Back in the 90's, the moment the characters first saw that realistic looking brachiosaur was also the first time any audience had seen a realistic looking dinosaur of any kind. That newness of the experience for everyone is what's missing now.

[@zandylovesrisk]

Yup. Anyone dinosaur scene on screen prior either was animated (The Land Before Time) or stop motion (original King Kong).

The first CGI organic creatures. The wide shots of the T- Rex in the rain still look incredible! 🦖

[@OO7eleven]

I believe that was practical. I don't think everything was CGI. A lot of animatronics.

[@JedHead77]

@@OO7eleven The wide shots were CGI, like the POV shot from Grant’s and Malcom’s jeep watching the kids’ jeep. All closeups, like the head, feet, etc. were animatronic.

[@mattp6089]

And even more incredible because they sell their CGI long shots by using detailed animatronic closeups.

[@OO7eleven]

@@JedHead77 Per wikipedia: "For the original film, special-effects artist Stan Winston created an animatronic T. rex measuring 20 feet high and 40 feet long, while ILM created a CGI version for certain scenes." The scene where it walked by was also using animatronic, which is why it looked so real.

He's upset because whatever money he does give, just gets pissed away and shortly thereafter it all repeats. If he care's about his park & employees enough to say "spared no expense," then he can help him out financially by giving the money to a Financial Manager who helps him pay his bills Set up a budget & teaches him how to handle his money so he isn't broke all the time. That's best for everyone, but damn few employers are willing to do that. Unaware financially stable employees are healthier, happier & more productive far beyond the cost of teaching them money management.

I was a 17 dinophile when this movie came out, and had read the book. The first time they showed the sauropods, in the famous scene with Sam Neill turning Laura Dern's head, I was utterly stunned! This was early, early on computer effects, and none of us knew what to expect. That it still holds up 30 years later shows how good a job they did blending in the new effects with traditional effects, and with just telling a hell of a story!

Plus the part where she sobs after having her first encounter with a velociraptor. She started to sound like a chimpanzee to me.

Apparently because the movie was that popular, high in demand, some theatres were showing it for a full year 😳

[@scottb3034]

that wasn't as rare back in the day because home release was much later than it is now (and in some cases was more expensive--mostly an issue in the 1980s though). But yes, Jurassic Park was in theaters from June 93 to Late April 1994 (then released again in August 1994 until late October--where it regained #1 at the theaters) and released on VHS and LaserDisc in October 1994. It is the 5th best-selling VHS of all-time despite coming out near the end of that medium's lifetime. It is also the highest-rated network broadcast movie of the 1990s when it was first broadcast on NBC in Spring 1995.

[@TheGuardianofAzarath]

This movie revolusionized the vfx industry, and even today, almost 31 years on, it still holds up far better than anything Hollywood has put out in recent years. There are actual differences between the practical effects anamatronic model of the rex and the digital model; one has more teeth than the other (I can't remember which). All or most of the close up shots of the animals were live-action anamantronic models, only scenes where the ENTIRE animals' bodies were visible on screen were digital, except for the Triceratops, as it didn't really need to move. The scene with the Triceratops was actually the first scene they filmed for the movie. Yes there are some plotholes that are never explained (like how did Rexy get into the VC without being seen or heard), and in the shot where Lex almost falls out of the airvet, when she looks up during the overhead shot, you can clearly see it isn't Arianna Richards, but rather her stunt-double. (Richards also played Mindy in the first Tremors movie in 1990 and the third one in 2001) There was an article by the movie's sound director back in 2015 where he revealed how he got most of the animal sounds for this movie: The T-rex roar is a baby elephant, the gallimimus squels are those of a mare in heat trying to attract stallions, the bark the raptor makes when it first enters the kitchen is apparently from a mating tortoise. The chirps and calls the raptors make are a dolphin, and the hiss that one that kills muldoon makes, that's the hiss of a very angry swan or goose. The effect of the water ripples was created by plucking a guitar string under the glass in the car, and again in the footprint. Fun (and sad) fact: That braccy we see there, at 7:06 which is the first dinosaur clearly seen in this movie, is the SAME ONE that we see in Fallen Kingdom standing on the beach calling out to the boats as the island burns underneath and around her. And this T-rex is the same one we see in Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom and Dominion (as well as Camp Cretaceous, the netflix animated series bridging JW and FK). Nedry: What do you want? Huh? You want food? I don't have any food. I have no food on me. Dilophosaurus: You ARE the food.

