Review

Its hard to believe that its 6 years since this film appeared at the cinemas. At the time it was a truly groundbreaking film managing for the first time to portray dinosaurs in an extremely realistic manner unlike those plasticine monsters that we were forced to watch in previous monster movies. Jurassic Park will also be remembered as the movie that finally made George Lucas sit up and realise that it was possible for him to make his prequels.

In hindsight while it is still an extremely well directed and tension filled movie the script did seemed dumbed down in order to appeal to as many people as possible but thats really irrelevant since this film is all about dinosaurs. One of Spielbergs brilliantly directed films it even managed to make me forget Spielbergs previous disaster of a movie do you recall HOOK
