![[NEW] JURASSIC WORLD The Ride! New INDOMINUS REX! | Universal Studios Hollywood 2021!](/img/n.gif)
This was the first movie with major CGI effects like this. It was mind-blowing in its time, you walked out of the theater practically expecting to see dinosaurs in the streets.
And I'm proud the software I use every day was used on it.
Omg, you're so right! I remember for the rest of the day after seeing it in the theater the first time, I really kept feeling like I was about to see a dinosaur when I was outside or one walking past the windows indoors. Even my dogs were reminding me of dinos lol! And I remember everyone else who saw it saying similar things. Isn't that interesting that this was a shared reaction? What a strange phenomenon 😄
I remember. When I and my sister saw it as kids we actually thought someone had managed to actually bring dinosaurs back
I was about 9 when this movie came out. I saw it in theaters. The entire theater shook when the T-rex was walking around. when you hear it's steps slowly coming closer and closer, making the theater seats tremble was terrifying as a kid. It was the best experience.
My older brother (12, I was 8) claims to this day that I sunk my nails so deep into his arm that he had little bruises. I deny everything!!!! 😂
Dude yes. I remember my mom coming home from seeing it, white as a ghost, and like "you're not seeing that!" After I watched it, i was terrified of raptors for the longest time lmao. If any door had a long handle, I was convinced it was like a beacon that would draw raptors to it to open it while I was in there
I was 19, watched in Stockholm's biggest theatre with close to a 1000 seats. That T-Rex scene made me physically fear for my life..! xD loved and hated it, lol
I was born 5 days after Jurassic park was made. I'm glad they brought it back for a 3d and rpx experience, because you could feel every sound and vibration from Rexy's roars.
I was 10 and i must have gone 10 times during that summer. It was amazing in the theatre
The irony of the movie was that Hammond "spared no expense" except with his labor. Before the guy sabotaged the island, he told Hammond that he had a problem with his pay. Hammonds answer was in so many words, "Tough luck. You're locked into a contract."
It was like that in the book, but in the film, it was implied that Nedry was careless with his pay and got himself in trouble.
In the book Hammond is a stereotypical greedy capitalist who cares about pretty much nothing but profit, and he blackmails Nedry into completing a lot of extra work for no extra pay.
The movie obviously wanted Hammond to be more of a good guy, so they made it so Nedry's poor money management skills were to blame.
@@drewdrewski4188 Truth. And book Nedry clearly was prepared to fix the glitch once he returned from the dock(I think he didn't expect things would have already gone off the rails so quick in terms of the loose T-Rex)and even thought to himself that, thanks to the rain, he would have to return to the control room, fix the power and try again later.
And he only had, what, 3 people working for him? At least during this visit from the scientists.
Fun fact: the scene with the t-Rex’s face crashing through the glass roof of the car was not planned. It was a malfunction from the rainwater on the animatronic. Sooooo the reactions of the kids are very genuine
The T-Rex roaring at the end is one of the few things that would absolutely terrify me stiff if I ever heard it IRL
I’ll never get over the fact that Laura dern was only 25 in this.
I never realized. It's rather odd that 25 year old actors are often cast to portray younger characters and here Dern pulled off a role that seemed as professional and qualified as the other experts whose actors are 15 to 20 years older than her.
That feeling of being in the movie theatre with strangers watching something incredible come to life....Amazing!!!
Agree 100%. I saw it at a special preview on June 10th, 1993, one day before opening day at a great theater. Completely sold out and to witness the true birth of CGI was amazing. I know there was some CGI before “Jurassic Park” but this is when it truly changed cinema. I like CGI when it’s done right, but I still love practical effects especially since I grew up on those kind of FX.
Yes! I remember watching this in theaters as a kid and it completely blew my mind
In the list of depictions of strong female characters in cinema, people often forget about Laura Dern’s character in this movie.
And of course the T-Rex, assuming she's not one of those who switched.
I so agree! One of the many reasons this remains the superior Jurassic Park 👌🏿👌🏿
The feminist god destroys man comment was so 😷 🤢I HATE feminism!
@@sharpaycutie2 it was a joke so, it’s passable “battle of the sexes” stuff.
My favorite movie ever. I love how it is basically a horror film disguised as a family film. Few movies have the sound and visual effects Jurassic Park has.
I think of it more as a family film disguised as a horror/thriller film haha
"There has to be a way for it to work." Queue the sequals... You should check them out, none are as good as this, but they're pretty fun.
Definitely plan on it!
