This 1993 science
fiction adventure film is based on the novel of the same name by Michael
Crichton, who was also hired to develop the screenplay for the movie.
Jurassic Park won the Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Visual Effects. As for the acting in the movie, it is one that I appreciate as the child actors and adults were just amazing in this movie.
The movie plot is
about a billionaire, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), and a small team of
genetic scientists who were working together to create an amusement park of
cloned dinosaurs.
John then recruits Dr.
Alan Grant (Sam Neill), a leading palaeontologist, and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura
Dern) to come endorse the park. With them was Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum),
a mathematician and chaos theorist.
John decided to take
them all on a tour of the park. He also took along his grandchildren.
Greed can be
dangerous, as one of the main programmers of the park decides to shut it down
in order to escape with some samples of dinosaur DNA to sell for profit. The
movie is about a tour gone wrong with hungry dinosaurs on the loose.
The thing is, Jurassic
Park CGI was amazing for something done in 1993 and it was both a critical and commercial success, and it also gave birth to two sequels — The
Lost World (1997, also directed by Spielberg) and Jurassic Park III (2001,
directed by Joe Johnston). Both were also financial successes, but none came
close to the first.
The movie title suggests that the dinosaurs featured all existed in the Jurassic period, but most of the dinosaurs you saw on screen didn’t exist until the Cretaceous period, with the exception of Brachiosaurus and Dilophosaurus.
My favourite line in
the movie was by Jeff Goldblum: “God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs,
God creates man, man destroys God, man creates dinosaurs.”
As much as I celebrate this movie, the thing I feel could have been done better would be the slow start, the movie starts slow and picks up much later.
I feel Jurassic Park is one of my all-time thrills, and I advise that you go get a dose of it again.
