The CGI was soooo good for the time. That first moment when you see the sauropod… majestic.

Saw this twice in the theater in 1993. What a ride!

I remember seeing this as a kid and being mesmerized in the theatre.

We had a tech & cars magazine that my dad ordered and they had a long article about the special effects in this movie..

my 11th bday at the cinema! never forget the whole cinema jumping when the goats leg lands on the car roof!!!

No one had seen a realistic dinosaur in general.

@@GlitchMcGuffin Hell compared to newer Jurassic Parks.. This still has the best CGI.. Even the CGI today is so fake looking.

Fun fact: It's because of this movie that Peter Jackson realized he could make a movie with monsters and creatures in it.... he ended up making Lord of the Rings.

@@stephaniem6482 Nice! Didn't know that!I loved LOTR. Sure wish Hobbit was as good, because the book is great.

i was 10 when i watched it in theatre it was awsome also it wasn't known dinos have feathers back then...

@user-hk7hz9cn7v those Jurassic Park and jurassic world movies were scarily awesome , and dope I love the t rex🦖he's my fave cos hes so majestic, powerful, strong, kool dinosaur

They even made a full sized animatronic T-Rex. Like wtf.

He cut corners in countless places, he "spared no expense" when it came to having fancy food and celebrity voiceovers for the tour.

@@WJS774you are absolutely correct. Once I became an adult that line turned into such irony.

In the novel it's even worse, they make it very clear that he cheaped out at almost every possible stage. Hammond was a far less sympathetic character in the novel.

This movie kinda ruined my life. lol I was told that for the rumble effect when the water vibrates they had to invent the technology to transmit that low boom. Apparently that low note wasn't possible before except in live performances. That's why now you hear the cars go by and the subwoofers shake everything. I'm sensitive to noise so having those stereos in my neighborhood makes my life crappy. So every time I see the water in the cup shake, I remember how cool it seemed in the theater but then not knowing that it would be the end of peace and quiet.

The first movie to use THX it because the industry standard for years afterwards .

I remember all of that!! I also remember that this was the first movie that featured SUVs... before that, I didn't really see that many around. This movie catapulted the success of the Ford Escape. One of these days, I need to read the book. I also remember getting really freaked out by the T-Rex! "Where's the goat?"

@@HeatherDeweyPettet definitely read the book, it definitely fleshes out some of the details and there are parts in the film I wish were in it. You will be surprised who actually lives in the end and who does.

I was gonna mention the same.

I had never put that together! Awesome!

I do love the little references.

What? It was just a mechanic error. No deep meaning needed.

@@strangebiped not per Spielberg

Perfect foreshadowing. Films today don't do it as well.

It still looks better than any of the recent sequels that rely on cgi and an oversaturated polish where you lose the sense of realism and grit. New ones look "produced", while the classics have a more sincere feel. Wish I was born 10 years earlier so I could have watched it in cinema

The initial roar of the T-Rex after she escaped the paddock blew my 8 year old mind away back in 93.

I've seen "historically accurate" videos of Jurassic Park dinos and they look ugly.

@@drakke125Channel Don't trust those videos. Most of them are made by KZfaq "experts" who are baiting for views and discussions rather than staying scientifically objective (aka they have the latest data, but they use their own subjective interpretation of that data and act as if it means anything they say is scientifically accurate - but often times they neglect a lot of context that people who actually study paleontology and biology would know and incorporate into their opinions and suggestions). The main way to determine if a "historically accurate JP" vid is a hoax, is to simply see how often the content creator is featuring self doubt and questioning their own findings. If they don't do this at literally every step of the way, and with no further explanation as to why not, then they're likely a hoax who's just farming views and engagement.

​@@drakke125Channel Have you checked out prehistoric planet?

Yup. Blues Brothers is alot of fun. Also, bet they haven't seen Casablanca

Yeah, I don’t why y’all are recommending these violent/scary movies. Princess Bride is a way better choice for these two.

