A Majestic Spectacle of Film

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2019)

A game-changing masterpiece in film, Steven Spielberg brings dinosaurs back to life before your eyes with ground-breaking special effects and a genius for intense and exciting film-making. Its not just about having big scary monsters stomping around, Jurassic Park gives the dinosaurs a transfixing majesty and wonder that its sequels would fail to grasp. This film goes beyond being just another monster movie, with more character and more heart than any others in the genre, dealing with themes of ambition and the consequences of playing God with nature. With an exceptional score by the legendary John Williams which further drives home the feelings of swaying melodic wonder, this film may well be the reason I have such high standards when it comes to film.
