The effects are so good

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2007)

Very few films have the capability to be carried by their visual effects and editing alone. Jurassic Park is, however, one such film and despite now being nearly fourteen years old the CGI still look superior to those in not only subsequent films in the series (especially the third one) but also CGI in later films. Jurassic Park is truly a film that can be watched simply for it's eye-candy.
That said though Sam Niell and Jeff Goldblum are pretty amusing as the I-told-you-so scientists. Whilst the cast as a whole is happy to accept that they simply ain't the film's stars.
Overall I REAL thrill ride that succeeds at leaving on the edge of your seat, yeah the plot may be ridiculous but who cares? When the action is on a level not seen before and on only a few occasions since.
