Jurassic Park

Rating: 5/10 (25 October 2009)

There's a thing about films that are based excessively on special effects: they age quickly as the technology of special effects progresses. That's how it is with "Jurassic Park", which made a sensation when it came out because of the special effects, but the same special-effects look painfully ordinary now.
So, putting the effects aside, as a film this is pretty bad. In the first hour pretty much nothing happens, while the second hour is a series of chases (which get boring by the end). In the meantime the message is: god was wise to extinguish the dinosaurs, so how dare you bring them back? Which is the eternal paradox religion-believers find themselves in all the time. Because if god's axiom is the survival of the fittest, then moralistic values have no place in such an axiom.
