Jurassic Park Amazing movie 🤩 And You're the Perfect Beautiful Amazing 💖 narrator and commenter 💯 hey that scene where you comment that mean old lawyer guy who selfishly abbonond those poor kids he's Desperately trying to hide sitting on the toilet Sweating it 😥 LOL 😂 and T-Rex found him and Eaten him up 😋 anyways!! Didn't You think that was actually kinda funny and he Deserves it as well??

[@peterseaboldt1250]

At the scene where Hammond pours champagne for Grant and Sattler, he insists that he "knows his way around the kitchen." He gets normal drinking glasses from the cabinet, but if you look closely, you can see champagne glasses hanging in plain sight at the other end of the counter. This could be considered a warning sign that Hammond can't see what's right in front of him.

Richard Attenborough, who played Hammond here, was also a well-known movie director. He directed a 1982 film about Mahatma Gandhi which won multiple Oscars and featured a young Daniel Day-Lewis in a minor role, in one of his first film roles. Richard Attenborough is a brother of the famous naturalist and documentary filmmaker, David Attenborough although Richard died in 2014 at the age of 90.

Not only that, but he won Best Picture in 1982 for Gandhi and was quoted as saying that Spielberg's E.T. should've won. Apparently he was every bit as gentlemanly and sweet as he seems.

Jurassic Park is a notable benchmark in the development of CGI technology. Just as Star Wars was a giant leap forward in special effects in the 70's, so is Jurassic Park a giant leap forward in the realism of CGI in the 90's

Absolutely!

@@DestinyAwaits19 This. T2 was groundbreaking and lead the way for modern CGI. Jurassic Park followed suit. Both movies had top tier practical effects which is why they hold up even today.

[@Daveyboy100880]

Back in ‘93, no one had seen visual effects like this, and we were all blown away by them! Also, because such effects were so hard to achieve back then, a huge amount of time and efffort was put into every single frame, and CG was only used where absolutely necessary, with the majority of dinos being done live on set via animatronics. This mix of real and virtual has never really been bettered, and it’s one of the reasons why the work still holds up today.

[@Anfa18]

it still holds up for the most part today almost 30 years later, while certain movies don't hold up 5-10 years later.

[@kenny240]

@@nsasupporter7557 I think that’s partly due to movies like Tron were really hard to market back then. Computers weren’t in every home yet, video games were still in their infancy, and people didn’t go to the movies just for the visual technical merits of a film. When you look back on Tron, the story was compelling for someone who is fully enveloped with technology 24/7. But it’s a weird concept to grasp for people who had almost no exposure to cutting edge (for the time) technology. Jurassic Park was instantly a hit though, because it was a good movie regardless of the visuals, and it was far easier to market a movie about a company cloning dinosaurs, and something goes wrong and the Dino’s wreak havoc.

[@Daveyboy100880]

@@nsasupporter7557 I wonder if Tron would have been more popular, or at least easier to market, if some contemporary video games had been portrayed, like Defender, Breakout or Space Invaders, so the characters are participating in 3D depictions of something recognisable that audiences could latch on to… but would that have made it too much of it’s time and less loved in the long run? Personally, I like that it’s its own thing, but if it was made these days I’m sure it would feature so many references!

Dinosaurs were stupendous and spectacular enough to inspire incredible awe all on their own - not to mention that the awe is only increased by knowing these behemoths *really did exist* - and Jurassic World having a whole new fake genetically-modified species as the major threat actually totally undermined any sense of awe for me.

Needless to say, I was blown away by the film.

I love that the closed captions on the feeding of the raptors is just "Mooing in terror"

[@thedarkknight2221]

Fun Dinosaur Facts: 1) T-Rex did not have movement based vision, it had great vision. But it was a fast runner, and it has to this day the strongest bite force of any land animal that ever existed. With a bite force of 6 metric tons!!! 2) In real life Velociraptor was not 6 feet tall and 9 feet long but 2 feet tall and 6 feet long. And they like all raptors were actually covered head to toe in feathers. There were raptors as big as the ones in the movies but they didn’t have names as cool as velociraptor. But they were every bit as smart and deadly as they were in this movie. 3) Dilophasaurus (the spitter) didn’t actually spit venom, and they were not that small. They were actually huge, 7 feet tall and 23 feet long!!!

Most amazing cinema experience ever. Never had a movie match the pure magic of Jurassic Park since. Edit: Just wanted to say about Nedry, is that he wasn't actually fleeing the island. He shut down security, gathered the specimens, and he was on his way to the docks with the can to give it to one of the boatmen... and he would then head back to the control room, with nobody wise to what he'd done. But, he get's lost. And eaten.

