Did You Know?

Trivia

Whereas in the movie, Dr. Grant claims that T. Rex's vision was based on movement as a fact, in the novel, he was surprised that many dinosaurs only reacted to movement, and this lead him to deduce that there was an error in their cloning processes. Due to the movie being more famous, many laypeople believe that T. Rex's vision was movement-based in reality, but this is incorrect, as it probably had very good vision, as expected from a top predator. See more »

Goofs

When Nedry crashes his Jeep right before his death, the shot shows him hitting an embankment at a steep angle tossing mud from the impact and there are no giant branches to be seen. In the next shot, the embankment is completely nonexistent, a large branch appears behind the rear axle, and the jeep is almost completely horizontal. See more »

As said, the Definitive blockbuster movie
8 June 2005 | by Pythonman – See all my reviews

What can be said about this movie that hasn't already been said? Who knows. We all know that this has some of the greatest special effects, even today. Also, if there's anything that can match the awesome T-Rex, it's the movie's musical score. I swear, listen to it more than once, and you're bound to see the movie yet again, if for that sole reason. It's that powerful. Oh sure, acting isn't this movie's strong suit, but who looks for acting in a Dinosaur thriller? Who?!

Anyway, I think I've made my point. Jurassic Park: One of America's greatest classics. Steven Spielberg created magic with this movie. If you haven't seen it once, you haven't seen it at all.
