This film needs no introduction. And it's one that made up a big part of my childhood. I was very lucky to have seen it again recently, though this time on the big screen. Dinosaurs, gallant yet gruff heroes, cute kids... what else could you possibly need? Did I mention the Dinosaurs? What I loved about this movie was that the dinosaurs looked real. It didn't have any of the silly overdone CGI rubbish that they overuse these days. There were no good-looking people and it was all about the acting... and the dinosaurs. One particular scene had a young Arianna Richards conveying her character's (Lexi) speechlessness at a level that most grown-ups cannot even achieve. Yes she can be a little annoying, but then how many girls her age can you say aren't annoying?
Jurassic Park, if you haven't already heard of or seen it, is about an amusement Park... filled with dinosaurs. Got your attention? It had mine throughout. So what happens if greedy villains, hankering over the technology to make their own dinobabies, get in the way? You get some very hungry dinosaurs loose from their cages. And the clever T-Rex does not like being treated like a pet as you can imagine!
Jurassic Park is one of those adventurous movies you long to be a part of. And Speilberg is an authority of this genre. How many of you wouldn't want to be stuck up that tree, petting a brachiosaurus?
The characters were all marvellous, each with a purpose. From the villainous Dennis, to the cigarette munching Ray (Samuel L. Jackson), to the gallant and gruff hero - Dr Grant. Let's not forget Richard Attenborough's John Hammond, who's enthusiasm you first get lost in, then whose stubbornness you want to shake out of him.
And who can forget the dinosaurs... the real stars of the show! From their munching to their pooping, they'll have you in awe and jumping out of your seats! They'll also have you laughing as you get to know their personalities. Yes! Dinosaurs have personalities too!
I almost forgot the score, a score to define a generation! Every time I hear that score, it takes me right back to my youth and my love for big lizards...
In conclusion, there's something for everyone. This is an example of great family movie, something every generation will enjoy!
There's something for everyone.
