Directed by: Steven
Spielberg
Starring: Sam
Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough
John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has just completed a
historic endeavor. Using DNA from
prehistoric insects, he clones a once-extinct life form- the dinosaurs. With these prehistoric creatures, he launches
Jurassic Park. Naturally, one of his
workers gets mauled by a dinosaur.
Hammond and his attorney invite several scholars—Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff
Goldblum), Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern)—to
evaluate the safety of the facilities.
When the power goes out at Jurassic Park because of a severe storm,
these scientists are anything but safe with creatures like the Tyrannosaurus
and Velociraptors on the prowl. Anybody
who saw this film during its box office run has not forgotten the moment the
Tyrannosaurus arrived on screen. It was
true movie magic. It was one of the most
suspenseful moments ever on the big screen.
Jurassic Park is a visually
stunning sci-fi adventure. Spielberg’s
larger-than-life hit is equally majestic and exhilarating. Spielberg gives us memories that will last a
lifetime in this film. For this, it gets
a sober rating.
