Just when you thought it was safe to clone dinosaurs...

Jurassic Park (1993)

Directed by Steven Spielberg this film based on the novel of the same name stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough. Disaster strikes at a wildlife park on an island in the Caribbean where dinosaurs have been cloned.

At the time of release this film was a smash hit as it does a great job of mixing physical and computer effects to instil a real sense of wonder in the audience with respect to the dinosaurs in the story. The plot is fairly average “don't mess with what you don't understand” stuff and a little weak on the character development side but does at least attempt to look at the issues involved with cloning extinct spices. There are some changes from the novel but the film contains some iconic sequences and a great cast that really have to be seen at least once.


5/5
