A masterpiece. A must-see!

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2004)

This is quite possibly the greatest movie ever. Why, do you ask? Well, for one, it is a very original idea taken from a well-written novel by an established author (Michael Chrichton). It features extremely well-done props and CGI, especially for its time. The acting was rather good, and it featured some top-notch stars (Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough to name a few).
Should I mention the dinosaurs?! Oh, man, as a dinosaur-loving nut I loved this film! Excellently-rendered brachiosaurs, vicious velicoraptors, and fearsome tyrannosaurs rampage across this tropical isle. The setting is EXCELLENT with sloping, forest-carpeted hills and realistic plains, with well-done bungalows and gift shops dotting the tourist area. The concept of the movie is amazing, and the special-effects are top-notch indeed!
Is there a movie from the 1990's greater than Jurassic Park? Some may argue Titanic, some may argue Shawshank Redemption, others may say Forrest Gump. But this movie had ALL the parts come together! Action, special effects, setting, directing, CGI, robotics, drama, horror....great, great flick.
My only regret is that Muldoon didn't stick around longer!
10/10. Best movie of the 1990's, if not ever!
