Jurassic Park is a movie that I grew up watching. I remember loving this movie when it came out in 1993. I was 7. I think it was a pretty big movie when it came out because I remember all my friends had it on vhs. I was fascinated by dinosaurs when I was younger. I have to admit they are pretty awesome. Jurassic Park gave viewers a glimpse of what the world might be like if dinosaurs still existed. The story is a pretty classic adventure tale of an archeologist couple digging up dinosaur bones. The twist is when they discover a man is creating an amusement park filled with real dinosaurs. They go to the park to see if its for real. Anyone who has seen this movie knows that the computer programmer guy (Newman from Seinfeld.... hello, Newman) sabotages the security system and the dinosaurs get loose. The humans become the hunted prey of the dinosaurs.
The special effects and makeup in this movie are good, especially for the time. The dinosaurs look believable. One part that always had me on the edge of my seat was when they hear the pounding sound and then the water in the cup starts to shake. Then the massive t rex appears trapping the kids in their jeep and trying to get to them AHH! The music in this movie really has a way of enhancing the suspense. It also enhances the sense of epic adventure.
I didn't even notice until I just watched this recently that Samuel L. Jackson is in this movie! I wonder if this was one of his favorite roles? :) Overall good job Steven Spielberg. This will always be one of my favorites.