*AS YOU WISH*

You would also love Willow, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, The Never Ending Story, Hook, The Chronicles of Narnia(The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe,Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) The Harry Potter films, and The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring,The Two Towers, and The Return of the King)

@@geneinkc Maybe we should tell them it’s a kissing movie 😅

Micheal Crichton has written some brilliant books & several of them have been made into great films including Timeline (one of my favourites), Coma, Westworld, The Andromeda Strain, Congo, Sphere, Rising Sun & The 13th Warrior .... such a talented storyteller ....

She is an artist and Joseph Mozello is still acting. He went on to The Social Network and played Queen bass guitarist, John Deacon, in Bohemian Rhapsody

Nah. He's mediocre. It was simply written with a future movie in mind. More a script than a novel.

@@kimghanson Have you actually read the novel? No way I would call that thing a script.

@@johnjsal Oh yes. I read the novel shortly after it was published. It struck me as I was reading that this would make a good movie, it could be easily transcribed into a script, and I think he probably did it that way with hopes of a future movie. When they movie was announced, I was vindicated. Perhaps I just got lucky but those were certainly my feelings at the time.

Jurassic Park isn't really an especially good movie, the story is really stupid, the acting is meh, and the dinos are laughably overpowered for what they are, but Spielberg absolutely knows how to hit the emotional beats. That reveal of the first dinosaur out on the plains, the rising music, the crescendo as it literally causes a mini-earthquake coming down... Few moments top that in any other movie. And he managed to get quite a few similar moments (of other emotions) out of this movie.

@@DoremiFasolatido1979 They don't focus on it in the movie but the dinos in the park aren't 100% copies of the originals. The designers may have embellished some traits more than others to make them appear more like what we would expect a dinosaur to be like. At least that's the in-universe excuse.

The practical effects too. Incredible. Looks better than ANY of the lazy regurgitated bs today

@@DoremiFasolatido1979 Jurassic Park is a wonderful movie. The story concept was original at the time. The mosquito explanation is clever. There's comic relief galore. There is depth in the lunch conversation. Attenborough's performance about the flee circus is well done. There is suspense, wonder, and horror throughout. It is a perfect movie.

@@nonconsensualopinion No...just...no. It's all that...to a child, who knows nothing. Or a child in an adult's body, who apparently still knows nothing. If your world has to be magical to be amazing, you're the flaw, not the world.

Fun fact: Triceratops was the only herbivore species that not only _could_ beat T-rexes on one-on-one battle, but did it often! That why Triceratops has been my favorite dinosaur since I was a kid. 🤓

Don't worry if Luka turns out like my son was from ages 3-5 y'all about to know all the dinosaur names.

In the book, the triceratops were eating the African violets but it was throwing them up which is why it wasn't found in the poop. If you are into reading the book is fabulous.

A ten year old boy has entered the chat.

@@Roguefem76 there is literally and I mean literally no evidence whatsoever that the two fought each other....

Still doesn't really make sense to me, I mean is it really that big a deal if he has to walk an extra ten yards to meet up with her? She's injured, he's fine.

E.T. is a great movie for kids

Little Drew Barrymore is in it ❤️

@@karadavis3590 E.T. was a horror movie for me as a kid. That alien is terrifying.

First movie I saw in the theater when I was 4.

Awwwww ❤️ Amber would LOVE E.T.

Many people have replicated that look by using resin, I think theres a guy here on KZfaq that recreated Hammonds cain with the amber handle using I think bamboo and resin.

Yes, Amber is very pretty. 😉

@@centuryrox . . Now she knows where her name comes from... hardened fossilized tree sap!

You guys know where the error in this movie was?? Well, lets consider the billionaire old man ,who kept saying, "I've spared no expense", Really John? Then why the HELL didn't you have a BACKUP company, for the security system, in the event there's an unhappy employee,like Dennis, and he shuts down the security system, you should have to call a secondary back up company, to give access, before shutting down the security system! Viola. That would have kept the park opened for everyone to enjoy, but that flaw, of course, created the movie. The old man certainly spared some expense because a secondary company , probably not that expensive, on shore somewhere, should have been required as a double back up, before shutting down the fences.

