That child that said "That's not very scary it's more like a 6 ft turkey" Uhm, a modern turkey that is 6 feet tall would be darn scary in my opinion.

Several reactors have questioned why the kids are there in a potentially dangerous place. I have never seen any reactor catch on to what the chief miner tells Gennaro at the start explaining why Hammond isn't there. Hammond is supporting his daughter while she gets divorced. The kids are visiting grandpa to distract them from the divorce. It's also why Gennaro running away from their car affects Lex so much. Her father has left and then another authority figure man abandons them.

“Thank god he did it on an island” *nervously looks at the second movie*

The old guy that Lucy found funny was played by the late actor Sir Richard Attenborough, he was the older brother of biologist and natural historian Sir David Attenborough, and I agree with Daniel the effects of this film still hold up even after all these years.

'Because people like boobs.' might be the most accurate statement ever. It blows my mind that in the helicopter landing near the start, Dr Grant can only find two 'female' seatbelt ends and he ties them together to secure himself as best he can. And instead of this being just a humorous shot at his expense, it is also very subtle foreshadowing of the Jurassic Park engineers making only female dinosaurs and life 'finding a way' to make it work. The real lesson of Jurassic Park is that if you are going to let IT drive your business, don't under-invest in IT.

“If you play with fire, you eventually get burned!” - a wonderfully simple and accurate summary of the movie’s premise

Lmao "thats too small for a dinosaur" as if all dinosaurs were huge. A flock of Compys would like to have a word with her.

I love how people who don't like science fiction and fantasy films can change their minds. Movies are founded on fantasy and the impossible.

That raptor jump scare in the maintenance shed gets every first time watcher 🤣

When Grant takes his glasses off and the music swells, ooofff, just chills. I was 13 years old when my folks took me to see this movie at a drive in. Its 30 years later and I still get goose bumps.

Great to see this reaction and that Lucy can admit she was wrong and can appreciate how Jurassic Park's 30 year old CGI and practical effects were extremely good and still hold up.

Fun fact: according to the movie's sound director in an interview from 2015, most of the animal noises were made using recordings of baby animals, the T-rex raor is a baby elephant, the raptor's chirps are a combination of dolphin clicks and calls, and something else, i forget which though, but the real funny part, is that bark the one raptor made when it endtered the kitchen (and in the main hall of the visitor's centre), that is apparently the recording of a male tortoise during mating.

Jurassic Park is such an amazing movie, not only did the film herald a new era in computer-generated movie effects, it also revived the field of paleontology, with many museums seeing a rise in attendance and colleges saw an increase in paleontology degree seekers.

"it's for dramatic pause like 'I will catch you'" - LMAO hahaha never thought of that till you said it. Now every time I see that scene I'm going to hear the raptor saying that 🤣

It's important to keep in mind the kind of computers that were available to Hollywood to make this film. Computers weren't in the GHz range they are today, they were in the MHz range and rendering a single frame, let alone a single scene, took quite a bit of time. The fact that we can look at this film in 2024 and still be amazed by the quality is nothing short of a miracle in filmmaking in 1993. Your cellphone has more computational power than all the computers COMBINED that made this movie. They did incredibly well to make the dinosaurs convincing, even to this day. Oh, and the T-Rex will always be my favorite dinosaur. It's just 100% awesome. I'm glad you liked this film!

In 1993 I was 26 years old and had absolutely loved dinosaurs for about 23 years. I saw this in the theater and I felt like Dr. Grant at the first sight of the "giraffe" dinosaur (Brachiosaurus) when he had to sit down and try to breathe. Me too. Nothing had ever been like this. CGI was brand new and Hollywood had never used it on this scale so nobody had ever seen a movie like this. Today, we have millions of CGI movies so this is nothing special, but in 1993 the beauty and majesty of these amazing creatures that I had loved for nearly my whole life was overwhelming. I truly couldn't even breathe.

I think Malcolm understands that “standing on the shoulders of giants” is how science works. His point is more about immediately grabbing a brand new type of knowledge and using it not for further understanding but instead exploiting it for profit without ethical considerations or thought for broader consequences.

"The fluffies need to eat!" 😂Excellent comedic timing. And I think Lucy might be the only person who's ever reacted to that velociraptor hatching with "It's so fluffy!" - congrats haha.

