Favorite Dino ?

I was a HUUUUGE dinophile as a child. This movie came out when I was 23. Seeing that first scene with the brachiosaurus nearly brought tears to my eyes--both with the glorious acting, and the absolute cutting edge CGI. This movie STANDS UP.

T Rex had incredible vision in reality :) also Nedry's death in the book is brutal. "Nedry opened the car door, glancing back at the dinosaur to make sure it wasn't going to attack, and felt a sudden, excruciating pain in his eyes, stabbing like spikes into the back of his skull, and he squeezed his eyes shut and gasped with the intensity of it and threw up his hands to cover his eyes and felt the slippery foam trickling down both sides of his nose. Spit. The dinosaur had spit in his eyes. Even as he realized it, the pain overwhelmed him, and he dropped to his knees, disoriented, wheezing. He collapsed onto his side, his cheek pressed to the wet ground, his breath coming in thin whistles through the constant, ever-screaming pain that caused flashing spots of light to appear behind his tightly shut eyelids. The earth shook beneath him and Nedry knew the dinosaur was moving, he could hear its soft hooting cry, and despite the pain he forced his eyes open and still he saw nothing but flashing spots against black. Slowly the realization came to him. He was blind. The hooting was louder as Nedry scrambled to his feet and staggered back against the side panel of the car, as a wave of nausea and dizziness swept over him. The dinosaur was close now, he could feel it coming close, he was dimly aware of its snorting breath. But he couldn't see. He couldn't see anything, and his terror was extreme. He stretched out his hands, waving them wildly in the air to ward off the attack he knew was coming. And then there was a new, searing pain, like a fiery knife in his belly, and Nedry stumbled, reaching blindly down to touch the ragged edge of his shirt, and then a thick, slippery mass that was surprisingly warm, and with horror he suddenly knew he was holding his own intestines in his hands. The dinosaur had torn him open. His guts had fallen out. Nedry fell to the ground and landed on something scaly and cold, it was the animal's foot, and then there was new pain on both sides of his head. The pain grew worse, and as he was lifted to his feet he knew the dinosaur had his head in its jaws, and the horror of that realization was followed by a final wish, that it would all be ended soon."

He did play Santa Claus, in the remake of Miracle on 34th Street. He also directed one of the greatest movies of the 80s, Gandhi, for which he won an Academy Award.

Just a quick input: Nedry wasn't actually his son. That "okay, dad" was just meant as sarcasm. Loved the reaction 😊

The shot of the banner falling down in front of the triumphant Rexy is one of the most iconic moments in film history for my taste. What a marvel this film was and how well it holds up.

Hi Bisscute. This movie was positively sensational in the cinema. That first scene with the T Rex was the money maker. This had the best audio effects in a movie I ever heard at the time. Spielberg actually had a full sized animatronic T REX built for this stomping around terrorizing in that scene. That alone is outstanding. The storm was real too because a hurricane hit Hawaii where this was filmed and the cast and crew had to be evacuated. Too, the CGI was in it's earliest stages back in 1993 and I think it still holds up beyond anything else from the '90s.

I saw it when it came out in 1993 and for the time it was a masterpiece. Even today I consider it the best of the Jurassic Park \ World series

"I think he took his last poop", best line ever!

"I think he took his last poop." LOL! Truer words have never been spoken.

One of my favorite childhood movies. I was amazed by these creatures when I was little, so this movie coming out was a dream come true. 8:08 "He could play a great Santa Claus." In fact, he did play a great Santa Claus in the 1994 version of Miracle on 34th St. 46:38 That was the best jump scare I have seen in a hot minute.

The animatronics and some cgi were the best for it’s time and still hold up today! Stan Winston made some amazing stuff in his time!

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

The stone the mosquito is in is called Amber. It's fossilized tree sap. You can find a lot of amber, but finding one with an insect preserved inside is something quite a bit more rare. That's what they were digging for near the beginning of the movie. That was an amber mine and they were looking for the ones with insects for Hammond. And yes Hammond has a HUGE polished piece of amber with an insect inside on the top of his cane. :) Edit: Dennis is NOT Hammond's son. Dennis was being sarcastic when he said "thanks dad." :D most of the effects are actually practical effects with some scenes being a combination of practical and CG.

