Bombs away.

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2017)

Recently, a close friend of mine that I have known for almost fifteen years revealed to me that he had never seen this movie. Yes, the biggest sci-fi fan I have ever known had NOT seen Jurassic Park, perhaps the greatest sci-fi film of all time.
I'm not much of a scientist, but I am aware that this production is riddled with scientific errors. And my response to that is quite simply, who cares? Like honestly, who cares? As a kid, this and 'Small Soldiers' were two films I watched over and over on repeat. Today, I don't know how well I could handle the latter, but I will never lose confidence in my love for Jurassic Park. In fact, I believe I have loved it more as the years have gone on and that there were things I appreciate about it now that I didn't pick up on as a kid (e.g. the moral debate about recreating dinosaurs etc).
This film engages from start to finish, bringing in a great range of characters and creatures that all tie in to a well directed plot. Even now, the raptor-kitchen scene gets me as tense as it did the first time I watched it. I could watch the first T-Rex scene over and over too.
My only regret is that I was born in 1992, meaning I was barely a year old when this film was released. Thus, I can never appreciate what it must have been like to go to Jurassic Park upon its original release which I'm sure must have been phenomenal for its day. In summary, I love this film and always will. Truthfully, I can't see a better dinosaur- related sci- fi film EVER emerging, ever.
