Jurassic Park

Pros: Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, dinosaurs!
Cons: Well, I suppose if you don't like dinosaurs....

Why in the world am I reviewing this film? Everyone on earth has seen it, half of them have reviewed it, why bother? Well, I recently had the opportunity to see Jurassic Park (commercial free!) for the first time in several years. I also had ...

Pros: Special Effects
Cons: Script, Acting - except by the dinosaurs

Jurassic Park (1993)

The special effects in Jurassic Park are absolutely astounding as you watch dinosaurs of all types going through their daily routines, that is, until the computer system shuts down and the meat eaters get out from...

Pros: Fast-paced story, great effects, terrific John Williams score.
Cons: None...it's even better than the novel!

Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster based on Michael Crichton's technothriler about cloned dinosaurs running amok on a Costa Rican island, is still an exciting journey of the imagination, even though it's been 11 years since its theatrical ...

Pros: Heart stopping action, great special effects
Cons: Slow first hour, weak ending

The idea of man and dinosaurs co-existing has long been subject of speculation. Few have done it as famously as this 1993 film based on a novel by Michael Crichton. Ultimately, it's a high tech monster movie, but what a fun ride it is. John Hammond ...

Pros: Great effects, clever story, decent acting.
Cons: Doesn't quite grab you on the small screen like it does on the big screen.

When Steven Spielberg’s film version of Michael Chrichton’s novel Jurassic Park was released back in 1993, Universal Studios seemed to have all the angles covered. Kids were a sure-fire draw to see the new movie, after all. What kid ...

Pros: Exciting and visually enjoyable; thought provoking
Cons: Predictable plot; one dimensional characters

I suspect that Jurassic Park was one of those movies that brought people to the theatre simply to gawk at the effects. The sound, imagery and plot were presented into such a way that it made it a holistic event.

Brought home to DVD,...

Pros: Awe-inspiring effects, solid direction
Cons: Overlooked script development, silly dialogue

Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster has an unfortunate role in movie history. I don't mean it's groundbreaking effects or it's massive box office gross. Had Jurassic Park come out in any other year, it might have been able to overcome it's eventual of title...

Pros: Special effects, action, special effects, music, special effects
Cons: They did tinker with the story, to make it a tad less horrifying.

The story: As this is one of the most well-known movies in the last few decades, I will move quickly through this section. Boy digs up dinosaur bones. Boy meets girl, who digs up fossilized prehistoric plants. Scottish multimillionaire flies ...

Pros: Ground breaking special effects
Cons: Not so ground breaking screenplay

Jurassic Park was and still is one of the best movies as far as special effects goes. The thought that this could be true is...

Pros: Entertaining adrenalin rush, special effects, no gratuitous sex or profanity
Cons: Bessie the cow gets eaten, and bad science prevails

I watched this movie with great fascination 7 years ago, after reading the book. I watched it again when it was released in video, and have watched it over, on DVD. Once I realized it was NOT the book, and Crichton's words had slipped into the recesses...

Pros: Great dinosaurs, special effects, drama and suspense.
Cons: The flawed story line, doesn't follow the book, too Speilbergish.

Pros: impressive use of SFX
Cons: abundant use of cliches to make for "scary" moments

Modern storytellers, especially those in Hollywood, are fascinated with dinosaurs. They have always wanted to tell a plausible story where modern man somehow comes into contact with dinosaurs, and "Jurassic Park" is a film of grand designs that fulfils ...

Pros: Good Story
Good Visuals
Good Sound Track
Good Action
Cons: Little scary for young children