@@globextradingsystemsllc1740 I am always amused by people who point out errors in this movie. They point out logical error and scientific errors, but never the most important one: We cannot clone dinosaurs.

You mistook the ending..the birds that you see at the end are actual dinosaurs..they are flying Pterodactyl not merely birds.

@@robertsmith3883 Those birds at the end are pelicans.

@@robertsmith3883 Jurassic Park 3 is the one with Pterodactyls :D This one just showed pelicans.

No guys, birds evolved from dinosaurs including pelicans.

@@robertsmith3883 No, he got it exactly right. The goal was for the audience to feel a sense of relief, after the the high-tense moments they just wittnessed. It's the end of the movie, the time for philosophical reasoning was at the beginning of the film. You're looking into messages that aren't there.

Lol. True but, honestly, that doesn't mean people wanna watch it happen. My wife was a vet tech and, as a result, we fostered a lot of dogs and cats over the years (as well as a goat, a rooster, and various other animals). When we had indoor/outdoor cats, I knew the cats were out there hunting birds and rodents and whatnot but I def didn't want to watch them killing one. Nature is, for lack of a better word, natural but I don't need to be standing by rooting it on. So, yeah, knowing it and spectating it are two separate things. I will never understand why people like to watch RL videos of animals fighting and/or killing other animals. I mean, live ya life but watching RL violence just isn't for me, dawg. The world is rough enough without making the darker parts of it your entertainment. With movies, I personally don't care as much bc it obvs isn't real (horror movies don't bother me at all for the same reason) but, idk, I think it's kind of sweet that J&A have enough empathy that it's hard for them to watch even the fictional depiction of a cow or goat getting munched. I mean, hell, they even felt bad about Newman and the bloodsucking lawyer getting eaten. That's a level of niceness and sweetness you don't run across too often and I'm here for it.

@@johnplaysgames3120 i can respect that.

I saved several chipmunks from my cat before she discovered they were delicious. They play 'possum. I remember staring at one when it's eye opened, and upon seeing a lumbering primate staring down at it, promptly jumped up and ran away.

I agree! When my husband and I were dating he wanted to see this movie near where I live because in his city they had smaller screens, our city we had bigger screens and all that Dolby digital surround sound all around the theater hearing all those creature noises around us! O my goodness! I must say this movie is popcorn tub worthy for us!

This and T2 are my FAVORITE two movies I saw when they first came out that blew me away and they still hold up over time;)

Have you seen "Tuning in"'s video about the Jurassic Park score? It's fantastic, and actually invokes that first time viewing feeling.

I was five, beat ya’.

I was in college and I would say the same thing!

I was 25 and fascinated. I was in the Marine Corps, and this was the first time I ever jumped in fright.

I was 21 or 22 but as much as fascinated😉

SEVEN!? I wasn't allowed to watch this until high school and I get why, I would've been shitting my pants at this in the theatre hahahaha

When the rob squad sees enough of the classics they need to see ready player one! A later Spielberg classic

well if you want to continue Steven Spielberg movies START with Raiders of the Lost Ark....continue with Close Encounters of the Third Kind..and end up with Catch Me If You Can

Well if you want to contine Steven Spielburg movies....START with Raiders of the Lost Ark, continue with Close Encounters of the Third Kind and end up with Catch Me If You Can.

I'm not certain they'll think E.T. is mellow. Do you remember his neck in the shed scene?! And how fast he runs? Remember, these guys were creeped out during The Goonies.

💯 Jurassic Park Amazing movie 🤩 and that restroom scene LOL that really mean old greedy lawyer guy selfishly abbonond those poor kids! He's just Desperately scrambling trying to hide sitting on the toilet 😥 and Rexy She found him and bites him up Shaking him around like a fun Dogy chew toy before Eating him up 😋 remember how funny looking it was??

It’s called Prehistoric Planet and yes, it’s fantastic!

@@TheDivayenta Yes thank you! In the moment I confused it with the one narrated by Sir John Hurt.

