Ratings and reviews

Jurassic Park, one of the best movies of all time. One of director Steven Spielberg's best movies and if not one of the greatest in cinema history. CGI got put on map because of this movie. Though if you look closely....some CGI images in the movie can be obviously known, but for most of the movie the CGI is better than modern CGI. Great movie based off a very complex and intriguing book.

If you read the book first, don't even bother. This movie was so dumbed down, I walked out of the theater. The only plus side was the graffics. If you just want to see dinosaurs stalking and eating people but don't care about the actual scientific process behind the making of the dinosaurs or the fact that the characters stray far from the book, you'll probably find it entertaining.

This movie has well-developed characters, a great story, legitimate scares, suspense and even funny jokes. But it's not just a great movie; Jurassic Park was an astounding feat of special effects, using some of the most advanced CGI in existence at the time and what is still some of the most realistic animatronics even seen. It is the measuring stick for all future monster movies.
