FIRST TIME WATCHING Jurassic Park Movie Reaction

[@hashtagfilm]

The reason why the effects looks so fantastic in this movie is because they did a perfect blend of practical mixed with CGI.

The effects still hold up today.

Little bit of trivia: The animatronic T'Rex head had a habit of short circuiting and moving spontaneously when it rained (which was often where they were filming) Crew eating lunch beside it would get jump-scared when it would out of nowhere start moving on its own. 😁

[@manxgirl]

And they had to constantly stop filming so they could dry it enough to continue shooting.

I love how they used modern animal sounds to make the dinosaur's sounds. Adult raptors: Tortoise mating call, walrus chest roar, angry goose hisses and a male dolphin's scream recorded underwater (and Steven Spielberg breathing heavily through a cloth-covered megaphone during shooting) Baby raptors: Owlets (baby owls), kits (baby foxes) Gallimimus: Female horse in heat Brachiosaurus: Slowed down donkey calls, recording of a whale breathing through its blowhole Dilophosaurus: Hawk, swan, rattlesnake and howler monkey Tyrannosaurus rex: Dog playing with rope toy, elephant calf squeal, an alligator's gurgling vocalizations, a tiger's snarl Triceratops: Cow, human breathing through a tube Also, that scene when the Raptor busts through those pipes in the maintenence bunker behind Ellie is always a jumpscare/anxiety booster for me. As many times as I've seen the movie, it never fails to get me.

[@manxgirl]

I always hated Muldoon's death. He did his best to keep everybody (including himself) safe, but was still killed, because his expertise was African predators. Not dinosaurs. I feel if he and Grant had been able to work together, Mr. Arnold and himself may have survived, as well.

"I thought I watched Jurassic Park but it was Godzilla." I don't know why that made me laugh so hard 🤣 that sounded like a joke from a sitcom

[@kriscynical]

7:50 _"For something made in the '90s this is quite impressive."_ And you haven't even seen any of the dinosaurs yet! 😝 You really need to check out the episode of _The Movies That Made Us_ on Netflix about Jurassic Park. It goes into detail about just how groundbreaking the effects were for the time this was made, and just what a herculean task it was to bring the dinosaurs to life without stop motion. Being a movie buff, I think you'd just enjoy the entire series in general. I'm truly amazed by how GOOD this movie still looks. It can still feasibly stand toe to toe with most movies made NOW, and it still looks better than movies from even five years ago even though it's almost been 30 years!

[@pokes404]

This movie will always look fantastic because of the incredible practical effects work. The cost and effort to do those practical effects must have been ridiculous, but they will forever stand the test of time. The only thing that dates the movie at all is some of the tech (CD-ROMs and CRT computer screens) and a few of the CGI shots. However, they knew the limitations they faced with CGI, and so they were very smart about when and where to use it. Many of the CGI shots are somewhat obscured by darkness, rain, or even distance. If the studio ever wanted to in the future (and let me state now that I hope they never actually do this), they could conceivably update a couple of the CGI shots and instantly bring the movie right back up to modern standards.

[@83gemm]

[@manxgirl]

The interesting thing is, if Hammond HAD actually made a flock of condors, their would be a lot less complaints and a lot more support. If he helped repopulate species in the brink of extinction, he would be a hero. Would probably win the Noble prize (or Henry, since I suspect he was the scientist who perfected the technique). Plus, he could easily profit off them by making the island a nature preserve. And, he could also bring back the species that humans have wiped out in the past 4 hundred years: -Aurochs -Bucardo (pyrenean Ibex) -Caribbean monk seal -Carolina parakeet -Dodo bird -Great auk -Ivory-billed woodpecker -Passenger pigeon -Stellar sea cow -Thylacine (aka. tasmanian tiger or tasmanian wolf) And more that I can't remember. Because, of how "recently" they went extinct, their will still be plenty of documentation about them, and it will be possible to at least create a suitable habitat for them (if their's nowhere for them to be released).

