[@carlrs15]

this movie is almost THIRTY years old, and the CGI still looks better than a lot of modern films

[@SexyAlien2]

Is it CGI though, or did they use robotic dinosaurs ?

[@carlrs15]

@@SexyAlien2 both! CGI for the full-body shots and animatronics for the close-up interactions with the truck (looking through the window, etc.)

[@SexyAlien2]

@@carlrs15 That's interesting, thanks!!

[@lameduck3105]

Animatronics is far superior to CGI and most of the shots done here with the dinosaurs was made with animatronics. It just looks way more real because it is.

I agree with both of you. Cassie is by far the best reactor on KZbin. I’ve seen this movie countless times and I’ve seen many reactions to it so I was kind of bummed at first to see this was her choice but, once again, Cassie made it like I was seeing it for the first time.

I love that Malcom repets the "must go faster" line in Independence Day.

[@stillhuntre55]

I saw this in my twenties at a Drive-In. The audio for the film was broadcast on a radio frequency, and you tuned your car radio to it and listened to the film over your car's speakers. There was a light rain, which was PERFECT for this movie - and we had our drinks sitting on the dashboard. When they first introduce the T Rex with the "boom, boom, boom" and the water in the glass ripples, our car's speaker was making the whole dashboard vibrate with each boom, and the ice in our drinks would shake with a "chshhhh, chshhh, chshhh". WHO NEED VR?? Just bring back drive-ins!!

And the footsteps.

[@PalmDesertRock]

@Maya Nightwolf In the scene where the Rex crashes through the car's glass roof, she loses a tooth. It's not missing in the rest of the movie but the animatronic lost a tooth and it can be seen if you skip through the individual frames of that moment. When she appears at the end of Jurassic World, she not only has the scars from the raptor fight, but she's also missing the tooth. It's a tiny detail, but it's so cool that they put it into the movie.

way better than the overdone CGI of the rebooted trilogy. Dialogue was much more natural and funny too. The way they incorporated CGI sparingly and carefully while using practical effects for the rest really stands the test of time. Obviously during that era it was more of a cost/capability issue rather than an artistic choice because rendering abilities were so limited and expensive, but either way, it worked out very nicely.

"I bet you could feel that in the theater..." I worked in a movie theater when this movie came out. Thanks to the THX sound system, the dinosaur's footsteps and roars were insanely loud and realistic. Not only could you feel and hear it in the theater it was playing in, you could also feel and hear it in the surrounding theaters, the hall and the lobby. I once passed a guy in the hall next to the doors of the theater that was playing JP as he was coming back from the concession stand. Just at that moment the T-Rex roared and this poor guy jumped so bad he lost half of his popcorn on the floor. LOL

The dinosaurs looked so real because for the most part, they were. Most of the close up shots of the dinosaurs were actually animatronic, while most of the wide shots where they're moving around a lot are CGI, which was groundbreaking at the time and still holds up even today!

[@PalmDesertRock]

The combination was really smart too. The shot where the T-Rex can be seen through the glass roof of Alan's and Ian's car is animatronic, then when the camera pans down to show the Rex walking towards the kid's car it's CGI, the transition masked by the beam that separates the car's glass roof from the windshield.

[@Miketheratguy]

This was honestly probably the greatest theatrical experience I ever had. It came at the perfect time in my life, on the perfect evening. I was 15, the line to see the movie was literally wrapped all the way around the building, and the theater was completely full - literally every seat was taken. It began storming outside right around the time that the amazing T-Rex set piece took place, making it difficult to tell whether the thunder we were hearing was from the film or just outside the doors. It added so much to the experience. And everyone in theater was into it - you could feel the electricity in the air. The atmosphere was so tense, people were jumping at all the right times, laughing at all the right times. And by the time it was over I think everyone left just utterly satisfied with having witnessed a roller coaster of a film. And what a film it is. From the aforementioned amazing set pieces to the stunning score (my actual favorite of John Williams' work, and one of his few scores not nominated for an Oscar) to the mind-blowing special effects and sheer power of sound and visuals, it was a landmark of filmmaking and such a joy to have been lucky enough to behold on the big screen (which I subsequently did several more times before it left theaters). I was surprised that the book is actually not as good. It's much more dry, pretty tedious in parts (there's an overly long sequence where Grant and the kids float down a river which seems to take forever), kills half the characters, and makes Hammond seem like a greedy asshole (he even blames his grandkids for the failure of his park at one point). Spielberg was smart enough to sense what worked in the book and focus on that rather than getting deep into the background of Dr. Wu or lengthy manifests of how many dinosaurs were in the park, etc. He made it a fun movie that still contained the core story that made it so interesting in the first place. Speaking of the book, funny thing: In the original story the roles of the kids are reversed: the boy is the older one and the girl is little more than a toddler who's constantly whining. It was difficult to read lines like "Lex said 'I'm hungwy!" without picturing an intellectually challenged version of this actress saying it. So yeah, amazing film. Shame that out of six movies this is the only truly great one, with Jurassic World being the only decent follow-up (itself way below the quality of the original) and your choice of which of the first two sequels - The Lost World or Jurassic Park III - was the more tolerable of the two. For my money JP III is actually the more entertaining film, even if that trailer sequence in The Lost World was breathtaking.

It was not so slow as people think, actually today computers are very slow. Most of 90s computers were based on DOS, it booted instantly and today software was well optimised, even in early 2000s software had similar speed like today or even faster on good computer. Everything is really badly optimised today, you have 8 core 5 GHz CPUs, 16GB RAM, SSDs and you are still converting movie to different codec whole night and still waiting for something, internet is slower and slowet even when we have very fast connection, but webpages are obese with crazy commercials everywhere. I really don't like this evolution.

@Necramonium "You mean multiple academy award winning John Williams and Spielberg? Sure mate." Spielberg I have mixed feelings about for reasons I won't get into. But Williams? At least 90% of his best stuff is straight plagiarised from older composers. Richard Strauss, Gustav Holst, Igor Stravinsky to name just a handful I've identified, but I haven't really dedicated any time to picking through his scores enough to find more, plus my own knowledge of classical music is fairly limited to the more popular pieces played on classical music radio. All the great film composers have done it at least a little bit. Williams did it A LOT. James Horner did it too for some of his most memorable scores - a piece of Aram Khachaturian called 'Gayane Adagio' used in 2001 A Space Odyssey (the intro of the Discovery, it's crew and HAL) was plagiarised by Horner in his scores for 'Aliens' and 'Patriot Games' to name just a couple, though he probably did it elsewhere too. More recently I heard a piece by the composer Alexander Borodin on the radio and linked it to several scores by the great Jerry Goldsmith, including Alien amongst others. Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because they got away with that plagiarism that it doesn't exist. Because believe me it really does.

So revenge was also part of his motivation for sabotaging the park. His plan was to steal the samples, get back to the command center, cover his tracks, get paid by Dodson, then quit right before the park grand opening, and probably screw the whole system when he left as a 'f*ck you' to Hammond. But Nedry still endangered(and got killed) a lot of people through his actions, and knowingly underbid his competition for the original contract, even with InGens original specs in mind, thinking he could demand a higher payout once he got the job. Once he realized how big the job was he was stuck, as he had underbid teams by thinking he was good enough to do it by himself.
