Summary: 5 Star Movie With Only 4 Star Features
Review: Ok, Jurassic Park is one of my all time favorite movies to date. The acting is superb and is filled with great action and some hilarious dialogue. The only flaw with the dvd is the disappointments: 1. The Jurassic Park 3 Preview is nothing. No actual shots of the movie. It is basically just telling you that there is actually a JP3 which several people already know. 2. No deleted scenes. This is one of my favorite features in all dvds and I would have loved to see some deleted scenes because I know there were some. For example, when the movie was released in theaters, there was a scene where Ellie (Laura Dern) picked a leaf from a bush while driving in the beach. That scene had a great shot to it, but they left it out when they switched the movie over to video. Why? Other than those 2 reasons, the dvd is a great buy, and I totally recommend it.

Summary: My favorite film
Review: I remember the first day I saw Jurassic Park, the line was very long and the theatre very packed. I ended up seeing my favorite movie of all time. The characters were great, and ofcourse the dinosaurs were the made out of the some of the greatest most unbelievably believable special effects ever created. The T-rex, velociraptors, brachiosaurus', parasaurolophaus', the spitter, triceratops, were all amazing! The film for me is every bit as good as Spielberg's Jaws and better. It's a GRAND motion picture with terrifying creatures, aswell as pleasant creatures. I usually say that every scene in the film is my favorite, that's why it's my favorite movie.

Summary: Good, But Could Have Been Even Better
Review: I have read Michael Crichton's novel and seen the movie several times. The script for the movie includes several plot changes that are unfortunate, in that they leave the story and the characters more shallow, as well as (believe it or not) toning down the potential terror factor. However, if you don't take the movie too seriously, it is quite a thrill ride. It also features one of the best, most magical scenes in any movie: when Sam Neill and Laura Dern first get to the island and first see apatosauruses, viewers get the full impact of their wonder and feel like they're in their shoes. Overall, the dinosaurs usually appear real, and the viewer is again mesmerized when Neill is almost stampeded (because he's mesmerized) by a thundering herd of dinosaurs (iguanodons, I think). "Jurassic Park" also features one of the best climaxes of any movie, when the Tyrannosaurus Rex faces off with three Velociraptors. This could have been a five-star movie, but four stars ain't bad either.

Summary: One of my favorites
Review: I love this movie. I have to say that it's very different from the book, but it's still a smash hit. I own it and have watched it about 1000 times. My favorite part is where Big Rex catches the attacking raptor while he's already in the air because he was going to pounce on the people.

Summary: Very Different From the Book, But a Very Good Movie!
Review: When I first saw this movie, I was only around seven years old. I liked it, but that was mostly because it was "a PG-13." I didn't understand the plot, didn't have any idea that it was based on a book, and didn't appreciate the special effects (I just thought that the dinosaurs were robots with a guy driving them inside). Then I realized it was a book awhile later and then finally decided to read the book just a few weeks ago. After reading it (it was a excellent book, by the way), I wanted to see the movie again to see what changes it had in it. It is very different, but Steven Spielberg makes it very good. This movie is probably one of the most chilling movies that I have ever seen. The special effects still remain amazing (nine years later), they still fully explained the plot (which is brilliant), and is just plain very good. It was definatly focused more on the excitment than how they made the dinosaurs and got the the DNA and all that, but that is ussualy the way movies based on books are and they ussualy are a dissapointment (The Perfect Storm, need I say more?), but this movie is no dissapointment. I mean, who wouldn't be thrilled by the idea of a Tyranasaurus Rex terorizing a present day island? I now would. And another thing that I noticed as that it really doesn't stop once it has gotten going. Like after the first part when the T-Rex attacks the jeep, you think that all the fun is over once the jeep has flown into the tree. But then, there is always the possibility that the jeep may fall out of the tree, right when Tim and Dr. Grant are climbing down it. And that the electrical fence might just turn back on right when the those three are climbing over it. That is a rare thing in movies, they ussauly pause for a long time in between each little three minute thrill seen. So, in the end, this movie was very different from the book, but not dissapointment from the book one bit. I reccomend it to pretty much everybody who is old enough to apprectiate movies.

Summary: Jurassic Park on DVD? And you're stil reading this?
Review: Jurassic Park is one of the biggest movies of all time, brought to us by Steven Spielberg and the incredible wizkids at Industrial Light and Magic. The movie inspired awe in anyone who first saw it in the theatres. this was the first time we have seen a REAL looking dino on the big screen. Richard Attenborough is a rich man who creates an island theme park full of cloned dinosaurs, and is one of the first films to deal with the serious issue of cloning. He invites a team of scientists to sign off on the island, which includes Sam Neill and Laura Dern as paleontologists as well as a mathamatician, played by Jeff Goldblum, and Attenboroughs 2 grandkids. Of course, the park breaks down, and the dinosaurs run amok, creating some of the best scenes in movie history. The special effects are good to this day, especially with the crisp clarity of the DVD picture and OUTSTANDING sound. There is also a load of extras, including trailers for all 3 films.

Summary: AN AWESOME ACTION THRILLER!
Review: Man this movie is intense. It is soo great. At the time, it had to be the best movie of the year. Spielberg really mad a classic out of that movie. Now it is an 8 year old movie. In the movie it shows how scientest fickle around with dino DNA, and frog DNA to create...Dinosaurs. It might seem as if everything is going right at firtst, but the senario of the movie is changed. The big turning point of this flick is when the power shuts down, and the dino's start exscaping. Not good. SO get up and go rent this and you will see that it is a wonderful movie. Also in 1998 ,i think, spielberg brought Jurasic Park back with "The Lost World" (a sequal to Jurasic Park). Now this movie wasn't nearly as awesome as the first. But it still was a good movie. Just the people actually new what they were up against, they were prepared, but in the first they were not as prepared and that is what makes it so intense. So go watch this and enjoy it.
