Coolest movie ever!

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2003)

Monster pictures don't get any better than this, especially if it's a Steven Spielberg movie. Throughout the years, Spielberg has made some of the most impressive fairy tales involving creatures from "E.T.", and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" where the main characters experience an 'ooh' and 'ahh' moment where their imagination drives them out of their minds with an accomplish goal.
In "Jurassic Park," a billionaire named John Hammond (Richard Attenbrouogh) has decided to play with mother nature by bringing the most dangerous animals in the world: dinosaurs. He pays to keep an abandoned island called Isla Nublar where he decides to bring his own theme park of dinosaurs to life for which he wants to bring in paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), lawyer Donald Gennero (Martin Ferrero) and theorist Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) to evaluate what they think about the island.
When we first see the island with the Brachiosaurus walking and eating from a tree, we are stunned to see a creature like never before come to the 20th century. Even when we see a herd of herbivores walking together towards a lake, we see the scene full of grace and wonder to see that it's not such a bad idea after all to have creatures on the face of this earththink again.
In the film, the scientists and the theorist tell Hammond that it's a bad idea to bring creatures like dinosaurs into the 20th century where they have no idea where they are at and will destroy everything in their paths. Yet, Hammond wants to bring his dream to reality to attract the main audience: children. Hammond invites his grandkids Lex (Ariana Richards) and Tim (Joseph Mazzelo) to see what they think of the park; yet, Grant hates the idea of being a father. He even tells Ellie that kids are noisy, smelly and expensive.
The people inside the Jurassic Park control room are Robert Muldoon (Bob Peck) who is the game warden who knows everything about the Raptors and fears that they do more harm than the main attraction, the T-Rex; Ray Arnold (Samuel L. Jackson) is one of the computer technicians along with Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight of "Seinfeld") who needs to get the embryos of every dinosaur species in order to get three million dollars and decides to shut down the security system in order to get the embryos.
As much as I gave away some of the plot of the film, what I liked about the film was the special effects and how ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) brought the dinosaurs to life. Jurassic Park may not have the best story line, but there is one thing that gets this film going: the nightmares of extinct dinosaurs coming to life.
