Summary: "No expense spared..."
Review: Wealthy entrepreneur John Hammond (an excellent Richard Attenborough) secretly builds an all new type of safari park on a remote tropical island. His scientists managed to raise dinosaurs back from the dead, and he has a park full of them when a nervous lawyer (Martin Ferrero) and two archeologists (Sam Neill and Laura Dern) come to check the place out, courtesy of Mr. Hammond, along with Hammond's grandchildren, Lex and Timmy (Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazello), and a wierd (but wonderful) mathematician (Jeff Goldblum). However, when a weak link in Hammonds work chain, represented by Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight), schemes just a little too far, all hell breaks loose.A suspense filled, action packed and charged atmosphere throughout, which continues to impress. Near perfect casting and screenplay make sure the action has a meaning, and, in this film, the division between reality and fiction becomes almost as thin as in the novel. Oustanding. The dinosaurs aren't half bad, either, with effects wizard Denis Muren A.S.C (of Star Wars fame) among others on the team. A marvel of cinema and a key part of flick history.

Summary: The Invasion
Review: This is a spectacular movie! At the beginning,you'll learn about mosquitos and amber,then you'll see lots of dinosaurs such as Triceratops,Tyrannosaurus Rex,and Velociraptor,but it's a bit scary,so make sure you're not too below eight years old.

Summary: DVD was made for this movie
Review: Jurrasic Park was one of the greatest theater going experiences of my 17 years on this earth and watching it on video just didn't do it justice. Luckily Spielberg was nice enough to release JP on DVD and he didn't hold back at all. The transfer is top notch and the sound is simply amazing. This is as close as you'll get to the cinema experience without building a theater in your house.

Summary: Finally!
Review: To finally own the DVD version of this wondrous movie is cinema nirvana. As might be expected, the DVD format has added something the VHS version could never match, the wonderful DVD picture resolution, and the digital soundtrack. Attempting to add just another movie review would be facetious. What does stand out, other than the fact that the movie is even greater in the DVD format, is the wonderful bonus material that comes on the disk, especially the featurette on how it was made. When I first saw this movie I didn't have to suspend belief to watch it. It seemed like real life. That's what Spielberg wanted and that is what I gave him. Little did I know how it was accomplished, and until I watched "The Making Of Jurassic Park" on this disk, I didn't fully appreciate just how much of a breathrough this movie was. It just literally boggles the mind how much had to be done, much of it new and totally untried, to finally get this movie "in the can". I sat through "The Making..." for over an hour, totally engrossed in the logistics involved. To see the blending of stop action and computer generated images, and how it was done so seamlessly was a real mind-blower. To realize just how many people it took to put all this together, and how easy it all looked, almost upstaged the movie itself. If you are new to the DVD version of this movie, I would strongly urge you to watch "The Making Of Jurassic Park" first. Now that I have seen both it and the actual movie, I wish I had done it that way. Now I have to go back and watch the movie again, which I had (of course) planned to do many times anyway. Finally the DVD! It is very well worth the wait!

Summary: Great disc, though...
Review: Could have used a commentary track or two. You can tell when studios really are behind a title on DVD or not. Looks and sounds great though. Glad to have it on DVD although the more you watch it, the more Laura Dern, for all her acting ability and looks, gets annoying. I mean, did they purposely give her the worst lines in the film (i.e., the non-screaming lines, that is)?

Summary: Dinosaurs steal the show!
Review: I'm a big Steven Spielberg fan and I really like Jurrasic Park,but the dinosaurs definately upstage the human actors,in my opinion.Not that the actors don't do a good job,but it was amazing to just sit there and watch those dinosaurs.CGI effects,while extremely common now,weren't used as often before this film came out,(some films that had used them extensively were The Abyss,and Terminator 2)and the dinosaurs looked unbelievably real.(at least as far as I know,I never actually saw a real dinosaur!)Overall,this movie is very entertaining,(and better than it's sequal The Lost World)and it's got a good John Williams score,and most people would probably enjoy it.(although there probably aren't a lot of people who haven't seen it!)

Summary: Falls apart halfway through
Review: Its a great, well thought out, intelligent, fairly accurate (well, almost) scientific movie for the first hour...then the T-Rex comes out. All of a sudden every intelligent thing that was building in the first half is thrown out the window, and all we see for an hour are people running from dinosaurs. It's still a good movie and with some spectacular effects, but overall it seems to be lacking something. I understand this movie was meant to entertain, but the story starts out like Einstein and ends up like Gomer Pyle. The DVD transfer is OK, like others noted the flesh tones are inconsistent from scene to scene. All in all, JP was one of the better movies of the 90's (for what it's worth) and like Spielberg's other man vs. animal flick, Jaws, everyone's gotta see it at once. Lots of neat extras on the DVD as well!

Summary: format change
Review: this was a decent transfer and all but my main question is, why was the laserdisc and video that was released in '94 both 2.35:1 BUT the DVD version is 1.85:1?? I know that Lost World was filmed 1.85:1 and was released on video as such.

Summary: one word- WOW!
Review: I destinctly remember going to the theater and seeing this movie and going "wow". There are very few movies that make me do this and this is definatly one of them. Some of the scenes are sooo tense. for example I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief after the car gets chased by the t-rex every time i see it. This movie is one of Steven Spielburgs most fun movies and you are making a huge mistake if you dont see it.
