Chewing up history with thrills and spills

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2012)

SEEING this movie again, 19 years after it hit the big screens, makes me appreciate Spielberg's talent even more. 'Jurassic' was the 'King Kong' of our time, and a character in the movie even makes a reference to the great ape.
Spielberg should convert this into a 3D movie, instead of letting his buddy, George Lucas, put us through the torture of watching the first Star Wars prequel in 3D.
Spielberg's examination of humans wanting to control nature through science is exhilarating, as is its consequences.
In fact, the theme is similar to James Cameron's 'The Terminator' (1984), which is about human's lust for development and dependence on machines.
Goldblum's chaos theorist character is rakish and fun, and the dinosaur scenes still keep me tingling.
The tycoon's 'spared no expense' line is an indictment of rich people thinking they can solve or do anything if they had tonnes of money.
