Review of Jurassic Park (1993) by Jack O — 08 Aug 2018
And now we've come to the big one, Jurassic Park, the highest grossing film of all time. When people got to see this years back they are in awe just like me and they were on the edge of the seat when the thrill starts.
Jurassic Park is a theme park of where dinosaurs is shown in the park of where dinosaurs lived a million years ago and to entertain people and kids with awe and they got rides in the park like most theme parks got.
The film takes place at Isla Nublar. Three doctors, Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm and others are with John Hammond travelling to a wildlife park called Jurassic Park where Hammond created cloned dinosaurs on Costa Rican island.
While they arrive, they saw a brachiosaurus and Grant couldn't believe his eyes when Hammond said "We have a T-Rex." The group watched a Saturday Morning Cartoon where DNA is telling you all about dinosaurs by extracting from mosquitoes.
Sheesh! Looks like somebody been watching too many Looney Tunes! They went into the tour vehicles along with Hammond's grandchildren, Lex and Tim and then comes across a sick triceratops. And then the power goes off so is the tour vehicles and a nerdy lazy computer programmer, Dennis Nedry, has been bribed by Dodgson, is stealing dino DNA and the Tyrannosaurus rex appears by breaking through the electric fences.
Now let me get to something which REALLY mine and everybody's minds. First I'll start off by saying that I f**king love the special effects. The special effects are the highlight of the film and it mixes a lot of it with robotic puppets and computer animation known as CGI.
The effects on the dinosaurs are fantastic and impeccable. I really love the T-Rex scene where it attacks Lex and Tim in the tour vehicle and injures one of the group including Ian Malcolm and killing Donald Gennaro.
The Tyrannosaurus rex is something that people are in awe with including the effects on the dinosaurs and that goes with the triceratops. The triceratops is made out of robotic animatronics like all the other dinosaurs.
It looks like you're looking at a real dinosaur. Stan Winston and his team did a fantastic job on the visual effects. The CGI is been used previously in The Abyss and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Impressive, ain't it? The characters are really likeable and lovable and memorable.
The actors did a really fantastic job on their portrayal on the characters. Sam Neill is Dr. Alan Grant is really good. He knows how dinosaurs extinct and what breed it is and does not like children but warms up to Lex and Tim, he's beginning to like children even more.
He's such a great character. Laura Dern plays Dr. Ellie Sattler and that's all I can say about her. Jeff Goldblum plays Dr. Ian Malcolm who I think this character is a fan favourite by many people.
He's a mathematician who specialise in chaos theory. Well, of course everybody knows the legendary Richard Attenborough as John Hammond. He passed away in a legendary age of 90. He's a billionaire philanthropist who Jurassic Park and the bioengineering company, InGen.
He invites Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler to look at the cloning dinosaurs. He's a strong character. Two grandchildren, Lex and Tim who are John Hammond's grandchildren. They not annoying as many people said and that's how it works.
Everybody remembers Samuel L. Jackson. I gotta say he says one line from which he said in Kong: Skull Island. "Hold on to your butts." The music I gotta say is absolutely beautiful. And you all know it's he legendary John Williams.
He creates memorable music in many films he done in. The theme of Jurassic Park BLEW people away and it's becoming of the John Williams best piece of music in the generation of the life time and my favourite of all time along with Jaws.
There's one scene that I do love is where you see the brachiosaurus for the first time and when you see it, it's CGI and it's breath-taking and it's so motherf***ing satisfying to look at.
When John Hammond says a memorable line "Welcome to Jurassic Park." The music kicks in and you'll be in awe once you've seen the dinosaurs move in herds. Listen. This will never get out of your head every year every time you think about it.
What can I say about Jurassic Park? Well, I gotta say, I love everything about it. I love the characters the awesome story, fantastic special/visual effects, the directing style from one of my favourite directors of all time Steven Spielberg and the unforgettable music score by John Williams.
You can't really go wrong, it is such an masterpiece! I can watch it over and over again without a fail and cannot deny it. It left me with awe and every time the Tyrannosaurus rex comes in and kills the raptors, it roars when the sign comes down saying "When dinosaurs ruled the earth.
", it blew people away when they got out of the cinema years ago. Also, I would also recommend watching the special features and while you did that, you'll find a title called "The Making of Jurassic Park" and it's fantastic to look at.
It's hosted by James Earl Jones and he tells that dinosaurs exist 65 million years ago. Jurassic Park is a biggest achievement for everyone who are in awe while they're in the roller coaster ride at the theme park.
Good luck and welcome to Jurassic Park.