My personal favourites from favourite to least favourite are:
#1. Jurassic Park
#2. Jurassic World
#3. Jurassic Park 3
#4. Jurassic Park 2 The Lost World.
#5. Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.
@@johndowney4170 For me it's:
#1. Jurassic Park
#2. Jurassic World
#3. Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.
#4. Jurassic Park 2 The Lost World.
#5. Jurassic Park 3

Incorrect. Jurassic World is a fantastic addition. Although it could have done without everything in between.
@@nickflix8657 watch moonlight man. U will love it.
It took me a while to figure out at the beginning in the helicopter Dr Grant tried using to “female” ends of the seatbelt and he just made a knot out of both to secure himself hinting at the female dinos changing genders and laying eggs. “Life finds a way”.
All you young filmmakers and screen writers, take note. See how simple the action is. The tension, too. It’s all so gentle. Taking its time and ratcheting things till your yelling at the screen.
This was the first PG-13 movie I saw in theatres. I was always a huge dinosaur nut, and there was no way my 7-year-old self was going to miss this movie.
Paleontology breakthroughs have gone into overdrive since this film. This movie was what broke the public out of the old 50s "sluggish lizard" stereotypes, but what we know about Dinosaurs now makes even this look prehistoric (the shortest summation: Birds ARE dinosaurs).
While real Velociraptors are only about 2-3 feet tall, the raptors in this film are based on a larger species called Deinonychus (the reason for the change was Deinonychus was proposed as a subspecies of Velociraptor in the book Micheal Chrichton was using as reference for writing the novel, and once that theory had been laid to rest the movie was already in production and Spielberg still thought it sounded cooler). The size is still exaggerated compared to Deinonychus, but not as rediculously as Velociraptor. And two species known as Utahraptor and Dakotaraptor were discovered afterwards and were even bigger. Oh and of course they were all covered in feathers, looking like giant ground hawks.
T. rex actually had rediculously good eyesight. The movement-based vision thing was explained in the novel as another side-effect of introducing Amphibian DNA. In fact the original novel and a few of the film sequels play up how these creatures are genetic chimearas specifically because our scientific knowledge of these animals will only continue to grow and evolve. But for what was known at the time, they did try to be as accurate as possible.
The Dilophosaur (incidentally my favorite dinosaur) featured here is indeed a juvinile, though some of the games and spinoffs seem to have forgotten this. The adult animal could reach up to 7ft tall and 20ft long. It DEFINITELY did NOT have a frill. It's not technically impossible that it could be venomous, but no evidence exists to suggest it and as an apex predator in its time it is unlikely to have needed it. It was put in the novel to emphasize how little we know about these animals and how irresponsible InGen was for creating them without knowing what they were in for.
The novel is very different, bloodier and gorier, really hammering home just how recklessly in over their heads Hammond and InGen were to even attempt this. While I prefer the movie, the novel is also one of my favorite books and is a DAMN good read.
The last thing I will say is that this is the first motion picture to use CGI to depict living animals in any substantial way, and it still holds up as good or better than the vast majority of films that have been released since. The practical puppets and animatronics used about equally to the CG are also some of the best ever put to screen.
I will definitely have to check out the novel! And thanks for explaining so much really appreciate that! And the effects were definitely amazing!
@@nickflix8657 Oh, one more thing I forgot! JUST this year, a new paper was released on Dilophosaurus that reexamined the skulls we have, and their crests were likely shaped a little different than we always thought. Science Marches On indeed. 😸
One theory is that the kid at the beginning of the film where Alan explains how a raptor hunts, is the adult character played by Chris Pratt in Jurassic World.
The writers clarified that that wasn’t the case. Sorry
You mean Owen, right.?
That’s so awesome!! The theme is incredible
I just realized, Didn't Jeff Goldblum also say "Must go faster" in Independence day?
He did!
@@Tar-Numendil In the mothership towards the end, I believe.
@@CR41489 Yeah, and they didn't actually show him say it in this clip. I wonder if it could have been dubbed as an easter egg czcams.com/video/WxS0kiUX6p0/video.html
@@Sentinel3D No, it's always been in the movie as a wink to Jurassic Park.
Samuel L Jackson says hold onto your butts in Kong Skull Island and Snakes on a Plane too.
Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! Next up is The Hobbit!
Thanks good one
movie 2 eventually?
I loved it, you really brought me back to the magic I felt when I first watched it
Will finish this series!
I’m sure you will absolutely love those movies!!