I saw this 6 times in theaters as a kid with different people almost every time. That's how epic it was. When CGI was brand new and blended beautifully with practical effects. Not completely depended on as it is now. I will never forget feeling the steps of the T-Rex as the water ripples...now that's chaos. One of the greatest cinematic experiences ever.

Sam Jackson likes to think his character survived and is living on the island with one arm, riding a Velocraper lol

I remember having this movie on vhs and watching it over and over. When my little brothers were finally old enough to watch it with me it became a bonding moment watching their reactions for the first time 😂

I've seen the movie many times. But the build-up to the intro of the T-Rex is something I STILL find scary.

One of the benefits of having the DVD when I was younger is being able to watch the behind-the-scenes/making of videos and whats amazing is that they CREATED the program for the cgi. They show what the cgi looked like when they started but they show how they developed it to truly give the dinosaurs a sense of immense weight. It was REVOLUTIONARY for the time and still holds up really well today, and the animatronics were also PHENOMENAL, like the idea that they made that giant T-Rex?? And the details, the dilation of the eyes in the window, just amazing. They DID run into issues with the t-rex, it kept malfunctioning in the rain, to the point that it almost crushed someone when it was being repaired I could gush more about the making of, if you guys have a chance to watch it DO IT, its just fascinating

Jurassic park originally used stop frame animation for the dinosaurs as that was the tried and tested method for creatures for a very long time, it was only after some of the Sfx team members revealed they had been working in secret on a homemade CGI system and had prepared a demo reel which impressed Spielberg so much they made the switch, there is still some of the stop motion test footage out there like the Raptors in the Kitchen.

At the time i was a teenager at high school thinking nothing could beat Terminator 2 special effects and went to see Jurassic Park with my mates at the weekend to see it thinking we saw T2 only a couple years ago how could it be any better but boy i was wrong Jurassic Park was all we could talk about all week.

As a big Spielberg and dinosaur fan, this is one of my favorite movies. I read the Michael Crichton book when it was published and waited for the movie when it was announced. I think I saw it at least a dozen times in the theaters. The special effect were state of the art then and they still hold up. So was the story. Cloning was still a relatively new technology at the time. Dolly the sheep wasn't even cloned until 1996. In reality, there is no evidence that T-rex couldn't see you if you didn't move so, if you ever come across a T-rex, run! In real life, Velociraptors were about the size of wild turkeys. What they portray in the movie are closer to Deinonychus. I guess they decided that 'raptor' just sounded cooler. Also, dinosaurs would have a hard time surviving in today's world. The air in the Cretaceous period contained about 50% more oxygen than it does now, and the temperatures would have been 5-10 degrees warmer than today. That T-rex chasing the jeep would have had to stop every few steps to catch her breath. 😂 The Lost World:Jurassic Park II is pretty good too. You should watch it. JP3 isn't nearly as good, but it does complete the original trilogy.

So glad you showed her this film! It is my all time favorite movie! Still holds up today! Classic!

Sees goat eaten: "Aaaaaah nooooo!" Sees lawyer eaten: "I guess the investors aren't gonna know what happened..."

The funny thing is back in 1993 they advertised this as a happy dinosaur movie, especially with the toys so my father took me and my sister (7 and 5) during opening week. when the movie started off with the park employee being killed by the raptors he knew he might have made a mistake bringing kids to the movie. my sister was scared and a mess we had to leave early, we left just after Nedry got eaten in his Jeep during the storm.

When we as teenagers first watched this film in 1993, we were shocked at how realistic the dinosaurs were.

The birds at the end were the Condors mentioned in the meeting going extinct so seeing a number of them showing they haven't died off due to Human intervention is what made him smile.

The fact that there are people who have never seen this movie is flabbergasting to me.

Ahahaha! 😆 When she said she knew what the movie was about, then proceeded to describe it incorrectly, I just had to laugh. And then... "stop motion". Oh lol! 😂😂😂 With the bar that low, this definitely would blow her mind. 😄

Jurassic Park is one of those movies that goes to a whole 'nother level in theaters where the dinosaurs look bigger. If you get the chance, watch it in a theater.

The thing that I've noticed about most people who don't 'like' kids is that even if they don't like children, they do care about them. They still understand the importance of helping and taking care of them in dire situations despite not wanting to have any of their own.

