Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2016)

-Spoiler Alert-
Jurassic Park is the best film of all time for many reasons. The film is unlike anything that was ever made before it, and was done with such expertise that it remains a milestone in modern cinema. Spielberg really hit the gold mine with this one, combining exciting action sequences, with groundbreaking and visually stunning special effects, lots of suspense, and great dialogue and acting. Even considering all of Spielberg's great work, next to Jaws and Raiders, Jurassic Park is his best film. Spielberg shows true versatility as a director throughout the film, moving from emotional scenes with peaceful and loving dinosaurs such as the triceratops in the field, to scary, suspense filled sequences with dangerous and aggressive predators, such as the T-Rex paddock sequence. One of the best scenes in the film, is the raptor sequence within the kitchen. It is well paced, and provides unrelenting tension, leaving you on the edge of your seat, asking, "what will happen next?" Throughout the course of the film we begin to realize the main theme of the movie to be a great concern- should man tamper with nature? Should man recreate what was already naturally extinct? The first half of the film leaves one thinking that man should, given all of the happiness and amazement that the dinosaurs create. As the film continues, the audience begins to realize that it is truly a dangerous forte, and should be considered deeply. Another truly great aspect of the film, is how the dinosaurs always are animals, never monsters. This again shows Spielberg's amazing talent as a director, and makes the film the amazing cinematic milestone that it is today.
