Happy Summer Solstice, everyone! ☀️🍓 The first film of the summer was this one and it absolutely DID NOT disappoint. I knew these films were a big deal, but I honestly didn't expect to love the story this much. Yes, the dinos were iconic (and they honestly held up pretty well visually!) but what really sucked me in was the depth that went into this!This movie wasn't just about action and roars. It's thoughtful, suspenseful, and surprisingly emotional! I blame John Williams for any goosebumps/tears throughout this watch lol. It's what I'd consider a soft sci-fi. Not really about how the science can work, but more about what if!? And I absolutely loved that part of it. I also loved the characters so much. Especially Dr. Chaos (as I was calling him). He reminds me of a more distinguished Dr. Baltar before he gets swept up by a crazy Cylon lol. He somehow manages to be the voice of reason and the guy with the most iconic one-liners. He absolutely stole every scene he was in.All in all, I feel like I just opened the door to something epic. I get why this film became a classic! And I'm really excited to keep going and explore the rest of the Jurassic Park series this summer with you all. Bring on the chaos!Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/m_pAwB_ubgoI watched this on Amazon Prime

I haven't seen it yet but I'm surprised your willing to take these on . They are definitely amazing but they definitely have horror elements in it so at first I thought you tried to avoid when I didn't see it on the list anymore lmao . Nice job toughing through it , they'll get scarier from here on though so I can't wait 😭

i like this movie and appreciate the excellent story telling and character work!

xxbigby

Classic and the John Williams score is perfect for the movie.

The Dingo

If you are a reader, check out the book this is based on. It's a great read!

The music is iconic! Looking forward to watching your reaction Kali!

I wasn't lucky enough to see this movie in the theater, but I did see it the year it came out. My mom's boss at work was some kind of videophile, and he somehow copied this movie and also The Nightmare Before Christmas onto blank VHS tapes to give to us. I remember that blowing my mind as a kid haha. And of course the movie was amazing, we'd never seen anything like it at the time. The animatronics were absolutely mindblowing, and the CGI was the best we'd ever see. To my child eyes, I don't even remember thinking, "That's CGI." It just looked completely natural at the time. We all would have watched the movie a million times just for the dinosaurs, the fact that it was actually a very great movie on top of the dinos just felt like a nice bonus. Unfortunately I do think this is easily the best the franchise has to offer, it's kinda all downhill from here.

For about the twentieth time I will say: Kali, I am *so* excited to watch this with you! 😁 I was one of those kids who grew up loving dinosaurs. I had multiple books, knew many of their names, and was ecstatic when, during one of our few family vacations, we took a side trip to visit Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado. I was nearly 30 years old by the time the technology was finally able to portray realistic dinosaurs on screen, and to say I was blown away would be a vast understatement! I saw the film three times during its first few weeks of release, and I *still* get weepy during the dinosaur reveal scene. Fun fact: my future wife worked for SGI, the company that created much of the hardware and software used to render these early CGI efforts, and I have one of the classic t-shirts: "Silicon Graphics: ...helping to build a better dinosaur!" 🦖

Ah so happy you enjoyed Jurassic Park. Quite a thrilling ride! At the time of its release I think it was the highest-grossing movie ever at the box office. I was keenly interested in how frightened you would be in certain scenes so I could analyze how well you might be able to handle other scary iconic sci-fi in future reactions. This first film was a pretty faithful adaptation of the novel; a lot of the beats are the same – the computer guy tries to steal embryos, the T-Rex and Velociraptors escape, and “chaos” ensues. Probably the biggest change was with the John Hammond character – in the book he is a ruthless money-hungry capitalist, but they changed him to an eccentric grandpa to make it a little more family-friendly. The book was a lot more science-ey, getting deep into the weeds on how they get dinosaur dna from the amber, the immense challenges of trying to be successful, how to deal with all the dangerous species they had “grown”, etc. Conflicts among the characters were definitely more amped up in the book, especially between Hammond and all his “minions”. The characters are all really fleshed out. The T-Rex breaking out of his paddock was just such an iconic scene for the effects at the time, but the impressive thing is they’ve still never equaled or bettered how real that looked since 1993. The trio of leads (Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler) seemed to me an attempt at depicting the Freudian Trio we see so often in movies and TV like the Kirk/Spock/McCoy dynamic in Star Trek which is based on the ego, superego, and id. Not sure they nailed it but I often look for that when a medium features 3 characters. Hope you read the novel someday, I think you would enjoy it. The ending is very different.

