Film of the Week : Jurassic Park



1993 saw the release of my favorite film of all time, Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park". Featuring performances from Richard Attenborough, Sam Niell, Jeff Goldblum & Samuel L. Jackson. This film tells a story "65 million years in the making". The N-GEN corporation have brought Dinosaurs to life through the use of genetic material found in mosquitoes stuck in Amber. The Dinosaurs are kept on a remote island theme park which is where the story and our protagonist Dr Alan Grant, among others finds himself.

Also worth stating that the combination of Steven Speilberg, Stan Winston Studios and John Williams makes this a feast for the senses. One of the first cases of CGI in a film, originally they were going to use stop motion. Having said that even nearly 20 years on it's only just starting to date in terms of visuals. Absolutely well worth your time if you haven't seen this you just should. Enjoy!
