A groundbreaking experience

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2016)

Steven Spielberg is a MASTER of filmmaking. This is common knowledge, he has proved it many times and especially with "Jurassic Park". It's a legendary blockbuster and was an amazing hit when it came out in 1993. It has been loved by audiences everywhere and it's a movie all 90s kids grew up with.
The plot is that a rich man named John Hammond wants to open up a park with genetically made dinosaurs, but has to have the approval from a certain dinosaur expert named Alan Grant who reluctantly comes along and brings his girlfriend Ellie. He also got Dr. Ian Malcolm who is a mathematician studying chaos to come along to the island. This is where the adventure starts.
I personally feel that he (vaguely) made "Jurassic Park" the same way he made "Jaws". Everybody is so excited to see the T-Rex and the shark but they find themselves more invested in the characters because they are amazingly written and fleshed out and the dialogue is perfect. As with Jaws, the dinosaurs doesn't have too much screen time which is good. It makes the scenes they are in much more special and let's us use more time on the amazing characters.
The trouble of having an old movie which relies on dinosaurs is that it could easily look dated (like Jurassic Park 3 looks now), but this movie holds up amazingly well. Steven Spielberg shows again that he is a master by only using CGI in the wide shots and using an animatronic in the closeups. This makes the dinosaur look real and even 23 years later it feels real.
The score is probably my favorite score of all time, i like it better than jaws, Indiana Jones and maybe even Star Wars. It's John Williams at his best. Everything in Jurassic Park is as close to perfect as i could want it and it is a movie everybody should see.
Please enjoy it.
