Jurassic Park is a classic Science fiction adventure film that delivers loads of stunning moments and it is by far Steven Spielberg's best film ever made. Based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton Jurassic Park follows two dinosaur experts Sam Neill's Dr.

Alan Grant and Laura Dern's Dr. Ellie as they are invited by eccentric millionaire John Hammond to preview his new amusement park on an island off Costa Rica by cloning DNA harvested from pre historic insects where Hammond creates living dinosaurs for his new attraction known as Jurassic Park where tourists gets to see lots of dinosaurs that were extinct many years ago.

But soon one of the employees turns against Hammond by messing with the park's system which results with the dinosaurs escaping. And soon Dr. Alan Grant and Richard Hammond's grandchildren must escape the island as all the dinosaurs wreck havoc in the park.

When I first heard of the Jurassic Park series right after watching the fourth film in the Jurassic Park series Jurassic World. I became so interested with the Jurassic Park movies and when I finally got the chance to watch the original Jurassic Park I was stunned and amazed.

Seriously, Jurassic Park is one of the best films about dinosaurs and it is my personal favorite Steven Spielberg film since Poltergeist. It is so cool how Steven Spielberg created such an amazing movie that everyone will never forget.

What I love about Jurassic Park is that this movie is seriously intriguing from start to finish and it is the film that can seriously entertain both kids and adults at the same time and the overall concept is very intriguing and cool.

The other things I like about this movie is how Spielberg created the film and he was able to execute the movie in a very good way there is nothing dull with it at all, everything in this movie is perfect thanks also to the screenplay by David Koepp and Michael Crichton himself.

The movie is also full of so many scenes that are so memorable and very intense, plus suspenceful at the same time(The opening sequence, the marvelous sequence where the dinosaur egg hatched, the first appearance of the T-Rex, The scene where the T-Rex attempts its first attack, the super thrilling sequence with the car hanging in the tree, scenes with the raptors, the intense electric fence scene and the finale where the T-Rex saves the day).

The other Highlights of the film is the settings of the movie and I love the look and feel of the film, it feels as if the park is there and it really exists at the same time. It gives the movie the feeling that you are in the park because the park looks so beautiful and gorgeous at the same time, plus the Jurassic Park theme song(which was used also in some of the sequels) is so heartwarming and the cinematography is beautiful and we get to see loads of wonderful and glorious views within the film itself and there are loads of magnificent landscapes and tight shots at the same time.

But the true main highlight of this movie is the dinosaurs and the special effects itself. I love all of the dinosaurs in this movie and my personal favorite dinosaur in the film is the T-Rex and the raptors they are by far the most terrifying dinosaurs in the movie while I also love the other dinosaurs like the Bracheosaurus, Triceratops etc.

.. and the effects itself are so amazing and beautiful. The idea of combining animatronics and CGI makes the look of the dinosaurs look so realistic and I love how the dinosaurs were designed in the film and the way they move is so realistic as well.

Plus the CGI is so top notch I would definitely say that Jurassic Park is also the film that introduced CGI. This is an example of a movie that handles the CGI properly and every special effect worked really well in the film at the same time, it seriously gave the film a strong feel and of course a proper look thanks to the movie's impressive quality we get an excellent movie with a proper execution.

Now the acting is superb, all of the casts in this movie did an amazing job with their work on this movie and all of them deliver the best performances in film history. Sam Neill did an amazing job with his performance as Dr.

Alan Grant the same can be said to Laura Dern as Dr. Ellie Alan Grant's partner and girlfriend. The late Richard Attenborough delivers one of his best performances ever as Richard Hammond the park owner, the same can be said to Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm and its also nice to see Samuel L.

Jackson in one of his earliest and best performance before he portrayed Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe while the rest of the casts did an amazing job with their performances as well. Director Steven Spielberg created an extraordinary and thrilling movie that captures the heart and strength of every kid who wants to learn about dinosaurs and Spielberg managed to turn David Koepp and Michael Crichton's screenplay into a beautiful movie with loads of memorable moments and it also acts as one of the best films of the 90's at the same time.

Overall Jurassic Park is a fun and superb Adventure film that delivers loads of thrills and tension from start to finish and this is the best installment in the Jurassic Park series since Jurassic World.

This movie gets a 10.5/10.
