[@boyaintright3317]

It's hard to overstate the actual impact this had on pop culture at the time. It literally changed the audience expectation of blockbuster cinema going forward.

[@2chaskell]

It also made millions of people think trex vision was actually based on movement lol

[@LDk4816]

@@2chaskellAnd that the dilophosaurus had the ability to spit poison (from the book) and had a neck frill.

[@JeffKelly03]

Absolutely right. This was the first movie I ever saw multiple times in the theater (I was 12 when it came out). Before then it just never occurred to me that I might wanna go see a movie multiple times.

[@WULDORI]

Of course! It was one of the biggest breakthroughs in visual effects history! Before then, dinosaurs were made by stop motion puppets like in King Kong. CGI had never been used in that fashion before. Great Mouse detective used it for the bIg ben gears and T2 used it for the liquid metal scenes, but it was never used for textured skin detail. When we first saw the brachiosaurus lumber across the screen, we were in just as much awe as Grant in seeing a real life dinosaur for the first time…

[@LDk4816]

@@WULDORI Oh yes, I feel this. SO MUCH AWE. Heck, these effects hold up so well. Most of these scenes still give me a sense of awe. The scene with the gallamimus is my second favorite scene after that T-rex busting out and causing havoc.

[@JeffKelly03]

This movie is 30 years old and somehow still has the best animatronic special effects I’ve ever seen. It’s wild how far ahead of its time the movie was from a visual standpoint.

[@midnightmalice4501]

Practical effects don't age nearly as poorly as early CGI. Go back and watch Alien, which was almost 15 years before this, and still looked pretty good. The impressive part is the CGI, which was used for quite a few scenes. Even the T-Rex, the full body scenes are CGI and you can't immediately tell the difference. THAT is friggin impressive for 30 years ago. This movie could have been made yesterday, and the CGI would have been fairly impressive.

[@JustKelso1993]

​@@midnightmalice4501 They were also ingenious with the use of lighting to really sell the CGI in this movie, the problem with newer movies is the lighting. They are almost always too bright to really sell the CGI involved.

[@ghillieassassin8419]

Not to mention that this film almost utilized stop motion for wide angle chase scenes and such. Them choosing cgi and doubling down really did change the film industry.

[@Pochitaman30]

The fact that i cant tell sometimes which is CGI and which is not is still ridiculous to me. Thats how well made this movie is. All these years i thought when the T-rex was biting the tires it was animatronics or a real car. But no, everything on that scene is CG

[@zedbee2736]

Not to mention that they were so limited by what they were using, which was an entirely new form of visual effects, that they were *incredibly* intelligent about how they worked around its limitations. Nowadays CGI is everywhere and nobody respects it, they always see it as the "paintjob" of a movie. Slap some on a bad-looking scene, boom, great movie. Except that's rarely how it actually works. Spielberg knows *exactly* how to mix CGI, lighting, and animatronics to make this movie look incredible

[@springplus300]

"Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" That might just be my favorite little detail of the entire movie

[@musical_lolu4811]

I straight up laughed there amidst the fear😂

[@maryrichardson1318]

I saw this in the theater when it first came out. The ripples in the water were so scary. Because theaters had implemented "surround sound" speakers, not only did you see and hear the T-Rex foot steps, you could feel them as well. The entire theater shook. It was amazing.

[@bookworm598]

Wow that must have been such a cool experience!

[@mzwitty]

I remember this being the only "surround sound" movie at the time. I saw some other movies as a kid while this was still playing in theaters and could hear dinosaurs through the walls!

[@lescobar195]

It's also amazing that Alan and the others didn't hear the T-Rex come inside to attack the raptors in the end.

[@cra0422]

When I saw this movie on opening day with my mother and sister, we were sitting underneath one of the speakers in the theater

[@nitrokid]

I think I was 6 or 7 when I saw this on theater. The CGI was amazing, I thought the dinos were real 😂😂😂 Even when I was a kid I was like, "how did they do that???"

[@wht-rabt-obj]

Notice how there’s absolutely no music during the Rex escape scene? None needed. Perfection.

[@LarrySwishamane]

watching her bend down snapping the last cable up favorite moment of cinematic history. Pun intended, the greatest one of all time. But, since the kids are around iAgree with ya "UTTER PERFECTION! best 7 minutes ever" but when they leave or go to bed....iWish they establish more context to more georgraphy about paddock & the empty moat. but iCant believe spielberg or ILM left those mistakes in there. 💔 1. Consistency about the car door 2. The stage light not only being shot in the background. Buts actually on. 3. the string pulling the jeep over

[@LudusAurea]

There's literally non-stop music in the T rex chase scene unless you mean the visitor center scene.

