An adventure that's worth the 65 million year wait!!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2018)

My dad was a huge fan of the book Jurassic Park and its sequel, The Lost World. The books became huge hits when Universal bought the rights from Michael Crichton three years before the movie came out, months before Spielberg's academy award winning movie, Schindler's List, came out. I was too young to see this movie as I was only 10 years old and dad was undecided on if I'd like it or not due to the pg-13 rating. I grew up being fascinated with dinosaurs after seeing exhibits about them and seeing them in cartoons and playing with them as toys as in Dino Riders. When i finally saw the movie on vhs more than a year after it was in theaters (dad saw it in Wayne Preakness, one of the few theaters that showed it in DTS 5.1, with my stepmom kathy two years before they got married), i loved it!! I saw it a few more times then bought the movie on tape at now gone Suncoast and I still have that tape somewhere lol. The CGI still stands the test of time nearly 25 years after it came out and the action is nonstop yet it drags a bit. The sequel that followed it, The lost world, i saw twice, first with my family and the second one with a group of boys and girls club teens and thought it was the best jurassic sequel. Jurassic Park III was the weakest in the franchise until Jurassic World became a humongous hit. Hopefully fallen kingdom is ok....