Funny you mention the dinos lacking the ability to smell. If you take notice, all the dinos in the park are ill. The triceratops was dying, the rex couldn't smell Lex and Grant, then Lex was sneezed on, and then the raptor sneezed in the window in the kitchen. The books explain how the animals were getting sick from eating the islands vegetation.

[@Rain1]

[@dannykent6190]

The raptor didn't sneeze on the window... but the overall point is not inaccurate. Though I don't know how intentional it was.

[@BubbleGoose0613]

This is my favorite film in the entire Jurassic series (including the new trilogy). But rewatching again as an adult really makes you realize that the whole movie is basically just poor little Timmy having the worst luck possible and constantly almost dying but somehow managing to evade death. Like…gets trapped in the car and flung over the cliff - survives ; gets electrocuted with 10k volts - comes back to life ; spoon drops in the kitchen and gives away his position to the raptors - manages to out run it and lock it in the freezer ; falls off the dinosaur display in the museum and nearly gets crushed to death - saved by a fake rock ; gets surrounded by raptors - saved by a TRex….😅

The trick to avoiding the long queue to the Coliseum is to join one of the tours. The tour leaders typically sport an umbrella so you can find them in the crowds.

7:12 This moment is the greatest theater moment of my life. I always loved dinosaurs. I grew up watching movies that did not have CGI - if they wanted dinosaurs, or King Kong, or Godzilla, well, it was a mechanical puppet or a man in a suit. In 1993, this was the first moment that anybody had ever used CGI like this, on this scale, for things that looked real. My mind was blown the same way Dr. Grant and Dr. Sadler had their minds blown. I've seen thousands of movies in my life, but sitting in that theater on June 11, 1993, and seeing that moment was truly the most amazing, most breathtaking moment I've ever experienced in a movie theater, before or since.

[@edwinrivera2887]

I'm gonna give this 10/10, because this is the best movie from my childhood and it's a masterpiece

[@vodkavecz]

I like the foreshadowing through the start. "Spared no expense". But the seatbelt on the helicopter is installed wrong, the theatre safety rail can be pushed open, the tour car doors can open. And of course Nedry probably has a legit complaint of being underpaid. They really did built a park around this sensation before they actually knew how to build a park around it. PS: The scientist they talk to, Dr Henry Wu is the same scientist in Jurassic World.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Fun Dinosaur Facts: Velociraptor was in real life 2 feet tall and 6 feet long, so about the size of a dog. But the author picked them because it’s a cool name. Also couple years after this movie came out it was discovered that all raptors had feathers, even long feathers on their arms like wings. T-Rex did not have bad vision, it’s sight was actually great. But it’s true that at 9000 pounds per square inch it did have the strongest bite force of any land animal that ever existed. Dilophosaurus was not that small, both in the book and in real life it was over 2 meters tall, 7 meters (23 feet) long, and weighed up to 400 kilograms (880 pounds). Also it didn’t spit venom. It was still a fearsome predator. In fact in the book Nedry is cut across the belly by a Dilophosaurus which disemboweled him and ate him alive.

[@scottb3034]

He picked velociraptor because Deinonychus antirrhopus was named Velociraptor antirrhopus in one of the sources he used for the book. Paleoartist Greg S Paul tried to create a new paleontological trend and used it in said book but it never took off and Paul abandoned it. Spielberg kept the name because he thought it sounded better.

[@dannykent6190]

It's interesting watching younger reactors who sometimes comment on velociraptors being used in these films because "they're one of the more popular dinosaurs." Which they are now, but it's 100% because of this movie. Very few "non-dinosaur" people had ever remotely thought about them before this.

[@henrytjernlund]

I remember that. The counter was stopping at the expected number of dinosaurs but the size plot was a normal distribution curve ant that's when Malcolm said that the system had already failed and no one understood why he said that.

[@Cenindo]

Yes. They had predicted that animals could die, in which case there would be less than the expected number. However, they had never foreseen any breeding in the "wild", so the computer just counted to the expected maximum number and then stopped. Only when they had the bright idea to enter a random higher "expected" number, so that the computer would go on counting, did the true figures emerge on the screen. They discovered that many of the dinosaur populations were greater than they thought, because there had been unforeseen breeding going on beyond their control.

