I watched this at the cinema when it came out. Was absolutely mind blowing! This was a golden age of special effects for my generation - Jurassic Park, Twister, Independence Day etc. I was too young to see T2 at the cinema, but these films were amazing. I remember on the drive back from the cinema with my mum and dad, and siblings, my mum said "what would you do if a T-Rex came over that hill right now?", the realness of the SFX was so fresh in our minds, we all said "shut uuuuup muuuum!!" 🤣😂

FUN FACT: most of the dinosaurs in "Jurassic park", weren't actually from the Jurassic time period, they were from the Cretaceous period

You can see with the Triceratops why this movie still holds up today. That was an animatronic on set, a machine the actors can see and touch. And you can see that they believed it, even for a second there. CGI makes beautiful, stunning pictures, building real things makes real pictures.

I saw this in the theater, and my jaw hit the floor when they show that first dinosaur. I still get that same feeling every time I watch this.

I grew up loving dinosaurs, and I was 8 when this came out. Seeing what looked like an actual T Rex step out of its cage absolutely blew me away when I was a kid

These effects are actually better than a lot of what they do today. Really revolutionary back in '93.

I saw this in the cinema when it first premiered. Seeing this on a big screen with a theater sound system was astounding. What an experience.

Great reaction! You have to understand when this came out the technology was cutting edge and forever changed films. This was massive.

30:57 Ironically, that's what happened in the original book the movie was based on! It was actually really sad because the Tyrannosaurus was described as having much more of a personality in the novel. Loved the reaction!

FUN FACT: That young boy grows up to play Eugene Sledge in The Pacific.

When I was a little kid in 1993...I saw this in theaters 6 times, with different friends and family. That's how epic it was. Now THAT'S Chaos.

Poltergeist is a Spielberg/Tobe Hooper film that has plenty of jump scares. Great ghost story terrorizing a young family.

I love you guys. You analyze the story, make jokes, and react naturally to shocking moments and jump scares. A perfect balance

Hammond was played by Richard Attenborough, who was also an Oscar-winning film director. He directed the 1982 'Gandhi' film that won 8 Oscars, and he is the brother of the famous nature documentary film maker, David Attenborough. Richard died in 2014 at the age of 90.

I was lucky enough to watch Jurassic Park on its opening weekend in the theaters back in 1993. It was one of the defining experiences of my childhood; imagine seeing those mindblowing special effects and hearing that incredible audio on the big screen. I'll never forget being pinned to my seat by the sheer sound during the T-Rex scene. It completely outclassed any other movie that was out at the time. I'm so glad that you finally watched it!

When he said "bombard the island" that's literally what happened in the original book that it was based on.

The book the movie is based on actually has a few differences in its outcome, and you get to hear a lot more of Malcolm's outlook on the park and trying to control nature in general. Muldoon -- the hunter with the shotgun -- actually doesn't use a shotgun in the book. He uses huge tranquilizers, because Hammond refused to buy the weapons he requested to put down the dinosaurs if the need arose beyond a single rocket launcher, which is actually necessary because the fully grown dinosaurs are built in such a way that they won't go down unless you rip them apart. If memory serves he actually ends up hitting one with a rocket and it manages to limp away, wounded but still alive. It's also worth mentioning that different characters die in the book than do in the movie.

What you have to realise about watching this movie today is when we saw it in the cinema 30 years ago no one had ever seen CGI dinosaurs before. We had only seen jerky stop motion dinosaurs that could never be truly convincing. We literally sat watching the movie with our chins on our laps. It was amazing.

There was a life sized movable T Rex upstairs in the Times Square Toys-R-Us back in the 90's. It would move slightly, looking around and having the tip of its tail move around but every ten minutes or so, it would let out a huge roar. I hated Toys-R-Us but LOVED the T-Rex and went there every time we were in NYC

One thing i never noticed until recently..when they come in to see the eggs at the begining with the asian scientist, he was erasing what looked like some sort of data sheets. Which from what i understand is a big no no in any scientific field. This is forshadowing and its brilliant.

I saw this on opening day in Austin Texas with my uncle and my brother. I was just shy of my 18th birthday. You can’t imagine how incredible it was to see the dinosaurs on the big screen. The oohs and aahs and gasps of amazement from the crowd were so loud in the theater. I still get goosebumps thinking about it almost 30 years later.

I remember watching it in '93. I was 5 and it was the best film experience of my life. My mind was blown.

