Leia welcomes you to JURASSIC PARK (1993) Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@exile220ify]

Per your comment, Hammond did indeed actually die in the book. There was a lot from the book left out that got covered in the next two films. Everything after that was invented by Hollywood, not Michael Crichton. If you like a good read you'll love this book. Once I picked it up, I didn't put it down until I'd finished it.

[@sean---the-other-one]

Yes, it’s like Westworld as Jurassic Park and Westworld were written by the same guy.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

My Aunts took me to see this when it came out. First movie I ever saw at a cinema, I would have only been about 5 years old. To this day I still can't see a commercial kitchen with stainless steel benches and not get sweaty palms lol. It's probably the 90s movie that holds up the most today, still a masterpiece no matter how many times you watch it.

[@sean---the-other-one]

I can’t understand how people can take kids to see stuff like this.

[@ddayvolt]

@goodshipkaraboudjan omg same here except it was my 8th bday!

[@sean---the-other-one]

@ How do you know that person’s aunts?

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

Nice to see you here Princess! When this movie was released, I was 6 yo. You cannot imagine how much this movie touched me. After leaving the cinema impressed. It was an era of total merchandising: sticker albums, little dinosaurs in cereal, magazines... it was one of my best childhood memories. The OST by John Williams is simply timeless. And the film a masterpiece (I highly recommend you the novel, written before by Michael Crichton. So deep)

[@asterix7842]

"Is this where Westworld got the idea?" Not quite. Michael Crichton wrote and directed Westworld in 1973, He published the Jurassic Park book in 1990. As a big dinosaur and Spielberg fan, this is one of my favorite movies. I saw it at least a dozen times in theaters and countless times since. In reality, Velociraptors were about the size of wild turkeys. The raptors in this movie more closely resemble Deinonychus but, I guess, Spielberg thought raptor sounded better. There is no evidence to support the theory that T-rex wouldn't be able to see you if you don't move so, if you ever come across a T-rex, run! Dinosaurs would have a hard time surviving in today's world. The air in the Cretaceous period held about 50% more oxygen than today, and the temps would have been 5-10 degrees celsius warmer. That T-rex chasing the Jeep would have had to stop every few steps and catch her breath. The first sequel, The Lost World, is pretty good too, and worth watching. The third movie (the first not directed by Spielberg) isn't as good, but still enjoyable. Besides the ones you mentioned, other Spielberg movies you should check out are Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Hook (1991), Schindler's List (1993), Saving Private Ryan (1998), The Terminal (2004), and of course the Indiana Jones movies.

[@ThatIckyGuy]

Funny you mention Westworld. The guy who wrote the book that Jurassic Park is based on (Michael Crichton) also wrote the movie that the TV series is based on.

When you hear people say animatronic or robot they mean they used animatronic dinosaurs which I worked on back in '92 on the full size animatronic T-Rex which weighed 9000 LBS! We built these dinos at the Stan Winston studios! And they also used CGI for some of the dino scenes which were groundbreaking back in '93! And it still holds up today!

[@EntertainmentFan11]

[@bradleywhite9992]

This was the first movie i saw in a theater. At 7, when the Trex gives that first roar after breaking free, was a life changing experience. True movie magic.

[@finsternis1986]

I also saw it in theaters when I was 7. I remember really liking it and somehow not being too scared, which is surprising, because I was scared of *everything* as a kid. lol

[@domingocurbelomorales8635]

Lord Richard Attenborough (John Hammond) was a very prolific british actor. He was the older brother of famous naturalist Sir David Attenborough.

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction Leia like always, What an epic movie love it. When I saw this in the theaters there was NO CONVINCING anyone that dinosaurs were not real. The CGI and effects were so beyond anyone’s imagination. It still holds up decades later. The part where Dr. Grant sees the dinosaur for the first time always puts a lump in my throat. He's spent his entire life digging up their remains and from that, trying to determine how they lived, hunted, mated, everything. He's even talking to himself going over what he thought he always knew about them. Super powerful and well acted if you ask me! Here's a fun fact that has been stuck in my head for 30 years.The iconic water cup was actually really difficult to create. They spent weeks trying to figure out how to get the perfect ripples. By accident it was discovered that placing the glass on a guitar and plucking the strings created the ripples, so they ran a guitar string from bottom of the glass to the bottom of the car and plucked it. Perfect ripples. One of those cool super simple solutions that just need someone to think of them. Keep up the good work.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