More than anything, I love the characterizations of the dinosaurs. The way the raptors (which do not look like actual velociraptors and are closer to deinonychus) behave with cunning intelligence, and the way the T-rex attacks the van like a prey species by flipping it over to attack its soft underbelly. It's really great stuff.
There's also some great foreshadowing in the helicopter scene when Grant finds a way to make two 'female' buckle ends into a working seatbelt.
I was 6 when my parents took me to see this at the cinema. That kitchen scene gave me nightmares for weeks and I couldn't watch this film again for many years. One of my favourites now. It holds up so well, the effects are still amazing almost 30 years later.
This is a thriller for sure. The poor kids went through a lot. I loved the velociraptors. Smaller but lethal. Loved your reaction.
watching this on movie theatre back in the day was so cool, the vibe of it....the soundtrack! it just stuck on my mind til this day
one of my favorite movies
I do regret not seeing a lot of films at the cinema. I did see Close Encounters on a full-screen - when the mothership comes over the mountain, and keeps on coming ... chin-on-floor time.
lol my ambition is to buy a cinema and show only older films that really deserve to be seen with a huge screen.
9:57 -- This shot may be the first time an actor's face was digitally placed on a stunt person's head. (Too bad it's cut short in the video.)
They used both CGI and practical effects for this movie, depending on the scene. That's one of the reasons why it still mostly holds up today. They used CGI with parsimony and tried to rely on it only when they couldn't do what they wanted with practical effects. They knew that the CGI of the time wasn't good enough to make everything look realistic. I wish more directors during the 90s and 2000s had the same philosophy... We wouldn't have seen that akward trend were movies used terrible CGI left and right for everything. lol
Haha thanks for letting me know.
I remember reading that they had problems mixing animatronic dinosaurs with water as in the rain scenes [not sure if in this film or the next, or both]
“Do NOT take your time, Tim, do NOT take your time.” 🤣 I think I’m gonna quote that a lot. 😂
I just broke my tailbone, so I’m using your older videos for some serotonin sorely needed. You always cheer me up. Keep your light shining, man. 🙌🏻
The dinosaurs were a combination of CGI, animatronics, puppets and guys in velociraptor costumes. They built a life sized t-rex animatronic robot. The built the torso and head, and they also built the legs animatronics. Of course, for full body shots the used CGI.
When that movie came out, my family went to watch it at a newly opened cinema in town which had the newest sound system and stuff. The seats vibrated when the T-Rex showed up the first time (it was pretty scary for 8 year old me). My brother bought the soundtrack the next day and as soon as it came out on VHS our parents bought the tape, I think my mom still has it.
The reason why the effects still hold up so damn good is because they used sooooooo many animatronics, puppets and other practical things and only resorted to CGI for the herds, so most dinosaurs are 'real'. For the sounds of the dinos, they teamed up with scientists (from paleontologists to musicians) and used everything from cat noises to a plethora of electronic devices so it would not only sound good, but was as close to 'yeah, according to the shape of the skull and everything we know it should sound like that' as possible. So free biology lessons included 😅
And it came out at a time when DNA was the rage of the decade, newspapers and stations all over the world reported every new achievement, the first gene therapies were done around 1990, Dolly the sheep, the first cloned animal, was born only three years after the movie. It was the perfect timing.
It doesn't matter how many times I've watched this, its still SO stressful. Amazing FX and such a fulfilling finale.
One of my favorite John Williams' scores.
I remember going to see this movie in theatres when I was 6. I still vividly remember how scary that first scene was.
I was 6 as well. First movie I can remember seeing in theaters. Even though some of it scared the hell out of me. I was infatuated with it.
That's one of the best things about this movie. They used CGI carefully and only when needed. That's why it feels like the characters are in real danger. Also because it's a real life-size T-Rex animatronic they're using. They're acting to a "real" dinosaur.
This movie left such a huge impact on me as a kid and I can't even describe with words how much this movie means to me.
Happy to see you enjoyed it as well!
This movie has a special place in my heart. I was fortunate to first see this movie in theatres when it first premiered in 1993, I was 10 years old and it was perfect. I always cry at the Bracheosaurus scene at the beginning, that moment has always been special for me. I think it's because I'll remember how much this movie meant to me when I first saw it and what movies can create.
It’s literally one of my favorite movie serieses ever!!!
Really cuz all the movies except the first aren't that good... Wtf was fallen Kingdom.
There’s so many iconic scenes and lines in this movie. Omg so much nostalgia and originality
The Jurassic franchise has had two sequels and a new-gen reboot. Each have spectacular moments (some better than others). However, NONE of them achieve what this first one has done in terms of creating awe-inspiring moments and pure majesty.