The special effects in this movie are so good because they're practical effects. The T-Rex is a real animatronic (and you can see videos of it on KZbin), as were some of the other dinosaurs like the Triceratops, whereas others (like the Dilophosaurus) were puppets. The Gallimimus were CGI. The Velociraptors were famously two actors in rubber and foam costumes - you can see the creation of these suits on KZbin. The team worked super hard to build an armature that would move naturally (like the bobbing heads) as the raptors walked.

Alan Grant is not Ellie's husband. Although this movie doesn't clarify their relationship, in the original novel Ellie Sattler was just a graduate student studying under Dr. Grant.

[@TheCkent100]

Thank you! You saved me from typing the same thing. Grant being a professor and Ellie being a graduate student also explains why there is a kid at the dig site. It's not unheard of for graduate students to be parents. As far as the implied romantic relationship in the movie goes, my theory is that Spielberg wanted to imply a romance to make the movie an easier sell for a female audience. Female viewers are less likely to attend a movie that is a horror / dinosaur movie, where males would more likely not care about a romantice component. It's a pity that society doesn't really read the books. As good as this movie is, the book is far better. ***Spoiler*** And don't get me started on how bad the second movie is (with the plot being so improbable and legally impossible as to make it laughable).

[@SokolRock]

@@TheCkent100 It so happened that I first read the book Jurassic Park, and only then saw the movie, and I was somewhat disappointed because the book was objectively better than the movie. The same goes for the sequel: I read the book and I really liked it like the first one, but the movie went even further from the original source and was just terrible.

[@antoinebrg6299]

@@SokolRock Goldblum's dialogs in the second opus were hilarious tho, it saved the movie in my opinion, well at least in the french dub version I watched lol

[@scottb3034]

they are romantically together in the film and it's made pretty obvious, that said they did have a kiss filmed in the Montana section but it was cut due to pacing.

[@SokolRock]

@@scottb3034 Well, that means it wasn't a well-thought-out character change, because they have zero romantic chemistry on screen. Also, this idea didn't age well, because nowadays the concept of a romantic relationship between a doctor and his graduate student is condemned by modern society, so it would be better if they left it as in the book.

You know how little boys tend to have a phase around 5 to 10 years old where they either love action figures or dinosaurs? Well, I was definitely a dinosaur kid, and this movie happened to come out right around the time I was at the peak of my dino phase. My parents bought me this movie when it came to VHS, and I remember watching it so much I wore out the tape and they had to buy me the movie again. 😅

[@jackiehansen2421]

The t-Rex was a full size animatronic. The scene where the trex’s nose is against the glass wasn’t planned so the screams from the kids were genuine

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

This movie started my dinosaur obsession with books, figures/toys, plushies, even wanted to be a paleontologist when i grew up, it also lead me to the Godzilla Fandom. Which i have a spino & raptor tatt on my thigh, which im gonna get zilla (from the animated series) and some of the othet kaiju tatted above

[@ronfehr7899]

The sound of the velociraptor eating the cow was actually done by having director Steven Spielberg really close to the microphone.

[@scottb3034]

that was just on set to give something for the actors to react to, it was remixed properly by Gary Rydstrom in post-production with actual animal sounds.

[@daniellanctot6548]

*_The following sequel is even better!_*

[@biguy617]

That is a matter of opinion

[@TheCkent100]

@@biguy617 I agree with you. I personally think that the sequel is atrocious. But then again, unlike most people that love the second movie, I've read the second book.

The cuts between the CGI T-Rex & the full scale puppet are still stunning for today’s standards. Fun Fact: when the vehicle is on its roof & the T-Rex bites the tyres, the entire vehicle is CGI as well. ILM had used Terminator 2 & also The Young Sherlock Holmes (a much underrated films!!) as a proving ground for whether they could pull off a full CG character. Originally, they were going to have the dinosaurs animated using stop motion. Whether this is an Easter Egg or not, Dennis Nedry wears several outfits identical to characters in The Goonies…Yellow Raincoat - Mikey, Hawaiian Shirt - Chunk, Grey Jacket - Mouth. Also, the late Richard Attenborough who played John Hammond is the brother of the legendary naturalist Sir David Attenborough.

[@15blackshirt]

This and its immediate sequel The Lost World, were adapted from the Michael Crichton novels of the same name. After this are five more films, a short film and soon to be two animated shows

[@adonirammedrano4685]

I still find it kind of funny in the scene where the raptors are entering the prep-Kitchen, when it opens the door, you can see a hand steady the animatronic since it looked like it was going to fall over

[@OscarBlancoSketchToon_com]

Funny trivia about this movie: San Jose, Costa Rica is NOWHERE NEAR the beach! They paint the country as straw huts and backwards towns near beaches... In fact, none of the movie was filmed in Costa Rica. Anything that looks tropical is Hawaii.

