The original 1993 Jurassic Park movie from Steven Spielberg occupies special territory in our hearts and minds...But does it hold up to a critical re-watch? And if it does, can the 2021 sequel, Jurassic Park: Dominion, possibly be as good?

Another great review... however, thought you should know that the gui shown during the "Unix system" scene is real! It's part of the OS of 90s era Silicone Graphics computer systems. I got to play on one of these as a kid. I was probably a similar age as the girl in the film. I recently watched this video about one of these systems. Check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHXbfZRshZuYrsU

[@rustumlaattoe]

OMG! This has been my only major criticism of this movie all my life and i was totally wrong...

[@EoinDineen]

Another fun foreshadowing. When they are flying into the island for the first time, Grant's nearby buckles are both female connectors, and can't be locked together. Grant, eventually ties the two female ends together, constructing a makeshift belt. When faced with the inability to breed, the dinosaurs found a new way around the limitation of having only "female connectors."

[@SpacedAug]

Fun fact - that was a real GUI called FSN, or File System Navigator. It ran on IRIX systems, and was developed by silicon graphics! :)

[@ludacrisginger]

You missed one of the coolest things. The actor that plays John Hammond's is David Attenborough's brother. Such a cool little connection. A man world renown for his nature documentaries is related to the guy known for a fictional recreation of a dinosaur zoo.

[@TheyreJustMovies]

meant to mention this!

[@whalemonstre]

"Deux rex machina" OMG 😂

[@JeremieBPCreation]

"Adult Velociraptors grew up to 6.8 feet (2 meters) long, 1.6 feet (0.5 meter) tall at the hip and weighed up to 33 lbs. (15 kilograms)." That's one heck of a big "small dog".

[@just4commentsable]

6 foot but 33 lbs, damn no wonder they were fast

[@ghomerhust]

hammond's arc was hard to built in the film because hammond dies in the book. screw the spoiler alert, its been out for a long time..

[@Wolfshadow115]

The book is really good too. Arguably better than the movie. All the problems they had up with Malcom and even the plants are addressed in the book

[@IanZainea1990]

Re: The raptor seeing the kids and not moving/attacking right away. When a cat sees a mouse, both animals freeze and wait for the first to move. Generally the mouse will go first and then the cat catches it (if the mouse doesn't immediately go into hiding). So it could have been intentional. Lots of animals do that. Also, I can't believe you didn't mention the raptor breath on the kitchen window!

[@donniesage]

You should check out the Utahraptor. It's more like the raptors in the movie. Love your podcast! I've listened to all of them and you guys are super fun to listen to. Keep up the great work.

Great movie, great subject, great effects, etc. It was responsible for my "dinosaur phase" when I was a kid... Just like Titanic was for my..... "historical oceanliners phase" (yeah, that happened)

[@TheSadsax]

Titanic! The reason you play World of Warships

[@DanDanFAlves]

In wich phase are you now?

[@TheFourthWinchester]

@@DanDanFAlves The simp phase.

[@Googaliemoogalie]

I had a dinosaur phase too because of this movie.

[@kubev]

1:19:48 - Regarding Riley's point about the shotgun ammo, honestly, I always used slugs for deer hunting (which is why I was confused for the longest time as to why buckshot was called buckshot, as I couldn't imagine using it if you didn't want pellets all through the meat). Slugs just have better range and stopping power albeit with the obvious downside of less (zero) spread. Frankly, if I had to face off with a dinosaur (and assuming that I didn't just decide to cower in fear as it killed me), then I'd definitely want slugs in a shotgun - not buckshot.

[@umbra1016]

I get it was a kids film. But when they fed the raptors the live cow. Then pull the "harness" back up. All the metal is shattered and broken. The cloth is ripped into a million pieces. But didn't have a single drop of blood on it. Bugged me so much lol

[@gamersmudngrubshow6119]

Sum up: And I mean these in the funny, observant ways: David: quite particular, Riley: over-simplifies everything, and James: reasonable.

[@morbital]

Re: the cars, the park is in prototype phase, not mass production. As part of their "soft open" they would use consumer vehicles until their transport system is fleshed out.

[@kubev]

1:07:44 - A friend of mine stumbled upon one of these thumbnails, but it was of Eric Stoltz as he appeared in the movie Mask and had a headline to the effect of, "You won't believe what he looks like now!" I had to explain to said friend that the "before" photo was of Eric Stoltz in makeup for the role he played in the movie.

[@kevinrudy]

This movie is pure nostalgia for me and I love it, it’s perfect. It holds up too.