Another series I grew up with. I remember having a poster of the T-Rex stepping on the truck with the tire hanging out of it's mouth when I was little. you definitely have good taste in movies. A little hint that the dinosaurs were gonna reproduce in a single sex environment was when Grant had trouble with the seat belts. He used two female ends of the belts to "find a way" to make it work. As to Hammond, the movie made him seem like a nice old man with good intention, but the book has him portrayed a lot differently. We definitely gotta get you out to Universal and Disney one day because you'd probably enjoy both parks.

Fun Fact: This movie used the "who is who" of Special Effects legends and studios at the time. They tried literally EVERY form of special effects possible to create the "perfect illusion". They used puppets, animotronics, clay-mation/stop-motion, practical effects, camera angles, camera tricks of perspective.... literally EVERYTHING because they didn't think that the computers at the time could do a proper job. They slowly realized that by taking the above listed effects and using the computers to "enhance" the motion on camera, some of the older techniques were no longer needed. Instead of just walking away from the movie completely, these older technique experts dived DEEPER into the computer graphics technology and ended up working as "consultants" to the computer people making even MORE detailed renders. They eventually got to the point of what we see in the movie today. The ironic thing is, while some of these graphics are a little dated in spots.... those same special effects experts that had to change their old ways, actually became the "cutting edge" experts that basically laid down the "groundwork of basic rules to using CGI" that we use today. Taking scans, composites, frame by frame, single articulation of computer models at a time, addition of fur, or wind, or water effects..... everything we take for granted TODAY when it comes to computer graphics, they laid down the foundation brick-by-brick that has made it one of the most used elements of movies for basically 30 years now.

"Is he _nuts?_ My _god."_ It earned him the nickname "The Crocodile Hunter." Leading up to his death (while dealing with stingrays, wouldn't you know), I had been teasing the notion of possibly making a movie in the _Jurassic Park_ series with _him_ in it.

In the theater when this came out that moment where the huge dinosaurs first comes on screen was a moment. CGI was brand new and this was the first time that dinosaurs were shown to be like actual living creatures, it was great to watch back then. And your line Magy of, "I'm not going to look at the water the same way again" reminds me of the response Jaws received from the public when it was released way back. Also, the latest research is that a T-Rex could likely travel at 10-12 miles per hour, so a fast human could, with a head start, outrun one.

Fun Fact Jurassic Park is considered one of longest theater run films. It played in theaters across America from June 9th 1993 until October 1994. The films premise as well as the mixture of Practical and CGI effects were considered a true marvel of the early 90's. I remember my family saw this in theaters like 5-10 times before it finally went to Home Video.

I also saw this movie as a kidlette! With my mum and brother in the cinema, I was super young and loved dinosaurs - but I think my mum regretted taking me and going herself! She found the t-rex scenes scary and I...well, lets just say during the Raptor hunting the kid's scene I "dropped my lollies and had to go look for them behind the seats" 😂 I had a great imagination, so a movie like this terrified me as a kid! If we ever to get the ability to bring them back... let's start with the small herbivores 😉 As fantastic the effects are - combining early CG and practical in a way that modern movies need to learn from, there are 2 scenes that once I learnt about I can't unsee. The first is while the raptor's are hunting the kids, around when one stands in the door way to summon its friends, you can actually see in the back ground a stage hand holding onto one of the raptors. The other occurs as the CG t-rex eats the CG raptor at the end of the film - for about 1 frame the raptor stops rendering and is just not there. It's so engrossing I never noticed it until it was pointed out! I also always forget Samual L Jackson is in this flick. Oh, and I can''t hold it against the kid Tim for not jumping off the fence. The first time I went rock climbing, my body refused to let go of the wall to be lowered by my belayer to the ground. I just froze up and in the end down climbed the wall

Our 7th grade English teacher made the book our first read of the year in anticipation of the movie release. It was my first real world taste of adult fiction. At the time, I had no idea that book and movie would leave an everlasting impact on my life. Another angle to all of this was the movie score written by John Williams. It was just as impactful on me as the movie (being a music geek) I can still see the cassette tape on my dresser next to my tape player.

[@stevenr6397]

NONE of the sequels even come close to the magic that this movie had, it just gets better with age, not because the film changes but because your age changes the way you see the film, the whole Dr Grant realising he wants kids thing was WAYYYYY over my head when i was ten years old but now it almost brinjgs a tear to my eye

[@brianstraight9308]

Yeah, but practicality the seatbelt wouldn't *work* like that and, well, come on, the male side of the seatbelt was there somewhere he took Elle's female end and, well, he couldn't figure out the seatbelt. ;) But, yeah, remove your logic and take the scene at face-value and it's a cute play on things.