I just love the fact that man who introduces dinosaurs to us is played by the real-life brother of David Attenborough.

15:52 “Just wondered how the hell is that possible”. John Hammond: “I’ll show you” 😂😂 I love seeing people watch Jurassic Park for the first time. So many of our reactions mirror the reactions of Grant/Sattler in the film. The awe at the brachiosaurus, the deep focus whilst the science is explained, the jump scares as the raptor appears. And I agree, the acting is exemplary. Particularly Richard Attenborough as John Hammond.

My favorite moment in a movie theater was watching this movie and when Dr Grant and Dr Sadler first spot the Dino eating a tree, they do move in heards

We went to the movie bored with decades of stop-motion animation,..& our minds were BLOWN AWAY by the close up animatronics (the sick dino) & the CGI totally blew us away!

5 deaths. The worker, Nedry, The Lawyer, Samuel L. Jackson, and the game warden.

I've never seen someone who is so correct and so wrong about what a movie is about at the same time.

Lex in the book was younger than her brother, but Ariana Richards stunned everyone during her audition and they aged the role for her

BTW birds are dinosaurs. The meteor wiped out all Non-avian dinos but some remained and became birds. There is so much more info from when they made this film. Dinos had feathers and most were believed not drab green or brown. Also they found out that TRex can still see you if you stay still.

I really wish I could watch this movie for the first again because its characters are such a great reflection of the audience. Like even though these characters are experts in their field, they’re not 100% confident or sure about their surrounds or the choices the park has made. And yet it’s very natural and doesn’t degrade the characters, they’re asking questions any person would ask. And seeing your girlfriend interact with the movie, thinking along side the characters, and have her questions answered is just amazing to watch unfold

If you werent around when this came out, it's really hard to overstate just how huge of an event it was. This movie effectively re-oriented the entire movie industry. As a 6 year old, it scared the living shit out of me, but the ending with the T-Rex flexing on the raptors and saving the day softened the overall blow enough for me to not be given months of nightmares.

"Spared no expense" except when it came to the guy who had control over it all.

Tell your girlfriend that being clever has one downside - no need to experience anything cause you can just imagine it. Thank God for people like the boyfriend who make her try new things. We all need people like this in our lives.

It doesn't matter how often I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare. Side notes: The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects. The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), with koala, lion & tiger sounds and alligator gurgles thrown in and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death). The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds. The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and dolphin mating scream, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds. The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of an active fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s). (There's an "s" in parentheses because depending on whether or not whales have teeth or baleen plates (think of them as biological water filters) in their mouths, whales have either one or two blowholes) The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a mare (female horse) in heat, while their movements were inspired by those of ostriches. A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart." Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.

The real velosiraptor was not quite as big as you see in the movie. They weighed no more than 50lbs and were 2 ft high at the hip. They were also covered in feathers. Of such an animal would not generate the suspense that the movie velosiraptor generates.

I think a lot of the inital hype came from Crichton's book firstly, and then the excitement that such (then) cutting edge adventure book was coming to the movie screen and being Steven Spielberg directing that just boosted the hype through the roof! Anyway fantastic reactions, thank you both!

Fun one, you two! Glad you enjoyed it so much. It was a lot of fun rewatching this with you. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂

It is great that Lucy picked up on the “robotic” feel of some shots. The close-up interactions with the actors were done with practical puppets and animatronics. The full-size dinosaurs were the first fully realized CGI dinosaurs and enabled the running and other movement that would have been stop motion prior to this film. There are some great documentaries about how this movie basically was the death of mainstream stop-motion animation.

She’d just love the original “Land of the Lost” TV show. The puppet dinosaurs would drive her crazy

He apparently did spare an expense. Back up generators.

As a kid this movie blew my mind when it first came out. I saw it 7 times in the theater. This movie still holds up to this day.

45:30 No, guys, you're forgetting this was a park. There are several employees working there. There are scientists, people who deal with dinosaurs, veterinarians, doctors, engineers, etc. If only the helicopter personnel escaped, there would have been several deaths.

"Cause people like boobs" She knows people well lol

What no one ever seems to notice is, they DID have the park under control. It was Nedrick's sabotage that ruined everything. Einstein is a German name, and in German it's pronounced Ein-shtein. English speakers tend to pronounce it Ein-stein.

