Summary: WELL...
Review: This movie contains some of the most laughable dialog in recent memory, as well as some of the most ridiculously bad performances EVER in a movie (the Laura Dern/Richard Attenborough scene over the ice cream is classic). Yet the terrors are great fun, and, though over-the-top with a typical Spielberg flourish, deliver in spades. I particularly love the raptors in the kitchen and of course the T-Rex, whenever he/she appears. But unlike so many of Spielberg's other movies, this one has not held up in terms of watching it over and over -- after two viewings, I am essentially DONE. I think the violence is extreme for kids, so if you are looking for something for the family and have younger kids, wait a few years. The special effects still look terrific, and the basic conceit of dinosaurs somehow being resurrected certainly inspires one with awe; too bad the populace and script surrounding this idea are so often ignored. Since this movie was being completed at the same time Steven was wrapping Schindler's List, which is infinitely more considered, perhaps Steven figured it would still make a gazillion dollars without too much attention to, oh, CHARACTERS or, oh, PLOT. He was right, of course.

Summary: The most amazing dinosaur movie I have ever seen!
Review: I first saw it with my friends in the theaters back in 1993 and I just couldn't believe my eyes when the dinosaurs first appeared. Never before in the whole history of filmmaking did those dinosaurs appear so REAL! And the action was really fast-paced and simply STARTLING! However, there are quite a few things in this movie that I just didn't get at all. The scenes where the jeep fell several feet into thin air with Tim still trapped inside and Lex falling right out of an air vent only to catch herself by her dainty little fingers are kind of far-fetched and unbelievable. A couple of innocent young waifs being shamelessly hurled into incredibly brutal situations is a bit hard to swallow. And the ending where the helicopter flew off into the sunset forever was kind of anti-climactic. Too bad our most impossible fantasy just didn't pull through in the very end.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great visuals, no grey matter
Review: Perhaps it is wrong to judge a movie by the book that inspired it, but in this case it is necessary. I have seen some movie adaptations that stray 'some what' from the original source material but this is ridiculous.

In short, about the only thing the two have in common is the names of the characters and the fact that there are dinosaurs in both of them. The characterizations are all different. The relationships are different. And any minor characters who died in the book lived in the movie, and vice versa.

However the movie is good for what it is, a special effects showcase that highlights the moment when computers completely took over the effects business. It was an evolutionary step that originated with TRON, had it's adolescence in the Abyss and Terminator 2, and came to complete maturity with that Brachiosaur walking in front of Sam Niell and company.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Should be a classic among Sci-fi films
Review: Another triumph for director Stephen Spielberg! Great cinematography and animation make this pure entertainment for the whole family. It does the Michael Crighton book justice even though the film's ending doesn't quite match the conclusion of the novel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THIS IS GENUINE SPIELBERG
Review: Steven Spielberg has done it again. Like it's predecessors Schindler's List and Jaws, Jurassic Park has broken numerous records in film history. Our storyline is a very simple one: a billionaire creates an amusement park with cloned dinosaurs, he invites several people to come view it, then something happens with the locks that keep the dinosaur cages locked. Uh oh! Surprising twists and great computer generated special effects for it's year, Jurassic Park is a film you'll want to experience over and over again.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Action with teeth and claws
Review: I saw this film when it was first released six years ago. The film explores the theme of cloning. Using the DNA of an insect preserved in amber, dinosaurs have been brought back from extinction to populate a theme park. A small group of people get a sneak preview of the theme park (called Jurassic Park), but inevitably things go wrong, the dinosaurs are running wild and the group are running for their lives.

I remember all the hype that came with this movie. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing a dinosaur being used to advertise a product. Pizza Hut were giving away toy dinosaurs with every meal etc. When I was 10 I had an interest in dinosaurs. (I think most kids do at some stage.) I remember the frustration of trying to convince other kids that dinosaurs wern't around at the same time as cavemen, as it was made out in "The Flintstones". I got into an argument about the pronounciation of diplodocus. It was di-plod-ocus, not dip-lo-docus. "Jurassic Park" brought all these memories flooding back.

The film has plenty of action, thrills and chills, but I've heard it's a poor version of the novel. I like Sam Neill's acting, he's been in some good movies. If you are not a picky stickler for logic, this film is good entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS A GREAT MOIVE TO OWN!
Review: I saw this movie when it first came out and loved it ever since. I watch it all the time and would tell anyone who likes or loves dinosaurs like me to get it. It is a got to have classic!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An Average Film.
Review: I remember seeing this film when it was first released in the theaters a few years ago. It was interesting to a degree, but not a classic. The creature effects no doubt were very good, but Jurassic Park is still just an average film.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good movie, but the tape went bad
Review: I bought this edition a few years ago. Now I hear very strong hissing and static on the soundtrack. It almost seems like the tape is degrading or something. It's in a cabinet and not next to anything magnetic or hot or cold. Very weird.
