Jurassic Park
Zoos are sometimes fun places to visit. Getting to see how animals react in an environment and just getting to witness some animals that you won't see in your back yard. However, is a zoo full of dinosaurs a good idea? Let's find out.
On a dark and rainy night, a bunch of guys release some kind of animal into a cage. This animal is let out and eats one of the workers. Zoom ahead some time later and a lawyer has come to see how some miners are doing. The miners find some amber containing a bug. In a different location, we find our main character, Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), and his girlfriend, Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), digging up dino bones with their team. A man named John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has come to speak to the two doctors about visiting his little park. The two agree and the next day, they're found on a helicopter ride along with Dr. Ian Malcom (Jeff Goldblum) and Donald Gennaro (Martin Ferrero). They travel to an island out in the middle of the ocean. Once they land, John takes them out into the wilderness of the island to show them his creation. John has managed to successfully bring dinosaurs back to life. The group is astounded by this landmark in science and ask John how he did it. So he takes them back to his office to show them. He explains that the dinosaurs were created by obtaining the DNA found in fossilized mosquitoes that had sucked the blood of dinosaurs and replacing the gaps with frog DNA. The group then rushes off to see a baby Velociraptor hatch. So now John is hoping that the other Dr.s will help him keep his dinosaur park so that others can enjoy it.
For starters, the dinosaurs look simply breathtaking. It's almost impossible to tell the difference between the animatronics and the CG. From the very first sight of a dinosaur that seems to reach to the high heavens, each one becomes more and more breathtaking. The movements of every inch of their body is fluid, whether for breathing or walking. As for the explanation of how they created these dinosaurs, they really make it sound believable. It's wonderfully told and even better executed. These moments of the dinosaurs walking and the eggs hatching really create some awe inspiring scenes. Then there's the action sequences. The very first one is built up remarkably well. There's the vibrating water and the sounds of gigantic footsteps from nowhere. Finally, out of nowhere, we see a giant T-Rex head. This becomes an incredibly memorable experience, but there's many more like it afterwards, each unique and memorable in their own rights.
However, not everything is perfect with this zoo. The characters aren't really that interesting. The real show here is the dinosaurs, which really shows since the characters just don't seem like anything special. The one guy that I really can't stand is Jeff Goldblum. I've never been a big fan of the guy. He just keeps stuttering and saying "Uh uh uh" a million times in every sentence. It's like he forgot his lines and needs to keep being told what to say, so he says "Uh" just to keep from looking like a complete idiot. Other than that, all my other problems are just minor.
So should you watch Jurassic Park? Of course. This movie is certainly a landmark in movie history. The CG is remarkable and definitely needs to be witnessed.
