Not Made to Last

Rating: 3/10 (25 October 2014)

Jurassic Park doesn't hold up against the test of time. Looking back at the plot you realize there barely is one. The movie establishes a good premise early on, but it doesn't succeed in exploring the possibilities that come along with it. The movie is really just a vehicle for the idea behind it instead of having a plot that succeeds in reaching all opportunities that the premise allows. A great example of a movie that does this is The Truman Show. It was very original from the start and had a plot that helped its premise stretch its legs. Jurassic Park's creators' only objective was to make money off of the world they set up around the movie. Second after that in their mind was to make a good movie. Hey, at least the special effects were good (for the time).
