Based on Michael Crichton's novel about an island amusement park populated by cloned dinosaurs, the film works best as a thrill ride with none of the interesting human dynamics of Spielberg's Jaws. That lapse proves unfortunate, but there's no shortage of raw terror as a rampaging T-rex and nasty raptors try to make fast food out of the cast. The effects are still astonishing (despite the fact that the computer-generated technology has since been improved upon) and at times primeval, such as the sight of a herd of whatever-they-are scampering through a valley. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Lots of funFor those who love the old originals of King Kong, Mighty Joe Young,and Godzilla this one is for you. There are pioneering forays into computer graphics , but the old story telling and adventure is there,not overwhelmed with technology!! Well acted and directed this one is not just for the sci fi folks. My only objection is that there is one or two scenes where God's Name is taken as a curse word. If you mute that you do not lose any of the story and you avoid the only part that I found objectionable. Rating:  - Pretty much over it.Jurassic Park was a huge and successful movie when it was released in 1993 and I just a little kid back then but watching this blockbuster now, well this film has lost its luster and excitment. I really cannot watch this film ever again, it looks so cheap and silly now, Steven Spielberg's directing is overrated even to this day. The only character that is still funny to me is Jeff Goldblum. A lot of people may see this movie as an oldie but goodie but sorry to say I don't feel the same. Rating:  - One heck of a thrill rideWhen I was a kid, I watched "Jaws" with my family. Since then, i have become terrified of sharks and swimming in the ocean. I also watched "Jurassic Park" when I was little with my sister, and my sister has never gotten over her fear of dinosaurs, despite the fact that they're extinct! While the dinos didn't scare me, I couldn't help but be amazed by this movie. Stephen Spielberg created the ultimate thrill ride when he made this movie. In my opinion, almost everything about the film is perfect. Many people ...

Although a science fiction movie, the explanations of DNA are sound enough that students can relate them to what they have learned in class. Rating: - Great to see Dinos get to the big screen.JP doesn't have much in the way of a story. It really didn't need one. Everyone went to see the scary dinos. And Speilberg succeeds yet again, delivering the thrills and chills at a breakneck pace. The story? Genitically engineered dinos. That's the story, basically. If your looking for "Gone With The Wind" with dinos, your looking in the wrong place. Action, action and more action. This is a must have / must see movie. RECOMMENDED!!! |
