Great filmmaking

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2014)

Nutty John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has invited Dr. Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Sattler (Laura Dern), Dr. Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), the company lawyer (Martin Ferrero) and his 2 grandkids to test out his Jurassic Park. Hammond has successfully cloned dinosaurs from the blood found in mosquitoes trapped in amber.
It's a thrill ride using the state of the art CGI. The audience at the time would marvel at the realistic CG dinosaurs. It takes about an hour to set up and get to the exciting part. And Spielberg has more than just CGI to get the thrills. His mastery delivers one of the simplest and most iconic shot in the movie, the pulsing water. This and 'Schindler's List' would bookend his great year, and cement his greatest.
