Summary: All Dinos All the Time
Review: Quixotic, white-haired Scottish billionaire clones dinosaurs and populates island with them. Newman, his obese computer wiz, attempts to embezzle dinosaurs and in the process royally shags everyone over by completely derailing the security system which keeps the dinosaurs at bay, just before he is himself eaten slow and good by a newly-liberated dinosaur. Dinosaurs run amok. Dinosaurs continue to run amok. Further amok running on the part of dinosaurs. What's not to like?

Summary: A satisfying thriller directed by Steven Spielberg
Review: In 1993, the year that Steven Spielberg received the Best Director Oscar for Schindler's List, Steven Speilberg made another classic that would goon to have two more sequels: Jurassic Park. Jurrasic Park is a great thriller about several scientists who find D.N.A and use it to create dinosaurs. They invite several doctors, physicians, etc. to test them out but when the dinosaurs break out, the humans will become their prey. And as one by one the people are swallowed and torn to pieces, the remaining must find a way to get out...before they get eaten. Jurassic Park has amazing special effects and an all star cast including Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Samuel L. Jackson. It's not very bloody and basically anyone over the age of 10 can watch it. It's defintetely a classic and is much better than its two sequels. I recommend it highly.

Summary: A Solid Action Movie/Morality Tale
Review: "Jurassic Park" is the story of man's arrogance come back to haunt him. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) is a wealthy man who has created living dinosaurs via cloning. He has established a preserve, Jurassic Park, on an island off the coast of Costa Rica where he hopes to attract paying customers. He brings in a group of scientists to examine and critique his establishment only to have things go horribly wrong.As I stated early, "Jurassic Park" is a movie which attempts to show the supposed arrogance that mankind has when dealing with the forces of nature. One of the main underlying themes of the movie is brought up by Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and is that nature is unpredictable and chaotic. Dr. Malcolm is a mathematician who specializes in chaos theory, which is basically the study of infinite possibilities. Not only does "Jurassic Park" supply a valid moral but it also entertains. Most of the movie is the trapped scientists, along with Hammond and his two grandchildren, trying to escape the marauding dinosaurs, especially the overly intelligent Velociraptor. Herein lies the only problem I have with "Jurassic Park". Too much of the dinosaurs' behavior in the movie is presented as fact when in reality we know very little about dinosaur behavior. Now, I realize that when you are supposedly showing real dinosaurs, theory goes out the window but you should keep your pronouncements of fact to a minimum so as not to give a false impression. "Jurassic Park" almost completely ignored this. Other than that though, "Jurassic Park" is the rare combination of entertaining action and solid underlying theme that is too often missing from Hollywood films. Perhaps it takes a Steven Spielberg to get something like this prodouced in Hollywood any more but so long as he keeps making them, I'll keep watching them.

Summary: Dino-Mite!
Review: Scientists have played the role of God and recreated dinosaurs with old fossils. Too bad they couldn't do something more resourceful by finding cures to diseases. Man! Oh well, the most brilliant people in the country flock to Jurassic Park to be the first to walk through the park. Everything seems fine and dandy at first, but a big, fat jerk tries to steal D.N.A. samples to sell it to a smuggler. He ruins everything because he's not in shape and the dinosaurs break out of their quadrants. A Tyrannosaurus Rex eats a guy off of a toilet, chases a speeding jeep, and then eats other dinosaurs/animals. What's the matter kid? You don't like lamb chops? Little Timmy is smarter than the adults. Alan Grant doesn't like children, I can see why. Ian Malcolm talks funny and he looks like my friend. Too bad they didn't use Arnold Schwarzenegger to save the day. Can you imagine? However, Steven Spielberg did a fine job of directing and fans won't be disappointed.

