JURASSIC PARK (1993) | MOVIE REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING 

this movie is almost THIRTY years old, and the CGI still looks better than a lot of modern films

This woman has the best reactions ever. It's actually not a shame that you've missed all these movies because it's extremely entertaining watching you watch them for the first time.

fun fact: 80% of the dinosaurs were actually animatronics and only 20% was CGI. thats why it looks so good, because they used it sparingly

I saw this in my twenties at a Drive-In. The audio for the film was broadcast on a radio frequency, and you tuned your car radio to it and listened to the film over your car's speakers. There was a light rain, which was PERFECT for this movie - and we had our drinks sitting on the dashboard. When they first introduce the T Rex with the "boom, boom, boom" and the water in the glass ripples, our car's speaker was making the whole dashboard vibrate with each boom, and the ice in our drinks would shake with a "chshhhh, chshhh, chshhh". WHO NEED VR?? Just bring back drive-ins!!

This movie is almost 30 years old, but God damn the special effects are still good.

“He’s like the Walt Disney of dinosaurs.” “What could go wrong?” You basically summed up the movie pitch! 😉

"It's rated PG13, how scary can it be?" I love watching people not realize how tense this movie is

That final shot with the T rex and the falling banner is among the greatest moments in all of cinema

Her: "I hope they're nice dinosaurs" Me: *maniacal laughter intensifies*

The scene where the water shakes with the T-Rex walking has deep bass. You can feel it in the theater. The bass was so deep your seat rattled. Something so simple but it adds so much.

Because of this movie, my wife and I didn't even look at the horizontal bar type of doorknob during two house designs. Can't give those velociraptors a way in! 😄

I love that Malcom repets the "must go faster" line in Independence Day.

"I bet you could feel that in the theater..." I worked in a movie theater when this movie came out. Thanks to the THX sound system, the dinosaur's footsteps and roars were insanely loud and realistic. Not only could you feel and hear it in the theater it was playing in, you could also feel and hear it in the surrounding theaters, the hall and the lobby. I once passed a guy in the hall next to the doors of the theater that was playing JP as he was coming back from the concession stand. Just at that moment the T-Rex roared and this poor guy jumped so bad he lost half of his popcorn on the floor. LOL

"This is just PG-13, right? It can't be too scary..." This is 90s PG-13, it did not have the same standards as it does today lol

Cassie has the mind of a film critic but the heart of a small girl. She really cares about the characters in a movie and she is so tender hearted about many of the things that happen to them. Her reactions are filled with genuine emotion and that helps me feel something more than I would alone. Thank you Cassie.🙂

"I feel like they might be... nice dinosaurs?" I almost expected a butterfly land on your head at that moment. How adorable and authentic you and your sister are. I discovered you just today and this has already become my official movie reaction channel. Keep up the good, wholesome work, ladies!

The T-Rex paddock breakout scene has to be one of the best scenes ever in film the build up and climax THERE'S NO MUSIC JUST THE SOUNDS OF THE ENVIRONMENT ITS SO GOOD

"I bet you felt that in the theaters", yes I did, and it was fucking glorious.

I'm glad you kept in most of the Flea Circus scene. For me, that's the core of the film. "You never had control: THAT'S the illusion. I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now."

Ok this was the most enjoyable half hour ish of RU-vid ever, I have seen this movie approx 800,395,294 times since I was 9 in 1993 and seeing someone experience all this for the first time was just so much fun!

"They're being chased by a car, down a tree" never thought I'd hear a sentence so silly yet so accurate😂😂😂

On top of everything else, music by John Williams.

“No, we can’t. Because we’re being hunted.” Is still one of the best lines to me.

That sexy shot of Jeff Goldbloom with his shirt open is now iconic.

"I hope they're nice dinosaurs" Hahaha, seeing your optimism getting crushed is as heartbreaking as it is hilarious ;-)

The part where Dr. Grant sees the dinosaur for the first time always puts a lump in my throat. He's spent his entire life digging up their remains and from that, trying to determine how they lived, hunted, mated, everything. He's even talking to himself going over what he thought he always knew about them. Super powerful and well acted if you ask me!

I remember Toy Story 2 doing a parody of the T-Rex chasing the jeep and it's still hilarious all these years later

I really like Alan Grant's character arc in this movie, which is all about him overcoming his fear of having children. At the start of the movie, he dismisses Ellie's suggestion of having kids, but through taking care of Lex and Tim, he gets on board with the idea. The final scene in the helicopter is Alan and Ellie silently agreeing to start a family. It's so beautiful.

