Jurassic Park - Widescreen Collector's Edition Reviews
The only true remake of Michale Crichton's book...
Lets face it, Congo and Sphere just both bombed one after the other, but Jurrasic Park sure showed what you can do with a great author's story when you combine it with a great director. Point taken that the movie does not follow the book, but I think it made it appear to people in another way of what might happen if someone of Crichton's level remade his story.
Jurrasic Park is the story of a man named John Hammond, well in his senior years, who is a billionaire that decides to open a park on an island off the coast of Costa Rica. There is one difference with his park, or should I say, there is a big difference with his park.
His park has full grown disonasuars, from herbivores to carnivores, any type you can name of, and some you might did not know even exist. To show that his park is safe, Hammond decides to invite several guests to his park for a special tour. They include two palenantologists, a mathematician, a lawyer from the company Hammond owns name InGen, and Hammonds own grandchildren.
Sam Neil plays Alan Grant, the head hancho in my opinion, who is obsessed with dinosaurs and doesn't really know what to think of the park. Laura Dern plays Ellie Sattler, the second paleantologist, who thinks that the park isn't a good idea. And then you have the best character in the movie, again my opinion, Jeff Goldblum, whos plays Ian Malcom, who hates the idea of bringing the dinosaurs back to life.
The park tour goes smoothly, if not for some sick triceratops and some no shows at some exhibits, but when a storm comes, and a park employee decides to cash in on the embryos with the Dino's DNA, thats when the movie gets really interesting.
The Dinosaurs are some of the best special effects you will ever see, I guarantee it, even if you hate the plot you have to respect the power the dinos are shown in. A lot a mayhem, and a especially scary scene when the T-Rex gets out makes this a super chiller.
But the good part of the movie are when the Velocoraptors get out, now they are the truly nasty son's of b*tches. And the Dinosaur that has a fin on his neck is trully creepy. [I know it sounds funny, but when you see it spit acid maybe you wouldn't want to meet it face to face afterall.]
Luckily all the annoying people get killed; So if you think someone should just shut up when he or she talks don't worry, they probably will be silenced for good. Although I did like Samuel L Jackson's character in it, but why kill him off, he was cool. [Sorry if I ruined that part to those who haven't seen it]
I enjoyed this movie, it truly is a classic, and if Spielburg directed, you know you will get your money's worth, no matter what happens in it. Also look for the incredible special effects, both terrifying and aw-inspiring, add all those things up and you have yourself a great movie.
In my top five of films...
Jurassic Park remains at #2 of my top five favorite films of all time. Everything about it is just amazing and magical.
Acting:
The whole cast did an amazing job, but in particular, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, Sam Neill and Laura Dern did the best and gave their 100%. Jeff Goldblum, Samuel L. Jackson, Richard Attenborough and Bob Peck also did magnifacent jobs at acting in their roles. The cast also fit their roles perfectly!
Direction: You would expect the direction of a movie thats directed by Steven Spielberg to be creative and original and well...it is, the direction of Spielberg adds originality as well as tension and chills to the already magical and thrilling as well as frightning scenes.
CGI/Anamotronics: The animatronics and CGI were just, whats the word?...AMAZING! I would say Jurassic Park and it's first seqeul have the best CGI/Ani to date, the dinosaurs are just so realistic and look so real that you wish you were inside this theme park ride.
This film contians some of the most memorable scenes of all time which include SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER: When Tim and Lex Murphy(Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards) are trapped in the kitchen and are being stalked by Velociraptors, the scene is ultimatley chilling as well as magical and jaw dropping. Another scene is the Tyrannosaurus Rex's first appearence in which it attacks and overturns the explorer car that Tim and Lex are inside of, the whole scene is magical and terrifying. The film is great from a very chilling scene to one of the best climaxes I've seen from a movie! The movie is just...magnificent, and ear pounding, one of the best movie scores of all time! This movie is just so many things put together. If you haven't seen this film yet then where the heck have you been??? You have to see this film!