Darren Isomoto ya know, I just realized something, if a Jurassic park sequel gets the awe-inspiring and pure beauty again, will it be accepted?
Main reason I asked this question is because, well, when you look at the introduction of The Lost World and the fact Steven Speilberg tried to do Jurassic park again, but it didn't happen quite the same.
You're probably wondering why some stranger is commenting a random thought on the Jurassic franchise, sorry bout that.
@@rhinosaurus6085 I think "awe-inspiring and pure beauty" cannot be replicated simply because its not the first to do it. Those adjectives describe the first title because it was simply the first to establish this world and story of something so unique and breathtaking. The first film was a balance of creating this vision first, then adding in the thrills and "horror"esque scenes second. I feel that most films that came afterward, tried more to be summer blockbuster action flicks.... which don't get me wrong, was still very entertaining. but the magic of introducing us to this world and creating moments like: Alan grant seeing the brachiosaurus for the first time, or John hammond reflecting on his failed vision in the dining room, or Ian's talk about 'life finds away', are what make this film much more than its thrilling moments.
Darren Isomoto wisely said.
I saw this movie in a theater, as a kid, and I was like "Yay... dinosaurs!"... With time I´ve come to appreciate this movie much more. It´s so masterfully crafted, the story and the script are greats... this is much more than just a dino movie (wich the rest of them, kind of are)...
I´m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!
This movie used both practical effects and CGI. The computer program that they used was actually created FOR “Jurassic Park”! They didn’t feel that the effects that already existed were good enough to make the dinosaurs look real. I think the special effects hold up pretty darn well even after all these years.
For a little more context, this is based on a book by Michael Crichton. He was a very tall author (6'9"), and prior to becoming a VERY successful writer, he was a Hardvard Medical School graduate, MD and all. He took his medical knowledge and decided to apply it to writing science-fiction techno-thrillers. So usually his themes deal with things like genetics, ethics, and the philosophical and practical implications of how humans deal with things like technology, diseases, etc. A few of his books became popular TV shows and movies. This one was his most popular, I'd say. You should check out his stuff.
Definitely will thanks for the info!
Another was The Andromeda Strain (1969 book, 1971 movie) ... oddly relevant to our current situation.
When I was 17, I went parasailing and the company that helped me was the company that provided the parasailing expertise for the Jurassic Park movies!! It was in Hawaii, one of my best vacations ever!! So, that's my Jurassic Park story lol. Loved your reaction!!
I just saw Jurassic World:Dominion yesterday, and I LOVED IT!
Could you do an interview with a vampire reaction (if you haven’t seen it yet)
Good call @Ryan McDonald, Interview With A Vampire would be a great one for Nick to react to. Fingers crossed 🤞
I’ll add it to my list! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@danielhill3502 The Vampire*
That's a great movie. And has one of best child acting.
Loved the books, good suggestion.
@2:24 that gave your Shelob reaction a run for it’s money😱
Hey Nick! Amazing reaction video from you as usual! I agree that Interview With A Vampire would make for a good reaction video if you haven’t already seen it. Also What’s Eating Gilbert Grape is a beautiful film that I think you would appreciate. Peace love & respect my man.
Thanks so much! And added them to my list so hope to get to them soon!
Its odd to see that the "special effects" and the puppetry in this movie looks more realistic than any computergenerated supermodern stuff today.... proof that habdcrafted, if done to perfection, should still be the way to go (or at least should be vpmbined with gci).... also, i loved when you compared this movie to jaws ... my immediate thought was "well.... it is spielberg after all....." 😅. Very entertaining reaction, as always!
Thanks so much! So glad you liked it and it really does haha.
Thanks for the upload 👍 Enjoy your reactions very much 😊
Poses a great question, despite the wonder of seeing the amazing, who takes responsibility for this? Who is held accountable when things go wrong? Dr Malcom's assertion that, 'you never stopped to ask if you should' remains relevant to this day.
The owner of the park is also the owner of the dinosaur creating lab. That’s who’s responsible. At the end of the day, it’s just a zoo. We know how to operate zoos. Had Hammond waited until the bugs were worked out of the security system (and spent more money on his coder), things probably would have gone a lot better.
dang it ! stole my thunder lol I was going to say that line is timeless, just because you can do something, no one stopped to think if you should "
Idk if anyone else said it but the prop for the trexs head malfunctioned during the scene where it escapes and that is what lead to the glass popping out over the kids so it was totally unexpected and that was genuine screams of terror from them.
