Malcolm is one of my favorite characters. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

This movie defined my childhood. The book is a must read, as well as the sequel, both by Michael Crichton. You can stop watching the movies now, none of them captured the true essence of Jurrasic Park like the original.

Little trivia: It's a cliché that T-Rex couldn't see very well. Using skull scans, scientists were able to recreate the T-Rex brain and found that the senses were extremely well developed. Also the eyes. Some even go so far as to believe that the T-Rex could even see in the dark.

I love how well this film holds up 30 years later! I saw it in the theatre as a kid, and it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Even now, the choices they made to use a lot of practical, physical animatronics and puppets was the right call. The CG isn't bad, even by today's standards, and it was groundbreaking at the time, certainly, but the thing that really lets this movie stand the test of time is, (imo) that they used the CG gently. It wasn't used to carry anything important, just as a background tool. All the close shots with dinosaurs, like the raptors in the kitchen, are almost entirely physical puppetry, people in costumes, or animatronics. You can't pick apart the graphics of a sweaty actor in rubber dinosaur legs :p This is definitely the "best" film of the franchise, but honestly the rest of them are fun too, and I've watched the whole lot of them more than once. Just go into the others knowing that, after this one, they essentially become "creature feature"/disaster films, (think King Kong etc) and they follow that kind of formula, and they're good excuses for popcorn. They have dinosaurs, what's not to love :)

The Jurassic Park books are fantastic, worth the read themselves and they are a bit different to the movies.

The novel is absolutely amazing!! I've read it about 4 times and listened to the audiobook at work COUNTLESS times. Michael Crichton is an incredible author; Sphere, Jurassic Park, Timeline, Andromeda Strain...all of them, masterpieces in their own rights.

One of my favorite movies. The book is slightly different but fantastic as well. One of my favorite books. Watching this and Timeline in theaters kicked off my Michael Crichton book binge. So many of his books have been made into great movies The Andomeda Strain, The Great Train Robbery, Congo, Sphere, Prey. His books are very technical, but so enjoyable. I know the movie did not explain the Trike's illness, but it captured everything that scene needed to convey anyway. Alan's childlike joy, separating Ellie from the group, Hammond cutting corners by leaving the West Indian lilac because animals won't eat something that is bad for them (he technically was right, but what the scene got across about Hammond is still true). So good. I don't think you understood the lysene contingency. It takes time (days or weeks, i don't remember) and Hammond wanted to choose the faster option of resting the power because he was worried about the kids. But you were right that it also showed something about his character. Can't wait to watch more of your journey. If you do read the book, i would love to hear your thoughts on one of your videos. I loved the way the movie interprets the book scenes into totally different scenarios like Lexies's book scene in the tree is Tim and Allen's tree scene in the movie and the opening scene of the book is the opening of the movie. All wonderful scenes and all totally different.

When a ghost appears im gonna go “oh, hello” 😂

This is one of those movies where the sequel is even better. Same with Terminator and Alien.

Everything could be avoided if the IT guy was paid enough

Lady Verowak im soOo excited for your journey. Have fun Cheers!

3:50 that wow joke earned a big chuckle from me

One of my absolute favorite movies. Back in the day I was too little to watch it in cinema which broke my heart. I watched it a year later on VHS then. It blew my mind and turned me into one if the dinosaur kids of the 90s. 🥰 Certain scenes and the soundtrack are burned into my memory for good and I will always get goosebumps watching them. About the sequels: you can definately watch them, they are good (part 2) and okay (part 3). Not great tho either. And then there is Jurassic World. I hate those movies with all my heart, especially the first one. It just does everything wrong and is a disgrace to the first Jurassic Park which it always quotes. But in a shitty modern one-liner-jokes ugly CGI everywhere kind of way. But I guess you should find about them as well. 😊 i am just so happy that you liked this one a lot 😊

I saw Jurassic Park at the theater when I was a kid, still one of my all time favs

You crack me up girl....."Oh no, the Dinosawers"😅😅😅 You're awesome...

