Amazing graphics and excellent plot make Jurassic Park a winner.

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2002)

I am writing a new review because my previous one does not go as in depth as I'd have liked it to.
I love Jurassic Park, simply because of its sheer genius and creative storytelling. Finally somebody has done it correctly. I'm not just talking about the prehistoric animals that are shown here, I'm also talking about the excellent plot and character development. And, of course, the music.
The plot is not quite as simple as you'd think. It's not a story in which the animals simply get loose and go on a rampage. No, Jurassic Park is much more than that, with several subplots that, rather than tying you into a web, simply keep you interested by holding everything together.
The CGI is simply amazing. Tying it into real life must have been difficult, yet the animators did a superb job. I was impressed at how smoothly these animals moved, how realistic they seemed although nobody living has seen one. Seamless integration always catches my attention.
The actors are a major factor of this movie. Jeff Goldblum is perfect as the twitty scientist who knows more than everybody thinks he does. Sam Neill, too, is perfect for his role as Alan Grant. The other actors, though not as amazing as these two, hold up their own characters excellently.
The music, composed by John Williams, has an excellent theme. Probably one of the greatest in the century. It could almost be a love theme, but strays from the sappy tunes and goes to a mysterious, joyful tune of admiration for these animals that will enthrall any listener.
Jurassic Park is most definitely one of my most favorite movies of all time. It combines science and logic with nature and survival. It isn't a brainless killing spree. No, it's an intellectual dive into the modern nature of our own world.
My advice? Watch it. Buy it on DVD. It's nearly perfect.
