Dinosaurs done the right way

Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2017)

There have been a few big dinosaur movies over the years but anyone will remember this one first and for a long time. Spielberg really takes you for a ride with this one, and the animals look very real and very dangerous. It's deep, intriguing, and ultimately a classic blockbuster sci fi experience.
The premise is that a man creates an island of cloned dinosaurs as an amusement park. Things go awry however thanks to the weakness of human corruption and bad safety fence maintenance. The dinosaurs, as you may guess, are pitted against the visitors in a harrowing struggle for survival. People are killed, dinosaurs are killed, the whole mess becomes an amazing cinematic adventure.
The scale of the film is vast, reflecting the immense nature of the animals and scope of the park creator's vision. The characters are believable, and their intense experience is played well by the actors. The special effects are spectacular, and still hold up to this day. The action is harrowing and gives Spielberg more notches to add to his directing belt.
This film lives up to its expectations and then some. It is an epic sci fi adventure that puts you right in the middle of the action and creates an amazing and terrifying world. Perhaps bringing dinosaurs back to life is not the best idea in the world, and this realization quickly dawns on the characters, but it does make for some incredible cinema.
