Teeth, claws and a moral message.

Rating: 7/10 (4 September 2001)

This is a terrific movie with an underlying message: things are the way they are for a good reason. I first saw it in the cinema in 1993 and loved every minute. Since then I've tried to watch it every time it's come on TV and have three copies on video (the first two got eaten, velociraptor style, by my partner's VCR). I still love the film's unashamed sense of wonder, personified by several characters including the eccentric John Hammond, and its sense of humour (who, having seen this film, could forget Dr. Malcolm?). Take it from me (and doubtless quite a few others), this film is DEFINITELY worth watching.