"I think he took his last poop" is prob the funniest thing I've heard in the last few months, thanks for that 😂😂😂

This movie was absolutely mindblowing and it still is! Best dinosaur movie EVER!

48:34 "My cat knows how to open doors." I once knew a _dog_ who had figured how to open a _gate._

I witnessed this, yes, witnessed this 6 times in theaters as a kid. With different people every time. I loved Dinosaurs before, but that's how epic it was. Feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples gives you chills forever. Back when CGI was used but not abused.

It's funny you say that Hammond (Richard Attenborough) would make a great Santa Claus because he was Santa Claus! He was in the remake of the classic Christmas movie Miracle on 34th Street alongside Mara Wilson, the little girl who played Matilda!

The explosion under the stand at the beginning of the movie (which you ask for an explanation) is a seismic scanner. It sends a shockwave into the ground, and measures its return signal. Very much like radar or sonar, it can show a picture of what is under the ground without digging.

amazing how you say at the end Steven Spielberg "i heard that Name befor" hes just one of the most known and porbably one of the best film director, writer and producer.

Yup, the owner, Hammond, was actually Santa in a movie, lol, but was also a phenomenal director as well. I would love for you to check out his Oscar winning film, Gandhi (1982). Otherwise... you're going to need a bigger goat ;)

"I think he took his last poop." LOL Priceless!

Dennis Nedry, the sabotage theif, is not actually the son of John Hammond, the park director. His "ok dad" was just like a brush off 'thanks for the lecture' comment. Great reaction though. This film definitely exponentially boosted all the young boys of the times love for dinos. Its was also one of the early giant leaps forward for CGI and also like one of the most complicated and largest animatronic build outs as well!

Every reactor takes the "thanks dad" to mean it's his son. He's not, it's sarcasm. He says it because he thinks his boss is being overbearing. I don't think sarcasm is understood much these days. I don't recall anyone thinking that was his dad back when this first came out, not even my kids. Times change.

When I first saw this movie, in theaters, I was 15. That's how old I am. It scared the _crap_ out of me. I _loved_ it. Since then, it has come under a _lot_ of criticism for not being very scientific, but this criticism misses a _key point._ It _was_ very scientific in 1993. Science is what's called "a self-correcting process." Whatever the field of science, it's always finding _more_ pieces of evidence. It's always conducting _more_ studies and experiments. It's _always_ improving. The paleontological consensus of 1993 was the best available at the _time_ and this movie was _based_ on it. A better consensus has come along _since_ them, but this doesn't change the fact that the picture we had of the world that existed, 65 million years ago, was the best _available_ as of 1993.

"Welcome... to Jurassic Park." What made this movie the groundbreaking flick that we know today, was the use of Practical Effects with CGI mixed in. If this movie was made today, CGI would have been used for everything and it wouldn't have looked good. Fun Fact: Michael Crichton said that his views on science and genetic engineering are largely expressed by Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). Steven Spielberg saw many parallels to himself in the character of John Hammond (Richard Attenborough). Fittingly, he cast a fellow filmmaker in the role, who begins his tour of the park by showing a movie in which he also acts. While Malcolm is dressed entirely in black, Hammond wears all white. Lost In Adaptation Fact: The Mr. DNA cartoon was Steven Spielberg's way of condensing much of the novel's exposition into a few minutes. Not The Virus Fact: The guests' encounter with the sick Triceratops ends without any clear explanation as to why the animal is sick. Michael Crichton's original novel and the screenplay, however, include an explanation: the Stegosaurus/Triceratops lacked suitable teeth for grinding food, and so, like birds, would swallow rocks and use them as gizzard stones. In the digestive tract, these rocks would grind the food to aid in digestion. After six weeks, the rocks would become too smooth to be useful, and the animal would regurgitate them. When finding and eating new rocks to use, the animal would also swallow West Indian Lilac berries. The fact that the berries and stones are regurgitated explains why traces of them are not found in the animal's excrement.

In 93 i was just a little kid and this movie haunted me at night especially the scene with the spitting dino. Later i start to appreciate more the movie without the childish fear and today is one of my favorite. I love all dinosaurs i wish they were all still alive.

This movie is a masterpiece. Its practical and special effects still hold up and surpasses most of what is released today.