kaliwali

the toe tapping in this sent me 😂🤣 I'm not gonna lie, I am nervous about the newer ones because I've heard they can be pretty intense. But I think it'll be a fun ride and maybe I'll get better at jumpscares through these movies lol

Kenny

I love how, over the first half of the movie, everyone treats Ian (aka Dr Chaos 😁) like he's a joke, but he ends up being right about...pretty much everything. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I feel very lucky to have seen it back when it was in theaters in 1993. Easily one of the top 5 movie theater experiences of my life.

Getting around to finally watching this myself for the first time this past week was such a cool experience! Obviously I've seen and heard so much about this movie in pop-culture - the music, some of the quotes ("Clever girl" comes to mind haha), and the iconic Jurassic Park Jeeps; but getting to see it all firsthand was such a fun ride! I love that despite the fact that there are literal dinosaurs walking around, it all feels so.... possible. Very cool seeing the blend of sci-fi with grounded realism. On my first watch, I mostly just got all the fun adventure vibes, but the rewatch with you showed how much heart and emotion, and even character growth this one had! So thank you for that Of course the music was incredible, but you know what, I think there's one thing that upstaged John Williams score - the T-Rex roar LOL. I'm serious, I don't get tired of listening to that thing go off hahaha. All the dino's themselves had so much character too. And the Raptors are totally the Stalkers from TLOU haha

Ian Forbes

Kali, not sure if you noticed some other MCU connections (aside from Samuel L. Jackson). In Thor: Ragnarok, Malcolm played the Grandmaster and Dr. Grant played the stage version of Odin in Loki’s play. Fun reaction. Seeing this in theaters back in ‘93, it was a true spectacle and the CGI holds up amazingly well given it’s over 30 years old. I’m a fan of the first two, so looking forward to the next film. If there’s not time this summer for Spielberg’s creation of the summer blockbuster in 1975’s Jaws, hopefully next summer! 🙂

The Dingo

Only 20? Either Kali is slipping or you can't count if the number is more than your fingers and toes! (joking)

I.Have.No.Band

fun nostalgia trip, 🥹 I remember loving the first two, then I kinda got... sequel fatigue and I can't remember which I watched or not after that, and they all kinda melted into each other in my memory, hope I'll find it in myself to rewatch/rediscover some of them along c': I remember playing a video game adaptation of the second one it was really harder than it needed to be but there was something so thrilling to control a raptor and a T-rex 😭 I think the t-rex stopped running because it's a good sprinter but couldn't hold the car speed..? idk.. can't wait for the second movie c: didn't see it in a long while!

Malcolm Ferguson

One of the (many) things I really like in this movie is the portrayal of John Hammond. I like how he's not just a greedy, money-grubbing egomaniac who only wants to exploit the dinosaurs for profit - he genuinely believes in what he's doing, and wants nothing more than to see the joy on kids' faces when they see their fantasies come to life. It really hammers home the theme that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Phil Stubblefield

LOL! It's so funny that you wrote that, because I was actually going to write "hundredth" before thinking, "Hmm, maybe that's overkill..." But perhaps that *is* the more accurate number! 😆

Danny

This is one of the first movies i remember seeing in the theater. The moment when they first see the dinosaurs and the music swells really was astonishing. I'd never seen anything like it before. Every dinosaur or monster in movies I had seen up to that point was clearly fake but these were breathtaking. Also when they're escaping from the raptor in the ceiling and it jumps at the girl's leg, I gasped and jerked my foot back. My brothers still make fun of me for that >,<