2:23 This is the kid friendly version of Nedry's death. In the book, this dinosaur was acutally around 8 feet tall. Nedry got indeed blinded by the venom, however held his own intestines in his hands after being sliced open. Eventually he gets his head bitten and it ends for him. Sleep well tonight :)
When the book was written, Dilophosaurus (the frilled venom spitter) was thought to be much smaller. The only fossilized remains on record later turned out to be a juvenile of a subspecies.
We now know much more, first and foremost being it was _not_ venomous. It also didn't have the frill and it was MUCH larger, around 13-17 ft in length, 7 ft tall, easy. Both it's serrated teeth and hooked claws established it wasn't an ambush killer but an active predator, ripping larger prey to ribbons or even cannibalizing younger or smaller members of it's genus.
Thanks from across The Pond for another great reaction, Nick!
I saw this at the cinema in 1993 with my brother when I was 30. Like you, I was blown away.
Needless to say, I went to see it twice more - and I've only watched a handful of movies more than once at the theatre. Die Hard (1988) I went to see three times, and Twister (1996) twice.
Spielberg is a genius - may I recommend to you another of his great early movies - Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Another movie that inspires as well as entertains...
Love you, Nick! You made a fantastic channel. Please keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! So glad you like them.
i really enjoy ur reactions friend one of my fav movies!
You may have been told this already, but they got the effect of the dinosaur's footfall on the glass of water by putting a guitar string underneath and twanging it. so simple but so effective.
In the original Novel it wasn't the laywer that abandoned the kids and got eaten by the T-rex but one of the park employees who witnessed the raptor attack at the begining of the movie. Not that it makes it any more excuseble but it does make it a bit more understandible that he would turn tails & run.
People sometimes complain about the inaccuracy of the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park"(the book Dilophosaurus(the venom spitter)is actually far bigger and it probably didn't spit venom). I have always taken it that the frog DNA is what makes the dino's have some different traits than they did in the natural world. Like some frogs have motion based vision, when it comes to the T-Rex(though Grant says that the T-Rex had motion based vision beforehand in his introduction scene, so take this with a grain of salt.)
What a great reaction you’re exactly like me every time I watch this movie lol I’m only 18 was not lucky enough to watch it air in theatres but I left a sub and like 👍🏽
Fun fact about the kids acting ...
In the scene where the T-Rex escapes his paddock and attacks the car, that T-Rex was a giant animatronic made for the movie. But with all the water used to simulate the rain, it caused the T-Rex to glitch out and randomly move on its own and do weird things. In that moment when the T-Rex comes down on the jeep with the kids in it and busts the window in on the kids, that wasn't scripted. The T-Rex wasn't supposed to push in like that, it was glitching. The look of terror in the faces of the kids is 100% real terror as those actors thought they were going to die.
Thanks for that fun fact! Had no idea but makes the scene even better.
Great reaction!!
This was a joy to watch. This is SUCH a good movie from a special effects point of view. The plot, the soundtrack. That said, for me, the most fascinating thing about this film is how it rekindled a pop cultural love for dinosaurs for an entire generation and basicaly repainted them from lumbering swamp-dwellers to active animals in the eyes of general audiences.
If it's a surprise to you that dinosaurs went extinct 64 millions years ago or that they were more closely related to birds than lizards (or that birds are dinosaurs) then I really recommend you to have a quick look around the internet on the various species depicted in this movie because it's just...just breathtakingly fascinating how much the field of paleontology has improved since 1993. There's species where we know their skin covering from fossil evidence, even some where their color and patterning can be guessed thanks to studies into melanosomes. There are so-called "dinosaur mummies" i.e. fossils so good that the soft tissues have fossilized and just... The raptors in particular have changed their looks a lot as well from the time of that movie and it's just...NGH, I have no words. :D it's such a fascinating subject that I hope there'll be another franchise some day that'll, once again, modernize the general publics' idea of what prehistory was like.
I'm not sure why the movement-based vision was given to T. rex in the JP/JW franchise, but we know that T. rex had binocular vision (like we do) so it had depth perception, so it could see objects whether they moved or not.
You are great to watch, friend. My favorite person to watch for reactions!
Thanks so much! So glad you like them.
Oh trust me they're practical effects when this movie came out they imply that the entire dinosaurs were actually robots
i understand the they used the real hurricane for the movie, so all that rain and wind is real
I seen this at a drive-in in 1993 it was just so cool.
I loved how you said, " There's got to be a way to make it work!"