When this movie was released, the CGI was state of the art. There was nothing else that came close and nothing to compared. Now, of course, there is much to compare and show how this first gen CGI is lacking. I saw this in the theater when it came out and it was amazing.

Was fortunate enough to see this on the big screen when I was 7. Was such a spectacle for the time. I was really into dinosaurs too at the time. It holds up pretty well after all these years.

I don't think there are "sci-fi haters," only people who haven't seen the good sci-fi.

The scene with Trex attacking the kids used an animatronic model that broke and fell, breaking the window which shpukdnt have happened, so the screaming of the kids was real.

This girl reacting to it understood everything explained in the movie immediately. When I first saw the mosquito in the amber I was wondering why there’s a cockroach in gold until the explanation came along

It's ironic that at the beginning of the video she made a point of how bad dinosaurs looked on screen.. not knowing how this movie changed that forever LOL🤣

**about to watch the greatest movie ever made** "What do you think this movie is about?" "It's gonna be terrible."

If you’re going to watch the entire Jurassic franchise, you need to watch it in this order: 1. Jurassic Park 2. The Lost World: Jurassic Park 3. Jurassic Park 3 4. Jurassic World 5. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom 6. Battle at Big Rock 7. Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous 8. Jurassic World: Dominion (Extended Cut) 9. Jurassic World: Chaos Theory

I’ve seen this movie a million times and it just occurred to me that they fed the T-Rex through underground access meaning there are at least places to hide underneath the enclosures or even potentially an underground tunnel system.

“Stop motion dinosaurs” 😂 I can’t wait for this!

i got trigered when she said 'oh its way to small to be a dinosaur' 6:34

“Huh. Kinda looks like Samuel L Jackson.” … “It Is Samuel L Jackson.” “…heh..” 🫥😂

Love your Soms of Anarchy shirt! Also, she is adorable lol! The way she says Dinner-saurs and that line “Because everyone likes boobs.” 🤣

My dogs learned how to open doors too, and draws and cabinets, we had to use child locks to keep them out of things, lol. We put them in a bedroom when leaving the house and we added a child gate with a locking latch, it was the only way to keep them in the room without them escaping.

The old guy was the brother of the famous biologist/natural world presenter Sir David Attenborough

I always find it difficult to tell the real dinosaurs from the fake ones.

I was 9 when this movie came out in theaters, I swear this was made for a 9 year old. So epic 🤘

Jurassic Park is my favorite movie, and consequently, my favorite to watch reactions to, and the raptor jump scare gets EVERYONE. XD

In the novel, there are mentioned reports of weird lizards in costa rica killing livestock kept near a kind of soybean that's rich in the amino acid lysine. The livestock eat the beans and the little dinosaurs eat the livestock, life finds a way.

i stand by the fact that this is a monster horror movie (the sequels not so much) and the mrs. reaction to the scary parts is exactly why

It's funny you mentioned stop motion because Spielberg wanted to do that as an homage to Ray Harryhausen but when he saw some test footage of the TRex running he decided to go with CGI. Good thing.

Deads: Arnold, the chief of engineers; Dennis Nedry, the computer guy; the guy from the beginning, opening the door to bring the velociraptor; Gennaro, the lawyer; Muldoon, the "hunter"; that makes 5. But I think we can asume that more people died around the island.

Dang, the tension in the original JP is _so good._ It's really been missing in the JW series (mostly lack of foreshadowing, but the intended payoff is still there, which ruins the scenes), but since the OG writer is coming back on for the newest installment, I'm hoping we'll get some good stuff like this again.

i think it feels more real because it's a lot more grounded than the new movies

I love when people say that they look realistic, when no humans have ever seen a dinosaur. 😊

When Lucy said she thought the dinosaurs would look really fake I just thought - Does she know who directed this film? Steven Spielberg is known for always providing quality entertainment.

Whole filming the t-rex attack the rex soaked up water and it made the animatronic jerky. It would sometimes move when it wasn't supposed to. When it breaks the glass on the car it was an accident. So the kids fear was real.

