Steven Spielberg and Micheal Crichton team up together to give life to the Jurassic dinosaurs and make them walk on this earth after billions of years. Spielberg has come out of the ordinary commercial cinema to showcase science in a technology filled drama.
Plus Points:
1) Fantastic storyline: The story revolves around a scientific discussion on the attempts of genetic re engineering and cloning for commercial purposes. The usual fight between a scientist and a businessman has been captured brilliantly and the commercialisation of the technology has been questioned in a shrewd and emphatic way.
2) Well adapted script: Normally it takes a lot to visualise and deliver a movie which matches the brilliance of a widely acclaimed novel. Spielberg and Crichton have done it at quite ease taking it closer to a common man who is not a science savvy. The thrilling moments of the movie keeping the viewer spellbound for more than 2 hours make the movie exciting and likable.
3) Graphics: Amazing graphics and animatronics lab work show the strength of Hollywood to be used in a controlled and brilliant manner
Minus Points:
1) Genre change: I am disappointed at the science portions being cornered. For example, in the original novel, the chaos theory is explained in a very beautiful manner but I understand that it has to take a beating here since the audiences are not exactly same between novel and the movie.
This is a must watch movie for all the cinema lovers. In effect, this will go down as one of the greatest and evergreen movies of the 90's.
