A dream came true

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2015)

I have seen Jurassic Park so many times and every occasion made me love this movie even more. It is a timeless classic which was made with heart. Spielberg created this movie with commitment and passion, he wanted a dream come true, a dream of so many kids who are in love with dinosaurs. In that era profit was not the major priority unlike nowadays.
Jurassic Park's visuals are still amazing, even after 22 years it could stand its ground. Back in those days CGI was revolutionary but the high use of practical effect is the main reason of greatness. Sound effects are also outstanding, everyone can recognize T-Rex's roar which can be awesome and scary at the same time.
Spielberg added horror elements as well, this made some movie scenes even more intense and terrifying. Without doubt the T-Rex scene is the perfect example for this. He perfectly built up the tension and let the thrill culminate, with this technique he created one of the most memorable scenes in cinema history.
Besides being a great movie it is able to come up with meaningful thoughts about re-creation. Characters were put into situations where they have a chance to mull over and argue about the resurrection of dinosaurs. This is a perfect environment for topics like: scientists who want to play God again, what the nature sentenced to extinction should not be bothered, Is it possible for mankind to live with nature peacefully? etc. There are plenty of characters to represent each side and they have enough time to engage in an interesting discussion.
Sam Niel was an excellent choice for the role of Alan Grant. Laura Dern was also great and Richard Attenborough played the dreamer well who can't accept failure. The presentation of Hammond and Malcolm sometimes looked like a Yin-Yang to me (the color of their clothes were the evidence for that). Without doubt the highlight was Jeff Goldblum. Some of his quotes still appear in my everyday life. Kids were also lovely which is a big statement if we try to compare them with today's child actors.
John Williams does not need an introduction, he is a mastermind. Music completely harmonized with scenes and the main theme gives me goosebumps every time. After Star Wars and Indiana Jones he was able to create a completely different catchy melody.
It is not just a blockbuster, Spielberg created something unique which is able to overarch ages and entertain different generations.
