Re: "Jurrasic Park"

rico,

I last saw this in the cinema when newly released and though I had been quite reluctant to see it as a kind of "Jaws 11: this Time it's prehistoric", I did fall for this one. This was the first movie in which I felt the dinosaurs were given really naturalistic form, colours, sounds, and movements. I'm not knowledgable, but these fellows rang true as I'd not seen it before. The sounds were a wonderful addition. The story of the Disneyland that eats the visitor was goofy as hell and with many contrivances along the lines of those idiots in horror movies that are magnetically drawn to walking into dark basements when they hear moans and blood dripping, but overall the effects carried the show. I did enjoy seeing the fat traitor computer geek get Raptorized.

The sequels were silly and repetitious.

An aside, but Jurrasic Park was topped for me by the excellent Disovery Channel "Walking with Dinosaurs" which is a more complete depiction of the environment and behaviours- and without humans ruining the show. I should like that one on the big screen.

Cheers,

Bambi B
