Watch Out! T-REX

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2005)

Imagine hearing the line I wrote above. That is exactly what Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) hears while stranded on an island near Costa Rica. Jurassic Park was a breakthrough in filming, visual effects, and story line adaptation.
John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) is a millionaire planning to open a top-of-the-line amusement park like no other. His main feature are dinosaurs. To get the lawyers of his back he invites a variety of people ranging from a representative from a law firm suing him (Donald Genarro-Martin Ferrero, a mathematician (Ian Malcolm-Jeff Goldblum), and Dr. Sattler(Laura Dern) and Dr. Alan Grant, who are paleontologist. but all goes wrong while on the tour when a computer nerd shuts down the island an the Tyrannosours Rex, Velociraptors, and 'Spitters' escape and attack the guests. The sole goal of the guests now is to get off the island with their lives.
The film was a major advancement in visual effects and animatronics. Film crews actually building a T-Rex and designers virtually building velociraptors. The scenes are beautifully shot and filled with action. The film is a little intense for children even though they may love dinosaurs. The book I am currently reading and is close to film. The film is great in my opinion but the studio should have stopped after this one.
Jurassic Park. Starring: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Bob Peck, and Martin Ferrero.
4 1/2 out 5 Stars.
