Rating: Summary: A Theme Park Ride Film! Review: This film will wrench your guts out more than a rabid Raptor! Without the character development of Jaws, this film still deserves to become a classic. Here is Spielberg at what he does best; gut wrenching excitement and terror. I'm not a blind fan of Spielberg. 1941 was very poor and Schindler's List was an incredible dissapointment. If that had been made by anyone else it would have got nowhere. I also have this inexplicable hatred of E.T. However, this is one of my favorite films of his, alongside Raiders, Jaws and Duel. You all know the plot, and if you didn't you'd soon pick it up. Dinosaurs reconstructed from DNA samples in amber run amok on Dickie Attenborough's theme park. All star cast includes Sam Neill as a Paeleontologist, Laura Dern as Paeleobotanist and love interest, Jeff Goldblum as wisecracking chaos mathematician, Sam L. Jackson in a small but important role, and (my personal favourite) Bob Peck as the warden, possibly the only believable character in the whole film ("Clever girl...") Perhaps a little gory for the young, I think a 12 certificate would have been more appropriate. However, it is the shear suspense as the dinosaurs stalk children through kitchens, stalk adults through dark tunnels and chase jeeps at sixty miles an hour that will make your heart beat that little bit faster. The DVD is fine though it would have been nice to have a commentary track from Spielberg. I suggest you check your stomach in at the door.
Rating: Summary: A Really Good Movie.... Review: "Jurassic Park" was really everything I thought it was going to be after I saw the trailer. I am very happy that they are going to release "Collectors Editions" of the film. This is the first movie that Ive seen that shows dinosuars as actual animals and not monsters. It faithfully re-creates the Prehistoric Era when dinosuars were alive. What more can I really say? Everything that was in the movie was great, all the actors were great, it is obvious that everyone that worked on it worked really hard. ITS JUST A REALLY GREAT MOVIE. Even though its sequel "The Lost World - Jurassic Park" beat it in action, in over all "Jurassic Park" is a lot better than its sequel.
Rating: Summary: Best Dinosaur film ever to hit the shelves. Review: Very good film on not only Dinosaurs, but also what if humans and these creatures coexisted. Some boring spots, but the animals seemed real, and there was lot's of suspense
Rating: Summary: Why? Review: I think I should begin by stating that I am not a fan of the action film. Though my life has been called "adventurous" by many, and, indeed, I feel it is, action and adventure stories, and by that I mean plots that wholly rely on action and adventure, have never appealed to me. I prefer developed characters and insight and rich themes. Jurassic Park, besides an interesting scientific idea, produced none of these. I saw the film in France. Sitting in the darkened theatre, as the film began, I heard cries from the lobby and hurried footsteps. Immediately I stood, as did others in the audience. Several of us took tentative steps from our seats and began to walk towards the door leading to the lobby, to find out what was happening. At that moment the fire alarm pierced the air. As the T-rex ate the lawyer (the one aspect of the film I liked) the door burst open and several men in black suits and masks ran in, guns firing. A man thirty feet away from me: his body stiffened and then convulsed, as though struck by lightening, and fell limply to the floor. I kneeled down in the semi-darkness and crawled in between seats. There were gun shots that I could tell came from an automatic. On both sides of the screen then, I thought, an adventure is unfolding. And then, a thunderous crash rocked the whole building and threw me out into the aisle. Plaster fell from the ceiling like snowflackes. A few theaters down, I could hear fire crackling. Several of the masked men ran towards the exit at the front of the theatre. One tripped over me. Before he could reach for his gun I leapt onto him and grabbed his shirt collar and threw him into some seats. We grappled for some seconds. The police then rushed in, there were more gunshots, the man with whom I fought suddenly flew off me and landed several feet ahead. I collapsed. Once the building was cleared, I sat down and watched the rest of the film, which was nonsensical and stupid.
Rating: Summary: An all round wonderful movie Review: Jurassic PArk is a great movie and this Collectors Edition does not let it down. It is about a wealthy man who clones dinosaurs, and takes some scientist to pretest the facility then everything goes wrong because of another persons greed. This movie has everything a bit of romance, some scary bits and all adventure.I would recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Not as good as most people think. Review: Good plot, good acting, bad SFX! The speacial effects were average in this movie. They looked a little realistic, but I thought it was odd that the rain was falling through the T-Rex.
Rating: Summary: Ultimate Dinosaur Movie Review: Remember seeing early dinosaur movies? Bad animation, no plot, and terrible acting- the dinosaur movie had made an infamous name for itself in film history. However, when Jurassic Park first came out at the theaters, the name of dinosaur movies was forever salvaged. This movie is nearly perfect in so many aspects- unlike traditional dinosaur movies, its plot is very deep and involved. The entire plot is what would happen if man tried to harness the power of nature, and the tragedy and horror that could result. When Dr. Hammond, an eccentric millionair, invites two notable archeologists, a lawyer, and an offbeat chaos theory expert to his new Dinosaur theme park, no one has any idea what they're in for. At first the idea seems very nice, as the entire group, with the addition of Hammond's grandchildren, begin to explore the park, amazed at the wonderful creatures all around them. Things turn for the worse, though, when a tropical storm blows in, and a gluttonous computer operator at the park tries to steal some dinosaur embryos. In turning off the systems to disable the alarms, the computer guy ends up turning off the power to the electric fences that keep the dinosaurs in their pens. Bad move. The rest is now movie history, as this brilliant and often funny thriller plays out. This is a must have for a movie fan- Jurassic Park is one of Spielberg's best films. The computer animation is revolutionary, one of the best examples of this art in history. The plot and the acting are great too, making this an incredibly strong and well-rounded movie.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful! Review: Jurassic Park is a great, thoughtful, imaginitive, and fun movie. It has a great plot. I remember the super hype in summer 1993 over this movie. It was great to see theatres, twice! I would also reccomend the book. The film is about a wealthy man who starts up a real life dinosaur park. He finds left over dna of the creatures in mosquitos preserved in tree sap. He genetically engineers them and places them in a park. But after he invites a special team to sample the park something goes bad. This movie has great effects and music. Also a wonderful cast including Sam Neil, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Samuel L. Jackson. I love Wayne Knight as the parks trader! Its a real trip. See the equally good sequel The Lost World:Jurassic Park. Rated PG-13 for Violence and Language
Rating: Summary: Spectacle Review: Spielberg creates some genuinely terrifying momnents in this popcorn thriller about dinosaurs brought back to life and running amok on an island. The film is well-paced for tension, and includes a few moments of deadpan humor like the "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" sign on a car mirror when a T. Rex is closing in from behind. This movie is probably too scary for children. As with many Crichton plots, this one is kind of ridiculous if you give it any thought, but it's fun if you like monster movies.
Rating: Summary: Jurassic Park-an exellent movie! Review: Jurassic Park is an exellent movie with an exellent cast. When it hit theaters in 1993 it was an instant hit! Never before had anyone saw such realness in a dinasour movie! IN MY OPINION ITS THE BEST MOVIE OUT!