In Michael Crichton's books, the setup of the story takes 30 to 50 pages, and then in a few seconds, everything goes sideways - and the story becomes a fight for survival. I urge you to read his books.

In the theater, giant screen, sound system so good you felt the harmonic tremors, it was amazing

This movie was another stepping stone in the evolution of CGI technology... Other steps include "Young Sherlock Holmes" (1985, with the animation of the 'window man'), "The Abyss"(1989, the alien manifestation), Terminator 2 (1991, the T-1000 effects), "Jurassic Park (1993, the dinosaurs), The Matrix (1999, bullet time effect), Star Wars Episode 1 (also 1999, first animated primary character, Jar Jar Binks), and finally AVATAR (2009, Entire 3D film). Nowadays, CGI is used in every sauce. Sometimes even making the movie look worst than it would have if actual effects were used.

I love watching terror in the eyes of people who are looking at the T-Rex for the first time 😂

its my opinion that you'll enjoy reading the book. They flesh out the characters and themes even more. In fact, every chapter beginning has a chaos (math) theory diagram (fractal) or brief mathematical explanation that's relevant to the Park. As a math guy, I loved it. Also, you find out that Hammond is a billionaire who spent YEARS gathering investors, to whom he was directly responsible. He sold them a dream for money and if he doesnt produce, they'll want their money back. Moreover, the impact of this movie was SO big, that because of your age, you wont even know a "before and after" of our world. For example: 1.)Until Jurassic Park, most textbook and people believed dinosaurs were DUMB and they DRAGGED their tail. IF you can find a pre-1980s textbook or dinosaur book, you'll see the dinosaurs ALL drag their tail 2.)Until Jurassic Park, most people and experts thought dinosaurs were slow 3.)and most people didnt even CONSIDER dinosaurs evolved into bird 4.)except for paleontologist Dr. Horner, who they base the character of Dr. Grant on. 5.)the term "raptor" was associated with birds and mainly as a CLASSIFICATION used mainly by bird experts and most people barely knew what the word meant 6.)Thanks to making the word "raptor" infamous we have....the RAPTORS basketball team 7.)the RAPTOR Fighter jet AS 30 years has past, most people either forget or will never know the tremendous impact of this movie on basketball, the air force, etc... A SIMILAR INFLUENCE happened with The Godfather in the 1970s. 1.)Comedian Rodney Dangerfield's catch phrase is "I dont get no respect." It's not HIS! He started saying that the month The Godfather came out, peopled loved it. People associated it with The Godfather, but then, as decades passed, we forget it wasnt Rodney, but THE MOVIE that gave us the term 2.)Mafia FAMILY. Until GF, most mafia movies were about ORGANIZED CRIME: just groups of people working together. BUT...the GF was the first movie to say it's about FAMILY. Ever since then, every Mafia movie about families, patriarchs, etc...are directly related to the GF. Think Fast and Furious is about family and committing crimes? Where'd they get the idea? The Godfather. 3.)Mafia terms like consiglierre, caporegimes, and button man were not common knowledge until the GF came out The truth is that it was over half a century ago, so most people entirely forget the impact of the Godfather and just think "that's the way it is. " VERY similar to the impact of Jurassic Park. That's just the way it is. No....not always,....just after this movie.

Thanks, Verowak! 🦕 Since you asked, I think *Laura* *Dern* as 'Ellie' might resonate deepest with me. She's been on my radar since FOXES (1980). There's also something very compelling about *BD* *Wong* as 'Wu'. He's a character actor that always jumps out to me. *Joseph* *Mazzello* who played 'Tim' grows up to portray 'John Deacon' in BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (2018)... definitely worth a comparison. 𒆜 As far as the other movies in the series... they're good, never as impressive as the first, in my opinion, but still fun if you're in the mood. The JURASSIC WORLD trilogy is definitely worth seeing, simply for the improved effects and consistency. #VerowakReacts #StevenSpielberg #JurassicPark

Notice how there is zero music during the T-Rex escape scene. Perfect! It doesn’t need it.
