Synopsis
Steven Spielberg directed this blockbuster thriller based on the popular book by Michael Crichton. Millionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) asks two dinosaur experts (Laura Dern and Sam Neill) to act as consultants on his entrepreneurial endeavor--an amusement park with DNA-cloned live dinosaurs as the main attraction. The paleontologists, along with a mathematician (Jeff Goldblum) and Hammond's two grandchildren, takes a run-through tour of the park. But soon the joyride turns to terror when an impending hurricane, an unscrupulous engineer (Wayne Knight), and the rebelling dinosaurs begin to destroy the park. Spielberg considered the most popular star of the film to be a computer-generated Tyrannosaurus rex. The special effects in general are spectacular. As Hollywood's preeminent director, Spielberg was used as a kind of financial savior for Universal Studios, which was hurting economically prior to the dinosaurian venture. Spielberg made a deal with Universal--his dream project, Schindler's List, would be green-lighted if he agreed to make JURASSIC PARK for the studio first. By the time Schindler's List premiered in December 1993, Jurassic Park, which had been released six months earlier, had broken E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial's worldwide box-office record.

Customer Reviews

DONT GET JUSSIC PARK 3 GET THE ORINGNAL
I think jussic park 1 is the best dont buy the 3rd film cause the 3rd film lacks

Should be buried along with the Dinosaurs
This film is silly! Taking the preposterous notion of recreating something like a dinosaur from ages old DNA is just a warping of scientific theory, not fact. Also, who says what colour dinsaurs were? The not so special effects that every one raved about are terrible, actors pretending that something is there that isn't only to be superimposed later is poorly done. Roger Rabbit and Bob Hoskins did it well as Roger had to act as though Bob was there when he wasn't and did really well, proper eye contact too. No, Jurassic park is badly scripted, based on poor science, badly acted and cheap looking. Don't waste your time and money on this over-hyped cheese. For a better exploration of the dinosaur look at Baby.

The real show stopping plot hole...
which few noticed was: how did the T Rex just suddenly and quietly appear waiting to jump out and scream BOO! in the main JP display room near the end-even if there were an entrance to accomadate it, its arrival would have been well heard in advance.

Why spend all the money on accuracy and realisim-then have an idiot-driven plot device(adv: where the main characters do idiotic/unrealistic things to keep the plot moving)
