Great Film for the Time

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2015)

In light of the fourth installment being released in 2015, let's take a look back at the original 1993 film, Jurassic Park. I still cannot believe it has been more than 20 years!
It was a great triumph of movie-making magic, when in 1993, Steven Spielberg brought dinosaurs back to life. Okay, so he didn't really bring them back, but he made us believe he did. It was an awesome film for the time it came out, very ahead of its time in fact. The technological aspects of the film like the animatronics were state of the art and computer animation in film was still young and controversial.
Laura Dern and Sam Neill were a great addition to the film along with Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough. A well rounded cast along with a superb director made the film a hit in the summer of '93. I only wish that the sequels could have lived up to the expectations of the first installment. Maybe Jurassic World can revive the series! See you at the movies.
