Jurassic Park (1993) - Review

This movie is a classic. Steven Spielberg at his best. Even 20 years from now I know that I would enjoy this movie. Jurassic park made me believe in the impossible with the amazing effects throughout the movie. I was never not interested and probably at my feet during most of the scenes. The only other movie that kept me this excited was ‘predator’ starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is one of those movies that I’ll be proud to say that it’s from my generation.

The movie starts off showing about an island near Costa Rica where the dinosaur reserve named Jurassic park is located. Then join the experts to give credibility for the Jurassic park before it gets launched to the people. Dr Alan Grant (Sam Neill), his partner, paleo-botanist Dr Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and the brilliant-but-cynical mathematician Dr Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). When the trio arrives at Jurassic Park, they are astonished by what it represents. It doesn't take long, however, for astonishment to turn to horror.

The music is perfect for me as it kept on giving me scares and chills. The introduction of Tyrannosaurs Rex is a great example and the two little kid’s reaction shows some class acting. There are many notable scenes which have excelled in music even the last scene in the kitchen when a raptor is hunting and there is pin drop silence, detail is given to every tiny sound at that time which keeps you on your toes. The direction is stand out as its by Steven Spielberg, incredible work of art and masterpiece. The story is good and builds on and doesn’t lose track from the plot. Although there are certain plot holes in the movie, for example they don’t show how they created the eggs. Only thing we know is they have the DNA of the dinosaurs. Then there is another plot hole when Lex (Ariana Richards) takes over the computer to get the security back on. There’s a raptor attacking them and they need to close the door with the help of the computer. They are successful at it and they lock the raptor out but in the next scene he is back and attacking. There is no scene showing how he found a way to attack them again.

I would recommend this movie to every movie goer out there to not miss this movie at any cost.

My final verdict for it will be 4/5 stars.