I loved it cause it raises the discussion, how many lives have to be lost by greed before someone forces them to stop.
Hammond wasn't doing this for greed (unlike the lawyer), he was doing it to share his passion.
How many advances are dangerous? Would the world be a better place without those advances?
The idea with the mosquito blood probably won't ever work in real life, but what they are doing, that could work, is devolving chickens, or other birds. They have so far been able to hatch a chicken with teeth and a tail, but it didn't survive for long.
10:30, yeah baby!! That was a great moment tight there!
This is considered the best one, and I objectively agree, but my favorite is the second one.
this is my favorite movie for all time...i even plrinted a jurassic park logo and put in on a constuction helmet as a kid:)..good reaction or nolstaga trip...either way i cried:)
2:05, Dilophosaurus, beautiful, but Deadly in Jurassic Park.
Like a lot of kids who are Tim’s age, I was obsessed with dinosaurs. Needless to say, I loved this movie. I wasn’t allowed to see it in theatres which made me so sad, but I was able to see it on video. The only part that scared me was computer Dennis Nedry lol.
It's accepted theory now that those dinosaurs that survived evolved into birds. Its obvious if you compare bird and dinosaur skeletons. That's why there's a dedicated shot on the flying pelicans at the end. Also, many fossilized dinosaur skin impressions show that they had feathers or pre-feathers. Probably, the bigger the dinosaur, the faster they went extinct.
11:35, he wasn't the first choice to direct this film.
Tim Burton (BATMAN)
Richard Donner (Superman, Lethal Weapon)
James Cameron (Avatar, ALIENS, Terminator)
Joe Dante (GREMLINS)
were considered for directing.
This is a Great Movie great reaction
One of my favorite movies as a kid.
This movie is the perfect roller coaster ride. Everything in it just works. There's a bunch of memorable scenes and lines, John Williams's score is one of the best he's ever done, and even the ending is just perfect. It's a movie that delivers exactly what you want and it does it so well.
Oh, and you've got Jeff Goldblum stealing the show too. ;)
Glad you got a great, purely fun movie to enjoy after some of the emotional wringers you've been through recently.
Haha I’m so glad too! This was so awesome.
4:55, it's okay, it a friendly Brachiosaurus. One of my favorite Dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park franchise.
Hammond was much, much darker in the novel. He wanted to use genetics to make money. Lots and lots of money. And why create dinosaurs? There's no "need" for them except for entertainment. Hence a theme park with dollar signs dancing in Hammond's head. The movies toned Hammond's character a bit, making him more of your quaint old uncle with delusions of grandeur, but I love both versions of him immensely.
I got to see this exhibit when I was in New York for the week
Great film, great reaction 👌👍💪
Thanks!
Really enjoy your enthusiasm. You have an air of wonderment that's infectious and which makes watching you a lot of fun, though you might want to change the name of your channel. Who are these other boys you've alluded to? :) I started watching you only recently, so maybe you used to watch as a group, but, honestly, you're fun by yourself. The magnificence of the dinosaurs is what first attracted me to this movie, but I wish, just once, that I could see such a movie in which people are overwhelmed solely because of the power and cunning of the monsters, and not because of their stupidity. Laura Dern swinging like Tarzan through the jungle? OK, that was killer! I'm a programmer, not a hacker, but I found it hard to believe that 12-year-old Lex would walk right up to a UNIX system and say, "I know this." C'mon! The idea that you would be proficient with technology at that age is one thing, but UNIX wasn't ubiquitous, even when this movie was made. But that's not what really bothers me. So this brilliant "hacker" is safely ensconced in a darkened vehicle interior earlier in the movie where Rex can't see her and her brother. So she has an epistle and decides to turn on a million-watt light and shine it right in Rex's face. Gee whiz. She knows how to navigate a UNIX system and can't figure out how to turn off a light she just turned on. And why the heck did she turn it on in the first place? Still, I always look forward to your enthusiastic reactions!
4:43 - it's so easy to have a safe and functional Jurassic Park. All you have to do, is not to include predators. Then you can have open safaris for people to see grazing herds of dinosaurs.
You want a safe, functional park with “open” safaris? Have Disney design it similar to what they did with the animal kingdom in Disney World.
👍
Awesome film. Nice reacrion. Thanks from Russia ✋
My favorite movie since I was 8. I finally got a Jeep Wrangler and put the red stripes and Jurassic Park logos on it
The T-Rex's roar… Jurassic Park welcomes you to DTS Sound System.
It is movies like this why you go to the cinema.