[@sagesaria]

@@LudusAurea They mean when she first escapes. The "where's the goat" part. It's kind of funny because between Jurassic Park and the first Star Wars, there are two movies with soundtracks composed by John Williams, and the most tense scenes are the ones where none of his music is involved lol

[@Unethical.Dodgson]

T-Rex escaping the fence and attacking the Car: No music. Just suspense. T-Rex returning to attack the gas jeep: No music at first, buildup with a very small amount of suspenseful music, and then the chase itself with the score going crazy. T-Rex attacks Gallimimus: No score. Just the actions speaking for itself. T-Rex attacks Raptors in Visitor Centre: Triumphant music as the Rex saves our heroes from the threat that was built up over the course of the whole movie. Every moment made perfect use of score. There either had to be a score to invoke emotion or none, to provoke a sense of awe.

[@LarrySwishamane]

you ever notice the jeep door or the stage light in the background? @@Unethical.Dodgson

[@sagesaria]

One of the many, many, MANY things I love about this movie, is how much respect Ellie is given as a scientist. She's not a damsel in distress, and there are moments where her field is relevant and she takes action. Even when Ian is hitting on her, he still addresses her as 'Doctor Sattler,' acknowledging her for her brains and her expertise and not JUST her looks.

[@Unethical.Dodgson]

I liked her more in the book, still. She had more dialogue and some of it was just generally delivered at a better time. Not that the movie did her any injustice: She was still great in the movie.

[@damotoneko1500]

That's not all. That's just the respect she's given but lets acknowledge everything she gives and does. 1. She's supportive but realistic. 2. She's got a good sense of humor but also can be a voice of reason. 3. She's not shy of getting dirty as she reaches her arm into literalexcement to get to the bottom of a sick triceratops. 4. She never makes things worse, only time she causes harm the kid still survives and her actions still helped everyone in the story. 5. She's not a politicly driven sexist self insert who's got peta and women on her brain. Out of all of the jurassic movies, Sattler is the best female character period. Strong, smart, has a field of expertice, serves a purpose and is irreplacable.

[@FreakDaMIghet]

I like how, if you pay attention, you can track the T-Rex's movement across the island from her first appearance until the end. I especially enjoy the detail of, when Grant pranks the kids and yells out, the Rex hears him and starts heading in their direction. She then follows them all the way back to the Visitor's Center, arriving just in time to "save" them from the raptors.

[@TheRumChum]

Richard Attenborough was critical for this role and overall movie. I'm actually glad they changed his character from the book to how he is in film. He was just a cheerful kind elderly man.

[@ghillieassassin8419]

Every person in the theater screamed at the same time and literally took their feet up off the theater floor at the same time! everybody was rolling with laughter at the side of what happened! 😂

[@minty_Joe]

I remember seeing this opening night too. It was at an IMAX theater and it was sold out tickets. It...was...LOUD! The place just shook when the T-Rex roared! It was awesome!! There's nothing like watching a new classic movie on a HUGE screen; bigger than your conventional theater sized screens.

[@kristinkirschenmann1163]

It was PACKED and yes, the T-Rex roar did indeed shake the theater sooo good! 😅 We went back there to see Jurassic World when it just for the nostalgia. The T-Rex roar at the end of that got all kinds of clapping, cheering. Growing up with this movie and the WAVE of dinosaur mania it created was so so cool.

The scene with the Triceratops was actually the FIRST Dinosaur scene that was filmed for the entire film. It was a full-size animatronic, created by the masterful team at Stan Winston Studios, and it performed absolutely perfect on pretty much the first try. So that scene was really the one that set the standard that the other Dinosaur scenes in the rest of the film had to follow.

[@afifzahiruddinrohaizan52]

Here's a fun fact: When designing the sound effects of the T-Rex, they originally wanted to go with the classic lion but decided to add and mix more sounds into it to make it more fearsome and tyrannical. They use the sounds of falling redwood trees for the Rex's thundering footsteps. A bit of the aforementioned lion mixed with a crocodile bellow, a whale's blowhole for the breathing, and for its iconic roar, surprisingly, a revamp scream of a baby elephant.

[@skoodledoo]

And the raptor's screams were tortoises mating :D

[@SevenEllen]

Falling redwood trees? I heard it was a sonic boom when a plane breaks the speed of sound.

The ‘meteor’ theory was widely accepted back then & had been since I was a kid in the early 70’s, though the ‘birds are dinosaurs’ theory was relatively new at the time & was just starting to get traction.

