Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite movie
Review: I'll be honest, this is my favorite movie ever. But I am somewhat biased, I've always loved dinosaurs. But this movie, WOW! Awesome fx, to say the very least. I read the novel, and although there are many scenes from the novel I wish had been put in the movie, I still loved this movie. I mean it had a good plot with strong, well developed characters. I definately recommend this movie to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must have have for any any film buff
Review: Jurassic Park is a very original film. It was the first of it's kind, followed by many poor imitations (uch as greed and 21 after Who Wants To be A Millionair?) The special effects are incredibe. You will believe the dinosours are in the same world as these people. Evan though this fil is fiction Spielberg maneges to bring a realism to it that will make you belive dinosours exist and can be created through Dna. At the time I'm writing this, the dvd has not yet been released but of the special features listed I can tell this will be an incredible dvd. We all know them movies great. When there is a great movie it's always fun to watch behind the scenes stuff which this is packed with. It also has DTS sound, which is Digital Theater Sound. It will be incredible. You'll here dinos roaring from behind you, from infront of you. I think you'll want to pause this film and lock your doors. Everyone preorder this dvd today..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Astonishing, but a second part!
Review: This movie was expected to be filmed right after the end titles of Jurassic Park. The subject was so good that there was no way that Spielberg would let the oportunity to go away. Even the book, by Michael Crichton, was written after the first movie in order to have the storyline for this follow up. The story is a little weak but the special effects are almost as good as in Jurassic Park (due to, I think, the much less time they had to prepare this, compared to the first). For those who have seen J.P. and have big expectations for these movie, hold on a little bit and yoú'll enjoy it very much. For those who just want to see a good action/family movie, its an excellent choice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A thrill ride for all ages!
Review: This movie gets better and better everytime I see it. The film paves the way for future summer blockbusters introducing the movie going audiences with state of the art sound and special effects. Steven Spielberg is a genius, and this film will be remembered for a long time!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: State of the Art Graphics and Sound
Review: I first saw it in theater and it blew me away! The computer generated images were so realistic that the dino were virtually alive! The movie was the first to bring DTS to the big screen. I am sure the DTS track on this DVD will rock! There is a collector edition of the same movie on DVD with extras. But I am going to order this DTS version to get the sound in lieu of the extras. There is a sequel to this movie called "Lost Word" on DVD in both DTS and Collector Edition. Personally I don't like the sequel as its story and graphics are no way near the first movie. This DTS DVD has one of the best soundtrack to show case your home theater system. I am sure there will be more Collector Edition of this movie left on store shelves than the DTS version!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spielberg goes pre-historic!
Review: Michael Crichton's novel gets the Spielberg treatment, doing for dinosaurs what Jaws did for sharks. Sam Neil, in his good guy persona (a la Dead Calm, not Event Horizon!), and Bruce's daughter Laura Dern (Nic Cage's wife in David Lynch's Wild at Heart) play the husband and wife paleontologist team invited to view a monumental advancement in amusement park technology by billionaire oddball Richard Attenborough (Ghandi director who failed in his Great Escape years earlier). Jeff Goldblum (The Fly and that Pilsten Hols /Apple advertiser) makes another canny mega-movie appearance (remember Independence Day?) as a chaos mathematician also along for the tour. Samuel L. Jackson is seriously wasted as a lowly computer technician - his 'action' career took off over the next three years with the triple whammy of Pulp Fiction, Die Hard: With a Vengeance, and The Long Kiss Goodnight. Throw in Dickie's grandkids, Bob Peck (Slipstream) as a big game hunter, and a nerdy insurance/accountant type and you've got plenty of fodder for the real stars of the movie - the animatronic and Silicon Graphics generated dinosaurs! Most full body shots are computer generated, most body part shots are animatronic - who cares when the effects are so gobsmacking and seamlessly integrated.

There are plenty of holes to pick in the plot if you want to get scientific, but that's not what this film is about. It's a terrific rollercoaster ride of a film that all the family (except the smallest maybe) can hold hands together to watch. One point that many argue is the velociraptors were only six-foot long and half the height of humans - Spielberg obviously wanted more dramatic impetus. Strangely enough, during filming scientists uncovered evidence of a 10-foot-tall variety, now named Utahraptors - so how's that for a bit of Spielberg magic?

The soon to be released DVD edition is a Universal Collector's Series (like Dragonheart, End of Days, Fast Times at Ridgemount High, Conan the Barbarian, and many a Hitchcock classic) and Universal rarely puts a foot wrong with these specials. Expect a first class transfer -especially since it's taken Spielberg long enough to approve the release, and maybe throw in some trailers in the Universal showcase or recommendations sections, and this should be one memorable monster movie release!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Movie of All Time
Review: This movie is spieldbergs greatest masterpiece. While Schindlers List may be his best movie on story, this is far better. The story is very simple and with a movie about dinosaurs rampaging how complex could it be in the first place? The effect may not be as overwhelming on the small screen, but considering the power of this movie it shouldnt take long before you are engulfed in it. This is in no means a classic based on deep and riveting story line like the above mentioned schindlers list. It is more of a classic because of the extremely high entertainment factor based of effects, and the fear that is conveyed from the actors to you. I remember when this first came out I was about 9 and I saw it 24 times in the movies(seriously), and it still hasn't lost any of it's magic.
