Pure Magic!

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 1999)

I saw this movie when I was ten and it scared the heck out of me! Then I bought it on video the first day it was released at my video store. I watched it that night, and every night after that. I could not get enough of that movie. My brother and sister watched it with me most of the nights, but was never as faithful as I was to Spielberg's great masterpiece. I still watch it. Spielberg has obviously done something so wonderful that although the suspense subsides after the first few viewings, the film was such an experience that I can still to this day remember how I felt during my first screening. In that cheap theater in the small town sitting next to my dad and best friend, watching in terror as the T-Rex slowly rose out of the trees. This film, to a ten year old, is absolutely horrifying. It was the suspense, the magic, the fact that this film (unlike any other) actually stimulates my imagination. I bought all the toys and played with them until their joints were lose. I bought all the Jurassic Park memorabilia. And to this day, that film still incites my magic in my heart. Spielberg, thank you for a film that I've cherished since the first time I saw it, and will cherish until the last time.