The fat joke, "Check the vending machines" escapes every reaction channel creator. I notice it because I'm hefty 😂😂😂

This is one of the first films I remember having surround sound in the theater. Even the first teaser trailer I saw in the theater, it was just a black screen and you heard huge thuds down one side of the theater until it got to the screen and then the T-Rex roar with a coming soon date and the title. Theater was dead silent after that.

I saw this when I was 13, and I can still remember the feeling when I came out of the cinema.

A quarter of a century after the film came out, and grown people are still speechless when they watch the majestic shots. A truly classical movie that will live for a long long time.

I always found it funny that Hammond's grandkids are snuggled up next to Dr. Grant and not their grandfather at the end of the movie. They must hate him for having them almost eaten by dinosaurs.

Cool effect: they couldn't get the water in the cup to ripple _just_ right until an fx person thought to attach a guitar string to the bottom of the truck and strum it.

i seen this in the theaters when it came out. it had surrond sound. and we were all jumping and screaming too. haha.

In reality, they couldn't open doors, their arm posture wouldn't allow it too mechanically. There is a lot of artistic license in this franchise.

Aside from the computers and whatnot, this film holds up so well.

This was my favorite movie, when i was a little kid. Today, I'm 31 and I still love the Jurassic park movies and, of course, Jurassic world 🙌🏼 great reaction guys, keep going 🙏🏼

Fun Fact the Little boy in this movie also plays Sledge in The Pacific.

Imagine being 5-6 yrs old and seeing those raptors for the first time. Took till my teens to watch those scenes without being terrified. Still get goosebumps and that T-Rex car scene where the ceiling glass came down on the kids was not in the script. Their screams were real.

The Young boy (Tim) in this movie, was the actor who played Eugene Sledge in the WW2 mini series The Pacific.

I freaking LOVE you guys. Your reactions are always JUUUUST different enough from typical reactions to things that it reminds me of things I never remember. Never remember just watching reaction videos and not the actual movie I mean. You tend to be able to leave more music and soundtrack in your videos, even watching a reaction to Jurassic Park, it severely hurts the FEELING of the first time we see a dinosaur without the iconic music. But what struck me here is the DEPTH of Ian Malcolm's explantation of why all this is a TERRIBLE idea. Nobody ever shows him breaking it down and I forgot how perfectly logical it is.

Some movies are just better at the theater on a big screen. This is one of them. I had seen the movie once but while waiting for my movie to start next door I snuck into Jurassic Park and sat on the very front row. It was the scene when they see the first big dinosaur. It was even more impressive sitting that close. It looked life-size!

I love the Jurassic Park movies, and now with the last one coming out in June, the old meets the new! I can't wait!

Have just found you two in the last couple of days.I am enjoying your genuine enthusiasm for the action stuff, without glossing over the messages in those movies. I loved your reaction to "12 Angry Men", a lot of people miss so much nuance in that film. I subbed after the first reaction I watched. It is really refreshing to see creators/reactors from other countries and cultures not just American. I am from Australia [very multi-cultural] and am loving you two.

Yay! You two always put a smile on my face! btw, this was done with both CGI *and* physical puppets/animatronics.

Also. if you suffer electrocution, it will cause your muscles to activate...so if you're gripping something, you will tend to grip it as strongly as you can, as the current activates your electro-chemical motor nerves. Tim wouldn't have been thrown off the fence, he would have gripped it, pulled himself closer, and continued to cook. I've noticed this mistake in a few Spieilberg films...in his universe, you get thrown back by electricity.

Scientists: We can extract dinosaur DNA and recreate them! also scientists: "I have a great idea! let's recreate the ones that spit poison and the ones that can outrun us and outthink us!"

When this came out, I've seen it probably more then 20 times in the theater.

One of the oft-overlooked ironies of this movie is Hammond's repeated use of the phrase "spared no expense." Sure, he had state-of-the-art technology, gourmet meals, and all that, but skimped where he should have truly spared no expense: redundant systems so no one person could shut down the power, and paying his employees. It's a bit more clear in the book, but Nedry only tried to steal the embryos because he felt he was underpaid & underappreciated by Hammond. Heck, even paying to put two screws holding the sign to the post would have prevented it from twisting around; Nedry would have dropped off the can & returned to the restart the power if Hammond hadn't been miserly on things that weren't designed to draw in the tourists.

The T-Rex breaking out of his enclosure and roaring might be a fun "caption this" competition. "Get the hell off my planet, worms! I am the king!"