Trust me. Seeing the T-Rex roaring on the big screen is an entirely different experience from seeing it on a television. 😱

I’ve said hundreds of times “I wish I could see Jurassic Park again for the first time”. So it was a blast watching you watch my favorite movie. You are a delight!

Your comment about the music was right on. John Williams never made a bad score. This music still gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it, even 30 years on.

Remember, this came out in 1993, at the time all these dinosaurs in the movie BLEW MINDS, and it really says something that it holds up today, 30 years later! And the music! The music is beyond beautiful. This movie is cinema legend. Had fun watching you react! ☺️

"they wouldn't, they wouldn't!! ....THEY WOULD!!!!!!" -the entire movie in a nutshell

This movie has aged extremely well. I watched this in cinema when I was 14/15, and loved it. Now almost 30 years later I watched it with my own family and still love it. Thanks to Spielberg's choice of using practical effects, massive animatronic dinosaurs, and very limited use of CGI, I think it will be enjoyed by future generations too. A true classic.

19:06 sam niell has become one of my favorite actors because of the power and command he had in his voice when he said “ian freeze” and the little smirk he had when he saw the trex in person

I remember the biggest laugh in the cinema was for "I really hate that man..."😂

I was 13 when this came out. Hadn’t even seen ads for it. I was spending the night at a friends and she convinced me to go to the movies the next day. I literally sat down in the theater having ZERO idea what it was about. Hadn’t even seen the poster, just knew Jurassic was a period. The opening credits I saw it was based on a book. Man, immediately after the movie, I hit up Dalton books in the mall to buy the book. What a movie!

"They are going to haunt my nightmares" - 8 years old me : "I want a velociraptor"

"I feel like this is every 15 year old boy's dream movie." I first watched this movie when I was 6. And now 26 years later it's still in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Jurassic Park is a timeless classic. And while I do have my issues with some parts, I always over look them because of how much this movie means to me.

Your first time watching reactions are the best. Especially for movies I've seen. I can anticipate your reactions based on what I saw my first time. Its like seeing a movie for the first time for me again.

Oh the set piece with the T-Rex is absolutely one of the most terrifying scenes ever put to film. It is SO well done and the stakes are so high. And you honestly have no idea where it's going to go. This film was unbelievable when it came out in theaters. This was something NO one had ever seen before. And it holds up nearly flawlessly to this day. This was one of the very first films to really use CGI. And they knew the limitations of it and used it in the right ways mixed with real fullsize animatronic dinosaurs. The mix sells the CG to your brain and it can get hard to tell sometimes which are which.

The dinosaurs looked so real because for the most part, they were. Most of the close up shots of the dinosaurs were actually animatronic, while most of the wide shots where they're moving around a lot are CGI, which was groundbreaking at the time and still holds up even today!

Fun fact. That T-rex cgi was actually revolutionary for the time, literally invented for the movie and changed cgi from there on out. If anyone is curious about it and wants to know more, disney released a the movies that made us that goes deeper into it

This movie is iconic. Impressive how the VFX still look amazing 30 years later. I was lucky to see this in the theaters when it came out.

"I think I hope they're nice dinosaurs." 😂 Funniest line in this entire reaction. Jurassic Park was the most graphic family friendly horror movie I saw as a kid in the 90s. Scared the shit out of me.

When I saw this in the theaters there was NO CONVINCING anyone that dinosaurs were not real. The CGI and effects were so beyond anyone’s imagination. It still holds up decades later.

This was honestly probably the greatest theatrical experience I ever had. It came at the perfect time in my life, on the perfect evening. I was 15, the line to see the movie was literally wrapped all the way around the building, and the theater was completely full - literally every seat was taken. It began storming outside right around the time that the amazing T-Rex set piece took place, making it difficult to tell whether the thunder we were hearing was from the film or just outside the doors. It added so much to the experience. And everyone in theater was into it - you could feel the electricity in the air. The atmosphere was so tense, people were jumping at all the right times, laughing at all the right times. And by the time it was over I think everyone left just utterly satisfied with having witnessed a roller coaster of a film. And what a film it is. From the aforementioned amazing set pieces to the stunning score (my actual favorite of John Williams' work, and one of his few scores not nominated for an Oscar) to the mind-blowing special effects and sheer power of sound and visuals, it was a landmark of filmmaking and such a joy to have been lucky enough to behold on the big screen (which I subsequently did several more times before it left theaters). I was surprised that the book is actually not as good. It's much more dry, pretty tedious in parts (there's an overly long sequence where Grant and the kids float down a river which seems to take forever), kills half the characters, and makes Hammond seem like a greedy asshole (he even blames his grandkids for the failure of his park at one point). Spielberg was smart enough to sense what worked in the book and focus on that rather than getting deep into the background of Dr. Wu or lengthy manifests of how many dinosaurs were in the park, etc. He made it a fun movie that still contained the core story that made it so interesting in the first place. Speaking of the book, funny thing: In the original story the roles of the kids are reversed: the boy is the older one and the girl is little more than a toddler who's constantly whining. It was difficult to read lines like "Lex said 'I'm hungwy!" without picturing an intellectually challenged version of this actress saying it. So yeah, amazing film. Shame that out of six movies this is the only truly great one, with Jurassic World being the only decent follow-up (itself way below the quality of the original) and your choice of which of the first two sequels - The Lost World or Jurassic Park III - was the more tolerable of the two. For my money JP III is actually the more entertaining film, even if that trailer sequence in The Lost World was breathtaking.

Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park made him a household name. “I bet they felt that in the theaters” yes. Yes we did. Surround sound was in the theater now and boy did it vibrate through you whenever it walked anywhere

Cassie: "I hope it will be a fun theme park movie!" T-Rex: "Oh it will be fun....for some."

"Wasn't a movie that was like deep and epic in the awards" Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing, Peoples Choice Award for Favourite Movie 1994, A hand full of BAFTA's, Japan Academy Award and even a Czech Lion Award for Best Cinema Attendance... So yeah in 1994 it cleaned up on Awards for sound, special effects and popularity.

When they decide to show this again in theaters, i will watch it without hesitation. ❤

This was originally was gonna be claymation and was started in 1990 but was put on hold for 3 years when they saw what they could do with improved CGI. I saw this in theaters in 1993. I was 10 and will never forget seeing that very real t Rex and hearing that roar in surround sound on all sides of you. It was both terrifying and awesome. To this day when I hear him roar even on a dusty vhs tape I still get a little shiver down my spine.

The music is so good because the music is by John Williams, probably the best film composer of all time. The man behind the music for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, the first two Harry Potter movies, Christopher Reeves' Superman, Hook, and so many more!

Pretty amazing that there are people in 2021 that are suprised when Jurassic Park practically turns into a horror movie at the halfway point, but that was very entertaining to watch.

We forgot about any special effects because they were so good. The storyline and suspense carried our suspension of belief and we enjoyed the wild ride!

In the book, Muldoon has a secret stockpile of nerve gas grenades he tells them about before he gets killed, they use them to take out an entire nest of Raptors, right before the Costa Rican military rescues the survivors and fire-bombs the entire island. Oh, and the old dude, Hammond, he gets got by a whole bunch of little tiny dinosaurs. Procompnathids, something like that.

one of the best lines from a movie ever: "your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

"I feel like this computer is really slow" -- welcome to the 90's.

I love showing things to people that have not seen them to see their reactions, and this is one of my all time FAVORITE movies. It was pure joy to watch you. It brought back all the feelings of when I first watched this move as a twelve year old. The beauty mixed with terror... it was intoxicating. I lost count of how many times I had my parents take me to see it in theaters. THANK YOU so much for missing out and be able to share your pure reactions with us!

I was 12 and spent YEARS checking every hidden corner for velociraptors, LOL

"Can't they throw it a steak or something?" That's exactly how Tim dealt with the one raptor in the book. That scene in the film is more of a nod to The Shining.

its great to see that this incredible film still blows people away today just as it did back in 1993. the T Rex Breakout scene still blows me away every time i watch it!

Velociraptors in Jurassic World: "Awww look at Blue. What a cutie" Velociraptors in Jurassic Park: *literal hellspawn*

I saw this movie in the theater with my mom when I was a kid. Your reactions while watching echoed the thrill we felt. Thank you for helping me relive the wonder again.

"The CGI looked so real!" That's because there wasn't much CGI. Only 14-15 minutes of the dinosaur scenes were computer generated. They used mostly animatronics for this movie

"I bet you would've felt that in the theaters" - I watched Jurassic Park in theaters....and yes it was very loud.

I'm loving this. You're bringing back all the emotions I felt the first time I saw the movie back when it came out in 1993! I looked to see if you had a reaction video for lost world and you do so I'm going to go watch it right now! Such fun!

Oh, my God! Another great review! I swear I love your authentic first-time reactions to films. I also appreciate how you pay attention to plot details many people may not notice in a first viewing. So great, sister. Please never stop! We love you! 😊

"Spare no expense" Hires only 1 guy who can run the systems.

