The perfect fantasy

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2020)

In general, I dislike everything Spielberg, but his vomitive capacity to make movies full on cheap and cheesy sentimentalism, went a bit absent in this massive movie about dinosaurs. As a kid in love of them I can't deny I thank him so much for bringing dinosaurs "to life" like never before and after in this film, without putting too much attention on the human part of the story, like Godzilla.
The "family" theme is there, but the rest is focus on the moral dilemma of humans "playing God", creating these creatures that we would never really see, but this film brought to us as close as possible.
Little to say. The story is very simple, the science quickly and fantastically explained (whether the science "makes sense" or not, I don't really know), the escalating tension is well done, the characters believable and, like I said, the balance between plot and spectacle, just perfect.
The acting was really consistent in somewhat easy roles (except for the surprise/admiration/fear of the first encounter with "real" dinosaurs). The score from Williams, superb. The CGI still holds up 25+ years later, and the practical effects amazing.
