The premise: a theme park with genetically engineered dinosaurs has been developed by John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), who invites palaeontologists Dr Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and his own grandchildren to test out the park. The problem: a power failure results in the dinosaurs being let loose…
Why is it so good?
With a combination of animatronics and CGI, the special effects are impressive, especially for when it was made. Both the characters and the dinosaurs are believable and even the smaller character roles are well-developed. Jeff Goldblum is particularly amusing as chaotician Dr Ian Malcolm and has some of the best lines in the film:
“Your Scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they Could, they didn’t stop to think if they Should.”
Jurassic Park is a film to be enjoyed on many levels, on the one hand it is a classic popcorn blockbuster to be entertained by but, it also has depth and will make you consider what is ethically and morally right at this time of huge technological advancements.
There are some of the most iconic scenes in cinema within this film and the classic chase scene has never been so tense. Expert Hollywood composer John Williams provided the iconic music for the film with director Steven Spielberg successfully turning a story into an event. The film cleverly fuses the past with the future, providing entertainment and thrills along the way, as well as humour in all the right places. This is blockbuster filmmaking at its best and all the family can enjoy it.
Jurassic Park is a hugely successful film franchise, so you might as well start at the beginning and indulge in all 5 films while you have the opportunity!
Jurassic World 3 is anticipated to be released in cinemas next year.
