Summary: Very good but could have been scarier.
Review: Very good movie and though I usually don't care all that much for scary movies I though that Jurassic Park could have been scarier with a lot more scary scenes with the dinosaurs. Sam Neil, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern were great and I thought the girl who played the granddaughter of the owner of the park was good too, I'm not sure what her name is but I think it's Ariana Richards.

Summary: Great Movie.
Review: This is pure entertainment at its best. This was one of the greatest movies to come out of 1993. It had action and the special effects were great. The dinosaurs looked so real, I was really scared when I saw it in movie theatres. If you want a movie you really want to enjoy then this is the movie for you. The next two sequels proved to be far less entertaining and more boring than the original.

Summary: Really A Jurassic Adventure!
Review: What more can be said about Jurassic Park than has already hasn't been said? The movie was phenomenal. When I saw it in the theatre, I was amazed at how real the dinosaurs were. They were real looking and life-like and right in front of me on the screen.The energy of the film was adventurous and who can forget Jeff Goldblums best line "at least when the ride breaks down the Prates don't eat the guests...". Sam Neil and Laura Dern were superbly cast in this film. The kids were charming and right on the money with their reactions. Visually the film is eye candy. The mechanical effects of the creatures and the digital effects of some of the long shots made my mouth drop. The story is again simple but the plot is very obvious. Even Sir Richard Attenburough gives a stellar performance. The DVD is filled with behind the scenes footage of the film and its production. The interviews with Spielberg, the cast and crew are very interesting. The mechanical items and the CGI (Computer Generated Images) and their renderings are incredible. The DVD is a great package to get - the movie alone is worth watched and all the extras are just icing on the cake. Gotta love it!

Summary: The first and best of the series
Review: This first part of the Jurassic Park Trilogy is by far the best. The first part of this movie is all explanation; of how the park works, who the characters are, etc. But I find that to be the most interesting part. It is kind of sci-fi documentary-like. After everyone gets trapped in the park and the dinos attack, the film turns into an action/adventure. It IS exciting, though, and not nearly as predictable as the next two films in the trilogy.
Another good thing about this movie is that the characters are great. Wayne Knight, Sam Jackson and the Australian guide-type guy do great jobs in their roles, and the main stars do at least adequate jobs.
And the special effects are, of course, superb. The thing that keeps me from giving this film 5 stars is the fact that it seems like the book was manipulated and dumbed down in many respects to make this acceptable to the mass audience. There are numerous character differences and changes that seem to have been made solely to attract a female audience (the Grant/Sattler romance angle) and for reasons of political correctness (making the girl the computer whiz, and the boy a little whiny jerk instead of vice versa). Still, this is a fun movie, and great to watch on DVD. There are plenty of interesting special features on the DVD as well. I especially liked the pre-production meetings, where it shows Spielberg being an complete autocratic jerk, with a bunch of "yes men" allowing him to do so. There are numerous times when it loks like Spielberg just wants to tell everyons else to shut up and leave the room. Pretty funny stuff, and sickening in a way. I was disappointed that there are no commentaries, though, which I usually enjoy listening to.

Summary: My favorite movie of all-time.
Review: JURASSIC PARK. What more can be said about this brilliantly made film? Steven Spielberg is a creative genius, and this is the movie to prove it. Paired with the musical composer John Williams, every single moment of this movie leaves a cherished memory for me! From the moving moment when the first dinosaur in the film is shown, history is changed. The awe-inspiring size and gracefulness of the Brachiosaurus leaves the visitors to the park spellbound, and movie audiences in amazement. JURASSIC PARK started a revolution of what we think of dinosaurs today. They were not huge bumbling beasts with pea-sized brains. Actually, some of the dinosaurs were quite beautiful in their own way. Some were incredibly intelligent, too. With the cunning and deadly Velociraptor, audiences were kept on the edge of their seats and wondered what could limit the animals' abilities. The biggest star of the silver screen, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, is the best villain and best redeemed character of any movie. Although he ravages through the park, escaping paddocks and killing visitors, the Rex ultimately saves the characters we really care about in the end from the ravenous raptor's certain attack. The movie teaches people to respect the wild of the natural world and to not play God. "Life will find a way." ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT cinematography, musical score, book adaptation, and creation of realistic dinosaurs for a hard-to-impress generation. A classic.

Summary: Little Park of Horrors
Review: Warning: This movie can be frustrating to watch. The reason for this is that the movie wisely takes a very long time to set everything up for you. You know from alomst the beginning that everything is going to go horribly wrong, and waiting for that to start can make you want to scream. But while waiting, you get to meet the principle players involved, and so when the carnage starts, you are squarely rooting for the humans to win. The special effects in this movie are first-rate, and definitely rasied the bar for all the movies that followed. I found myself in awe while gazing at the beauty of some of the dinosaurs one moment, and sitting on the edge of my seat while staring down a T-Rex the next. The Collector's Edition comes with an extra tape that contains over 60 minutes of additional footage, from the theatrical trailers of the movie to early pre-production meetings. This extra footage is extremely fascinating, and well worth the price this movie costs all on it's own.

One of the staff tries to illegally sell the DNA samples with the result that he loses them in a storm and the dinosaurs manage to breed. Several members of the party are killed whilst the rest manage to escape after some scary adventures.

Summary: Jurassic Park & Spielberg - Best Selling, Best Director??
Review: OK, the devil posessed me at this very point when I'm writing this. But I''ve always felt this way anyhow.... If no one in the world has said this before, may I be the first. Jurassic Park is one hell of a disaster. Those who made this should be eradicated from earth. The biggest turkey in cinema history (and let us not forget the giant pelicans too), if you're buying this because of its achievements in special effects and sounds then count yourself as someone who has no clue at all what cinema is about. A film that is simply a waste of time and talent. As for Spielberg voted as the No.1 director in AFI (?)'s Best Director list, are you kidding??
