"Life finds a way… to let us enjoy dinos in theaters." Wealthy businessman John Hammond (played by Richard Attenborough) is preparing to launch a dinosaur-themed amusement park. He brings in some specialists to reassure his financial backers. During an advance showing, things quickly spiral out of control. While ‘Jurassic Park’ isn't complex enough to be considered a flawless film, it represents blockbuster filmmaking at its peak. Spielberg immediately grabs your attention and you realize you’re about to experience something intense. The plot is straightforward but well-executed. Author Michael Crichton put considerable effort into making the dinosaur cloning seem believable. It doesn’t take much imagination to envision problems arising when you have live, enormous predators in an entertainment venue—things can go wrong very quickly. The movie succeeds because it doesn't try to be overly serious. The characters aren’t fully developed, but their role is essentially to become dinosaur food. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) isn’t particularly helpful, though he provides some humor. Grumpy Dr. Grant (Sam Neill) serves as a good foil. It’s easy to find yourself wanting these people to succeed. What truly distinguishes the movie are the innovative special effects. Even now, it's impressive what ILM and Stan Winston’s team accomplished. While a strategy similar to ‘Jaws’ might have been even more effective (the shot of the T-rex’ leg in the mud is great), the dinosaurs appear incredibly realistic. ‘Jurassic Park’ shares one thing with 'Jaws': John Williams' musical score. Although not as unsettling or memorable as the music from 'Jaws', Williams aimed for a sense of awe this time. It may not be his most celebrated work, but it’s remarkable. When the experts visit the island, Williams’ score truly conveys that feeling of wonder. The moment when the visitors first see the dinosaurs is pure cinematic magic. Re-released to celebrate its 25th anniversary, it's fair to say we haven't often had as much fun at the movies as we did watching 'Jurassic Park'.
