Jurassic Park — A classic wonderland movie adventure by Steven Spielberg — 8*/10
- Overall: Even if the CGIs are a bit old, it still holds good and the story is full of adventure that easily transports the audience.
- Who is it for? Anyone who loves dinosaurs and wants to see the original, which is still the best of the franchise.
- Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107290/
- Known actors: Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Samuel L. Jackson and Wayne Knight.
- Cameos:
- Setting: 1993, a remote South American island.
- Style: A modern adventure sci-fi for the whole family.
- Pacing: Nice smooth rides made of a mix of action and character moments.
- Intro: Great. Starts in the thick of it without revealing anything, then calms down to build up to the real action.
- Story: It's the kind of adventure any kid would wish for and the kind of danger any sane person would want to avoid. Some humor, tons of action, many tense moments, nice character interactions and a lot of science.
- Ending: Solid.
- Dialogs: Very interesting, even captivating, funny at times.
- Characters: Extremely well built, archetypical stuff, except for the lawyer and even then, there's something to appreciate. The only weak one is the head of security, rather simple.
- Acting: Solid, even excellent for some, except the head of security.
- Special Effects: Were astounding, but still quite good.
- Score: Superb work by the great master, John Williams.
- Afterthoughts: In 1993, I had been completely blown away, as was anyone else who saw it. State-of-the-art computer graphics that felt totally real to us, because we only had animatronics before. Also, there was great scientific pains taken to make them as realistic as possible in every way.
Now, 23 years later, anyone new to the movie wouldn't feel the magic, because its computer graphics do not equal those we have today, but the story, characters and adventure still feel great.