[@Drummer4President]

Dodos. He could have brought back the Dodo 😁

[@Captianjim]

There have been reports of Thylacine sightings in the past few years and given the remoteness of the area I wouldn't be surprised if there were a small amount of families living in remote pockets somewhere very isolated. Keep your fingers crossed!! Of all the newly extinct species out there it deserves a second chance.

[@manxgirl]

@@Captianjim 🤞 The Caribbean monk seal and ivory-billed woodpecker were rather recently confirmed extinct. Should be plenty of DNA available for them.

[@pickleboy6059]

Scientists have already managed to genetically bring back an extinct animal, some type of goat. The conditions to bring back extinct animals are hard.

[@kriscynical]

I always felt badly for John Hammond in this film. He really wasn't in it for the money (that was the lawyer!), as you see from his ice cream conversation with Ellie about the flea circus. He really did just want to bring joy and entertainment to people, but his overconfidence and lack of respect for nature sent it all crashing to the ground. It _kind of_ relates to my favorite artist quote from Robert Hughes: _"The greater the artist, the greater the doubt; perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize."_ That's not to say John wasn't talented in his creative visions, but he DID have "perfect confidence". There's nothing wrong with confidence in and of itself. You see that in Malcolm, Grant, and Ellie in their respective fields. BUT. Malcolm, Grant, and Ellie all had the hesitance and respect that's still needed in the face of all that power, which they all dealt with because of their fields of expertise and just how talented and knowledgeable they were about them. John (and the scientists behind creating the dinosaur life within the park, let's be real here) got so perfectly confident in his creative abilities that it proved his undoing.

[@alphamorion4314]

Yes. Hammond had the enthusiasm of a child. Sadly, what he had found (the cloning science to bring back the dinosaurs) was akin to a loaded gun in terms of danger, as Malcom continuously said, but just like a child he didn't stop to think before playing with it. With disastrous consecuences, of course.

[@Itachilover3450]

While I do agree, Nedry was the real reason this disaster happened. I feel like without him, this park would've had a much better chance of actually succeeding and Hammond's dream would come true.

[@kriscynical]

@@Itachilover3450 But the gaping security exploit existed because of not properly vetting their IT staff. Dennis said himself that he low-balled his bid for the programming job, so apparently John "spared no expense" in everything but THAT. I don't know if that was because it was the '90s and he was from a generation that was completely unfamiliar with computer technology or what, but if anything that was the only area (in my opinion ofc) where John _was_ very negligent.

[@midianmtd]

To me the interesting part of the film was the selection of having director Richard Attenborough play the owner of the park John Hammond. In reality, Richard's brother is the world renowned television host David Attenborough. A man who's quest since the 1960's has been to show us our impact on nature and the animal kingdom. It's interesting to me that Richard is known to modern film audiences as being a reckless crazy rich guy. While his younger brother David is one of the most lauded naturalists in human history.

After the movie at Universal Studios in Florida created a Jurassic Park area. The Welcome Center in the movie was recreated at the park. They also had the stego you could touch. It was great, my favorite part on the park at that time.

There is a mix of animatronics and CGI used. This is actually one of the first movies to use CGI. If you have Netflix you may be able to access a show called "The Movies That Made Us"; the second season covers the making of Jurassic Park.

[@lordwalker71]

The storm wasn’t originally in the script but they filmed the movie in Hawaii and it was hit by a hurricane and destroyed some of the sets so they decided to write it into the movie, apparently Steven Spielberg played games with the two kids to keep their minds off the storm. The part where the T-Rex makes the roof of the SUV fall in on the kids wasn’t supposed to happen but the T-Rex malfunctioned and pushed down too hard so that was the kids genuine reaction because they weren’t expecting it. I found it weird that when the T_ Rex climbs out of her own that the ground seems to be the same level as the side the vehicles are on but when it pushes the SUV over the wall there is suddenly a huge drop.

