User Review
One of the greatest films ever made.
Rating:
I don't know why I loved this movie so much. Maybe it was the utter
amazement when I first saw the Brachiosaurus eat from a tree. Or maybe it
was my adrenaline rushing when two 12 year old were attacked by
velociraptors. It might possibly be the chills that went down my spine when
the T-Rex first made his terrifying roar. Whatever it was, it made me write
this review.
Allan Grant (Sam Neil) and Ellie (Laura Dern) are two successful
paleontologists who are asked by a rich man John Hammond to come at his park
for a major tour. They agree and are taken to an island where "Jurassic
Park" logos are everywhere. The two paleontologists have no idea what they
are getting themselves into. The first dinosaur to make an apearance is the
Brachiosaurus, which both of them are extrememly amazed by its giant
apearance, and so is the audience. What the two of them don't know is that
there are much more terrifying and carnivorous dinosaurs who are about to
escape and run loose....
Directed by the mighty Steven Speilberg, Jurassic Park relied on more
character development than any other creature-feature. Usually you get
second-rate actors who can't act, getting terrified by monsters that don't
really exist. Jurassic Park was the opposite. It changed the way we looked
at the world, and it will forever. Based on the novel by Micheal Crichton,
Jurassic Park was an amazing movie.
From beginning to end, Jurassic Park bedazzled us with dinosaurs. Dinosaurs
that are EXTINCT. There are a lot of cool cameos and the stars give great
performances. The whole family should watch this movie. Not for the glossy
title, but because of the dinosaurs. I remember being a kid when I first
watched it, and I remember loving this movie so bad. The climax was
excellent, and I am not saying what happens, unlike the sequel to this film
(Jurassic Park 3). A climax-less bad film, that was. But this....this was
magic. And yes, it was a masterpiece.
The magic of this film is what brought me into dinosaurs, too. I had a
"Jurassic Park" marathon today and I watched this movie, and I can still
feel the magic. You will feel the magic too once you see it. I just have
absolutely nothing to say except that Steven Speilberg will put a spell on
you. Even if you don't like creature-features, this movie will entertain
you. Steven Speilberg will take you to places that no one else ever will.
And the "life will find a way" speech is here, ready to make someone feel
that creating dinosaurs that have been extinct for millions of years is a
good thing.
Absolutely needless to say, Jurassic Park was a golden
diamond.
