[@KAC07]

My all time favorite film for sure, thank you for making my childhood 🦖🦕❤

[@bluecollarbuilds]

It’s a real shame they don’t make movies like this anymore. This will forever be one of the greatest ever.

[@bluecollarbuilds]

@igakoga2481 it is subjective as long as we can agree that JP3 Fallen Kingdom and Dominion aren’t on that list

[@UlricGrim]

@igakoga2481They don’t make groundbreaking movies like this anymore, it’s a thing of the past. What’s done is already done, there’s nothing new anymore. And I personally don’t know of any other movie that has dinosaurs in it that was a huge global phenomenon as this was in 1993 and still is 31 years later.

[@Fortnutterking]

CGI is just cheaper and most Directors are Lazy. Spielberg, Carpenter were an exception to this rule. They did it because they loved making movies, not for quick profit. It depends on the magical director. George Lucas was good up until the Prequels where he destroyed the effects with crappy CGI. He is a better example of the difference in profit and effort.

[@Pizza-TimeStudios54]

In my thoughts, Jurassic Park is one of the greatest Universal films that ever exists as a global phenomenal picture. Great to see the original 5 cast return as a reunion. ❤🦕🦖😊

[@clcg1800]

I'm literally dying from nostalgia. Jurassic Park is what I bleed❤ just beautifully timeless and very awe-inspiring 😘😘😘😘

RIP Richard Attenborough and Robert Peck. These men and women formed an lifelong memory of a child who grew up in the 90s. Absolute work of art Jurassic Park is. Such a rewatchable motion picture. Brilliant.

[@Jpark.]

These 5 have made so many childhoods, including my own. I wish Joseph and Ariana were in Dominion, but at least we got to see Sam, Laura, and Jeff one more time in this franchise.

[@Leto85]

I was hoping fof that too. And fof a long moment I thought the young black lady was Kelly, anx I couldn't wait to see the reunion of her with Malcolm, but alas. The series isn't over yet, so we could keep our hopes up. :)

[@JMVIDS78]

Lex, Tim and Kelly 30 years later, how they have adjusted to worldwide dinosaurs. I would still like to see that!

[@Leto85]

@@JMVIDS78 Oh, yes. Me too. And their ptsd involving that.

[@ChristianKessler4185]

these two would be actually perfect to return for a new third n final trilogy in my honest opinion, letting them basically get into the footsteps of the adult actors of JP when they were full grown up. It would be just nice to see, what for lives these two have had, after JP and now after Dominion, when basicalyl the dinos repopulated the world like a plague suddenly, and all their memories basicalyl from JP haunt them back now suddenly in a new status qou of the world, where the dinos aren't anymore far far faaaar away on an island, where they are only able to live there, but now suddenly everywhere on the world, due to the organisms of them havign changed and adapted to the world... id find a trilogy story about them as Main Protagonists would be the perfect enclosure of the whole Jurassic franchise.

[@Leto85]

That was amazing to watch. My favourite scene was the first time they saw the Brachiosaurus and how each character reacted to that. Donald Genero (the lawyer) exclaiming 'We're gonna make a fortune with this place' said so much about his character where the others were amazed by the sight of a warmblooded living mega sauropod. I'm still amazed how all the death scenes are so iconic. You can't remake that without it being a direct reference or satire. Not a single one of them was lacking an iconic moment. Even all main dinosaur had their distinct features. And although I love Jurassic World too, the fact that there were not even that many different dinosaurs in the first movie shows that less can be more. Jurassic Park... I was 7 when it came out, and I am 38 now.; it's still my favourite movie. 🦕🦖

[@RetroCrisis]

Jurassic Park is a perfect movie. It has everything! Comedy, Drama, Action, Horror everything. No sequels needed.

[@nykolaiblichar2325]

This film was a defining film of my childhood growing up. So glad to still have this franchise with us!

[@scottdj1982]

Neill, Dern and Goldblum are total heavyweights in the business, amazing at their trade. Thank you so so much for giving this 41 year old Scotsman so many happy memories ❤

[@chrisquivers968]

This classic came out the year I was born and I believe this was the first movie I ever saw and it is still one of my favorite movies! ❤❤

[@davidjoe3368]

Alot of things came together to make this Movie even possible. Computer technology had finally reached a level where they could actually make dinosaurs look real without having to use only puppets. This Movie is one of the greatest of all time, and it is truly incredible how fast 30 years have gone by!

