Jurassic Park0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This is one of Steven Spielberg's best movies ever. Definitely one of my favorites.
Millionaire John Hammond has designated an island for an amusement park featuring DNA-cloned real dinosaurs. He asks two paleontologists (dinosaur experts) to come visit the park, and to act as consultants for the park. He also invites a mathematician and his two grandchildren to visit it as well. They begin by starting the tour of the park, and of course everything starts going wrong. 3 things happen: an impending hurricane, an engineer who is stealing information for money (and shuts down the entire electrical system), and the dinosaurs start terrorizing the park.
The special effects are amazing, and the dinosaurs are very lifelike and real looking. I was amazed at how real they got the T-Rex to look.
This movie is based on a book by Michael Crichton. It stars: Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and Laura Dern.

Why in the world am I reviewing this film? Everyone on earth has seen it, half of them have reviewed it, why bother? Well, I recently had the opportunity to see Jurassic Park (commercial free!) for the first time in several years. I also had the opportunity to see the film with someone who had never seen it before. That s right, it was Family Movie Night! My son is now old enough that, when his sister is asleep, we can watch movies not centered around animated insects or Winnie the Pooh characters. He can stay up late and watch grown-up movies (the definition of grown-up being decided, of...

When Steven Spielberg s film version of Michael Chrichton s novel Jurassic Park was released back in 1993, Universal Studios seemed to have all the angles covered. Kids were a sure-fire draw to see the new movie, after all. What kid doesn t love dinosaurs? Parents would be dragged in by the kids, of course, but would likely be just as enthralled by the majestic behemoths traipsing across the screen, and perhaps by the big-name cast that rivaled the extinct creatures now making a cinematic return. Universal was onto something, and though the making of Jurassic Park had to wait for the...

I suspect that Jurassic Park was one of those movies that brought people to the theatre simply to gawk at the effects. The sound, imagery and plot were presented into such a way that it made it a holistic event. Brought home to DVD, the movie loses a bit of its luster, although DVD with a home theatre is probably as good as it's going to get. I had this on VHS but hadn't watched it for a very long time (and skipped the second one, The Lost World entirely.) The video transfer of this edition is very nice. I doubt that it's been "remastered" or fiddled with too much, given that the movie was...

Jurassic Park (1993) The special effects in Jurassic Park are absolutely astounding as you watch dinosaurs of all types going through their daily routines, that is, until the computer system shuts down and the meat eaters get out from behind the electrically charged fences to see what man tastes like! Sam Neill and Laura Dern are paleontologists invited by Richard Attenborough to visit his new theme park, Jurassic Park located on a remote Pacific Isle. A mathematician, Jeff Goldblum and a lawyer are also invited. Their task is to evaluate the park before it gets opened to the public. Each of..

Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster based on Michael Crichton's technothriler about cloned dinosaurs running amok on a Costa Rican island, is still an exciting journey of the imagination, even though it's been 11 years since its theatrical release. Although its computer-generated effects have been surpassed over the past decade, Jurassic Park's tale of a misguided science experiment fueled by one man's ambition to create the ultimate theme park still packs a Jaws-like mixture of chills and thrills. As in Crichton's novel, the story revolves around eccentric billionaire John...
