Review
Steven Spielberg's modern classic summons everything a summer blockbuster package should have - an interesting 'man vs. God' platform in the form of bringing the dinosaurs back from extinction, Spielberg's unique touch of action-adventure infused mayhem and the astonishingly ground-breaking visual effects that incorporates both the usage of practical, life-like animatronics and beautiful CG effects that had seemed to be way ahead of its time back then. Memorable catchphrases and iconic moments aside, the Michael Crichton novel adaptation explores the dynamic relation in between the co-existence of dinosaurs and human, thus inducing provocative ideas and challenging theories regarding such genetically engineered circumstances. The characters, especially Neill's Indiana Jones-inspired paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant and Goldblum's chaos theorist Ian Malcolm, are endearing figures that we've come to know and love in the franchise. Lastly, who would forget John Williams' nostalgic Jurassic Park theme accompanying the picturesque bird's eye view of Isla Nublar? Such grandeur scale in modern filmmaking is what made the Jurassic world a gem in its own right.