[@scottb3034]

storm absolutely was in the script since the tropical storm was in the novel. also, yes the rex was meant to break the bubble. it wasn't meant to chip a small piece off which can be seen in a few shots. so that fact is ALSO wrong. It's an optical illusion. the cliff is about 50 feet from where the rex broke out at ground level (which was closer to grant and malcolm). spielberg used a lens that compressed/crushed the distance to make it look like the cars were 10 feet apart when the rex broke out but in later shots you can see a huge gap.

[@dubirdrs]

Man, when we saw this in the theater, the scene when the t-rex first shows up had kids running up the aisle! XD And yeah, most scenes where they were interacting with the dinosaurs was animatronic. In fact, the t-rex head controls were so delicate that they had to stop and dry it off every few minutes because the rain would through it off.

I don’t think Hammond cared about how many people came to the park or what he gained from it at all.

[@WolfsDE]

The main mistakes John makes in this movie and the book are.... 1. Not paying more for Dennis Nedry. Playing cheap when he "spared no expense" with the rest of the park was a mistake. 2. Not having at least a team of 4 others to run the systems. So that Nedry wasn't the only one who could run the systems. 3. Not having backup generators for every padock and security system in the park to keep the park safe for at least 10 days. 4. Breeding multiple raptors instead of just one in order to study the behavior first. Then deciding one wether or not to breed more. 5. Using amphibian dna. It should have been bird dna for many species. The locks on the car doors weren't a mistake. Not when one thinks of how things played out. Had they been locked in the cars with no way out, Grant, Ian and the Kids would all be T-Rex food. Plus, if a car should catch fire or a flood hit, they would need a means to escape as well. Some CGI was used for this film. Most of the rest was animotronics. That is why even 30 years later, it still looks amazing. It was a blend of computer and practical effects. Some of the technology of course is dated to 93'.

9:12 That's a Brachjosaurus. While there were many 'Sauropods', long-necked browsing dinosaurs, actually having longer front legs is almost unique to Brachiosaurus. 9:46 Those ones aren't meat eaters, neither are the Parasaurolophuses that are also visible in that shot. 21:05 I'm sure the Triceratops is a practical effect as are a lot of the T-Rex scenes, they used some ground-breaking CGI, but they used a lot of practical effects too. 27:54 Because he didn't know what he was doing, Ian caused the death of the lawyer and the continued risk to the kids. The T-Rex was following Alan's flare into the deep jungle away from the road until Ian's well-meaning, but misguided lighting of the second flare. 34:45 Actually they do not need the frog DNA excuse, some lizards reproduce entirely from females, without any males at all, some other reptiles can spontaneously switch gender.. Crocodile genders are determined by the temperature of the eggs are kept at. 41:25 What he actually said was 'She killed all but two of the others.' So there are actually three full-grown Velociraptors. The third one is still in the freezer, they can open doors, but not if they are locked. They only needed to escape, the lysine contingency should supposedly kill the dinosaurs eventually. The book explains a number of things in more detail and is way scarier. We can't bring dead DNA back to life. We have almost complete frozen mammoth corpsea but we couldn't bring them back even if we wanted to, Kids love dinosaurs because they are very big, very scary and very dead. So there is no danger from them.

[@Floridad25]

I agree with everything except blaming Malcom for the lawyer and risking the kids. The T rex would have come back anyway, once the flare went out...which it would have. She came back after eating the lawyer because she knew there was more food back in that direction....and if the guy hadn't run away, he wouldn't have died in the first place so I put the blame for that squarely on his own shoulders.

