Jurassic Park was released on 1993 directed by the now well known Steven Spielberg, based on the book of the same name; everybody who saw this movie back in the day was blown away and it was almost a phenomenon for a long time... Jurassic Park has a special place in my heart has is one of the first movies I remember watching at a young age.
What happens when someone tries to play god and screws with nature? How do you control something you cannot begin to understand? These are the topics within the context of the movie (and the novel of course). Scientist and experts in the study of dinosaurs are invited to an island called "Nublar" by the billionaire CEO of InGen, John Hammond, who has just recently started a park on the island with exotic dinosaur creatures cloned from fresh DNA extracted from fossilized mosquitos... has the story progresses everything in the park begins to fall apart and is now a fight for survival on an island filled with dangerous dinosaur critters ready to eat human flash. The story manages to let you feel every emotion that is going for at every turn from marveled to shocked or scared at a moments notice and that is the very strength of the film, it knows how to make you feel in every moment.
The special effect of the movie are also specially interesting to look at; this was at the time when CGI was beginning to catch on the filmmaking production but wasn't being exploited yet where you can notice when something is clearly computer generated, the best are when we can see the animatronic is working in conjunction with the CG department to create an spectacular dinosaur movement like that of the T-Rex or even the raptors in the kitchen scene... they look real on screen because they are actually in front of the screen, that is the one perk that animatronics or puppets have above CG in film and Jurassic Park is a testimony of that.
While slow at the start for does wanting to get to the action, it works great to depict some of the character that we are seeing and we are going to be with through the rest of the film; when the survival moment come is easy to feel the thrill of each scene with tension added with the kids hanging being in danger has well (sometimes alone) makes it for an even more tense scene, all thanks to the actors performance including the kids.
Jurassic Park is a great survival flick, it even manages to be somehow a family adventure, I know it sounds crazy but it is a fun movie to watch... there is plenty of death, but not enough blood to traumatize your kid IMO. If you haven´t seen this movie yet then go right ahead and check it out for yourself! I think Ive talked enough about this movie and I really think is one people should look for themselves and arrive to their own conclusions...