*It doesn't matter how often I've seen Jurassic Park, that scene in the maintenance bunker when the Raptor shows up behind Ellie will always get me with the jumpscare.* *Side notes:* *>The dinosaur sounds in this movie were made by combining sounds made by living animals and everyday objects.* *>The Tyrannosaurus rex, affectionately known as Rexy, was a mix of elephant calf vocalizations (roar, snarls and growls), with koala, lion & tiger sounds and alligator gurgles thrown in and a dog playing with a rope toy (shaking the Gallimimus to death).* *>The Dilophosaurus was a mix of hawk, swan, howler monkey and rattlesnake sounds.* *>The adult Raptors were a mix of a walrus chest roar and dolphin mating scream, while the hatchling was a mix of owlet and fox kit sounds.* *>The Brachiosaurus vocalizations were slowed down donkey brays, while the sneeze was a mix of an active fire hydrant and a whale breathing through its blowhole(s). (There's an "s" in parentheses because depending on whether or not whales have teeth or baleen plates (think of them as biological water filters) in their mouths, whales have either one of two blowholes)* *>The Gallimimus's chief sound effect was made using the recorded calls of a mare (female horse) in heat, while their movements were inspired by those of ostriches.* *A good portion of this movie was shot on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.* *>Whenever I hear Hammond ask "Who's hungry?", my first reaction every time is "Not after hearing the Raptors rip the cow apart."* *>Lego released 30th anniversary sets in honor of Jurassic Park and the one I have is based on Dennis Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus.*

[@neutrino78x]

this movie came out when I was in high school, I went to see it 🙂 I read the book first, I love Michael Crichton books 🙂

[@TheHessian123]

In response to the kid who said that Velociraptors are not scary; they are more like 6-foot turkeys, let me respond by saying, "Ever seen a live turkey? A live 6-foot turkey would scare the heck out of me."

[@mikefetterman6782]

This movie won lots of awards for it's amazing CGI effects. Something that was just starting to take off. Although Jim Henson (Sesame Street/muppet show) was called in for some of the close up neonates hatching, most of this was done with the newest in CGI effects.

[@CrownlessKing88]

Usually when you see the ENTIRE dinosaur, it’s CGI. But a lot of the shots of Dinos from the head to halfway down its animatronic. Aside from the sick Triceratops. She was an entirely animatronic “trike”

[@davidwilburn4734]

Some of the reactors keep a pillow on their lap to protect them from the big baddies. The throw the pillow up and peek over it when they get startled. It's cute.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"Are you married?" "Occasionally." 😆 Such a great line!

[@r.t.643]

Oh yeah, I love Jurasstic Park!

[@Glennwulf]

oh the book is sooooooo much better lmao. but don't get me wrong this movie is amazing too. The book is just on a whole other level though

[@5thRace]

14:37 West World was an earlier film by the same author Michael Crichton. Basically he just re-did West world with Dinosaurs. he also did a follow up to west world in 1976 called futureworld, based in the same park as west world, they should close that place down! He was also involved the 80's TV show Beyond West world, but not in the 2016 TV show as he was dead by then.

[@neutrino78x]

Leia you didn't recognize Neuman at 7:41?? That means you haven't seen the TV show Seinfeld yet....highly recommended!! 🙂 It was also on when I was in high school 🙂

[@chumpzilla000]

Westworld, the TV series is based on Westworld (film 1973). Check it out. It's a little different from the series

[@Morgana7262]

People are like "Spielberg is a genius because he made us believe dinosaurs", but he also made a car chase people down the face of a tree and land in a classic Buster Keaton gag and nobody even questioned it.

[@Ottuln]

Not to mention it goes from being completely flat to a 40 foot drop between when the T-Rex leaves the paddock and when the car goes over the edge...

[@centurycountess4949]

to answer your question I believe they were some robotic dinosaurs I say that because I remember when I was very young right when this movie was coming out there was a fair not for the opening just a regular fair with rides etc and T Rex was there. it looked exactly like the one from Jurassic park but I do recall it was tall but not as huge as it looked in the tour car trashing scene and the vehicle chase but it was super tall. I remember it was moving it had a whole red robe thing with signs that said don't get close. its eyes would look around and every 5 or 6 minutes it would do its iconic roar. it looked so real that my older sister refused to let me go near it. this was years ago so I'm going by memory I can't remember if it did anything else but I do remember thinking it was real and shocked that they tamed a t-rex.

[@MRxMADHATTER]

Ariana Richards who played Lex also played Mindy in "Tremors". You should definately see that. ❤🤍💙

[@BarebonesNetwork-w3s]

I thought the kitchen scene was the best part of this movie. They really kept the suspense going with the way it was filmed. Great film.

