Pros: a new epoch for special effects
Cons: story and character development, hoary theme
Summary: Jurassic Park (1993) is colossal entertainment in more than one sense of the word. It taps into the nightmarish vision of fetid pre-history in which immense reptilian predators roamed the earth, carnivorous engines born ...

Pros: Incredibly entertaining, even after multiple viewings, brilliant effects, great cast.
Cons: Continuity and common sense are put on hold rather blatantly.

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

Summary: 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 ...