(Round 27:40) I'm sure someone else commented, but most of the dinosaurs used were animatronics. This is the era they were transitioning from Animatronics to CGI and there was a running joke behind the scenes where someone asked the animatronic people gonna do now that they don't have to build robots anymore and guy said that he's out of a job and a CGI guy said "Don't you mean extinct?" Everybody thought that was hilarious and decided to put it in the movie. ALSO, the scene where the T-Rex breaks the glass roof to the jeep was not in the script, the was an actual hurricane passing through Hawaii where they were filming and water had gotten into the machinery and the T-Rex had malfunctioned. Those scream are completely real and authentic.

Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 have been the two groundbreaking movies in regards of CGI. It was really mind-blowing back when they came out.

Twenty years old, and the movie still stands up extremely well. The introduction of the T-Rex is my favorite scene - all these years since, so many times watching it, and I STILL find it scary. :)

I was 12 in 1993. I had already read the book before the movie came out. I was also a big Spielberg fan at the time as well (Raiders, Jaws, Hook, and Close Encounters were some of my favorite movies--I still love 3 of those movies). I was really looking forward to this movie. It didn't disappoint. It was amazing to see in theaters the first time. The only movies that I can think of that built up that much anticipation for me and completely paid off are The Matrix in 1999, The Dark Knight in 2008 and Endgame in 2019.

The fat guy is not actually the old man's son. He was making a joke that the old man was giving advice like his father even though he was not

First saw this in 1993 when I was 11, on opening weekend. Most magic weekend at the cinema ever. Love your reaction too... Especially how you forgave the kids when they switch the light on in the car. Most people say she's stupid, but you have to remember, like you said, they're kids, and they're panicking. The thing with the breeding was expanded somewhere as well. It's spoken about in the book, but there was an official website or book/novel, that explains the Raptors' behaviour in the movie. The Raptor referred to as The Big One by Muldoon, is said to be a male before it even came to the park. As Muldoon says, they bred 8 raptors, and the Big One was introduced to the other 7, and immediately took over the group, and killed all but 2 of the other Raptors. Leaving The Big One, and 2 subordinates. It was explained in the source that I can't find, what the people at the park didn't realise, was The Big One is male, and the 5 Raptors it killed were males... leaving the remainder of the group as The Big One, and 2 females that he can breed with. It's also shown in the original book, that the eggs that Grant and the kids found, were Raptor eggs... meaning there's more Raptors out in the park that nobody knows about, and worse of all, they're breeding. The original book goes deeper as well, when they use a computer tracker of how many Raptors there are, and instead of the 9 Raptors that they know about... they actually track that there's almost 40 Raptors loose in the park, plus the 9 that are in their paddock. Spared No Expense. The entirety of Jurassic Park is basically a satire of big companies, not giving a sh*t about their actions. Hammond constantly going on about expense... and yet, he cuts corners absolutely everywhere. No locks on doors, fences are inadequate, the main IT guy was underpaid or simply not paid at all, the security systems are weak asf... and Hammond just wants to bring children to this island that's a complete disaster. Even after everything falls apart, Sattler has to shout him down and tell him his failings because he's simply not seen them even after everything has gone wrong. Hammond in the book is worse than the movie version as well. In the book, he's a megalomaniac, who literally blames everyone to their faces about how pathetic they all are that HIS ideas weren't working. He even blames his own grandkids when he gets hurt after wandering away from the safety of the compound, and they're not even in the same vicinity as he is. Edit: The Rex appearance at the end... if you notice, the humans aren't moving, but the Raptor is... so Rexy simply did was she did, and went for the moving target :D Oh, and Rexy's eyesight, was a plot from the novel. Using amphibian DNA, the dinosaurs in the novel were all basically blind to other animals, including humans, unless they see movement. The Raptors didn't pick up that trait though, and were perfect hunters with perfect eyesight. They couldn't figure out how to include it in the movie though without long explanatory dialogue, so they simply made it that it was a scientific fact T-Rex could only hunt by seeing movement. Love your reaction though, BissFix!

The kid at 3:45 was pretty spot on. Velociraptors were small, with an estimated weight of 30-45lbs, while Dilophosaurus was much larger in real life than depicted.

The assumption that herbivores would be peaceful is unfounded. A rhinoceros, a hippo, male bovine, male African elephant all serve as warning examples.

