Review of Jurassic Park - The Ultimate Collection (Special Edition) (DVD)

Dr Jones and his magical skull

Advantages: Harrison Ford
Disadvantages: Weak story

The fourth instalment in the Indiana Jones series, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, was released in 2008. This film was directed by Steven Spielberg. This Indiana Jones film is set in 1957 and sees the archaeologist and adventurer, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), having to contend with Soviet agents, led by Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), who are searching for the mystical city of Akator, which is believed to be the mythical resting ...
...Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf), informs Indiana that his colleague, Harold Oxley (John Hurt), has been kidnapped along with Mutt's mother, and Indy's former love, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), the pair resolve to rescue them and return the skull before the Soviets. This could prove difficult especially when Indiana's friend and sidekick, Mac Michale (Ray Winstone), turns out to be working with the Soviets. This is a good film, but the story is a ...

Review of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (DVD)

T REXIFFIC!

Advantages: Some of the best CGI of the 1990's
Disadvantages: some unbelievable twists in the storyline

I went to see Jurrasic Park after reading the book first of all. I had high expectations and in terms of book to film versions I think the film does a very good job. This was one of the first films I saw in digital surround sound. It actually felt as though the velociraptors were chasing me from the back of the cinema! There are some very dodgy bits in the film...the hand in the wiring...the little girl who just happens to know what a unit system ...
...basically is a computer that runs the entire park...not bad for a small child!), The 'don't move...it won't hurt you if you don't move' yeah right!), the explanation of chaos theory... but on the whole this is a visual feast of special effects, great dinosaurs and amazing special effects. There is great use of CGI and considering it was a good few years ago now, the effects have stood the test of time. Of course the best thing in the film and star ...

Review of Jurassic Park (DVD)

65 million years, then four more, in the making

Advantages: Effects are still okay
Disadvantages: but they don't show any development, story is a bit weak, especially the ending. There's only so long you can watch people get chased by raptors.

...night, I decided to watch The Lost World the next night. °°°The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)°°° After the disaster that happened in Jurassic Park, you'd think that would be it with breeding dangerous dinosaurs, but oh no. It turns out there was a Site B, a second island where the dinosaurs were allow to grow and develop for a few months before being moved to Jurassic Park. Aside from one recurring character and a two-minute visit from the kids, ...
...The lawyers of the owner of the island want a sort of photographic inventory drawing up, so a team of experts is sent in to document everything on the island. But it seems that wasn't enough for the lawyers as a separate team is sent in who want to actually transport the dinosaurs. While the photographic team is quiet and respectful, and leaves no trace of their being there, the second group takes a different approach - managing to piss off two t-rexes ...

I can live my dreams and fantasies through these amazing adventures and discoveries led by Indiana Jones himself. And who can forget the the comedic roles of Marcus Brody and Jones' father.
