Jurassic Park
Directed By: Steven Spielberg
Well I've just finished reading the book and decided to give the movie a re-watch. I've always loved the Jurassic Park Trilogy, i think it's a childhood thing because I've always loved Dinosaurs. From a very young age, even to this day I've been fascinated by them. I read the book and thought it was pretty amazing, i think it was alot darker and more detailed than the movie, but both very good portrayals of Jurassic Park. I've decided to re-watch the whole trilogy and review it on here in my review thread. Obvisouly each movie brings something a little different, and a little better..... But all of them are really enjoyable, and very entertaining.
I remember going to the cinema back when this movie was released. I remember it being very crowded and full of excited kids. I left the cinema thinking that was the most entertaining, and exciting movie I'd ever seen, I actually don't even know how I can remember because I was only 7 years old.... Shows how great this movie is a suppose. Jurassic Park is one of those movies that will keep that magic, it will always be entertaining and exciting, even 20 years from now it will still be considered a great.
Jurassic Park is a movie over 20 years old now, and it still looks amazing. Everything Spielberg did in this movie is magical. The park, The Dinosaurs, every single detail looks and feels fantastic. Every thump of a T-Rex has your heart pounding, every little scene has you waiting in suspense, it's like Jaws but more frightening. Steven Spielberg is a master at Suspense, and this is his masterpiece. Jurassic Park is the monster of monster movies, it's every kids dream park that goes terrifyingly wrong, and what we witness is one fantastic movie, and one entertaining nightmare.

Trivia:
William Hurt was offered the role of Dr. Grant, but he turned it down without reading the book or the script.
Harrison Ford turned down the role of Dr. Alan Grant.
Director Steven Spielberg was worried that computer graphics meant Nintendo type cartoon quality. He originally only wanted the herd of gallimimus dinosaurs to be computer-generated, but upon seeing ILM's demo animation of a T-rex chasing a herd of galamides across his ranch, he decided to shoot nearly all the dinosaur scenes using this method. The animation was first plotted on an Amiga Toaster, and rendered for the film by Silicon Graphics' Indigo workstations.