[@NanuqEditzS]

Velociraptors and other Dromaeosaurs (Raptors) weren't pack hunters and they were all feathered. Velociraptors were also smaller that in the movies. And Dromaeosaurs weren't pack hunters, because their brain wasn't shaped like that of a pack hunter like a Wolf and they weren't as smart as Wolves and as in the movies. Their brain has shaped more like that of a Bird Of Prey like Hawks and Eagles which are solitary. They might have sometimes hunted in gangs like Komodo Dragons to kill larger prey. But these aren't organized packs, they just attack when they want to and after the prey is killed they start fighting each other. What's suprising is that the Dinosaur that was most likely to be a pack hunter was a cousin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex called Albertosaurus. The main reason is that 26 or 27 Albertosauruses were found buried together. This could have been gang hunting, but Albertosaurus is the Dinosaurs that was most likely to be a pack hunter and they may have lived in family groups. And also Velociraptors didn't lived in Montana, but their cousin called Deinonychus that the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park are based on lived in Montana

Also people don't really pay too much attention to it but still love the sounds created for each of the dinosaurs but the did alot of work for the noise effects they created. They got it spot on for the film. No other dinosaur film like this one before this one. Also other than the T-Rex, most of the dinosaurs is where the budget went to.

T-Rex's vision wasn't based on movement. It had vision better that modern day Eagles and Owls and a sense of smell better than Bloodhounds, so T-Rex was the most dangerous Dinosaur and probably the most dangerous land predator that ever lived. T-Rex also had a bite force of over 12,800 PSI. And The whole "T-Rex was feathered" thing has been disproved. T-Rex also was slower than in Jurassic Park, but it didn't had to be fast, it just had to be a bit faster than it's prey

I was 10, my mom had to take me out of the theatre during the T. rex break out scene and I threw up in the parking lot lmao love these movies

[@halloweenlivesforever2227]

Up until the early 2000s they did truly think all that about the T-Rex about him/her that they can't see if nothing moves and some other details about them but alot of that has been disproven since the early 2000s. But up until at the time of this production they didn't have alot of the technology they have now.

Yes. 😃

6:30 Relevant info going forward on the Jurassic journey: The movie doesn't tell you this, but Louis Dodgon is an executive from BioSyn, the rival genetics company of Hammond's, InGen. 12:54 Taking this opportunity to warn you that this franchise misidentifies the base species of some of the prehistoric creatures in it. The Velociraptors being the first example; based on their size they'd be more like Deinonychus. But we can give leeway on the franchise since the creatures are genetically engineered and modified to grow faster and bigger as theme park animals. 21:01 Lol, the Triceratops was 100% a life-sized animatronic. We have to give major props to the Stan Winston company for the animatronics used in the film for the close-up interactions (CGI was only used for distance shots and drastic motion, and they did an impressive job making the CGI models nigh identical to the animatronics) 27:10 Fun trivia: Apparently the Rex animatronic wasn't supposed to break the sunroof, so the kid actors' fear is genuine because it happened. 41:17 Earlier in the movie Muldoon said that the Big One killed "all but" two of the other raptors they had, so with the Big One and two lackeys, that's a pack of three raptors. :) 47:51 The person you can thank more for the "what-if" scenario this franchise is based on as sci-fi and the message it holds about human hubris, technology, and genetic science, is Michael Crichton ("cry-tun"), the author of the two books the franchise is loosely adapted from.

[@Floridad25]

Actually it's the other way around on that last one, in that the book is loosely adapted (and expanded and improved upon) from the movie. MC was pitching the movie idea first and Spielberg told him to write a book about it. He did......and finished it first.

[@scottb3034]

the velociraptors in this WERE deinonychus. back when they were known as velociraptor antirrhopus instead of deinonychus antirrhopus. they used gregory s paul's naming conventions as a source and he was the one to lump deinon into velo' genus. he then abandoned that shortly after the film came out. His artwork that he did for this movie is showcased in the movie. No, the rex WAS supposed to break the bubble, it WASN'T supposed to chip a small piece off which is visible in film. A malfunctioning animatronic is life-threatening and liable for lawsuit. spielberg was pro-safety after a friend of his had 3 actors (including 2 children) killed in a stunt in the twilight zone movie 8 years earlier. spielberg also worked on the film and broke off his friendship to that director. so to put the kids in danger would be out of character.