The mosquito was in crystallized. He was encased in Amber, which is petrified ancient tree sap.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

2:59 When this movie came out in 1993, scientists were only just barely coming around to the idea that birds had all evolved from dinosaur survivors rather than from some other lizard, so the thought that dinosaurs like T. rex might have had feathers or other avian traits wasn't yet common.

Reminds Indiana Jones because of John Williams of course. Usually with all their OST (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jaws, Superman, etc.)

All these Jurassic films and not one swimming Rex! Edit- I would also recommend reading the book.

You’ve never seen this? This is my childhood movie! Even to this very day I still love Jurassic park and I’m in my late twenties now.

[@AmitDukarker]

‏‪23:50‬‏ lol yes 😂 they all play mind games

[@kylenaversen]

My favorite all-time dinosaur movie. I recommend reading the original Jurassic Park novel and the Lost World. Both of these books where written by the incredible, Michael Crichton.

[@JJgibson1]

Check out the movies King Kong(2005), Deep Blue Sea(1999), Tremors(1990), The Goonies(1985), Jumanji(1995), and Predator(1987).

[@frankinthesnyderverse1488]

My favorite from the series is the sequel, Lost World: Jurassic Park. But it’s hard to deny how great the first film is. Growing up as a 90’s kid, this was the first dinosaur movie that used convincing CGI and practical effects; before JP most of all dinosaur movies were either claymation or cartoon. JP was the first time dinosaurs were depicted realistically in a major film. I know that’s why it mattered to me so much as a kid, I would rewind the VHS so much and wear it out lol 😂

[@ShadowWolfGHC]

Great reaction. I saw this when it first came out in the theaters. At the same time, Barney was also blowing up and being merchandised to death. I worked retail back then. I cannot tell how many parents I heard complaining everywhere about the graphic nature of the film. They thought it was going to be a family film and something akin to a live version of Barney😂

An asteroid approximately 10 kilometres across was dislodged from the asteroid belt by Jupiter's gravity, by the time it entered Earth's atmosphere it was travelling at about 20-25 kilometres a second. The impact generated a fireball so intense that everything within 1000km of the impact site died instantly and threw up several billion tonnes of sulphur up into the atmosphere. During the nuclear winter that followed, 75% of all life would become extinct. The largest animals to survive were about the size of cats.

Mean ladies, all those dinos.

This film had been released a month earlier before my girlfriend and I finally found the time to see it together. The small theater in our little home town was still filled with viewers. We were all glued to the screen as the helicopter was flying across the island, when suddenly... Blink! The canera stopped and the thrater went dark. I waited just a moment before I turned upward, I took a deep breath and began to sing out "99 bottles of beer on the wall.... 99 bottles of beer... Ya take one down, ya pass it around.... 98 bottles of beer..." There was a little bit of soft laughter around me in the theater, so I spoke up --"Come on.... Everybody!...." I began once more, "99 Bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer..." I continued for a couple more versuses. Other theater goers sang along with me, the rest laughed and laughed! The theater was still dark when I called out to everyone, "So, which dinosaur do we see first? Which character gets eaten first? Who turns out to be the hero?" Everybody was giggling and talking amungst themselfs by this time. The manager finally stepped to the front ot the showhall, to apologize to us and explained that would all be refunded for our tickets. As my gitlfriend and I got up to leave with the others, I was still cracking jokes and everyone around me contunued to laugh and laugh. I was so busy entertaining the others that my girlfriend and I left the theater without picking up our refund. I didn't notice my wallet was a little thin until a couple days later. I called the theater to explain what happened, hoping that there would be no problems in correcting the situation. The manager answered the phone and I explained what was wrong. He instantly recognized me and he chuckled, "Oh! I remember you! Etc, etc, etc...... Thank you so much for easing the tensions that afternoon. I owe you! You come in and I give you some free tickets!" I chucled and thanked him for his offer but I told him finally, "No... That's okay. You just keep your theater in business etertaining the community and we'll call it even.... Some peanut M & Ms sure would be appreciated though!" The man chuckled and "You bet cha!" he said. "He-he-he..." we both laughed. I went to the theater the next day and met the mnager. He shook my hand firmly and thanked me again. 🙂
