Jurassic Park

USA 1993, 121 minutes
Dir. Steven Spielberg
Rating: [PG] Contains a severed arm & some people get eaten.
Genres: Science Fiction, Action/Adventure / Animal Amok, Science Slip

Feat. Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Joseph Mazzello, Samuel L. Jackson

Aroview: Richard Attenborough's eccentric billionaire has perfected his tropical island themepark. With cutting edge science; he has revived the dinosaurs! All he has left to do is send through a few experts to test out wether it is "suitable" for general consumption.

While renowned for it's breakthrough special effects. It's the attention to realism that heightens this above and beyond the B sci-fi premise. The exposition and philosophical posturing of Laura Dern and Sam Neill does not detract for a moment. The park, the science, and the creatures are grounded in such a solid reality that we find ourselves ready to believe every exhilarating minute of this. Blockbuster perfection.

5 stars (Exceptional) One of the best 'monster' films ever made, this is visually stunning (the dinosaurs still look great), with a unique premise and some very intense moments. Brilliance from Spielberg. ~Tom H

4 stars (Very Good) Scientists successfully extract dinosaur DNA from preserved prehistoric mosquitoes, clone it, and recreat a variety of dinosaurs to roam around a theme park. Truly convincing use of computer graphics that made it a box-office sensation. ~GenXGirl

3 stars (Good Enough) Great cast of Dern, Attenborough and Peck have little to do. The Monsters were fine therefore we didn't need the kids as well. ~Tubbs

4 stars (Very Good) A must-see; if scientific fantasy e.g. the mosquitoes in amber which provided the DNA are all males - which don't feed; and much more... ~Sandy