[@scottb3034]

@@Floridad25 ehhhh that's dubious at best. what happened is that crichton independently thought to write the novel because he wanted to and from incredible demand from several sources, pitched his idea to spielberg and inserted action sequences he thought would make good movie sequences and finished the book. spielberg and koepp--who already were planning their own sequel--cherry picked from the novel but had their own premise they thought would film better.

[@EddBanshee]

What's messed up is scientists are actually trying to figure out how to bring dinosaurs and other extinct animals back to life, right now. It already worked once with a Pyrenean ibex! I mean it unfortunately died a couple hours later. But they did it!

There's a picture of Steven Spielberg sitting on top of the triceratops. It was a actual model.

Jurassic Park has always used a mix of practical effects and CGI.

[@wht-rabt-obj]

You have to watch the rest of the JP movies. BUT, in the novel they actually DID napalm and bomb the entire island to shit at the end.

[@Dreamfox-df6bg]

The secret of movies like Jurassic Park or Terminator 2 was that they knew when to use CGI and when to use practical effects. Sadly it's a lost art in the age of full CGI. You know, if I know a movie and someone says 'they won't' in this case kill the kid, I often get a grin on my face. So many underestimate the directors.

The creative mind of Spielberg. While filming Schindler's List he said the fact he was still editing another film (Hook) helped break the depression, oh he added at night I'm also working with some people on a movie about dinosaurs. He was editing Hook, shooting Schindler's List & doing pre production on Jurassic Park, all at the same time. I wonder what he did in his spare time...

[@Floridad25]

what spare time?

[@scottb3034]

he couldn't have edited hook while doing schindler's list since schindler's list was in production AFTER JP which was shooting 12 months after hook was released. you got the entire timeline all butchered. he was doing preproduction on JP and likely Schindler's at the same time he was finishing post on Hook though. And his wife kate capshaw was the one that cheered him up during SL. Moreover George Lucas was supervising JP's post-production for Steven which is how the special editions of the star wars movies came to be AND why spielberg hungered to make a JP sequel. since his experience on it was cut short.

Such a good movie. Saw it in the theater. Lots of fun. Fun to watch it with you.

[@americanfreedomlogistics9984]

i think they used a combination of different animal’s “voices” as i understand it Lions, Camels and ms y birds were used

[@elisavilla97]

I’ve seen this movie and the followings many times because I love them. The only thing I would change is the statement about the ability to see of the T-rex, which however comes from an old and now false belief (T-rex could see well always and anyway), also because such a limit would not make sense for a predator (in addition it was an animal not a photocell)

[@Floridad25]

It always bothered me that in Lost World they're saying that the T rex had the biggest olfactory cavity of any of the theropods and could smell blood for miles and yet in JP Grant practically had his head shoved up her left nostril and for some reason she couldn't smell him.

[@MellowGrunt10]

@@Floridad25 There is a video by Klayton Fioriti in which he brings on a paleontologist who has extensive background working with Tyrannosaurus to break down Jurassic Parks depiction. In that, the paleontologist explains that the way he interprets that scene is that because the T-Rex has just eaten both a goat and a human, she’s probably pretty full at the moment, and as explained in The Lost World “predators don’t hunt when they aren’t hungry”, so what we are seeing is the T-Rex checking them out and getting an idea of what these things are instead of actively hunting for Grant and Lex, which I find to be a much better explanation for why Grant and Lex didn’t die. Another explanation could be that, much like sharks, the T-Rex discovered that she doesn’t like eating humans, so again, it was more her checking out Grant and Lex to figure out more about its environment.

Make sure you watch entire franchise with the finale with the just released dominion. Let's just say John Hammond would be amazed at how his creation ended up.

You said essentially it wasn't his fault because he didn't turn off the system, actually at least in my opinion it was his fault, he keeps saying spared no expense, spared no expense. Yet the dude who was responsible was doing it for money. Because Hammond went with the cheapest programmer available, clearly Sparing expenses.
