The ultimate dinosaur movie

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2015)

This is movie is awesome in every sense of the word. It captured dinosaurs on film like no other. It didn't rely solely on special effects, thankfully. Spielberg made sure to throw in several incredibly tense and thrilling scenes to tie the whole thing together. I mean the climbing up the electric fence scene and the raptors in the kitchen scene are damn near perfect. If those scenes don't get your eyes glued to the screen, then I don't know what will. The music is great too. It's awe inspiring and it makes your hair stand on end. The characters in this movie feel suitably real as well. They all act like real people. Nobody felt like a fake movie character, which was rather nice. This movie also has possibly my favorite child performances of all time. Both of the kids are fantastic. When dinosaurs are coming for them, they look absolutely terrified. They made me believe there were actual dinosaurs chasing them. This film is a classic and I cannot recommend it enough.