When Lucy is asked what she thinks the movie is about the plot that she describes is a bit more like 'The Lost World' by Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle (which has also been adapted for the screen more than once). There is a blend of both animatonics and early CGI in the movie, I don't think there is actually any stop-motion. 11:32 Getting funding for Paleontology digs is notoriously difficult, that is why they are experimenting with other techniques that do no require digging. 23:07 We've seen that they are still hatching more Dinos so you would be more likely to see them later when there are more of them. 34:23 You really don't need the amphibian excuse, reptile genders are more flexible anyway. Crocodile genders are determined by what temperature the eggs are kept at. Some lizards are all female and successfully reproduce with no male input.

I love the casting choice for John Hammond. The literal brother of David Attenborough.

Lucy surprisingly got really close even if she missed a few. If it was my first time viewing that would have been my opinion. Thank you and God bless y'all.

''Way too small for a Dinosaur'' - they weren't all big you know, lol. Technically every bird you see is a dinosaur. Even the extinct ones everyone knows as 'true' Dinosaurs weren't all huge, just some of the most famous - as you see with some in these films, there were small ones too. The real Velciraptor itself was only the size of a Turkey or a small Dog, these in the films were based on it's much larger relative the Utahraptor (It's the equivalent of depicting a Chihuahua the size of a Wolf, or a pet Cat the size of a Lynx).

This was the first time we'd seen photo-realistic dinosaurs. Before this film, it was stop-motion or animated. This was HUUUUUUUGE.

Great point about how the story incorporates the exposition dumps in a logical and acceptable way which doesn't jar.

2:56 His evil chuckle is priceless 🤣

Id love to know the reasoning behind "hating sci-fi". A lot of other people ive met and spoken to have simply cited "hating" sci-fi because its unrealistic, yet would then also go on to fall in love with those soppy true love stories, or Notebook type of movies that are just as far fetched, or some drivel like Twilight lol

Jeff Goldblum Jurassic Park: "Must go faster..." 🦖 Jeff Goldblum Independence Day: "MUST go FASTER! 👽

Fairly new to the channel... Just wanna say that i'm happy I found you guys. Good stuff! Love from Sweden

First time watching you guys, this was bloody awesome reactions stuff and yeah, I had no choice but to sub because I think it’s great keep it up man girl lady thank you

The movie is more realistic on the big screen it makes you feel like you're in the movie ✌️❤️🇺🇲

She's so prejudice! :D I came into this movie in 1993 at the theater after waiting a long time since I heard they were making a movie to feature live action dinosaurs. I even read the Michael Crichton novel in preparation for it. As for the movie's faithfulness to the novel, it wasn't completely, but it did stick to the overall ideas. I loved most everything about this movie. I actually preferred the CGI in it over its practical dinosaurs. It was the first time CGI really looked real in a movie, imo. Since then, we get a lot of what I call "bad CGI" in many movies which has literally given cgi a bad name. Studios saw CGI as a cheap way to just get a scene done without having to make physical stuff, but they didn't try too hard to make it look real the way a team under Spielberg or Cameron would. That is not a good reason to use CGI. Jurassic Park did it right, though I think it should have done more of it. I could tell when the dinosaurs were physical robots, and they didn't look or move in a lifelike way, except the triceratops, but all it had to do was lay there and breathe. And I'm not running down Spielberg's robots, he gets better physical effects than most anyone else. They're just not as good as his quality-focused CGI.I'll add one little nitpick of the several I had with the movie, but didn't bother me enough to keep me from loving it: Velociraptors. Velociraptors stood about knee- to waste-high on a human, not head-high or taller. In the novel, there were velociraptors, properly sized, and a different predator was the man-sized threat. I actually have forgotten which species it was. I heard that Spielberg wanted to keep something the size of a man, but wanted to reduce the number of predators threatening people for the movie, so he just made the velociraptors bigger because most people don't know any better. I think in his research he did consider making them "utahraptors" (named after where some of their fossil remains were discovered), which actually stand, what, 6 feet or so tall, something like that, but he just liked the sound of "velociraptor", sounds fast. So this has always bugged me a bit about Spielberg, but I can accept that this is just who he is. He's more about the entertainment than accuracy. I can't say I don't love his movies despite this.

This is the first time I’ve watched you guys, great video! I love how brutally honest Lucy was before the movie. 😂 My fav movies are also Se7en and Jurassic Park (+ The Shining) so good taste man. Have a subscribe.

Good commentary: "your obituary would say: "Killed by a T-rex. Everyone's dream" LOLOLOLOL!
