A wonderful movie. Still enjoyable after so many years!

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2009)

Jurassic Park.
I still remember the first time I saw this movie. It was in the cinema in the first week that it was released. Me and my friends were psyched to see it and we also left the theatre, psyched.
From start to finish, this movie delivers an incredible feat.
Steven Spielberg has once again created a world you'll really grow into. With it's characters, the music, atmosphere, humor, scares and of course the biggest stars: the dinosaurs.
Let's start with the acting. What can I say? It's just excellent! There isn't a single character in this movie that I really hate. Okay, except for that one guy; but he gets eaten anyway! Jeff Goldblum steals the show (for me) as the skeptic chaologist??, while Sam Neil, Laura Dern and the two kids give the best portion of the film when it comes to adventure and humor. The rather small role for Samuel Jackson must be noted as well. There are a lot of familiar faces in this movie, if you pay attention.
The music... It's just... time-less. If you close your eyes while listening to the score, you can almost touch the dinosaurs as they march across the vast plains of the Jurassic era. Large and majestic. Almost like an untouchable deity.
You want humor? You'll get it in this movie too! There's tons of it, and no character can escape it, not even the dinosaurs themselves! And then there are scary moments. Oh yes there are... I remember my younger self shivering in the cinema at some scenes. Definitely not a movie for a young kid, despite what people might say. There are some really frightening moments. But if you are at the age of 12 or above, you will enjoy this movie a lot.
My last stop is the dinosaurs. They are brought to the screen with the utmost detail. The way they move, roar, jump, run, climb, bash, slash and bite all feels real.
Two sequels were made for this movie. But this classic tale will forever be locked in my heart. I treasure it deeply.
Jurassic Park receives from me a solid 9 out of 10 stars.