Summary: One of the classic films ever made!
Review: The film which is based on one of Michael Crichton's great books. The movie shares the same concept and characters but more scenes were added to the film and some scenes deleted. But the film's plot smoothes as easy as [poop] through a goose. Alan Grant is played by the great Sam Neill, Ellie Sattler is played Laura Dern, Richard Attenburg plays the owner of Jurassic Park, and Ian Malcolm is played by Jeff Goldblum. An original storyline got many butts into the seats of the theater which got Speilberg's film to be his highest grossing film to date(not counting the re-release of E.T.'s money in theaters). Critically acclaimed by critics and people who have seen this great film. This film is a work of Speilburgian genius in his earlier films such as E.T. and Gremlins. The next sequel was horribly bad and the next one was A-OK and the forth in the series has been green-lighted by Universal Studios which means more menacing dinosaurs on the loose.

Summary: Still An Awesome Movie!!!!
Review: If you haven't seen it by now, why hesitate any longer?! Get this movie on VHS or DVD and experience the original motion picture that started it all, and set the standard for all dinosaur animation to follow it. There are so many good scenes that will capture your imagination through action, suspense and awe.
The film is based on the book by Michael Crichton and it follows his story-line pretty well. Using of course much less technical detail, but enough to give the viewer a bit of an understanding. Illustrating the same idea of how dangerous and drastic biotechnology can be when developed with a greedy motivation. Okay, okay I know. What happens in Jurassic Park is taking it to the extreme, but it still makes an exciting movie, nothing else is like it. Jurassic Park is just one of those memorable movies that you'll never forget.

Summary: The Epic Movie which I Love
Review: A few movies I've seen in my short time on earth, I call them "movie epics." Those that top that list are Men In Black, Titanic, and Twister. But the movie that easily surpasses those three films is the epic of all major movie epics, Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. The plot is known to almost everyone. A brilliant scientist, John Hammond, discovers a process that is able to bring dinosaurs back to life, and succeeds in doing so. He soon has a giant setup on a secluded island, where he plans to begin a sort of dinosaur park. Hammond invites a group of scientists, archeologists, and his two grandchildren to be the first ones to experience Jurassic Park, but when a scientist who works with the park screws something up, the dinosaurs are let free. And everyone must fight for their lives. Jurassic Park is the truest thrill ride you can get out of a movie. Although it takes an hour to set everything up, the second hour is when the action begins and barely lets down. The story by Michael Crichton, from beginning to end, is a well thought out and exciting story. The story was initiated very very well by director The acting is brilliant. With performances from Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenburg, Wayne Knight, Samuel L. Jackson, Joseph Mazzello, and Ariana Richards. All performances were right on the mark. I remember being a little kid, and actually looking up to Sam Neill's characters, having a crush on Laura Dern's, and relating to Joseph Mazello's and Ariana Richard's. And the special effects. Never had, or have I been so convinced. They still seem to surpass today's standards. The dinosaurs looked so incredibly real. Whether they were CGI or animatronics. Very awesome. The DVD presentation is a mentionable one. The picture and audio transfers are amazing. I actually found myself yelling at the T-Rex for making so much noise. There are some nice supplements. We get plenty of info on the animatronics and EFX of the movie. There's a behind the scenes deal, and a neat dino encyclopedia complete with sound effects. The menus for the dvd are neat too. Jurassic Park was absolute fun as a kid, but now, as a 17 year old, I'm able to laugh at the grown up jokes and enjoy the actual piece of cinema from the viewpoints of looking at acting and directing. Yet, I still find myself getting hyped up for any scene dealing with the T-Rex or raptors. Always will.

Summary: A MUST FOR EVERY DVD COLLECTION
Review: A great demo DVD for when your friends come over. This movie has a great plot and great action. I can remember seeing this movie in the theater. I had already read the book, but I was still squirming and jumping in my seat. I got the DTS version since my receiver handles DTS. The disc does come with a Dolby Stereo mix so that you can listen through your TV if you need to. The sound is just crystal clear and you get the feeling that the wind is really blowing through your room, or that it's raining.
