DinoWorld

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2001)

After seeing the film for the first time I realized that it was nothing but Westworld with dinosaurs. If you take out the robots and replace them with geneticly created dinosaurs then you have the movie Jurassic Park. A few items that Jurassic Park(1993) borrows from Westworld. The idea of a spectecular theme park that is to bring out the child in tourists. Something goes wrong and the exhibits of the theme park turn on its creators and anyone else that's around there. The heroes overcome the exhibits and barely flee with their lives. Although I wasn't impressed with this movie I did find it more entertaining to watch than the sequel The Lost World(1997). Attempts to do for dinosaurs what Jaws did for sharks. Wasn't as good as Jaws(1975) because at least in that film there were genuine attempts to create suspense, tension, and terror. The direction is average for the talents of Steven Spielberg. The cinematography is excellent for an average film. Sam Neill plays in his fourth genre film besides Possession(1981), Omen 3:The Final Conflict(1981), and Event Horizon(1997). The rest of the acting ranges from over the top to very good.