You mentioned Indiana Jones. You should ABSOLUTELY watch those. I guarantee you’ll have fun.

To answer your question: In 1993 a PC at home was rare thing. I got my PC in 1995. Windows 95. JP1 looked so high tech at the time. Not futuristic but high tech. The technic was around at the time. (minus cloning dinos from blood.... but Dolly the Sheep was cloned 1995) Thats what made the movie so believable. I was so fascinated by all the technical stuff. The control room, the mainframe computers, the fences and all this stuff. This movie inspired me doing something with computers as a profession.

The grin on your face when Nedry met the Dilophosaurus was awesome

I was 8 years old when this movie came out, and I was completely obsessed. I saw it in theaters as many times as I could convince someone to take me. I even pre-ordered the vhs tape from blockbuster video. So, it definitely made a pretty big impression on me growing up, lol.

8:15- He did play Santa Claus and he was great at it. Movie is called "Miracle on 34th Street" 9:27- Now that's acting. I don't know what they doing nowadays, but this is true acting. Except Judy Greer, she is a pro.

This was top special effects for 1993. I was thirteen in '93 and was blown away.

YES!! MY #1 FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME! Before Steven Spielberg was picked to direct the film, Richard Donner, James Cameron, Tim Burton and Joe Dante were considered. Cameron was going to direct the project before Spielberg got the rights. Cameron said in an interview, celebrating the films 25th Anniversary, that "he wasn't the right choice to direct the movie, as his original version was going by to be too dark and scary for kids." Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Mel Gibson, Robin Williams, Tom Hanks, Sam Shepard, Pierce Brosnan, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Biehn, Tom Selleck, Jeff Bridges, Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, Dennis Quaid, Dylan McDermott, and Tom Sizemore were considered for Alan Grant. Kelly McGillis, Julia Roberts, Amanda Plummer, Joan Cusack, Debra Winger, Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt, Laura Linney, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Teri Hatcher, Elizabeth Hurley, Ally Sheedy, Geena Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan, Jodie Foster, Nicole Kidman, Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields, Daryl Hannah, Sharon Stone, Jennifer Grey Linda Hamilton, Christina Applegate, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright, Kyra Sedgwick, Uma Thurman, Juliette Binoche, Sandra Bullock, Sherilyn Fenn, Heather Graham, Lisa Rinna, Renee Zellweger, Kim Raver, Mariska Hargitay, Juliette Lewis, Genevieve Bujold, and Kim Basinger were considered for Ellie Satler. Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Bruce Campbell, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson, Michael J Fox, and Bill Paxton were considered for Ian Malcolm. Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Ian Bannen, Charlton Heston, Marlon Brando, and Jon Pertwee were considered for John Hammond. Jeffrey Jones, Bob Hoskins, Brian Cox, and Geoffrey Rush were considered for Robert Muldoon. Christina Ricci and Claire Danes were considered for Lex Murphy. The movie was filmed in location at Kauai, Hawaii, Death Valley, California (Fossil Dog Site), Warner Bros Studio (T.Rex Paddock, Raptors In The Kitchen, and the Genetics Lab), and Universal Studios (Interior Visitor Center). The film was a box office and critical success, making $900 million dollars against a $65 million dollar budget. It's now made $1.8 billion dollars today. It won 3 Oscars: Best Visual Effects Best Sound Editing Best Sound Mixing.

I love how they used modern animal sounds and everyday objects to make the dinosaur's sounds. Adult raptors: Tortoise mating call, walrus chest roar, angry goose hiss and dolphin scream recorded underwater Baby raptors: Owlets (baby owls), kits (baby foxes) Gallimimus: Female horse in heat Brachiosaurus: Slowed down donkey brays, the sneeze was a whale breathing through its blowhole(s) mixed with a fire hydrant. Dilophosaurus: Hawk, swan, rattlesnake and howler monkey sounds Tyrannosaurus rex: Dog playing with rope toy, elephant calf squeal, an alligator's gurgling vocalizations, a tiger's snarl, metal sheets grinding against each other Triceratops: Cow, human breathing through a tube Bonus content: In an ironic twist, the Tyrannosaurus rex has been my favorite dinosaur since I was a child, even though this movie scared the crap out of me then, and that Raptor popping up behind Ellie Sattler in the maintenance shed is always a BIGTIME jumpscare.

