    • Trivia
      This movie and the book generated so much interest in dinosaurs that the study of paleontology has had a record increase in students.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 3 mins) When they arrive at the T. rex cage right before the black out, we can clearly see the ground inside the cage is approximately flush with that outside the cage. But when the T. rex escapes and begins to terrorize the two trucks, the ground in the cage is shown to be at least 100 feet below where it was before.
    • Quotes

      John Hammond: All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!

      Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but, John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

    • Crazy credits
      When it says "A Steven Spielberg film" at the end of the movie, listen closely. You will hear the slightly modified five tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977).
    • Alternate versions
      The mainland Chinese release of the 3D version (the original version was not released there) deletes the following:
      • The goat chunk splattering against the tour jeep and Lex's subsequent reaction.
      • Gennaro in the T-Rex's mouth.
      • Dr. Satler's discovery of Arnold's severed arm.
      • The raptor pouncing on Muldoon.

    A Groundbreaking, Heart Stomping, Dino Sized film
    In the year 1993, Hollywood saw something unlike anything else, the film Jurassic Park. Never before 1993 had dinosaurs been so breathtaking and realistic on the silver screen.

    The plot is very original. A group of scientists cloned dinosaurs, and are about to open an amusement park where people can see the dinosaurs. The creator John Hammond(Richard Attenborough) invites a group of people, along with his grandchildren, to see the dinos and enjoy a relaxing time at the park. Could anything go wrong, at the time it doesn't seem like it, but something else is going on. Employee Dennis Nedry is planning to steal dinosaur embryos. In order to do this, he causes a security breakdown so he can get the embryos and escape. He isn't the only one that can escape, as hungry dinos also escape. After this, everyone on the island is in danger, and loose dinosaurs are everywhere. That is where the fun in Jurassic Park comes in.

    This is an underrated movie according to the IMDb ratings. It isn't even in the top 250. Today, people don't appreciate it as much, mainly due to the fact that other movies like it have been made. Growing up in the 90's, this was one of my favorite movies. As a kid, I only watched it to see the dinosaurs, as I didn't understand a whole lot of it. Today, I realize how great the plotting and suspense are.

    This spawned two sequels. The second one wasn't bad, but the third wasn't very good. I would recommend seeing the second after this, but the third is passable.

    The story is great, how at first we see how the magic was created, and then later we see the magic turn into a disaster, in which everyone's life is at stake.

    The special effects are still good today, but they were revolutionary for back in 1993. The acting is good, and the ensemble cast is great. All of the action sequences are perfectly executed, creating plenty of suspense and tension.

    Younger kids may get scared by this, as I remember a lot of young kids being scared by it in 1993. If kids aren't scared by dinosaurs, they will probably enjoy the movie.

    I highly recommend Jurassic Park. It is quite underrated in my opinion, it deserves more credit than it gets.

    Watch this at all costs if you have somehow missed it and see what everyone was amazed about back in 1993.

    Enjoy

    FAQ33

    • What kind of machine was used at the digsite in Snakewater Montana?
    • Did Malcolm intentionally mean to get Gennaro killed by the T-rex by leading him to the outhouse?
    • Muldoon describes one of the raptors as "the big one". While all three raptors are never seen onscreen together, they all seem to be exactly the same size.
