Steven Spielberg's 1993 mega-hit rivals Jaws as the most intense and frightening film he'd ever made prior to Schindler's List, but it was also among his weakest stories. Based on Michael Crichton's novel about an island amusement park populated by cloned dinosaurs, the film works best as a thrill ride with none of the interesting human dynamics of Spielberg's Jaws. That lapse proves unfortunate, but there's no shortage of raw terror as a rampaging T-rex and nasty raptors try to make fast food out of the cast. The effects are still astonishing (despite the fact that the computer-generated technology has since been improved upon) and at times primeval, such as the sight of a herd of whatever-they-are scampering through a valley. --Tom Keogh

 Pretty much over it. July 10, 2008

Jurassic Park was a huge and successful movie when it was released in 1993 and I just a little kid back then but watching this blockbuster now, well this film has lost its luster and excitment. I really cannot watch this film ever again, it looks so cheap and silly now, Steven Spielberg's directing is overrated even to this day. The only character that is still funny to me is Jeff Goldblum. A lot of people may see this movie as an oldie but goodie but sorry to say I don't feel the same.
 One heck of a thrill ride June 30, 2008

When I was a kid, I watched "Jaws" with my family. Since then, i have become terrified of sharks and swimming in the ocean. I also watched "Jurassic Park" when I was little with my sister, and my sister has never gotten over her fear of dinosaurs, despite the fact that they're extinct! While the dinos didn't scare me, I couldn't help but be amazed by this movie. Stephen Spielberg created the ultimate thrill ride when he made this movie. In my opinion, almost everything about the film is perfect. Many people have said the plot was weak, but if you compare it to a lot of other blockbusters gracing the screen today it holds up pretty well. The special effects also hold up perfectly, especially when you compare it to Spielberg's recent film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (now those were bad effects). The dinosaurs still look pretty realistic. My favorite thing about Jurassic Park is the suspense throughout the movie. Without a doubt, my favorite scene is the first T-Rex scene. It starts off with the goat disappearing, then the water in the footprints start to shake and...well, you know what happens. Though other sequels followed, to me there will be nothing better than the first one: Welcome to Jurassic Park!
 Oldie but a goodie, with DNA info to boot! June 29, 2008

I was surprised at how much my Biology students were interested in watching this movie following our DNA unit! Although a science fiction movie, the explanations of DNA are sound enough that students can relate them to what they have learned in class.
Great to see Dinos get to the big screen. June 23, 2008

JP doesn't have much in the way of a story.
It really didn't need one.
Everyone went to see the scary dinos.
And Speilberg succeeds yet again, delivering the thrills and chills at a breakneck pace.
The story?
Genitically engineered dinos.
That's the story, basically.
If your looking for "Gone With The Wind" with dinos, your looking in the wrong place.
Action, action and more action.
This is a must have / must see movie.
RECOMMENDED!!!
Jurassic Park is Dominate! June 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Jurassic Park is the most dominate dinosaur series out there! It has so many ranges of dinosaurs it's pathetic! { in a good way! } Ranging from the Velociraptor to the Brachiosaurus to the Tyrannosaurus! Jurassic Park is action packed fast paced and very entertaining! Steven Spielberg has made the dinosaurs belivable. Unlike Carnotaur, { The dinosaur in Carnotaur was actually a larger velociraptor } the dinosaurs are accurate in height weight and sound. You feel like your actually in the movie running away from them with the humans! I love Jurassic Park and I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in dinosaurs or someone who is a fan of movie monsters! 5 out of 5 stars!