Seeing this in theatre was one of my first memories, I was 5 I think? Almost 5. I was blown away, had seen nothing like it. I was obsessed

Hammond isn't Dennis Nedry's father. Nedry is being sarcastic when he says "thanks, dad".

He isn't really his son. He was being sarcastic because he was correcting him like a parent would.

I just found out recently that Steven Spielberg did this movie and Schindler's List in the same year. That's some amazing talent.

Thank you for making me feel so old :) I was 28 in 1993 and watched this film with friends in Holland (although I am German). The CGI was revolutionary, indeed. When the T-Rex got out of the compound, everyone in cinema sat on the edges of their chairs. People also talked about the relative new genetic technology and the chaos theory (all of this is more explained in the novel).

Michael Crichton wrote this book. He's a prolific writer! Many good books made into movies! His first monster book made into a movie is, Congo. A very good movie, I wish they would have done sequels!

Yup, I saw this in a theater back in 1993 (I was 24) and it blew me and everyone away. First movie to ever use CGI extensively. After this you could see every movie afterwards start using CGI, since Spielberg proved you can make realistic monsters with computers.

Back in first grade we studied paleontology and learned more about dinosaurs than any other animal. An average Olympic runner can outrun a T-Rex even a golf cart. So happy to see more people react to Jurassic Park

As 90’s baby, having seen this as a small child, I still have nightmares about velociraptors 😂 my wife does too

22:32- Look at her. She is crying and smiling because she is actually seeing a live dinosaur for the first time and she thinks it's beautiful. Now that's acting right there.

At the start, "something went wrong" - the guy you saw die. That's why the lawyer needed some experts to sign off on the park. I've seen this movie so many times. It's very well paced, and it uses CGI and animatronics in service of the story, not primarily to bedazzle audiences. I've always loved it.

When this movie was made they thought the T-Rex vision was based on movement,but the found out it is not,they had great vision

I was 7 when this came out and to say I was a dino nerd at the time would be a gross understatement. I learned how to read by reading about dinosaurs and as early as 3 or 4 I'd locked in the pachycephalosaurus as my favorite and even learned how to spell it. My earliest childhood dream job was to be a paleontologist and being born and raised in those early years in Montana meant I actually got to go digging for fossils more than once. Never found more than your standard trilobites sadly but still awesome. I wasn't able to see this movie in the theatre on account of, you know, being a child but I still distinctly remember the night my Dad, my sisters, and I watched this at home. We made a whole day of it, even had dino chicken nuggets for dinner with dino styled Pillsborough instant bake cookies for dessert and I got to regale my father and bore my sisters with all the esoteric terrible lizard facts I'd crammed into my tiny brain up to that point all day long, it was awesome. This is a solid movie in spite of its many, many inaccuracies thanks to the solid acting and amazing practical and cgi effects that somehow still holds up 30 years later but it'll always hold a special place in my heart for that special night when I first saw it.

This was the first film that I saw in the cinema at 6 years old when it came out in 1993. My entire family went to see it on opening night for free as my dad was given free passes.

Thank you so much, #BissFlix, for uploading this awesome movie reaction. I love your content so much because it's so amazing, and I really enjoy watching your reactions to different TV shows and movies.

It was absolutely mind blowing in 1993. Saw it in the theater on opening night. People literally cried at the opening scene with the brachiosaur. The future seemed a lot brighter then.

28:53 you nailed it again “What about smell?” The T-Rex can pick up scents miles away

This was such a joy to watch! I graduated high school in 1993 and having just got a car a few months prior, I decided to treat myself and this I believe was the first movie I went to watch by myself, it was a year for a lot of firsts for me. Apart from the kid's movie "Land Before Time" an animation about dinosaurs, there really wasn't anything like this before, so when it debuted; all the world was a buzz about it and its creators were just like that lawyer and his response to seeing dinosaurs the first time. There are six movies and it's my humbled opinion that you are one of the few reactors who would give such a great reaction to viewing this franchise. Your detective skills are quite respectable, your wide array of commentary is quite entertaining, and your jump scares are adorable! The special effects do get better as the technology becomes more up to date, so if you do decide to undertake the watching of these movies, I am definitely going to be here for it!!!! *Hey Bisscute* I do want to share something with you that you might enjoy, you know the scene where the kids are in the car getting scared out of their minds by the T-Rex? Well, the directors didn't know it at the time, but they actually made this scene to be portrayed by using a cat as opposed to a dinosaur. You had mentioned you have a cat, so I thought you could appreciate this Jurassic Park video clip but with a cat. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJZmm8mWr5rXe4U.html