[@protospace270]

First off, how do you go a decade or more without watching this movie? Whether it's just on TV or I'm in the mood to put it on I watch this at least every 3-4 months, lol. It's not my favorite movie of all time but it's just such a classic. As for nitpicks, even with how much I enjoy this movie I definitely still have a few. And I think my biggest ones are these: 1.) It's not just that when "running" from the falling car in the tree (which was a Ford Explorer by the way, the red ones were Jeeps), never mind that they don't just go sideways but look at the size of those tree branches. That car has already stopped moving and come to a rest after it's initial fall. There is no way it's going to break those branches and even IF it was able to, it would be forced away from the center of the tree. It looks so janky watching this car clearly be forced straight down by a hydraulic hammer, lol. 2.) Still dealing with the car in the tree, Tim would be SO dead from that fall. The windshield was already blown out and when the car hit the tree he would have been launched straight out the front. 3.) How in the HELL does the gap on the other side of the T-Rex perimeter fence work? First, the T-rex is towering above the cars and is clearly on the same level before he breaks out. But in the next shot when the car goes over suddenly there is a huge drop. How? Where does it come from? I remember it being explained as more of a safety gap in the novel but in this version it makes absolutely no sense and it confuses me to this day.

[@TheyreJustMovies]

"just on TV" lol I haven't had cable since I moved out of my parents house 16 years ago -JS

[@TheFourthWinchester]

Totally agreed. My parents took me and my brother to theaters to watch the movie and I cried myself to sleep out of fear in the theater.

[@Austerich1]

Same!

[@fluphybunny930]

I swear Riley hasn't seen the films he's talking about.

[@lonelymisanthrope2329]

I did some paleobotany research in undergrad (in 2007) and only last year did I realize Dr. Statler was a paleobotanist. I feel so ashamed.

[@kubev]

1:03:39 - This is one of my biggest pet peeves in movies: misuse of flashlights. The Purge is probably the worst example of this. It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I recall someone hiding in a dark basement...with a flashlight on. Yeah, great job.

[@jeffsmith63]

I remember watching this in the theater and I remember it showing her reach out of the vehicle as they are driving and grabbing the plant she was examining during the first dinosaur reveal. I haven't seen it included in any of the releases so far. Also i remember a big yellow "deer crossing" sign at the end except it was a stegosaurus silhouette

[@rustumlaattoe]

29:20 No Riley, they take out the ostrich or emu DNA. They're just using the cell replication and maturation machinery (enzymes and proteins and so forth) present in the egg. The same happens when they do this in mammalians. In fact the same technologies used can be utilized to help human couples who have trouble having a child. 1:10:40 HUMANS can't produce Lysine on their own. The vast majority of animals and plants do produce Lysine.

[@TheFreeman627]

"Its a horror movies for kids!" I watched it multiple times before I turned 5.

[@beavermcfanny5382]

Great show. Waiting for you to review Wargames. Matthew Broderick had an awesome gaming rig for 1983.

[@jeffwilson9381]

First movie I ever saw with home surround sound as a kid. Truly terrifying!

[@theod9548]

actually, the kid on the fence would have had nothing at all. there was no outlet for the electricity, so no effect on him.

clearly the movie velociraptors were just utahraptors or baryonyx hybrids

Dr. Sattler DOES grab the leaf in the... TRAILER! For whatever reason it made it into the trailer but not the film itself!

Spared no expense is a joke. They have clearly spared no expense. Denis is having financial trouble but is the best programmer they can afford? Two programmers? Basic Ford Explorers with minimal modification? No manual door locks locks? No paved paths? Thatch huts for bathrooms? It's all about the joke how much it rush and slapped on a plastic lunch box.

[@rohanrahman8138]

They don’t give a battery replacement and trying to convince people that we are just protecting the environment. The more problem in environment is the increasing number of dump mobile phones because the phone has poor battery life and the batteries are not easy to replace. If they already decided not to give a charger but at least should give an extra battery instead of charger… Thank you, From: Rohan Rahman

this is my favorite movie of all time. I remember as a kid this being THE movie for me and still my favorite until this day. You guys have to be nicer on the cgi though lol. This was the first movie to us so much cgi and they pioneered cgi use in movies. Honestly why it's not a good as some of the stuff today, it's still better than some after almost 30 years. So glad y'all did a review on this, made me want to watch it tonight. Also if you have read the book, it is a very different story than the book, but unlike most movies based on books, it didn't disappoint. Love this channel, keep it up!

Also it's not pro-Christianity, it's pro-chaos/pro-nature/pro-systems. If anything it's anti-god. Ian Malcolm's salutory warning not to disrespect nature by playing god is much more prevalent/constant in the book. 'God' is the illusion of control. There is much more emphasis on the underlying ubiquity of chaos and its inherent unpredictability in the novel; in fact every chapter begins with a cover page showing a graphic representation of the growth of an increasingly complex system.