Jurassic Park was mostly a groundbreaking film in regards to CGI moreso than practical effects which were still quite impressive. It was the standard for CGI for nearly a decade when LOTR trilogy and Weta took up the mantle.

[@chrisleebowers]

Six minutes. There's only six minutes of CGI. There's only twelve minutes of dinosaurs. This movie is a master class in building suspense because it's like two hours of humans talking about dinos and running from dinos but only a couple minutes of actual dinos Spielberg figured all this out on "Jaws" because the robot shark wouldn't work and he had to figure out how to make it scary when you couldn't see it.

The use of both practical effects along with CGI made it work, the practical effects allowed something for the CG to improve upon by having a real thing to move and graft the CGI onto which made it look and feel more real.

It's "skin" soaked up water like a sponge, so in the rainy scene after a few minutes the extra weight of the water threw off balance of the mechanisms inside it's body and it would stop working. The crew had to beat it with towels to get the water out so they could film again.

The rex was pretty clearly convinced it was not an animal, it was just investigating and figuring out what the SUV was. Its behavior is drastically different when interacting with animals. The entire main road scene is an exhibition in an animal displaying complex behavior beyond simple hunting or eating. It was exploring, creating a territory and perhaps even playing. Once it goes into attack mode it is much different. It is a credit to the movie for making the dinosaur more than a mindless killer, something later movies forgot.

Both the novel AND the movie are excellent. The novel is actually much darker and the characters on the whole are less likeable (also, more of them die) than in the movie.

Girl on the left was correct, electric fences send a small shock to animals to teach them not to approach or touch, they're not meant to incapacitate like a taser is. Also, voltage does have a bearing on the effectiveness of electric items, but it's the amperage that really matters. You can have a million volts running through that fence, but if the amperage is low or not existent, wouldn't even matter... Also, as for Nedry shutting down the security systems on the island, it was meant to cover his tracks. He would leave last minute on the boat for the mainland, those still on the island would be left with no means of comms and with his hope, to be killed off by the dinosaurs.

His plan was to shut down the security systems so he could get to the embryos (and cover his tracks, yes), deliver them to his contact (the guy he speaks with on that Vidnet phone) at the East Dock and then come back to the Visitors Center. He would then turn everything back on and play dumb. The 18 minute window was the amount of time he calculated as needed to deliver the embryos and come back before anyone noticed he was gone.

He had no intent on coming back, Nedry was not a dumb man, he would not turn the fences off with the idea of hopefully getting back before the dinos escaped, thus putting his own life in danger. If he merely wanted to deceive, and it would take him only 18 min to get to the dock and back, he could have done that all in the time he would claim a lunch break.

Hammond even asks "Why the hell would he turn the others off?". It wasn't until they shut down the whole system, later in the movie, that the raptor fences actually went out. Nedry never planned to kill anyone, and leaving on the boat would make no sense to his plan as that would've raised a lot of suspicion on him when the staff eventually found out some embryos were missing (Nedry was part of park's skeleton crew, after all, so he wasn't supposed to leave that day). By coming back and fixing everything, he could defer the blame to any other employee who left on the boat that day, as InGen wouldn't have had any means (CCTV footage, keycard access logs, motion tracking data and so on) to hold him accountable for.

@@pedropassamani - Ya, I get that the novel had this intended, but the movie script differed quite a bit and I personally don't believe it was his intent to come back in the movie. The 18 min was nowhere near enough time to make the trek to the docks and back, especially with the storm which was already in full effect by the time he began making his way to the ship. As for Muldoon, he clearly states when seeing the raptors had escaped their paddock that the system must have shut down all of the fences. I believe that early in the event, when Arnold checked the raptor fences status, it was most likely a delay, either in the system readings or a delay with the fences shutting off, but they definitely were shut off in the film. As for Nedry being discovered, there is a good chance it might not have happened. All non essential personnel were evacuated from the island and while he would be essential, it's easy to come up with a story about why he had to leave and was on the boat. As for the missing embryos, it would be a while, if ever, that they would have discovered them to be gone. Remember, the island would be filled with lose dinosaurs after this incident, it would be hard to conduct a full investigation quickly under the circumstances.