My husband and I went to see this in the theater. We lived up by Seattle, lots of trees, this movie was so real that on the way home we kept expecting a dinosaur to run across the road in front of us. Great movie!

Imagine seeing this movie in 1993 when it was released in theaters. It was an extraordinary experience and the craze for dinosaurs exploded. For me this remains the only true Jurassic Park. I think I consumed the VHS watching it dozens of times!

This was an awesome look into what audiences in theaters thought when they first saw one of the greatest piece of cinematic history. I wasn’t alive when Jurassic Park first released in theaters but as a kid growing up in the 2000s, I fell in love with dinosaurs and the movies . Really awesome to see your first viewing, very unique and I can’t wait to see you watch the sequels after commenting!

Imagine seeing it as an 8 year old in theatres, then going to McDonalds for Dino Sized meals. Man I want time travel to happen..

I remember watching this in theaters in KC while a massive thunderstorm raged outside while the movie was playing. Watching dinosaurs come to life as a kid in 1993 before the internet or any tech we have now is & was an indescribable feeling.

I’ve commented this before, but I will say it again: I absolutely love how invested you are and how well you pay attention! #1 reactor

"do you have a creative tranquilizer" lmfao 😂😂

When this movie came out the local theatre just upgraded to THX sound. The bass shook your intestines and it was simply one of the most memorable movie experiences i ever had in my life

Favorite lines of Ian Malcolm: “Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend…” “Boy do I hate being right all the time.”

You notice that line from Jeff Goldblum "Must Go Faster Must Go Faster" he also said said that same line at the end of the film Independence day when he and Will were being chased out the mothership and the door was closing and Jeff Goldblum said "Must Go faster Must go faster "😂

Fun fact, the animatronic trex dyring the paddock scene would get waterlogged due to the foam its skin was made out of absorbing the fake rain. As a result, not only did they have to towel it off and try to dry it out consistently, but the damn thing would short out randomly and scare the shit out of the crew when it moved by itself. 😅

One of the greatest films ever made. Period.

32:15 man you gotta feel sorry for Hammond his entire dream gone up in smoke. The way he looks at the island one final time with such sadness in his eyes. Total turnaround to how happy he was at the start.

My favourite film of all time ever. It doesn’t matter how old I get, how many times I watch it or how old the film gets, every single time I watch it I’m seven years old again and in total awe of seeing a dinosaur on the big screen. I even walked down the aisle at my wedding to the Jurassic Park theme song (The Piano Guys Version) like the power nerd that I am ha ha.

The main reason the effects are so good in this film is because they used a lot of animatronics. It's not all CGI. 30:29 The reason that looks real is because basically, *it is.* It's a fully functional animatronic with detailed features. There's No CGI in that shot.

Your reaction reminded me what it was like watching this in the 90s as a kid. 🙂 I really hope you watch the others too!

Yes, that's a John Williams music score; he's one of the best (Star Wars, E.T., Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc. Etc.)

Fun fact, if you need to test whether a fence is electified, use the back of your hand. The current will cause the hand to contract so you cant let go if you are grabbing it normally.

Its hilarious that she always says haunts my nightmares when she gets scared!

This is by far one of the best Jurassic Park reactions out there. Genuine. Heartfelt. Almost like I’m watching it for the first time again! Thank you!

I took my brother and his friend to see this when they were 12, who were both big dinosaur lovers. I had seen it the week before, so when I took them, I found the biggest screen that was around and sat them middle center between the 2 giant speakers, and waited to watch their reaction for that first roar by the T.Rex. Their jaws dropped to the floor. Priceless.

Man, I remember how big this was when it came out. I was 11 yrs old and my friends and I waited in line for tickets.

It's always adorable to see people reacting to practical effects and saying "oh wow, that looks so real". Yeah. It is.

"Sorry if I just said 'Daddy' in a gross way." Lol, I'm dying

"This is good music!" Yeah, as I'm sure you'll learn, John Williams does that. A lot.

11:51 "We can charge whatever we want, and people will pay" Kinda like the new Star Wars hotel at Disney.

I am glad you never saw this before. It was like watching it for the first time all over again through your eyes. Great reaction!

36:47 The fact that you immediately identified him as Newman just made my day! 😀

When the T-rex broke the glass roof of the car and they were holding the glass with their hands and feet, that wasn't supposed to happen. The children actors were really screaming in fear during that moment.

This film does such a great job of making you empathise with the characters. The score when you see the Plessy really makes you feel the wonder of the characters in the car then you really know they're in danger the whole time they're supposed to be

"This is good music." Yeah, John Williams really sweetened our childhoods with his magical compositions.
