A wealthy entrepreneur secretly creates a theme park featuring living dinosaurs drawn from prehistoric DNA.

    Truly a classic...
    Well, the 1993 adventure movie "Jurassic Park" definitely is a classic, and it was a movie that definitely set the benchmark for movies to come back in the day.

    I have seen director Steven Spielberg's 1993 movie "Jurassic Park" many times since it was originally released, and the movie continues to be every bit as entertaining as it was the first time seeing it. So writer David Koepp did a good job in bringing Michael Crichton's novel to the big screen.

    They had a great cast ensemble for the movie, with the likes of Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum in the leading roles. But also with the likes of Richard Attenborough, Martin Ferrero, BD Wong, Samuel L. Jackson and Wayne Knight on the cast list. So you are in quite capable hands as these performers bring the characters to life on the screen.

    Visually then "Jurassic Park" was spectacular when it was initially released back in 1993. Sure, the effects are starting to show fatigue and they are 30 years old already, but I will go as far as saying that the special effects and CGI in "Jurassic Park" still holds here in 2023, and actually is still better than a lot of more recently released movies. So that certainly counts for something of an achievement. And with "Jurassic Park" being a movie about dinosaur, then having realistic and believable creatures on the screen was a must, and they most certainly did have that.

    Not only is the visual great in "Jurassic Park", but the score as well. The music is very atmospheric and suitable for the movie. And that main theme definitely has a ring to it, doesn't it? Right up there alongside themes such as "Star Wars", "Jaws" and "Indiana Jones"

    If you haven't already seen the 1993 movie "Jurassic Park", then it is well due time to do so, because this movie is entertaining, enjoyable and was a fantastic kick off for a great movie franchise.

    "Jurassic Park" is a timeless classic, a movie that can be watched again and again, and that just makes it all the more enjoyable.

    My rating of "Jurassic Park" lands on a nine out of ten stars.

    A Masterpiece!
    This movie is one of the first I ever saw in my life. And I have watched this over a billion times. Talk about timeless thrillers and this is one among them.

    Yes the performances were good, yes the direction was good, but the CGI, VFX and sound design was groundbreaking and awe-inspiring. Steven Spielberg nailed it with direction. The adapted screenplay was superb, was not bored for even a minute. Another major highlight is the iconic score by John Williams. Of course I loved Jeff Goldblum's unique character more than any other characters. The leads and the kids were also good.

    A little too late to write a review, but I am glad that I can give this a 10/10. One of my all-time favourite movies.