I've read the book and seen the movie, and I like them both individually. The movie is definitely catered to a more wide audience, and the books are just straight-up horrifying; the dinosaurs aren't animals, they're monsters XD (For example, you're in Nedry's perspective as he dies; you feel the fear he has as he's blinded, and the feeling of teeth crushing his head before he dies; and that's not even the most graphic thing that happens at that part 😅 Let's just say that when Grant is telling that kid what would happen to him, it's a callback to the book :])

[@boboboy8189]

i hope they did animation version and make it closer to book

[@foxxtitan7028]

I just correct you on what you said about they are monsters, their not, at least in the 2 first movies, their animals like Grant say to the kids in the tree. True animals. In the novel it's more ambiguous

[@delmarethehybrid9307]

@FOXx TITAN Oh yeah, i meant in the context of the books they're more like monsters :)

[@foxxtitan7028]

@@delmarethehybrid9307 Ok I wasn't sur haha ^^

[@kottadragon]

@@foxxtitan7028 Well, I mean yes and no. The book is more open with the fact that they're more labgrown chimeras that resemble dinosaurs more than true animals, which is probably what he's referring to when he calls them monsters. Both the book and movie versions have their strengths, but a part of me is a bit depressed we'll never see Nedry's death scene with the more close to life version of the dilophosaurus towering over him.

I love every time Stella looks at the camera when they talk about something just before it actually happens The Jurassic Park rides are amazing. Some of them have been rethemed for Jurassic World and I've never been on the newer versions but the classic ones are basically like Pirates of the Caribbean but with dinosaurs around you pretending to attack

The fact that Spielberg directed "Jurassic Park" while making "Schindler's List" is a testament to his creativity and genius. He also teamed with one of my favorite composers John Williams one again for the main score which they worked together for the main score for Spielberg's 1975 "Jaws" film. Williams also composed the score for "Star Wars" which is all 3 movies have a similar unassuming jovial sound despite the thilling and menacing nature of the action. Great reaction ❤

I read the books recently and I definitely recommend them. They are different enough to not be spoiled if you saw the movies first and give you more backstory.

Micheal Crichton is an amazing thriller/sci fi author. If you liked it I recommend: Prey. He also wrote West World.

I was 12 or 13 when the movie came out in theaters I had already read the book a year prior and was excited to see it even if it was a little bit intense but I thought since I had read it before I should be able to handle it. This movie was the 1st experience I had and finding out that a script does not need to match the source material. There are people that make it in the movie that don't in the book there are people that die in the book that are alive in the movie. Those changes ended up having this movie scare the pants off me on that 1st watch. Still an excellent cinematic experience! I will add that there was information that came out on dinosaurs after the movie discounted some of the things that they said about the T. Rex but a movie is going to movie. On the positive side the movie dealt with the scale and scope of what the T. Rex should be better than the book there's action beats in the book that wouldn't make sense unless the T. Rex was significantly larger.

Sphere is my fav after Jurassic Park. The first time I read Sphere was amazing. I was on the edge of my steat till the last page. I actually had to count the pages. There were 6 left, and I had no idea how they could finish the story in 6 pages. Fantastic book. Fantastic movie.

[@tjjordan4207]

This movie was revolutionary back in 1993 and throughout the 90s (and still is to this day). The special and physical effects still hold up (with some exceptions), and no movie has ever been able to replicate this film since its release, not even the sequels. And it just dawned on me that Jurassic Park released just 30 years ago. This was the first film where I got interested in the "behind the scenes" material when I bought the 'Jurassic Park - Adventure Pack' on DVD back in 2005, which contained some really cool stuff to learn about in the making of the trilogy (back when it was just 3 films). Watching the "Making of Jurassic Park" really opened my eyes to the process of what it took to make these films and the dedication and got me interested in seeing what it took to make all of this happen.

[@nicolasbaron4506]

Jurassic Park remains a masterpiece nearly 30 years after release. Could take or leave (mostly leave) the sequels but the original is still an untouchable piece of blockbuster filmmaking.

Seeing this in the theater as an eleven year old, dinosaur obsessed boy was so indescribable! I was enraptured and watched it over and over again for years. Here I am watching you young people see it for the first time and it was so fun 😊❤

[@louhillen8254]

I was lucky enough to see this at the cinema when it first came out - we’d seen nothing like it & it still holds up today. Iconic ❤

[@stevenkaye1625]

I'm ageing myself here, but my parents took me to see this in the cinema when I was 10. I was already obsessed with dinosaurs, but I vividly remember how I felt watching this for the first time -- like I was watching actual magic. I also remember my mum covering my eyes when Mr Arnold's severed arm was on screen 😄

[@Slaptastic1]

If I remember correctly, in the book, Nedry doesn’t get killed in his jeep. The dinosaur rips his intestines out, picks him up by the head and snaps his neck.