The T-rex in this movie is the same one that appears in the Jurassic World movies, her name is Rexy by the time of the Jurassic World movies she's quite an old dinosaur but still strong enough to hunt and kill things.

I saw this movie on a huge screen when it arrived in 1993. I had no idea what the movie was about! I just knew it was Spielberg so I had to see it! The special effects were so ahead of its time, for a week afterwards every time I saw my cat walk down the hallway, I pictured a dinosaur jumping in out of nowhere and attacking it.

Funny when you say male t-rex's would be territorial but it was actually females who were always larger and more aggressive than the males! This occurs in other animals like eagles, falcons, some wolves species, hyenas and some frog and fish species! All these actually have the females as the larger and more protective of the two genders! :D

Birds actually have more aggressive females usually, and T. Rex's closest relative is birds. Maybe a male t. rex would've been calmer haha

Fun fact for you, during the first scene with the T-Rex, when it goes through the glass roof of the car, that wasn't supposed to happen, it was a malfunction of the machine they were using, so the kids reactions are legit.

I don't think y'all get it... before this movie came out, the ONLY way we saw 'live-action' dinosaurs was with jerky stop-motion. Dr Grant and Ellie's reaction was our reaction. Hell, they didn't even show the dinosaurs in the commercials, except for the T-Rex in the rain roaring. We. Were. Floored. The combo of CGI and life-sized mechanicals... movie effects have never been the same since.

25:43 is THE moment that I await in each JP reaction. My first time with that part, I jumped out my seat. One of my fave films ever! Fun reaction!

Another suspense film from Steven Spielberg in the same tradition as Jurassic Park & Jaws is Duel (1971). A TV movie that was extended to be theatrically released.

That was a great reaction. You guys definitely need to do the next two "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic Park III" as they have the same actors.

Fun fact. The glass roof of the car was not supposed to break. It was actually storming on set and the rain shorted out the Rexy's tech. The kids terror was real.

The actor who played Lex also acted as Mindy in Tremors years earlier.

After Steve Spielberg finished directing Jurassic Park he went on to direct a more serious film, it's called Schindler's List.

16:06 " he deserved it, he left the kids" she is like Judge Dredd ;)

You guys are my fav reactors. You really get into every scene. Keep em' coming!

My number 1 favorite movie of all time! Several Directors were considered for the job before Spielberg was chosen: Richard Donner Joe Dante Tim Burton James Cameron. Several actors were considered for Alan Grant: Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Sam Shepard, Dennis Quaid, Richard Dreyfuss, Michael Biehn, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robin Williams, Dylan McDermott Jeff Bridges, Pierce Brosnan, Tom Hanks, Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, and William Hurt. Several Actresses were considered for Ellie Satler: Juliette Lewis, Helen Hunt, Genevieve Bujold, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Geena Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan, Kelly McGillis, Julia Roberts, Linda Hamilton, Kim Basinger, and Jodie Foster. Several actors were considered for Ian Malcolm: Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Bruce Campbell, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson Michael J Fox and Bill Paxton. Several actors were considered for John Hammond: Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood Jon Pertwee, Marlon Brando, Ian Bannen, Paul Newman, and Charlton Heston. The movie was a box office and critical success, making $1 billion dollars against a $65 million dollar budget. It won 3 Oscars: Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing.

A lot of foreshadowing in the movie. Dilo's traits are given, you know what it is when it spits at Nedry. Grant tells the kid how the raptor in front is a decoy and they attack from the side, exactly how Muldoon dies. Grant says the rex doesn't want to be fed it wants to hunt, it is only interested in the gallimimus and raptors. Grant has two female buckles on the helicopter descent but ties them together, the only female breeding control is solved by one partner changing their role.

Because you guys reacted to 'The Pacific' I thought I'd point out that the actor who played Tim in this movie also played Eugene Sledge in 'The Pacific'

28:16 "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" 🤣....luv that reaction

I remember seeing this in NYC's late, great Ziegfeld Theatre on opening day -when the T Rex makes its 1st appearance you could hear a pin drop. A perfect blend of CGI & Practical f/x.

Spielberg’s amazing. He did Jaws, Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET the Extra Terrestrial, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List. Amazing movies. Love your reactions. Saw this in the theaters…scary stuff.

"You're going to need a bigger goat." ;)

The T-Rex breakout scene and Nedry’s death in the novel is just absolute nightmare fuel.

30:58 ...."The island it's gonna get boom boom bombarding"....Honestly, that would be the best that can happen to this franchise....Cause that means no sequels were made, each one worse than the previous....

