Summary: Jurassic Park Just Dinosaurs
Review: Jurassic is fun to see but all it seemed to be is dinosaurs to see. The characters weren't developed, which was sad, but it was so entertaining that it really quite made up for it. Umm, for example: Ian Malcom had to have a sequel to show any sign of a character. But it was still good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyable escapist romp
Review: Jurassic Park has come under many criticisms and many adulations since it's release. Main areas of upset over the movie cover everything from lack of plot, not adhering to the original book, being a Crichton movie (his plots all generally involve the same theme - watch WestWorld) and generally being sold on graphics rather than anyhting else.

I'm not going to argue any of these points. They are all valid, and they all have some worth.

However, I do believe that in essence, the movie is well intentioned. The idea was to utilise computer generation graphics to bring us dinosaurs - which it has achieved. The plot is sturdy enough to support this original premise, and the action enables us to watch the slick work without, on occasions, even realising the non-existance of the creatures.

If you can accept that original premise, and realise that you are not going to get 100% accurate dinosaur behaviour (as if we could tell...) then this movie is definitely worth a watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic! Excellent Sci-Fi Movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I can't believe that this film only got ***1/2, it should have gotten *****. It was awesome! Scientists go to an island with genettically re-created dinosaurs and then the power goes out during a tropical storm then everything goes to hell. The special-effects in this movie were the best that I've ever seen. It wasn't as good as the novel by Michael Crichton but it still was very, very close. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes clever plots, great special-effect, great acting, and non-stop action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FASCINATING!
Review: I do not understand why so many people think Jurassic Park doesn't have a story. There are many little nuances in it, but the story to my way of thinking is this: John Hammond cannot open his money-making theme park until his investors can rest more easily, (after the death of one of the employees). So he bribes "experts" in the field of paleontology, to "pen a wee testimonial" , letting everyone know that the park is perfectly safe to be opened to the public. It is interesting to note that Hammond says to his investors' attorney, "In 48 hours, I'll be accepting your apology," but as fate would have it, in less than 48 hours that same attorney is dead by the very dinosaurs that Hammond was so proud to have "created." The story reaches it's climax with the hero, Dr. Grant, and the other principal characters escaping with their lives. Dr. Grant puts a final period to the story when he says, "Mr. Hammond, I've decided not to endorse your park!" This was not the most compelling or believable story ever brought to film, but it was a fascinating and enjoyable story none-the-less. I give it 5 stars because enjoyable escapism is what a movie is for!
