Jurassic Park (DVD)

This film was actually based on a book written by Michael Crichton. Steven Spielburg took the idea and turned it into the ultimate monster movie. Spielburg takes over the theme of Crichton's somewhat serious book, ditches the mumbo jumbo, changes the characters, and turns it into a 90's horror movie that’s suitable for all the family. Spielburg casted his fellow director Richard Attenborogh, as a mad but wealthy Scottish tycoon, who builds ...
...Two doctors played by Sam Neill and Laura Dern, and a wise assed mathematician played by Jeff Golburn all arrive to check out the island. But soon after arriving, the dinosaurs are running amok; there are Tyrannosaurus and Pterodactyls on the loose. There is also a very nasty Tyrannosaurus Rex who chases the doctors around the island in hope that they will become a tasty snack. This film featured state of the art camera effects and deserving won ...

Review of Jurassic Park (DVD)

When Jurassic Park first premiered at the movies, everyone was quizzing as to whether the regeneration of extinct dinosaurs from mosquito DNA could really happen. Well… anything is possible… in Movieland. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), are two palaeontologists whose dig is interrupted when a scientist, Dr. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) drops in via helicopter to invite them to his theme park in South America, ...
...is Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), John Hammond’s lawyer, and also his two grandchildren. They’re taken through the story of how the mosquito, sealed in a ball of amber on his walking stick, helped them to create dinosaurs. The plan was to view the show and take the automatic car ride journey around the park to see the different types of species that have been bred. Meanwhile, Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight), who is a computer programmer, ...

Review of Jurassic Park (DVD)

...Based on Michael Crichton's book, Jurassic Park became the most successful movie ever when it was released in the early 1990's and rightfully so if all you are interested in is special effects. The Plot... A wealthy entrepreneur has created a prehistoric theme park on a remote island which features real live dinosaurs which have been cloned from extracting their DNA from blood found in mosquitos discovered fossilised in amber. In order to gain ...

I fully understand that if you make a motion picture with a budget of this size then you need to make the money back, but ...

Review of Jurassic Park (DVD)

I always love Steven Spieldberg's movies. I admire his talents and his idea of making movies. This is not the exception. Undeniably, this movie really influence the world -- you may see a lot of dinasours products like toys etc, shows and so on during that period. You really can feel the influence of Steven Spielberg from this movie. Yeah, this movie is about some man-eating dinasours chasing human beings. In other words, there are lots of chasing, ...
...worth to mention is there is not bloody scence. In addition, there are senses of humour in the movie too. There is one shot which I really love: two kids have some intelligence fight against two raptors. However I think this film is more suitable for adults because some of the scences are too horror and bloody. It will scare the kids very much. But, I think with parents' guidance the children will like the last scence which the kids fight against ...

Review of Jurassic Park (DVD)

Can you believe it? Jurassic Park was released into our cinemas a whole 7 years back, and for me it still has some of the greatest special effects seen in a film ever. At the time Jurassic Park was ground breaking, and if you watch the film (if you have never seen it) then I'm sure you will see what I mean. The film, directed by Steven Spielberg, is one of the greatest Blockbuster smashes of all time, making loads of money simply because it is an ...
...a lot of action in Jurassic Park - right from the start to the very end, you won't get bored watching it as the film provides edge of your seat tension and drama without being too scary for children. The storyline is superb, and the twists and turns in the plot make for an all round excellent viewing, which isn't at all predictable the first time that you see it. You really do have to admire the film, and appreciate the quality and substance to it. ...

When problems arise with the park systems, he calles in paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neil) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and kooky mathematician Iam Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). To add scare ...

As it was based on a Michael Crichton book, the plot and charahcters are great, as is the science and the message to leave nature alone. The effects are breathtaking, especially the scenes with the T- rex and the ever- popular raptors. When the dinosaurs begin to escape and lay waste to everything, we see just how powerful ...

Jurassic Park was an amazing blockbuster when it came out, definately one of Spielberg's finest. The stunning graphics amazed the millions who helped make it land in the top ten movies grosses worldwide. Now it has been re-introduced in DVD format, on it's own or with the extremely under rated 'Lost World - Jurassic Park II'. The added features are so similar that if you had the Lost World on video it is a waste to get it on dvd as the features ...

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 ...

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 ...

The basic idea is to have an island in the middle of no where full of dinosaurs that were all once extinct. The film starts with the uncle who owns the island full of dinosaurs called Jurassic Park inviting some two children which are his neice and nephew to the island to visit. So the children come to visit and are ...

Jurassic Park is a wonderful film. It stars Jeff Goldbloom and Richard Attenbourough. It is directed by Steven Spielberg. So, it is obvious why it was such a good film. The story is about a top scientist (Attenbourgh) who discovers a way to re-create dinosaurs. He invites a financial expert, mathmetician, two paleiantologists and a few of his grandchildren to have a sneak preview. Meanwhile Denis Nedry, a comouter expert in the company is bribed ...

(just off Costa Rica) The acting is amazing by everyone, even the children. It is totally unrealistic but the revolutionary computer graphics make it look believable. Allround, a top film which you will watch again and again. ...

When I was watching this film I specifically paid close attention to the detail and time they spent on making the robotic dinosaurs, quite a lot of time they went into a little bit to much detail.