My parents told me that scene when trex came gave even scare chills to adults let alone kids back then!

"Steven Spielberg, you did it again!" LOL, 29 years ago.

I bet I've watched this more than anyone in the world haha my parents said even when I was a few years old I sat and watched this from the time I woke up until I went to bed over and over and over again day and night for YEARS and still watch it today which I'm just turning 31 haha 18:32 All they had to do was go around to the side or the back of the tree instead of trying to out run the jeep

The Velociraptor in Jurassic Park is actually a Dakotaraptor in size and shape. Real Velociraptors are tiny, ferocious, feathery birds.

This movie is now approaching 30 years, since it’s release.

16:22 - Rexy (that's the official name of the t-rex) is not toying with them. Because of her inability to track anything that's not moving, she can't see Grant or the 2 kids. So, she's trying to flush them out by moving the car. If they run, they're dead.

A lot of the dinosaurs were CGI, but a surprising amount of them were robots and puppets. Most of the stuff with the T rex in the rain was a giant full-scale robot and a lot of the shots with the raptors were puppets! Imagine being on set and actually looking up into the jaws of a T rex . . . and knowing that if something broke, it actually could fall over and kill you!

I always look forward to first time viewers reaction to the raptor surprising Ellie. This was gold lol

Also, the reason the raptors didn't smell the kids to well in the kitchen, it was because of the mud and being outside all night in trees they don't have their normal human scent. So, the raptors weren't able to pin their location.

“This looks like King King’s island” lmfao yall are hilarious

If I was in the movie and I was in the scene where Alan got Tim out of the tree my character would’ve blamed her for nearly getting everyone killed by turning on that light

The book this is based on, was written by Michael Crichton. He was a doctor. He has another one you should see, "Andromeda Strain", the film not the TV series. There are other films based on his works but they are not as good because they didn't following his writings. LOL I really enjoyed watching you guys cringe at the scary moments. Great reaction, as always!

25:42 LOL best jump scare! Great reaction guys, hoepfully you react to all of them (there are 4 more), they're so much fun!

Ahhhhh, fond memories of watching this for the first time in the theaters with my father when I was in sixth grade. Dinos are always going to be awesome.

"Not a good idea man "- Best dialogue ever.

I'm officially addicted to this channel. Your reactions are so much fun.

Very fun reaction! This is the movie that got me interested in becoming an animator. Nowadays you see CG animated creatures everywhere you look but when this first came out, nobody had ever seen animation that realistic. :) Keep up the good work.

Spielberg actually split part of his time between directing this movie and working on Schindler's List. He was a very busy man back then

First off, sir, I love your accent! Now then, this movie is my childhood. I know it so well I can quote it from beginning to end. It’s SO MUCH FUN to see someone watch for the first time. Thanks for this video. :)

this couple was fun to watch. thanks guys!

Spielberg is a genius. He has a knack for choosing great child actors.

Fun Fact: Princess Diana and the cast watched the Royal Premiere of Jurassic Park in the Empire Theater in Leicester Square, London. She did not bring her kids (11-8yo) because it might have been scary for them.

25:43 made me LOL! Was like when you both screamed in Jaws when that man's head popped out the boat. 😆 I like watching your reaction videos!

Some great classic movies: Ben Hur (1959) Epic drama with Charleton Heston, To Have and Have Not (1944) Romance/Adventure with Humphrey Bogart, based on a Hemmingway novel, The Quiet Man (1952) Romantic Comedy with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.

I love it when Marian always says, "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah". LOL

I’m sure someone has probably mentioned this but the little boy grew up to be the kid with the heart problem in the Pacific series of Band of Brothers. Love seeing you react to this great film!

Best part for me was Marion’s chicken imitation. THAT WAS AMAZING

At 4:10 I thought that gleeful ping sound came from Her but it was from faux shave cream can being opened .😆

The raptors in the kitchen scene were actually men in raptor suits, which is why they looked so real.

for its time, the cgi wasnt too bad, but most of it was the animatronics, model and costume design and puppetry with head and legs, amazing, they looked so real for its time, thanks to stan winston, also being the lead costume designer for predator aswell, how they made his face move etc, sadely everything now is just cgi, they need to bring back these amazing moments

this movie is a great example of why risk management is important in modern cyber security. nedry would never be allowed to have his position.

It's funny because raptors at our most optimistic estimates are actually about as smart as coyotes. Many of the special effects are animatronics.