[@paytonedwards7066]

My childhood through and through and I was late to the older generations, I was born in 2000 but these movies were my life, and forever will be my favorite movie saga of all time, I have enjoyed introducing my kids and my wife to these movies, Jurassic Park as a whole, is what inspired my imagination, without this series I don't have a clue who'd I'd be as a person, thank you Jurassic Park!

Jurassic Park is one of my favorites Happy 30th Anniversary 🦖🦕

[@tomatowing512]

It was iconic, and it inspired me on so many things I did in my career.

[@Cakewalk_Phoenix]

Like you all said, people were inspired to be a biophysicist or paleontologist because of y’all. I was one of them.

[@PhilMachi]

Beautiful tribute! Let's also remember the great Michael Crichton for coming up with these beloved characters and exciting story. It captured the imagination of so many but especially Steven Spielberg who felt compelled to bring those moments to the big screen!

You can debate the differences with the novel, and the latest discoveries in paleontology, but as a dinosaur filled movie this is as good as it gets. An iconic masterpiece

[@bps3013]

My brother and I (both in our mid 20's) saw this in a packed theater and when the T-Rex punched its face through the roof of jeep to get the kids the entire place went berserk! Grown men and women screaming bloody terror, slamming back in their seats, the whole deal. Truly iconic and I'll never forget it!

Nothing will beat the original....was and is just so iconic compared to anything since then. Will be a big part of my childhood, I even remember watching it for the first time as a 10 year old. Thank you to these actors for being a small part of my life.

[@Vylkeer]

I was thinking that 1993 was truly a good one: Jurassic Park came out, as well as DOOM and Ariana Grande. Jeff and Laura are looking really good! That's my favorite piece from this franchise composed by John Williams, the end credits 0:30

[@theexpatgunner]

What an incredible movie, it was way ahead of its time and I can’t believe 30’years have passed since its release. I remember when I was 12 years old seeing at the cinema for the first time, The effects and magic that brought dinosaurs to life on the big screen blew my mind! Now I’m 43 and it’s still one of my all time favorite movies.

[@erics2091]

The theme song we all know.

[@Grace.B_from-Japan]

When I first saw JP when I was 8 years old, I cried during the scene where Dr. Alan was moved by seeing dinosaurs for the first time. I had the illusion that there were real dinosaurs. Even as a child, I knew that the CG I had seen before was fake, but I did not recognize that scene as CG at the time. I was surprised to see the same face as Ellie, shed tears like Alan, and felt the same way as Malcolm.🦕 I don't know if the shock was too strong at the time, but I may have seen it dozens of times...maybe even a hundred times. Yet I still cry at the scene where the three of them see dinosaurs for the first time.🦕🥲 It was said at the time that a little girl was an unusual child to like dinosaurs. There were hardly any girls on the museum tours to see fossils and dinosaur skeletons, and if there were, they were all chaperones. I still remember that after JP was released in theaters, the number of girls on the museum tours I attended increased. I am sure that this work will continue to touch my heart until the day I die. My thanks and respect to all the people involved in this work. With love from Japan.🦖🇺🇸🇯🇵🦕

[@Grace.B_from-Japan]

PS, In an interview in Japan, Sam said of the Japanese premiere of Jurassic Park. 【The Japanese audience didn't laugh at the jokes or scream at the scary scenes. The audience was extremely quiet from start to finish. When the lights came on after the screening, we said to ourselves, "It won't be a hit in Japan. We said to each other, "I guess they didn't like this movie. But when we left the theater, there were crowds of people waiting for us on the street. The Japanese audience didn't speak, but they liked the film.】 In Japan, if you speak up when watching a movie or a play, other people may not be able to hear the dialogue, or you may not be able to concentrate on the scene you want to watch quietly because of someone else's voice, In this sense, there is a rule of "be quiet in the theater. I want to tell the people who were visiting Japan with Sam at that time. How much JP has been loved by Japan for the past 30 years.

[@hamodalbather]

i have no idea what kind of method Sam Neil having .. in Jurassic park he was 44 yet he looked like 50+ .. but now when he is 76 he looked like 60 !!!! i don't know what is going on here .. lol make up your mind .. you either age faster or slower .. you cannot be both

As a lil' kid this movie changed my life, the impact it had on me I think nothing even came close years after. Imagination is such a powerful thing, curiosity can move worlds... Jurassic Park showed us all of this and more first hand. Eternal love for JP and the people behind this masterpiece.