Today you can dissect every detail months before the movie starts but back then you basically got the trailer release only short before theatre release and with this movie every tv channel had the hype going as well as numerous documentaries and monster movies of old running.
I watched it 7 times un theatre. Only LoTR made me feel the same way. There is no replacement for going in and see it for the 1st time, without trailers showing too much.
The only tv clips you saw were the Triceratops and 2 seconds of the camera panning to the Brachiosaur so you briefly saw the animated tip of its tail but not the whole reveal.
My god this movie screams nostalgia and cinematic experience like none else. You need to watch it in cinema if it ever is possible for you.
You're my new favorite reactor 💕
Haha thanks so much, glad you like the reactions!
In 1993 it became the lowest grossing film in history and passed ET's world record, of $1. Its effects were eye popping and revolutionary at the time.
Love the video and I love that movie. will you react to the sequels because I am a big jurassic park fan.
Yep reacting to all of them!
I never get over Hammond, Arnold, and Muldoon not expecting the circuit breaker to fail them when they reset the system. If Muldoon and Settler and gone to the breakers before Arnold did that, they could have immediately started the fences again. Which would have probably kept the raptors in their enclosure.
I remember very well how much I wanted to see this in cinema. It was rated FSK 12 (that's the German system) which IIRC for parents to let their kids see it in their company at the age of 10... my 10th birthday was in November when this movie came out. So my sister and my father went to see it and I wasn't allowed.
I think that the VHS was released the next year and we got it for Christmas or a year later, so that was 1994 or 1995 (I vaguely remember that the presents wasn't specifically for any of us). Oddly we put that movie aside to watch together at some point (since my parents still thought it would be best not to have their 10/11 year old kid watch it alone and I think thy tried to stall it until I was 12).
At some point (maybe even two years later) I was home alone and bored and realized that we still had not watched the VHS so I watched it on my own.
And still I turned out fine... I think. I guess other people should be the judge on that.
Thinking about it I still belive I wasn't 13 when I watched the movie.
On another note, whenever you watch something even slightly scary I kinda expect someone creeping up at you from behind. It's just odd that you are sitting with the back to the door like that... with an open door nontheless.
In the T-rex scene they used "visual effects" (that is, CGI) and practical effects (an animatronic dinosaur). As far as I know, they didn't use any "special effects" (that is, tricks with film exposure or optical printing or matte plates).
Thanks for the clarification!
@@nickflix8657 No problem. I know it's pedantic, but it really helps to understand why some effects hold up over time, and others don't.
*Fun facts*
The movie was based on a 1990 novel called "Jurassic Park", written by Michael Crichton. Steven Spielberg was actually with Crichton when they were originally talking about a screenplay about doctors, that would eventually become a 1994 television series called "ER". When he was asked by Spielberg on what book he was writing, Crichton responded that it was about dinosaurs and DNA. Crichton then requested for a fee of $1.5 million for the film rights and a shareable percentage of the gross. After many bidding by various studios and directors, Universal Studios finally acquired the rights for Spielberg, who was busy working on "Hook" (1991) at the time. Though Spielberg wanted to work on "Schindler's List" first, Sid Sheinberg of MCA Inc. gave the go-ahead to "Schindler's List" only if Spielberg worked on Jurassic Park first.
Making the dinosaurs come to life on the screen was the difficult task in the beginning of shooting. Universal Studios called in some of the biggest names in the industry to help make the dinosaurs. Stan Winston helped create the real-life, full-scale animatronics in scenes such as the close-up shots. Michael Lantieri provided the special effects. Phil Tippett made stop-motion animation for scenes such as the Trex attack. Even though Spielberg liked Tippett's animation, he thought they were too smooth and he wanted them to look more realistic. So, Dennis Muren, a visual effects artist of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), provided computer-generated imagery (CGI) by creating a couple of animation tests of a CGI Trex and a herd of CGI Gallimimus. Spielberg was impressed by the results. Tippett actually turned to Spielberg and stated, "I think I'm gonna be extinct." Spielberg loved the line so much he used it in the scene where the characters have entered the Visitor's Center and are going up the steps, with Grant saying "We're out of the job" and Malcom jokingly commenting "Don't you mean extinct?"
Most of the exterior island scenes were shot in Kauai, Hawaii. However, on September 11, 1992, Hurricane Iniki came and struck the island. Even though most of the cast snd crew managed to take refuge in the ballroom of their hotel building, Hurricane Iniki swept across the island and destroyed most of the Jurassic Park sets, including Ray Arnold's death scene, if you were wondering why it was not shown in the movie. There's a shot where the characters are leaving the sick Triceratops as the storm approaches, the shot transitions to a shot of ocean waves crashing over a coastal wall. Those are actual shots of Hurricane Iniki taken by Spielberg.