29:44 how can you say something like this doesnt look fucking amazing? :O better than any cg even nowadays would

I was 15 when this came out and took a beautiful girl who I had been pining over for ages to see it in the cinema. Sadly I was SOOOO entranced by this movie that I pretty much ignored her! 😫😜 I apologize to her, and sometimes wonder what might have been... but, DUDE! This movie!!! One of the best ever made. Still makes me SOOOO happy 30 years later! Just an absolute classic. Tight script. Great performances. Magnificent score. Groundbreaking CGI that mostly still holds up alongside magical animatronics. Award winning sound. Fantastic direction and cinematography. A brilliant example of film.

For your audio volume challenges, take a look at the settings for either your video player or your PC audio. There is usually an option to "Normalize" the sound levels. That will make the dialog louder, and the action scenes quieter. It makes a huge difference for stuff like this. If you don't see that option anywhere, you might be able to download a separate app that will provide an audio equalizer with the option for Normalizing the sound levels.

The conversation they had over lunch is the classic debate surrounding scientific and technical advancements throughout history. The problem of unintended consequences. Just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.

Yes my dear biscute this was cutting edge CGI back in 1993!, the dinosaurs was so realistic as compared to older movies, you are used to modern movies with CGI but like I said this was revolutionary technology back in the day.

This is one of the greatest movies from the 90's, watching it when it came out in theaters was an awesome experience.

This was my first PG13 movie and it initially scared me too much to watch it. Later, it was just amazing movie I gradually came to love watching once in a great while. The story building was great, the character arcs were believable and heartwarming, and your genuine reactions on these old franchises reignite the reason why they were once so much fun to watch.

Richard Attenborough did play Santa in the remake of Miracle on 34th Street.

The amount that Bisscute sings ABBA is truly endearing. 👍✌❤

9:06 The concept of an island full of dinos goes waay back in movie history - it's pretty much one of the big classic themes among monster-adventure movies. The original classic idea though was of finding a hitherto undiscovered island where there lived dinos already. What's new about Jurassic Park is the idea of having an amusement park of man-made dinos on the island.. As far as I know. - But please correct me if I'm wrong, if anyone knows otherwise: I'd love to hear of older movies unknown to me, about man-made dino attractions, if there are any.

29:00 "I don't know anything about dinos. I don't know smell-wise. I don't know anything." Well _this_ much is universal and enduring. If you find yourself out in the wild, any animal you encounter, more likely, is motivated by _hunger_ than _anger._ The bigger the _animal,_ the bigger the _hunger._

This was originally a book written by Michael Crichton. They had to adjust the story to make it fit into the Hollywood mold and time constraints, but they did a decent job on this one. When Crichton had the original idea for his book he spoke to some geneticist friends about his concept thinking they would laugh it off.... they immediately started writing notes and talking along each other in hushed tones. Finally Crichton asked what the deal was and they told him it was actually possible with strong enough computers assuming the DNA from the blood was of a high enough quality... FYI Michael Crichton was one of the smartest sci-fi writers, having multiple degrees in many disciplines, as well as referencing a lot of medical or scientific papers for each book... he wrote what I call plausible sci-fi

This was the first movie I ever went to see at the cinema and I was blown away. I still love the franchise to this day.

The MUSIC !! Composed & conducted by the guy that also did Star Wars and many others -- John Williams. 😊 ❤

I was totally blown away by this film when it came out. It's one of the first films where I went nuts in behind-the-scenes material.

I watched this movie 7 times in theaters when it came to my country, totally captivated by the adventure and the effects 😁 one of my favorit.

When Mr. Nedry says "Thanks Dad" to the old man, it does not mean that he is the old man's son. It means that Mr. Nedry is being sarcastic. What he really means is: You are not my father, so don't talk to me like you are my father.

