"Jurassic Park"
There's not a whole lot to say about the acting. By no means is it bad, it's just obvious that the actors are not the stars of the film, but the dinosaurs themselves. If there were any actors that stood out, though, it would be Sam Neil, Jeff Goldblum, and the late Richard Attenborough. I always liked Atteborough the most, as he is the man with a vision so great, that it blinds him to the obvious flaws with his park. My favorite scene with him is when he's talking to Sattler about his humble beginnings, and how he wanted to give the people an attraction that was not an illusion, but something that was real and awe inspiring.
The dinosaurs look amazing, and are a perfect example of combining both practical effects and CGI. All of them look amazing. From the Brachiosaurus, the raptors, and of course, the T-Rex. The buildup to the T-Rex's appearance is superb, with the setting being in the middle of a rainstorm, and the small sound of footsteps approaching the car with Hammond's grandchildren in it.
To this day, the T-Rex is still the biggest puppet created by Stan Winston's studio. There's not a whole lot of criticisms I have with the film, other than a few nitpicks revolving around common sense.
That's really nitpicking though, as this is still best described as a popcorn film, which I'm saying as a positive thing. Are my nostalgia goggles shielding me from any other problems with the film? Probably. But, the film still succeeds in presenting likable characters, an entertaining story, and effects that will forever stand the test of time.
