Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park, if you were a kid when you first watched this masterpiece of a movie you are lucky because you have fond memories of the movie and even trying to recreate it with action figures. With the reboot "Jurassic World" on the horizon lets take alook at how it started.

Jurassic Park is the story of Alan Grant, a scientist sent to an island where a billionaire John Hammond has created a theme park littered with dinosaurs created through genetic manipulation and along with Dr Ian Malcolm they are wanted to take a trial run of the park to approve of it when the power goes out and things go terribly wrong. Thats all ill say of the story.

This movie is just a kids dream. The acting from sam niel and jeff goldblum along with others is great. Goldblum really knows how to play a sarcastic asshole well. The music is amazing, when you have a soundtrack done by John Williams the same composer from star wars your bound for some memorable music, the theme song along is magical and brings back so much nostalgia.

The cinematography as well is amazing, the way the camera pans and shows wide fields with dinosaurs roaming is great and the way that the tention is built for the T-Rexs apearence through the camera work is great, the scene with the puddle rippling is chilling.

Overall this is just a classic movie and one of my favourites with great acting camera work and music. Hopefully the reboot can recapture that feeling for a newer generation not as familiar with the original and at the same time provide more great memories for fans of the series.

9/10