Mister Lou

Dr. Grant having trouble with two "female" ends to his seatbelts, him solving the problem by tying them together is such a brilliant and subtle way of foreshadowing "Life finds a way" and they said all dinosaurs are "female"

McShades

This first Jurassic Park Movie was the best, I was just a kid when I saw it in the theater and CGI was still pretty new, so seeing live dinosaurs for the first time was awesome. The other movies didn't really have that shocking affect of seeing live dinosaurs as I already saw it in the first movie, so the other movies are kind of hit and miss based on the strength of their stories. If you every watch the documentary on Industrial Light and Magic (Special effects shop that George Lucas created) they talk about how Spielberg was going to use models and stop motion to do the Dinosaurs, but ILM was perfecting CGI and one of the programmers talked Spielberg into letting him try to CGI a dinosaur, the demo blew Spielberg away and he let them CGI the movie.

KJ

Spielberg at his best doesn't just make visually captivating movies with interesting plots. Or his effortless ability to build tension and peril in a scene. At his best he has great, fleshed out characters. Apart from the ethical discussions being my favourite part, I love the character arc of Dr Alan Grant. He goes from someone who wants nothing to do with kids to someone who through extraordinary circumstances becomes parental and paternal. He evolves... 😂

Musashi

First Jurassic Park is great, the second is okay/fun. The rest of them are just not it, in my opinion, especially (!) the Jurassic World series

Anna Kyruin

I'm sure everyone is telling you that this first film is a different breed from all the others. I concur, but I'd caution against saying the others are "bad". They're just quite simply a completely different kind of movie, and I think that is very hard for people who were really big fans of the original (that includes me) to accept. I feel like if I say any more on that I'll get into spoiler territory. That being said, loved your reaction! I still remember the awe younger me felt watching the brachiosaur appear on screen for the first time in this film. The animatronics, puppets, and limited CG used in this film are masterful for their time, and it remains rather timeless.... With The Exception Of Every Computer Screen!

Richard

Forgot to mention in my earlier comment how much I enjoyed your reaction to this. I looove the enthusiasm with which you tackle these big-name franchises! The biggest “chaos” of all is human unpredictability. You also can’t predict the behavior of animals, extinct or otherwise. That is a major reason JP was always doomed to fail, not even taking into account the unpredictability of computer system failures. The dinos being sick was also a feature of the original novel - another thing they didn’t account for or predict, that the animals would have trouble adapting to a much different environment than they were used to. Like most, I feel this first movie is the best one but there are plenty of cool bits in the others for you to enjoy. But you can only experience the initial wonder and awe of living dinosaurs once, after that it slightly loses the impact. But I LOVE this first Jurassic Park and it is still one of my 10 favorite novels/books. Looking forward to enjoying the rest with you.

Jurassic park is the most accurate portrayal of working in IT operations: 'Spared no Expense!' ..*Hires ONE IT guy to run an automated attraction theme park full of dinosaurs*

kaliwali

I've heard the books are great!!

kaliwali

That's an awesome memory! Copied VHS tapes were pure childhood gold haha. I can totally imagine how mind-blowing that was as a kid because it was even crazy for me in 2025 at 32 LOL. The CGI and animatronics surprised me so much! The dinos looked incredible!! There really was a tactical, grounded feel to everything in this movie. Adn that fact that it's also just a genuinely great story is something awesome. I've heard mixed things about the rest of the franchise, so I'm going in cautiously but I'm still glad to start here and sit through some of the 'bad' 🤣

kaliwali

Thank you!! I love how excited you were for this one and I can honestly see why! The Dinosaur National Monument sounds incredibleeee and somewhere I'd love to take my kiddo to. I can see why you were so blown away with the CGI in this one because WOW. It held up SO well for the time 😱 Very, very cool that your wife worked at SGI. She must have some awesome stories about her time making these dinos come to life!

