As a technical achievement and a clean visual feat of wonder, "Jurassic Park" is nothing short of brilliant and delivers on all counts. As the first major Hollywood film to take full advantage of photo-realistic CG animals, dinosaurs, in this case, taken in full daylight and in great detail, this film is a milestone in the history of film and brought a new sense of wonder on screen. It could be argued that helped accelerate the CG industry and led to a wave of CG-filled movies that are nothing but CG shine and nothing else, but "Jurassic Park" and still deserves its place as a milestone in filmmaking. As a story, it's not really anything special, nor were the characters inhabiting it extend beyond two dimensions. It seems, however, that Steven Spielberg was more focused on getting the dinosaurs on the screen and I can not blame him for that because they are the stars of this story and the audience will get to see the film. As a monster-movie that's not entirely original in its execution (with the exception of its high-tech, scientifically possible concepts). What she has the 'wow ' factor to actually see a real dinosaur on the screen, and some of the most spectacular action sequences are likely to see.
"Jurassic Park" is essentially a watered-down version of the novel which is based on Michael Crichton. In it, two paleontologists, Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) are convinced to come to the island off Costa Rica owned by a mysterious billionaire entrepreuner John Hammond (Sir Richard Attenborough), after which he offers to finance its dinosaur bone excavation for another three years. When they arrived, they were joined by a charming mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), who is a proponent of chaos theory that basically says that life is itself unpredictable, and any attempt to control the will to succeed. They come to the island where Hammond reveals his big secret, that has created a theme park filled with genetically engineered dinosaurs, created from blood taken from a prehistoric mosquito. Grant and Sattler are afraid of what they see, and Malcolm's initial awe give way to pessimism as he explains how the Hammond in an attempt to control this island full of creatures will fail. Well, as you guessed, thanks sent to the Hammond (played by Wayne Knight), which disables the security systems in order to get some examples of embryos unnoticed by rival companies to the island, dinosaurs are loose and continue to own the island, and devouring it in one their path.
central sci-fi concept of how the dinosaurs return is genuine and exciting one that shares the film with a book. It's not stupid, and it allows the dinosaurs to be brought up to today, without resorting to 'lost world' type of approach. However, the film would not be burdened with a lot of exposure related to it (vid it inherited from the book), especially in the first half of the film, things can be a bit slow going because it all gets explained. Spielberg's best to keep things moving along, but eventually you'll have to wait at least an hour before you can see more scary, interesting sequences. The exhibition is broken is the first appearance of dinosaurs on the screen, which is very effective because it invites you to join me in awe that the characters are experiencing. There is also the birth of a Velociraptor which is quite interesting.
characters are a big let down. Oddly enough, they have more depth than in the novel, but even so, there is a whole lot going on there. The characters are there, or to explain things or Dino-food. As a monster-movie that can not be necessarily a bad thing, but so did that gives you plenty of dry, I do not care and feeling so afraid a little more mechanical than dramatically exciting. I think for this first trip to see the concept of dinosaurs on the screen outweighs this disadvantage, but it does not knock the film down the back peg or two.
Of course, the selling point for this film is a monster-movie that contains sequences of dinosaurs running amok. Here is the opening sequence where Velociraptor almost escapes, but manages to eat the workers in this process. Spielberg takes this pretty creepy, and at one part of a game hunter and prey eye-ball to each other. Then there is the T-Rex sequences, the first attack on the car when you escape from the pen, which is amazing to watch. Then there'sis the scene where he chases jeep with Malcolm in the back coming within inches be eaten . And there's the grand finale where the T-Rex actually saves our signs divert raptors away from them. sequences with the Raptors are more exciting, as they are sharp intelligence, especially when they are chasing two children through the kitchen. It might be unfair of me to say this, but there were a few sequences in the book that I would have liked to have seen on the screen that I felt left me wanting more, but then they can not do everything. I think that's what sequels are for right?
"Jurassic Park" is a memorable, entertaining movie, there is not only the depth or any attempt to do nothing more than creating dinosaurs. Finally, it is more or less spectacular technical achievement, not a great movie that could have been, if more work is done on the characters and story execution.
