first trampled all over the global box office, and its sequels may have failed to fully match the standards set by the original. Yet the Jurassic Park Trilogy: Ultimate Edition still brings together a wildly entertaining trio of films, in a very welcome DVD collection. The basics by now are well known. Eccentric billionaire John Hammond employs scientists to bring dinosaurs back to life, with fairly impressive results. Not everything goes to plan, though, and when his dinosaur-ravaged theme park eventually goes amok in the original Jurassic Park, it's a proper blockbuster rollercoaster ride, whose influence is still being felt in big budget Hollywood movies today. The Lost World moves the action to Site B, a mysterious location where much of the behind-the-scenes work was done for the creation of the original theme park. That makes it extra dangerous, and again, is a fine excuse for some excellent set pieces. It's arguably the weakest of the three films, and it's certainly the flabbiest, but it still entertains, and entertains well. Spielberg handed the director's chair over to Jumanji helmer Joe Johnston for the third film, and it proved a wise decision. Johnston keeps his running time brief, cutting out much of the back-story to focus on the lizard-based action. And save for a fairly sudden finale, he delivers the trademark Jurassic Park tension and rampaging action in spades. In short, the Jurassic Park Trilogy: Ultimate Edition is a fitting testament to a trio of blockbuster movies, that are at worst entertaining, and at best, rip-roaring, high concept, big-budget movie making of real quality. Recommended.--Simon Brew
Advantages: A ground-breaking, earth shattering dinosaur filled adventure!!! Disadvantages: None that I can think of... It's THAT good!!!
...have seen anything quite like Jurassic Park before.
This time, they were right.
I have to say I was completely and utterly blown away by Jurassic Park the first time I saw it in the cinema. It was packed full of the sort of thrills that you would expect from a Steven Spielberg film. The man certainly knows his stuff and appears to have the ability of having the entire audience on the edge of it's seat - or maybe even under it - without even trying!
... ...park for the public - Jurassic Park.
However, the problem is he needs to get endorsement from several reputable people - namely dinosaur expert, Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), palaeobotanist, Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician and chaos theorist, Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). Hammond has grudgingly allowed his lawyer to be present too - so that he can show off his work and discover the full financial potential of this amazing place.

°°°Jurassic Park (1993)°°°
The basic premise of this movie is an island full of dinosaurs; I imagine that most people know that one way or another. The island is built like a theme park, and we (the audience) are shown around part of the park in the form of a tour, including how supposedly they bread dinosaurs from blood found ... ...disk 1°°°
~~~The Making of Jurassic Park - hosted by James Earl Jones
A 50-minute documentary about the making of Jurassic Park. JEJ explains how Spielberg wanted to create a movie that wasn't full of movie monsters, but instead realistic, credible, dinosaurs. The show also tries to justify the technique used in the movie to create the dinosaurs from blood in mosquitoes. There is a long segment about the making of full size dinosaur models, and ...

...huge fan of the first Jurassic Park film, and always thought it could never be beaten in terms of its predecessors Jurassic Park 2 and 3. For me Jurassic Park signified what Steven Spielberg was always about, a brilliant director. Sure the story isn't an academy award criteria film, but the special effects, realism and guts to make a big blockbuster film certainly paid off. This review is on the 1993, sci -fi smash hit Jurassic Park, directed By ... ...with him. The origins of Jurassic Park go back to Michael Crichton, novel of the same name. Spielberg always thought of the books concept and idea as brilliant and wanted to bring it to the big screen.
The film was a huge box office success grossing well over $915 million worldwide.
The Plot:
Well yes, Jurassic Park is about Dinosaurs; however it's set in the modern world and thus attracts more drama, more excitement. John Hammond, the CEO of ...

Actor(s): Richard Attenborough, Sam Neill, Bob Peck, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern
Director(s): Steven Spielberg
Genre: Action & Adventure
Classification: Parental Guidance
Production Year: 1993
Running Time: 2 hours 1 minute
Video Category: Feature Film
Plot: Steven Spielberg directed this blockbuster thriller based on the popular book by Michael Crichton. Millionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) asks two dinosaur experts (Laura Dern and Sam Neill) to act as consultants on his entrepreneurial endeavor--an amusement park with DNA-cloned live dinosaurs as the main attraction. The paleontologists, along with a mathematician (Jeff Goldblum) and Hammond's two grandchildren, takes a run-through tour of the park. But soon the joyride turns to terror when an impending hurricane, an unscrupulous engineer (Wayne Knight), and the rebelling dinosaurs begin to destroy the park. Spielberg considered the most popular star of the film to be a computer-generated Tyrannosaurus rex. The special effects in general are spectacular. As Hollywood's preeminent director, Spielberg was used as a kind of financial savior for Universal Studios, which was hurting economically prior to the dinosaurian venture. Spielberg made a deal with Universal--his dream project, SCHINDLER'S LIST, would be green-lighted if he agreed to make JURASSIC PARK for the studio first. By the time SCHINDLER'S LIST premiered in December 1993, JURASSIC PARK, which had been released six months earlier, had broken E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL's worldwide box-office record.