[@JedHead77]

The first film to use CGI to create realistic organic creatures! To this day, the wide shots of the T-Rex in the rain are some of the most realistic CGI to date! 🦖

[@friendlyreptile9931]

The CGI is not that good, it's all the practical stuff that looks amazeing

[@JedHead77]

@@friendlyreptile9931 Look at the shot of the T-Rex walking from Grants car/POV to the one with the kids. It’s flawless.

@@JedHead77 Yeh, there are 2-3 rly good cgi moments like this one were they even blend from practical to cgi. That's true, but there is also bad cgi like the moment where they arrive at JP and see the first dinos or the raptors in the kitchen cgi.

[@rhonafenwick5643]

This is one of my favourite movies! The performances are great (it makes Jurassic World look pretty uninspiring by comparison), and the cinematography, music, and special effects stand up so well even almost 30 years after it was made. A true classic! By the way, the "Loy Method" mentioned by Sam Neill when they're watching the little animated introductory film is a direct homage to the work on ancient DNA done by Professor Tom Loy, an archaeologist who was a pioneer in the study of ancient biochemistry. Dinosaur DNA was never involved in Tom's work - it seems that DNA probably can't survive that long, even in amber - but he did do a lot of DNA work on more recent palaeontological and archaeological remains, including Ötzi, the Tyrolean "Iceman". Though some of his results were controversial, he did a lot to advance the discipline during the early phases of its development. (I had the great honour of knowing Tom personally, as both mentor and friend, until his unexpected sudden death in late 2005. His teaching and mentorship has shaped my entire perspective as an archaeologist and I always try to tell people about him and his work, to keep him alive through his memory. ♥ )

[@andrewkelley434]

Great reaction, Magy!!! I remember when this came to theaters! It stayed in theaters FOREVER!!! It was unbelievably popular. I loved your "don't be suspicious" during Tim and Lex's raptor scene!!! The way Grant's attitude towards children "evolves" and at the end, the way he looks at Ellie while he has the kids asleep in his arms is precious :)

[@stevechitty5861]

Fun fact : the animated t-rex would keep on switching itself on and off during scene and lunch time breaks as it kept malfunctioning scaring the actors

[@RedLP5000S]

I saw this movie with my family on the second day of release at Pleasure Island in Walt Disney World. It was such a surreal moment! Everyone in the theater started laughing when Dr. Hammond said that he should have built his park in Orlando, because we were all sitting in a theater in Orlando hahaha! 😂😂😂

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"Well, I think we can all agree that the park is not safe." Oh, I dunno... a few minor tweaks and I'm sure everything will be great! 😉🤣

[@15blackshirt]

This and its sequel The Lost World are based on the Michael Crichton novels of the same name, though a number of changes were made. After those two are Jurassic Park 3, Jurassic World, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, the newly released Jurassic World Dominion, the short film Battle at Big Rock and the Netflix animated series Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous. There are also a multitude of videogames. Just like with Terminator 2, this perfectly utilized animatronics, miniatures, puppets, makeup and computer generated effects. Another creature horror film by Steven Spielberg I recommend watching is Jaws

[@jcg1576]

Steven Spielberg who directed Jurassic Park became a top name director and ultimately truly saw his career take off when as an unknown new movie director he directed the original or what is often called the original summer blockbuster movie, that is credited with make people truly afraid of the water, 1975’s “Jaws”. Steven Spielberg often said in interviews that Jaws both his greatest movie making experience but it ultimately made him the famous movie director that he is today and his worst movie making experience because of the challenges he faced shooting on the open ocean and dealing with a fake mechanical movie monster shark that often didn’t work. For many jaws is the movie referred to when talking of ones fear of the water and or the ocean.

[@Sentinel3D]

One thing that Jurassic Park fixed in later episodes is that just because animals are herbivores, it doesn't mean they won't be territorial, aggressive or just kill you for no reason. People like to blame the person just for being there, but anyone who gets too near a bison, bull, moose, the wrong deer's fawn, a rhino, elephant, gorilla or hippo will painfully, or fatally learn that agression isn't about what you eat. It can be about territory or protecting offspring, or just being in heat.