Spielberg was actually in his car, listening to "Earth, Wind, and Fire", when he noticed his rearview mirror shake to the loud beat. This inspired him to have the mirror and water cups vibrate to the Trex's footsteps. The mirror was down by attaching a vibration motor behind it. The ripples in the water cups were the most difficult shots to ever shoot. Thanks to Michael Lantieri, the effect was achieved by attaching a guitar string to the bottom of the cups. The string was then fed through the dashboard to the underneath of the car where a crewman would pluck the string to get the iconic shot you see in the movie.
Just as the scene where the characters see the dinosaurs for the first time, the score in the scene is much iconic as the scene itself. Composer John Williams reported that, because the characters are looking up at something big before their eyes, seeing a dinosaur up close would be similar to looking at a cathedral. To get this religious feeling in the music, Williams incorporated a choir into the composition.
The sounds were also the most difficult sound. Without the use of evidence on what the dinosaurs sounded like back in the Cretaceous and Jurassic era, the team, under Gary Rydstorm, went out, captured as many sounds, and incorporated them together to create the most iconic sounds in movie history.
Sound effect examples:
- Trex's footsteps - Falling sequoia trees
- Trex's breathing - A whale's blow
- Trex's high frequency vocals - Baby elephant
- Trex's low frequency vocals - Tiger, lion, and alligator
- Raptor's high frequency vocals - Dolphin screech
- Raptor's low frequency vocals - Walruses and geese hissing
- Raptor's communicating - Tortoises mating
- Dilophosaur's vocals - Swan, hawk, howler monkey, and rattlesnake
Which fact did you like?
Jurassic Park is one of my ALL-TIME favorite movies!! Literally, that movie lies within my heart as I speak. Great reaction! :)👍💕💕❤❤😊
I really liked the fact about Arnold’s death and how most of the sets got destroyed in the Hurricane, and also the fact they shot in Hawaii was also really awesome to read. But loved all your facts thanks for sharing them with me.
@@nickflix8657 Of couse. ;)👍❤❤💕💕
Fun fact humans are capable of outrunning a t tex on foot and raptors are the size of turkeys.
Velociraptors were the size of turkeys yes. Utahraptor and Deinonychus were much larger, which is likely what the movie raptors were based on. Velociraptor just sounds cool though!
Another fun fact, not all dinosaurs went extinct, some evolved. Most dinosaur experts and bird experts agree that birds are, in fact, dinosaurs.
It’s all about that kitchen scene!
Glad you enjoyed that Spielberg-Williams masterpiece and Jaws. If you want those two to make you cry, react to E.T and Schindler’s List
Also, try Spielberg’s fun movie Ready Player One
I’ve seen Ready Player One and loved it! Have not seen E.T. And Schindler’s List so hope to get to them soon!
The way for it to work is not bring back the carnivores or isolate them to an island they cant get off of where only video monitor studies are done with no human interaction, basically Jurassic park island as it is but with millions of video and Audio monitoring stations threw out the park and move the tour portion to a different island only including the herbivores on the island to tour. So people can interact with the safer species, and see the less safe ones via video monitor only.
The other Jurassic Park movies are worth watching and I hope you'll do a reaction with them!
Plan on it!
BY the way, this movie took years to make. I moved to where I live now in 1988, but I saw the flocking scene in my old home on Public television on a news bit about the CG. The movie was making news before it came out. Considering the room I saw it in, it could have been 1986-1988 when I first saw this scene. I didn't see the T-rex until 1993 in the theater though. I worked for a software company We all took off work (paid along with the owner) to see this movie.
That’s incredible!
I'm working on a screenplay that joins 2 Spielberg universes (Jaws and Jurassic Park). It's working title is Jaws: Black Demon, and it's obviously a shark movie. However, it's not a megalodon because that's really too big a shark to pose a threat of harm to humans. We're but a nibble. However, this shark is a hybrid of a meg and great white. I've been idle for several months on the writing, but seeing this reaction has reinvigorated my drive to continue work on it, so thanks for that, Nick.
That’s so awesome! Definitely want to see that! Glad I could get you to get that drive to keep working on it.
7:58, that made me jump when i saw this on VHS.
loved the reaction, tnx
Thanks for watching!
Spielberg has made about 30 of the best and biggest movies the last 45 years.. started with Jaws in 75
