Jurrasic Park - Wide Eyed at Age 25

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2015)

I usually shy away from reviewing movies on here that have a large quantity of reviews. It's sort of like repeating what everyone else has already said,but..I'll do my best.
In early 1994,a few months after this had been out,I decided to finally see what all the fuss was about. I normally don't "go with the crowd" on things,including movies. Curiosity got the better of me and I'm glad it did.
I already knew that during the course of this film I'd see dinosaurs on the loose and attacking. What I did not know or expect was the amazingly real looking beasts that emerged on-screen!
It speaks volumes for a movie and special effects when at age 25,my jaw literally dropped and my eyes got wide when the dinosaurs appeared! Computer effects are the "norm" now but in 1993/1994 it was just the most incredible thing Iever had seen on the big screen in special effects.
Topping the spaceship coming over the mountain in "Close Encounters" in 1977.
As for the rest,I was actually jumping when the dinosaurs roared,jumped out and (ugh) ate somebody! (I had to close my eyes on that last one.
In agreeing with most people here,it's fantastic! As for it's sequels,I don't care much for sequels and most likely wont watch them. I like to leave well enough alone. This one stands alone and well enough on it's own!
