Summary: Entertaining!
Review: I saw Jurassic Park when it came out in the movie theaters and I liked it though I didn't think it was as scary as eveyone was saying but it was entertaining and had a great cast that includes Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Richard Attenborough. The movie is about a wealthy businessman who creates an island theme park with dinosaurs after some scientists clone dinosaur DNA so he invites some guests that he thinks will be interested in his theme park. The guests are a paleontologist played by Sam Neill and his botonist girlfriend played by Laura Dern and a quirky scientist played by Jeff Goldblum but after showing them around the island an accident happens that makes all the cages open and the dinosaurs are on the loose and a threat to everyone including the businessman's two grandchildren who are visting him. A good movie and recommended to people who like sci-fi/fantasy movies that have tons of action and adventure!

Summary: Mindless "Entertainment"
Review: Having watched this again, many years after the original release, I am no longer as impressed with it as I once was. The story is very lacking. The characters are poorly developed. I found that I cared more about the dinosaurs than the characters. About the only thing this movie is good for these days is as a film-making history lesson, as this was the first time a movie had ever gone so far with CGI. In its time, it pushed the boundaries with special effects, but as technology continues to advance a good story is necessary for it to stand the test of time, and that is where it falls short.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Jurassic Thrill
Review: Even over a decade after its inital release, this movie is still a thrill to watch. It still has kept its suspense and is still freaky and fun to watch. The visual effects are amazing for the time that this was made. Steven Spielberg is a great director. A lot of the scenes are amazing, especially the cup of water rippling, and the raptor looking in the kitchen window. The best scenes are the T-Rex chase and the velociraptors in the building. Although the scientific believability of the movie is iffy, I really don't think that the story is that bad. It's not too in-depth, but enough to keep you interested. The movie draws you in and you feel scared with the characters, and relieved when they finally get off the island. Arguably the best in the series, I really hope they don't kill Jurassic Park with the release of the 4th movie next year. The 3rd movie lacked, and I hope the 4th is better. I highly recommend watching this movie, you'll really enjoy it. Enjoy!!!!!

Summary: Spielberg is a hack (reason #4)
Review: Better watch out! Big dinosaurs gonna eat you up! More childish slapdash from the master of schlock. Ohhhh cool effects dude! The only saving grace I give this entire movie is the scene where fat Newman (Seinfeld) gets sparyed with dino-snot by the lil veloscoraptors (sp?)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Sound, Lousy Video Transfer
Review: I am VERY disappointed with the quality of the video transfer on this 'Collector's Edition.' Yes the sound DTS sound is great, but the poor quality video transfer is just flat-out terrible on my progressive scan television. It's not my hardware - most of the movies I own look terrific in 480p.

Grainy and pixilated, the transfer quality looks more like an Asian VCD knockoff. By far the worst looking in my collection. If you're collecting DTS versions, by all means get it, but be prepared for a less than stellar video performance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Cinematic Mile Stone in Technology and....Imagination
Review: Steven Speilburg has changed us all. He's kept us out the water for nearly 30 years with JAWS, He's helped us make contact with CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, He's taken us on a journey with Indiana Jones to find the ark of the covenunt with RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK,he's introduced us with a friend 300 million lightyears away in E.T. and now he's brought us to a remote island and showed us the most majestic yet terrifing creatures that we could only see in fragments of our imagination with JURASSIC PARK. JURASSIC PARK is probably one of the greatest movies of all time and it's the 7th top grossing box-office hit in movie history. Dinosaurs them selves astound us. Even their fossil remainments haunt us and awe us with their great sizes and shapes of many assortments.

The DVD of Jurassic Park is rather good. With over 75 minutes of behind the scene features and featurettes. But it needs some improvments. It sould have been produced under the DTS sound system rather than DOLBEY DIGITAL. DTS has clearer and crisper sound and the picture has alot more quality. So try to by the DTS standard if you can. Eitherway the dvds are the same just different quallity of sound.

Now you now the story, peolple on Island, park on island, people in park, park has dinosaurs, dinosaurs get out of park, people get chased by dinosaurs, dinosaurs eat a couple of people, and the remaining people get of the island and all the dinosaurs die. Okay? But otherwise than having good visual effects, fun roller coaster plot, and good actors, JURASSIC PARK has a fonominal soundtrack. John Williams has brought us THE JAWS SAGA, STAR WARS SAGA, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, INDIANA JONES TRILOGY, SUPERMAN, JFK, E.T., and of cource the JURASSIC PARK TRILOGY. The themes have that authentic John Williams style with it's exciting and thrilling yet sailient themes. Expessualy the end when the Helicopter flies into the sun set. A slight piano conceirto fades into a majestic and most absolutly beutiful orchestra ensemble then later into the triumphent trumpet/french horn fanfare and the into a mysterious end with a deep euphonium and piano ending . The music is wounderfull and with out John William's tallent for writing motion picture scores it wouldn't have been truly JURASSIC PARK.(while your here on Amazon.com buy the sound track while your at it.)

So, its got amazing special effects, fun plot, great cast, and a monumental soundtrack. This is JURASSIC PARK (hum the themes now.)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A poor excuse of a movie-explains why I waited to see it....
Review: I have always said that the sure sign of a "bad movie" is when you start cheering for the "bad guys". In this poor excuse of a movie, I started hoping against hope that the dinosaurs would eat every human on the island. The special effects are cool; the movie isn't. A highly (and I mean HIGHLY) overated waste of time - do yourself a favor and read the book instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My thoughts about Jurassic Park history.
Review: My thoughts about Jurassic Park were AMAZING!!! Even though it came out in 1993 when I was only 1, I still claim the movie is amazing! In fact it is my favorite movie of all time.
One of the most successful movies in all time is also a movie that changed the way movies were made forever with it's awsome computer animation.
What made me think the movie was so awesome, was the life like dinosaurs. But my favorite part was whith the T-Rex. It was the most amazing thing I had ever saw the first time I saw it. Spielberg really made an awesome movie that time.
From what I think, Jurassic Park was an success, but The Lost World didn't do as good as the firt Jurassic Park. But then there was Jurassic Park111 which was practicly a failure. I mean whith the spinosaurus and somehow it always finds the people. Sort of like Godzilla...sort of.
Also from what I heard, is that there is going to be another Jurassic Park..Jurassic Park4. If there is going to be a Jurassic Park4 then the first thing I want is the T-Rex to be king again. The next thing is John Hammond to be back. And maybe Tim and Lex back also. Then I would like the original music back from Jurassic Park.
I would like the movie to take place on Isla Nublar, I mean that it would be cool to see the visitor center in ruins. And also from what I heard was that John Hammond might die in Jurassic Park4. Then he would pass down Ingen to Tim. But John Hammond can't die.....John Hammond is Jurassic Park..John Hammond dies.....Jurassic Park dies!

Rating: 5 stars
