Entertainment at its best

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2000)

Jurassic Park is an extremely entertaining film; it's fun, it's about dinosaurs and the special effects are very convincing. Apart from some major scientific faults (not Crichton's first, I assure you), this film is well worth the time.
There is something of a saga over it, with the bombastic scenery and animals, and the sensitive music parading throughout the film. It's a fairly simple film, too, there being no real antagonists or protagonists - the animals just do what they do, no malice aforethought involved.
After seeing it the first time, I was slightly angry with what has to be one of the most obvious sequel-teasers ever, but I guess there was no chance they weren't going to make a sequel (or two, as it is) - money corrupts artistry.
