A magnificent but fragile fantasy

Rating: 7/10 (15 April 2019)

As other flicks in the hall of classics 'Jurassic Park' is a common reference between adults and children, but among film addicts it is also known for its incredible novelty and use of practical effects that defied any expectations.
As a child, I was not that into dinosaurs but one thought of having a full park inhabited with those ancient lizards would stir up my blood and whirl my head. Stephen Spielberg has created a dream attraction that makes you regret that you are living in a wrong reality. However, not everything is so perfect and bright; you need to take care of your child or it will sneakily bite you and throw a bunch of unexpected surprises.
The atmosphere of the film is the thing that glues my attention right away: you could see that the owner of the park cares about the park as for nothing else in his life and frankly I believe that this love comes directly from Stephen Spielberg. You could feel the touch and the struggle to make everything as real as possible, the music throws you at the state of admiring serenity with occasional moments of trembling tension that hold your breath without you even noticing it.
For the cast, the picture is fairly good but still the conduct of the characters is extremely weird and unnatural, we will omit the behavior of Jeff Goldblum because he is an exceptional diamond that cannot be judged. Anyways the human part was overshadowed by the real heroes of the time - dinosaurs - the complex and, for sure, costly machinery paid back handsomely: even for the current standards it is considered as a masterpiece.
Back from the messed up trip we go and I must say that the idea shines brighter than a sun, implementation is amazing, performance slightly limps behind but overall the motion picture for sure has to be on your home shelf with "Cool stuff" label on it, however, the fragility is that the older you are at the time of the first look, the less you are impressed by it.