Prehistoric Planet

He's absolutely not the greatest naturalist in history by a long way. He's just the most marketed.

Richard Attenbourgh was a knighted lord. He pretty much founded modern Britsh Cinema. Ad well as a good actor he was a great director too. Won an Oscar for Ghandi

Hilarious movie...Love Mike Meyers! The Love Guru was pretty damn funny too.

Mike Myers films are filled with joy.

That scene made my 9 year old brother cry in the theater.

Yeah LOL 😂 that really mean old greedy lawyer guy selfishly abbonond those poor kids!!

@@donaldsteven7592 no, not at all haha

That is awesome!

@@robsquadmoviereactions Who Framed Roger Rabbit next for a nice change of pace.

@@thegladve I was going to mention that one too! I was at Disney World when they had the WFRR ride and the Dick Tracy tie in. All the costumes from the movie were there...makes you realize how short the actors are, lol! I had my picture taken in a Roger Rabbit car with him, so funny!

@@charlottemccaig578 Speaking of the unexpectedly small stature of some actors, I had a similar (but slightly different) experience at the Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. When checking out all the famous handprints, feetprints, and signatures in the cement outside the theater, I saw what appeared to be the prints of a tiny pair of ladies' high heel shoes. Then I read the name: John Wayne. They were his bootprints. Although John Wayne was 6'4"-ish (though Robert Mitchum claimed he wore 4-inch lifts in his boots), he apparently wore men's size 6 shoes. Katherine Hepburn described him as having "a pair of small, sensitive feet, carrying his huge frame as though it were a feather." Another time, on the Universal Studios tour, we got to see the "western town" facades and street where they filmed a number of westerns. On one side of the street, they built the doorways larger and, on the other side of the street, they built the doorways smaller. For certain shots, they filmed the ladies in the larger doorways so they looked smaller and more petite and they filmed the guys in the smaller doorways so they looked larger and more heroic. Hollywood magic!

@@robsquadmoviereactions does watching these Jurassic Park movies in a way make both of y'all love birds want 2 play Yu-Gi-Oh! using a Dinosaur Archetype/Theme Deck?

It's not a theory though, they are.

Sauropods and other large dinosaurs could not live in today's environment with a thinner, less oxygen saturated atmosphere. Dinosaurs also are hyped by Hollywood. The fossils only comprise a smaller fraction of total animal fossils. The average size of a dinosaur was also the size of a sheep. There is also scant evidence to show birds (warm blooded animals with completely different physiology) are in any way related to reptiles. The current evidence shows this, despite what the uninformed think about the "archaeopteryx" fossil. There is also evidence both from recent 1990s and forward and centuries to 1000 years old that there has been relatively recent deaths of certain species of dinosaurs (soft tissue, blood vessels from Montana /Utah/Dakotas; pictographs from Egypt, North America of things appearing to be sauropods - long necks, think bodies, long thick tails, with one showing what appears to be men controlling/riding/training them). A temple in Cambodia has a carving 700 yrs old with what appears to be a stegasaurus. An image in the UK several centuries old at the tomb of a bishop shows what looks like sauropods.

@@ITPalGame You lost me at the bishop tomb, you sound like a conspiracy theorist

@@m0onm0th you got lost at the mention of a tomb at a church in the UK? How is that a "conspiracy" of any kind? In the words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means". Why don't you look at the video collection playlist folder I have under "Church /Evolution /creation" for the dinosaur videos. Do your own homework.

So when we're eating chicken and turkey were eating dinosaurs!😮

the Velociraptors in this are basically bald Deinonychus

Seriously, great reaction??

I remember seeing Star Wars in the theater and the simple effect of streaking the stars when jumping to lightspeed blew my mind. Creativity wins, whether large or small.

⬆ I had tears the same way Dr. Sattler did, because I felt like I was seeing a real dinosaur. Of course, the swelling music and "Welcome...to Jurassic Park" from Lord Richard freakin' Attenborough probably helped. 😂 But we'd never seen anything so fantastical look so real. It was a bit overwhelming.

Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park really started the CGI revolution. Those films are up there with Star Wars, movies that changed everything. These films are iconic legendary masterpieces. I saw Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park at the cinema, and I realised that I was seeing a revolution in cinema unfold before my eyes.

Just Gen-X? Hello! Baby boomer fascinated with dinosaurs from age 8. Jurassic Park has some cringe worthy moments, but the dinosaur effects were goose-bumps. Star Wars. I was a college freshman in LA that year. I went home for Xmas break when there were still lines around the block for it. In Richmond VA they let me and my friend Scott sit through it twice in a row. They weren't even clearing the theater between showings. :0 LOL!

@@newmoon766 my bad. Ment pre- millen. This movie was the equivalent of going color in The Wizard of Oz. I feel a little CGI numb now, so I would probably be "meh" if J.P. came out now. P.S. The Last Starfighter rocks!!!

There were a lot of stories like that. I think it was the surround-sound, more than the visuals. No movie had ever been this intense before.

Seriously, a great reaction???

@@rileyandmike What makes you think otherwise?

me too! almost...6 actually. but 8 when finally came out on VHS

Don’t forget T2’s effects.

Yes, Almost famous is such a great movie and soundtrack! I would also add Pirate Radio, Forrest Gump and Dazed & Confused.

they will LOVE Almost Famous!!!

I love Almost Famous. If you’re going Cameron Crowe, Say Anything is also amazing

Almost famous is amazing. Great cast and soundtrack.

Trading Places is a favorite Christmas movie!

Forrest Gump has a great soundtrack.

My teacher hated us for a while because we played velociraptors and chased each other like mad people. Being kids was awesome

@@Gnossiene369 SAME LOL

Your dad thought that showing you a rad movie with awesome looking dinosaurs in it would make you talk about dinosaurs LESS? What exactly was his thought process there, I wonder?

Good Suggestion.

I’d say the effects aren’t that dated, they hold up better than Star Wars episode one (for example) and that came out several years later.

It was mind blowing back in 1993 when it was in theaters. It was the perfect blend of physical animatronic props for the dinos and CGI. I personally would take physical props over CGI any day because no matter how good you are CGI doesnt age as well as physical props do.

@@matthewsuchomski2593 i agree

@@matthewsuchomski2593 Yeah, a lot of the "Jurassic Park" FX still look great because Spielberg learned the value of obscuring the limitations of an effect from his experience on "Jaws." And, of course, as always, he surrounded himself with people who are really smart and REALLY good at what they do. In the early part of the movie, though, when the sun is still up and everything's in relatively bright light, the effects are, by modern standards, a little rough. This is at least partially because ambient occlusion wasn't a thing at the time and, without it, the contrast on the dinos is pretty flat, especially when compared to the light and contrast of the people and things around them. Once the sun goes down, though, the filmmakers start using a lot of intense directional lighting, edge lighting, rain, lightning strikes, etc. to confuse the eye and obscure the flatness of the old CG. It's really well thought out and well done and this is why, e.g., the T-Rex CG still looks so awesome, even this many years later. Corridor Crew actually did a really great video on it. As far as The Phantom Menace goes, I haven't watched it since it came out and I saw it in the theater. I'll take your word for it that the FX don't hold up as well because, honestly, I have no desire to revisit that movie. Jar-Jar me once, shame on you... Jar-Jar me twice, shame on me.

Hard to imagine but "Blues Brothers 2000" was even better! First me anyway, I have both.

Yeah I asked my in-laws not to take my 9 yr old to see it - and they took him anyways - I was so angry - luckily for them he didn't have nightmares etc - I was not pleased but then my m-i-l used to wake my husband (her son) to watch the old horror movies with her late at night - he loved them and I grew to tolerate them over 40plus years together.

Great suggestion. Then eventually "Help" 👍

Also, The Rules! A great Beatles parody film with great music! 😁

Also, do not forget Powers Boothe is in Red Dawn, too. The remake was a disappointment, but the original is a great flick

@@broodhunter2 The remake was 🤮

Is any of that true? Or are you just rattling off the names of all the actors that were around back then?