I took my oldest son to see this at the theater. We were both instantly in love with dinosaurs. It was fun. He’s 39 this year and his children LOVE this movie and the dinosaurs.

- Nedry wasn't Hammond'son. He was ironic :D - In the book Alan is more confident and kind with Tim and Alexis. And the kids's ages are inverted. - The Dilpohosaurus wasn't poison, this is a reference of the franchise. - The Raptors of the movie aren't Velociraptor but Deinonychus, their bigger North American cousins - The T-Rex has a name for the fans: REXY 46:39 SURPRISE!!!

I am 100% naming my next D&D character Brak O'Zarrus (Or something).

Dennis Nedry is being sarcastic calling Hammond "dad," because Hammond was lecturing him like a kid. Blame author Michael Crighton for what happened to the kids. He wrote the book the movie was based on. I saw this in the theater with a friend. Absolutely incredible on the big screen!!! The dinos were a mix of CGI & animatronic. Any dino a character interacted with was a physical prop being operated from off screen. The success of this movie led to a series of specials on cable: don't recall now if it was Discovery Channel or Animal Planet. It started with Walking With Dinosaurs; & eventually ended with docudramas about prehistoric humans. All because this movie proved that CGI could create believable dinosaurs!

yeeeees... so cool that you reacted this. Thanks so lot

Paleobotanist = studying extinct plants. Also the rich guy does play Santa in Miracle on 34th Street.

He would play a good Santa Clause?? LOL You're more right than you know girl. 😏

Richard Attenborough DID play Santa Claus - in the 1994 remake of Miracle on 34th Street

The first shot of the T Rex's head (as well as most if not all of the closeups of the head) wasn't CGI, that was practical! That's something that I love about this movie. They used a mix of practical, as well as CGI, but only in the places where it was necessary. Whereas nowadays, EVERYTHING is CGI, and the quality of it suffers for it.

the rex's eye sight and sense of smell are arguably top 10, if not top 5, on any animal ever, and probably had the strongest bite force of any known animal to ever exist.

Inital Trex intro with the Jeep is an actually animatronics. Giant robot trex that scared the child actors during the jeep-sunroof scene

The special effects aren't amazing by today's standards but when this movie came out we were all floored by them. I remember watching this in the theater and thinking that every movie that couldn't be made before due to special effects needs was now possible...and they definitely have been. The dawn of the sci-fi and fantasy age of movies had begun.

3:34 it works in the exact same way your ears, eyes or even a camera or microphone works. The machine sends a pulse of energy (light or sound or in this case, kinetic energy so basically sound) and another part of the machine listens to the echo of that sound and maps out an image based on the returning sound. That later part is how we see. Our eye recieved data and our brain processes that data into an image.

Fun fact, the scene where the t-rex is in rain actually took alot of time because the t-rex would malfunction everytime it rained. Its the perfect combi between CGI and animatronics

I was 11 when this came out. I was HUGE into dinosaurs. Despite all that went wrong. The premise of this was a dream. To be able to see a dinosaur on the screen? Not thinking of the CGI and practical effects used. I was so geeked for this movie. While I know now that the Raptors are not that big. That they are based more on the Deinonychus. They were the one dino in these movies I always enjoyed. I can still watch these movies as the child that loved everything dinosaur.

Dennis is John's nephew. When he says "Thanks dad." he is being sarcastic in response to John's lecture. If all the dinosaurs were wiped out by a comet which allegedly struck the Earth, how could anything have descended from them? Alan Grant has no way of knowing that the T-Rex's vision is based on movement. The fence would have killed Timmy. It was designed to stop a T-Rex.

Jurassic Park will always be number one in this franchise and I hope you do continue the rest of the movies

11:52 "I like it that they use simple words to describe it." Of course. Every concept conveyed in the _adult_ section of the library is also conveyed in the _kid_ section. But in the _kid_ section, they use simpler _language_ and rely _much_ more abundantly on _illustrations._

When this movie came out, I was so excited to see it that I rode my bicycle to the cinema at 11PM (2300) to see it, and I saw it in the cinema more than once.

This came out shortly after I got my drivers license and I went to see it in theaters 6 times. I also read the book several times over as well. To the point the cover was falling off and the binding was giving way. Good dose of nostalgia. :)