[@NEET_201]

man Jurassic Park, I remember my grandmother bought it on VHS for me, remember watching it over and over again, made me into one of does weird kids that loved dinosaurs back when I was like 7/8, man good times, simpler times lol hope it hold up to my nostalgic memories

[@herrzimm]

Fun Fact 2: The "Kitchen Scene" was planned out frame by frame on both a "drafting board" AND through "stop-motion". By using both forms of planning camera angles and timing, the computers were able to put one of the most memorable moments in cinema into the movie that STILL terrifies generations to this day. It is also one of the most referenced scenes in a TON of movies afterward, including several TV-shows and animated movies/shows. Is there any wonder why this movie was entered into the "National Archive of Film" in order to preserve it for generations to come. Meaning that the ORIGINAL format that the movie was released in was saved BY USA CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY in order to ensure that no matter what no format of technology we create today, we will always have a copy of this movie available to transfer from the original format to the new technology. Even in Blue-Ray at 1000p (and above), this movie STILL looks amazing on both the big screen and on televisions or computer around the world. (And there have been several "limited release" in theaters that have sold out EVERY TIME just because people still want to see the effects on the big screen and how much bigger in theaters all the dinosaurs were intended to look.

[@amwfan88]

I was in kindergarten when I saw Jurassic Park, which may have been a bit too young to see it, but I loved it back then and I love it now. As a kid it was mostly the dinosaurs, but as an adult I appreciate not just the dinosaurs but the plot as well.

[@danjenkins21]

Yes!! Jurassic Park! The original and the best. I remember the first time I saw this movie when i was a kid and 30 years later it still looks better than most modern day films. They did a great job making the dinosaurs look so realistic. Great reaction as always, Magy!

[@Osprey850]

When Dr. Hammond encouraged the baby dino to break out its shell and Magy said, sweetly, "this is the beauty of nature," I immediately thought of the T-rex chomping on the guy on the toilet. Ah, the beauty of nature.

[@HS-su3cf]

Magy talking about kids: "Ha, Ha, they will be traumatised for life". 20:20 those hard to open snack-packs can be really frustrating.

[@xXSinForLifeXx]

37:34 "Unless they figure out how to open doors" she just had to say that 😂😂

[@ImperialGodzilla]

This is why the Big One was such an aggressive raptor. It changed into a male and killed the others for control

[@dbzgal04]

I love science, but certain things have absolutely no business being tampered with; this movie conveys that message perfectly!

[@CDRhammond]

You think that's scary there are a few reptiles today that are fully capable of doing that too. Both Nile and Saltwater Crocodiles learn patterns and will attack when its the best opportunity. We have a few Nile crocodiles that were in a Zoo in Chicago that were so dangerous that they remembered where the doors were at feeding times and were waiting for the keepers to open them. Got so bad and had one too many close calls that they started feeding them from the ceiling instead to avoid the chance of the Croc's grabbing one of the keepers, which is exactly what they were trying to do every time those old feeding side doors opened. Sharks are also capable of learning too

[@angelobrewster6293]

The T-rex in this movie shows up years later in the Jurassic World movies by then she's quite an old dinosaur but still strong enough to hunt and kill plus her name is Rexy.

[@TwilightLink77]

Plus she still has the scars from her battle with the two raptors.

[@nicodemustomeo9156]

I remember watching when I was really young. It wasn't in the theater. But I remember how my younger brothers were scarred at most scenes (Rex attack and Dilophosaurus scene) and me, I was laughing and cheering.

[@Hiraghm]

Shortly after the T-rex showed up, Dr Grant's paternal instincts began kicking in. That's why he grabbed the flare, that's why he went after Timmy and reassured Lex, that's why he put his arms around them and stayed awake during the night. The paternal instinct is real, and a beautiful thing.

[@thaddeusskywalker5293]

My dad actually met the kid who played Tim. He had the job of driving him to the set of a movie he was working on, called Starkid. My dad said that he was very shy.

[@C76Caravan]

"Clever girl" is one of those all time quotes most people have heard (of). Iirc, the scene of the kids screaming for their life in the Ford when only that roof glass is between them and the T-Rex is real in the sense that the animatronic T-Rex head was pushing down on them, so they were screaming for real. I'm very science inclined, but the philosophical discussion in the beginning is amazing and definitely worth even as a scientist to think about.

[@MasterSimpkins]

At 4:50 the noise the can/squeal makes foreshadows the dinosaur that kills him

[@stethespaniard2]

The thing about this is Hammond says he’s spared no expense but nedry (the traitor) was the only one doing to programming and it should’ve been a team. Nedry was doing the work of a team of programmers by himself but was severely underpaid for it. He’s working on an island with dinosaurs but he says he can’t afford new glasses if he loses his. No excuse for what he did but if you’re lied to, used and abused you’re going to get disgruntled so his actions do make sense

[@ScornedOne1080]

I was 13-14 years old when this came out. Though the book came out around a year before, myh parents made me a deal that they would take the family to see the movie in theaters if I read the book first. So, i read the book first . . . then went to see the movie, and had many a midnight terror involving velociraptors for years after. XD On the bright side, we've found that the T-Rex was more of a scavenger, and based on it's bone structure, it couldn't run more than 15-20 mph . . . a human in average shape could outrun it.