[@jonmercano1138]

I think Hammond probably was with his daughter and then he went to the dig site after. That’s how/when he arranged the grandkids to come to the park. There’s unused dialogue that can be found of him arguing the kids need the distraction from the divorce. Animatronic or cgi? Yes. Yes, “Thanks, dad” was just a snide remark Some dinos are just sick. Wasn’t anything significant. •There’s a deleted or at least scripted moment where Ellie and Grant figure out why the trike was sick. They discover gizzard stones and deduce that the poison berries were getting swallowed with them, and since they were kept in the gizzard, they don’t show up in the droppings. I don’t think the initial imprinting on Hammond would’ve been enough to stop the dinos. A moment of pause, maybe, and that’s probably a weak maybe. He’d probably have to spend much more time with them for better results. This actually kinda gets explored in a later sequel. Just fyi if you do watch the sequel as well, a detail I keep seeing people miss is that *the island in the second movie is NOT the same one. It’s not Isla Nublar.* I just wanna make sure you know that! It’s maddening how many people don’t register the explicit dialogue

[@CrownlessKing88]

Technically the Dinos are neither bad nor good. They’re just doing their natural Thangs. Haha

[@aethelgreg]

"Velma, yeah, get up" 32:07 😆

[@jonmercano1138]

If this is for Spielberg then you can do the sequel. He also directed it. Now he doesn’t direct anymore after that, but he does executive produce the rest.

[@horrorandanime1990]

When this movie cameout i got the Burger King T-REX watch a few years later Talia a friend of mine who was a life guard asked to borrow it a few hours later she had to help someone drowning and my watch was broken. She got me a "replacement" but it was herbivore dinosaur.

The sequel, “The Lost World”, is also a book by Michael Creighton. I am in the minority who actually likes “Jurassic Park III” more than the “Lost World: Jurassic Park”. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Saw this when I was three years old. Also, the dinosaurs in this movie were partly cgi and partly robotic

[@aceldamia9114]

it is so frustrating when people agree with Malcolm on anything. Especially when he says "The problem with scientific power you've used is it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge yourselves, so you don't take the responsibility for it. " Take a second to really think about what you are hearing him say. He's completely dismissing the whole idea of a scientific process and advancement. He's saying that everyone has to start over from scratch ANY time they want to do anything. "How old is that?" "150 million years old." "How did you get that info?" "I used proven carbon dating methods developed by many, many people over a significant period of time." "But you didn't invent carbon dating yourself." "You know, you're right. Hold on. Let me go back and re-invent carbon dating. So I'm not 'standing on the shoulders of geniuses.'" I get that you want the feel-good answer about saying man shouldn't meddle with nature or something, but thinking Malcolm is saying anything profound or logical is a farce. His whole character is a farce. good movie, but just don't try to think that anything Malcolm says makes even a bit of sense. It's just new age rah--rah-blah.

"This is where Westworld got the idea." In 1973? Same author, though. So it would make sense he'd lift material from himself.

[@IDLERACER]

😎👍 Since you're taking a deep dive into Spielberg's oeuvre, I just want to warn you that the guy does have at least a couple of turkeys under his belt. I've never seen "Always" (1989) and very few other people have either, due to it getting terrible reviews when it was released. I tried to watch "Hook" (1991) but couldn't get past the first half hour. Somehow, Spielberg actually managed to make Robin Williams completely unlikable, which isn't easy to do. 🦖

Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler are not a couple. According to the novel, Ellie Sattler is Alan Grant's graduate student. So, their relationship is that of a teacher and a student. In the book, Tim asks De. Grant when he and Ellie are going to get married, and Alan explains that she is his student. Tim says that she is a little old to be a student, to which Alan answers that she is his graduate student. That also explains why there was a kid at the dig site. He is the child of one of the other graduate students. When Malcolm admits that he is always on the look-out for a future ex-Mrd. Malcolm, Alan's instincts to protect his student kicked in, which is why he says that he and Ellie are "you know" when Malcolm brings it up.

[@Pridam]

Unfortunately their relationship is platonic only in the novel. The movies made their relationship romantic

[@jeezuschryst]

@TheCkent100 that is the book.. this is the movie. The Koepp script made it very clear they are a couple, but Spielberg edited out much of that dialogue from the theatrical cut to make their relationship status seem more ambiguous.

[@TheCkent100]

@@jeezuschryst Don't get me started on how much Koepp f-ed up Crichton's work. Probably an attempt to bring in more female viewers to a dinosaur movie, which demographics shows appeals to mostly male audiences.