[@TheAmocca]

I saw this in theaters as a teenager. It was seriously amazing. That T-rex roar in surround sound - jesus!

[@michaelserot6844]

one of my favorite bits of trivia is that, much like in The Goonies with the pirate ship, the actors weren't shown the Triceratops so that when the cameras rolled, the reactions would be genuine. Also, the real Velociraptor was only about two feet tall, so it really was about the size of a turkey. While filming, scientists discovered a raptor called Utahraptor, which was much closer to the size of the Velociraptors in the film. Also, the Alan Grant in the novel was a barrel-chested man with a beard. He was modeled after paleontologist Robert Bakker. He also liked kids in the book. In the novel, Tim was like 12 and Lex was about 5 or so, and she carried around a baseball glove and ball.

[@tinahastie]

Thanks so much for reacting to this movie! The first time I saw this was on TV (I think I was about 8 years old) and my parents were worried that it was too scary for us kids. My brother and sister were scared, but I remember laughing my head off at the raptors in the kitchen and that frilled lizard dinosaur. By the end of it, my entire family were laughing with me. I remember thinking it was super funny that the dinosaurs were girls as well. 😂 Obviously it's not a comedy, it's just an awesome movie with wonderful memories for me! 🥰 Thank you!

Too scary? I saw the movie when i was 3 and i wasn't scared •_•

@@SPINY55 lol for young kids it can be scary. My parents sheltered us from watching certain movies and I would do the same with my kids. I just happened to find the scary dinosaurs funny, for some reason. I think it may be that they look like they're smiling😁

This movie will always stand the test of time. I can’t even remember how many times I saw it in the theater.

Fun fact: the three Velociraptors in the movie are called the Big One, Kim and Randy, the velociraptors in the kitchen were Kim and Randy, the one that got locked in the freezer was Randy, the bunker scene was The Big One, the one that gets munched on by the Tyrannosaur was The Big One and the one that attacks the Rex at the end was Kim.

[@lee-annecollinsuk]

Watching you guys react to this was amazing - I was 9 when Jurassic Park came out and it was HUGE - absolutely ground breaking animation, technology, special effects; everything about it was incredibly special. The raptors in the kitchen scene is one of the most terrifying scenes ever made. Seeing it in the cinema was something I'll never forget - it was packed and everyone was enthralled. Promotional material was everywhere - I remember there being newspaper pullouts of the story in the week of the release and there were dinosaur toys and everything you can imagine everywhere. It was something like I'll never experience again. Lex made such an impression on my 9 year old self that I wanted to be just like her - I thought she was the coolest thing. Now, I am also a huge fan of the books (and of Michael Crichton in general) but I didn't read the originals until I was in my teens and I was shocked at how different they are. I HIGHLY recommend reading the books - a couple of key differences in the characters are that Hammond was entirely motivated by money, a ruthless capitalist. Grant loved kids. Lex was the younger of the two kids, and Timmy was into both computers and dinosaurs. There's a lot more of the books in The Lost World, although strangely a lot of the first book and the second mashed up, and there's some really cool references to the books in the new JW trilogy as well. The Lost World book was the only sequel Crichton ever wrote, and he wrote it after the first film had been bought and planned. I really hope you go on to do all 6 films - I'm still a huge fan to this day, but nothing will ever beat the books or the first two films. And the fourth actually - as the fandom we had waited YEARS for a rumoured and oft-cancelled fourth film after the flop that was JP3, so it was such a huge moment when it came out, and seeing the park as it was meant to be in film Hammond's vision was so magical. I'm proud to say I've seen all six films in the cinema when they've been released, and if they ever did do more, I would again. Glad you guys loved it :)

It was... a real game changer in cinema visual history (still have my ticket stub in a box somewhere lol). Given they were originally going to have the dinos stop motion, the test footage for that looks fine (you can find it online), but someone at ILM thought why don't we give those computers a go... and boom, CGI as full thing in movies as we know it today is born (properly that is, given there were earlier films that used it in small places not on any level like JP did).

If any of y'all like to read, the book is pretty good. It goes more in-depth with the science and explains some of the things that you had questions about. Plus, like anything else, there are lots of extra scenes in the book that got left out of the movie. I like the book because it expands on the science involved here, and there are various charts and graphs that are extremely helpful to get an idea of the grand scope of things. There are small bits of the book that appear in the 2nd and 3rd movies as well.

[@Chilipotamus]

The scenes in the book when they recalibrate the trackers all around the island and the real numbers start rolling in is soooo good, I'm really bummed they cut that from the theatrical script.