kaliwali

LOL I love your take on the trio of leads as a Freudian dynamic. That's a really interesting take and a pretty accurate way to look at their personalities and interactions 👀 I'll definitely keep that in mind going forward! I'd loove to check out the novel someday! I'm still trying to find time for LoTR LOL but maybe one day I can finally read the backlog of books that I've been dying to get to and I'll go ahead and add Jurassic Park to that list!

kaliwali

LOL yesss it's so true. Dr. Chaos started off as the goober and ended up completely right about everything 🤣 "I hate being right" sent me lol.

kaliwali

I was so excited going into this seeing the director and, of course, John Williams! And it didn't disappoint! And yessss the way that it blends wild sci-fi with that grounded realism really made everything feel totally believable, even with actual dinos roaming around lol. The T-Rex roar was legendaryyyyy! I bet seeing this as a kid was an incredible experience LOL and I can see why sooo many were obsessed with it growing up. And I love that they gave the dinos personalities and traits. Your Raptor-to-Stalkers comparison is so true and terrifying haha. I'm glad you loved your first and second view of this one!! I'm excited to see the next ones, but I hear they go downhill from here? But then again, I've heard that before 🤣

kaliwali

Yesss, there were so many MCU connections in this one!! It's always awesome seeing those lol It was probably mind-blowing seeing this in theatres back in '93. Very jealous! And I agree that the CGI holds up sooo well even today. There are films that come out now that don't look as convincing with the CGI so this is definitely a work of art!

kaliwali

And Jaws was on my list originally, so maybe I'll find time to squeeze it in still!

kaliwali

Ahhh that makes sense about why the trex stopped while chasing the car lol. And I'm glad to hear you're excited for the next one!

kaliwali

YES, I loved that about Hammond too! He's not just a rich guy throwing money at stuff to make more. He had a vision and a dream for this island.. And your quote is so accurate 👀

kaliwali

I was blown AWAY by the CGI and animatronics in this one! I can see how it would be an intense experience viewing for the first time never seeing CGI like this before!!

kaliwali

Oo that would be a fun documentary to watch! Thank you for sharing!!

kaliwali

Valid opinion, looking forward to seeing them!

kaliwali

I try to take those opinions as their own opinions and not really carry them with me lol. I went into Matrix 2 and 3 expecting the worst and felt 'bad' for loving them. So I try not to really take those opinions into consideration anymore 🤣👀 But I appreciate hearing people's taste and what they like/love/hate!

kaliwali

LOL I love that.. Poor IT workers 🤣

Richard

That’s me too Phil. Dinosaur nut.

Cory Stanish

WOW I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie (since that first time I saw it at the movies in 1993), and I never made that connection. That said, you know that if they got into a crash at any kind of speed, that half-slipknot he tied the belts into would not have saved him

Marty McGee

Yes this movie was amazing in theaters in the early 90's. Honestly the effects have held up pretty well up to today too. The first T-Rex scene when they're in the SUV's was absolutely terrifying at first watch. I like the theme of nature vs control. And the moral implications of developing technology too quickly. You should read the book if you ever get the chance. It delves further into that depth you were talking about. I like Lost World up to a certain point. You've seen it now so I bet you can guess where it goes off the rails. Starting with 3 they get pretty silly, but they're all still fun watches. Not sure if you follow Ryan George or the Pitch Meeting channel, but when you're done you should check out the Pitch Meetings for these movies. They're epic!

Renato Stojanovic

FYI, When Hammond shouts on the phone while talking to Dr. Grant during Rapter attack, he shouts "Grant!" Not " Dont!" Really enjoyed your reaction. I remember seeing this in theater when it came out. So many jump scares from ppl that were sitting around me scared me more than the actual movie, lol. I imagine you would be one of those ppl.🤣
