Steven Spielberg's best film

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2015)

Plot: paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park's mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone including his grandchildren that the facility is safe, they find out otherwise when various ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt.
I have loved this film ever since I was a kid. Each time I watch it, I'm always amazed at how they managed to pull this off without any problems during production. This is a fascinating story about how we shouldn't tamper with nature of any kind of species. Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough all give terrific performances, fully realizing their character's motivations and not trying to make them blatant stereotypes like some movies would do. Even the kids , Joseph Mazzello and Arianna Richards are not annoying little brats that never shut up and whine, they are very likable and very charming. The special effects are top notch and are one of a kind. They changed the way special effects would be along with Terminator 2. Stan Winston and his team did an amazing job combing animatronics and CGI beautifully making the dinosaurs realistic.
While there are minor differences from the Michael Crichton book, Spielberg stays true to the themes and ideas that Crichton had in his book, hell Crichton even co-wrote the screenplay to help keep the movie as fairly accurate to his book.
Jurassic Park is my favorite Spielberg film, with great performances, fantastic special effects, a terrific story, and my all time favorite John Williams score from any film that he's done, Jurassic Park is and will always be in my opinion, Steven Spielberg's Masterpiece.
