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 ...

...stumbled across was the three Jurassic Park DVD. I'd last seen the first one several years ago, so that's where I started.
°°°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 ...

...long to review this film. Jurassic Park has been my favourite film ever since the first time i saw it! As far as i'm concerned nothing comes close to it in terms of my taste in movies. Everything about this film grabs me, enthrawls me, sucks me in and totally fills my heart with adventure!

Advantages: read opp Disadvantages: read opp
...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 Steven ...

“Ah, yes, Dickie, old chap, got a bit of project you might be interested in, old man … not, it’s not a follow up to Gandhi and no you don’t have to play a spiv … what’s that, old chap? … well, Spielberg’s involved and we’ve got a couple of decent young actors up for it, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum. Splendid, splendid.

Advantages: great 'making of', decent extras, action Disadvantages: no commentary
...the first time they saw Jurassic Park. It was the first movie that really exploited CGI effects to the maximum by creating living breathing creatures on screen.
Add to that a really good story and some very tense moments and it's easy to see why this is one of the biggest films of all time.
For those who haven't seen it (and there can't be many) I'll give a brief summary. On an island in Hawaii a millionaire has created a safari park where ...

Advantages: Mightily impressive special effects Disadvantages: Weak story, screenplay, acting
On a recent visit to the cinema, I noticed a poster for 'Jurassic Park III' which will be released in the UK this summer. I thought now was as good a time as any to voice my opinions on its predecessors 'Jurassic Park' and 'The Lost World', especially as my assessment of the two films is different to virtually every other reviewer!
The summer of 1993 - I remember it well. The hype machine was in overdrive. Word of mouth was ecstatic. The nation ...

...my money as good as Jurassic Park if not better. There, I’ve said it, let the flaming begin.
I settled down last night for a relaxed night with a take away, a bottle of wine and a no-brainer dvd to watch, my girlfriend picked The Lost World, and who am I to argue – it is Spielberg after all. Down went the lights up went the surround sound and back we settled to re-watch this movie.
A quick synopsis – After the events of Jurassic ...

Advantages: Cracking adventure with superb SFX that still holds up today Disadvantages: Not enough dinosuars!!!
With Jurassic Park 3 being released soon I thought I would dust off my JP DVD (well, I say dust off, but it’s not that old!) and watch it again.
Quite simply I love this film. Although it is not my favourite film of all time (in the top twenty) it is the one that I have watched the most (at least fifteen times, please don’t judge me on that!).
I think most guys have an inbuilt genetic love of Dinosuars, they fascinate us as a child ...

Advantages: Nice special effects, the T-Rex Disadvantages: None to note
I saw this film on it’s release based on the spcial effects that, for their time, were simply stunning. It’s quite an interesting story really, summed up beautifully by Jeff Goldblums character in the film: God creates dinosaur, god kills dinosaur, god creates man, man kills god, man creates dinosaur, dinosaur eat’s man. Forgive me if I’ve misquoted, but you get the idea. What Spielberg gives us is some decent acting from Sam Neill and Goldblum and ...

Advantages: Brilliant story Disadvantages: perhaps showing it's age
First released in 1993, Jurassic Park was one of Steven Spielberg’s most famous films. It was adapted from a book (which I have also read) by Michael Crichton and spawned 2 sequels so far.

The Story

From the film and book we are shown a slightly different world to the one we live in.

...the third part of the jurassic serie is profiled in
our cinema, for the greatest happiness... of the merchandisers
and the producers, I wanted to give my opinion on the first episode of
the series, which, moreover could be completely adapted to the second,
so much the 2 films are (unfortunately) similar. This film takes us
along to the heart of the enthralling history and intriguing

...beautifully in a box set. Jurassic Park is one of Steven Spielbergs finest movies as well as being a huge worldwide success. The dinosaurs escape and go on a spectacular rampage around the park paving the way to spectacular special effects. The Lost World took a different approach to the dinosaurs and let them roam free on an island then put humans in the middle. This too makes way for some spectacular action scenes and special effects. Both films ...

Advantages: Special effects have to be seen to be believed, and excellent atmosphere Disadvantages: Not anything really
This film is, at the present date, 8 years old, but it doesn't show at all. I watched it on video just the other day, and the special effects are comparable to any seen in films today. I'm sure we all know the plot by now - Richard Attenborough makes a dinosaur theme park from DNA extracted from a mosquito in amber, which promptly breaks down and sets all the dinosaurs loose on unsuspecting cast. The combination of excellent author - Crichton - and ...
