Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park is an amazing film adaptation of the best-selling novel by Michael

Crichton, which revolutionized special effects in movies. The story concerns a tropical

island, which is the home to living Dinosaurs, brought back by way of DNA. The multi-

millionaire, John Hammond, who owns the island, invites paleontologist Dr. Grant,

paleobotanist Dr. Sattler, mathematician Ian Malcolm, and Hammonds two

grandchildren, Tim and Lex to the island to experience his future theme park.

When Jurassic Park first came out, many people said that it was masterpiece of film making. However, the only way to tell if Jurassic Park is in fact a great movie is by evaluating the standards of which great movies must live up to. In this essay, the following standards will be evaluated for Jurassic Park: the plot, visual effects, acting, and the message the movie sends.

The message that Jurassic Park sends is made very clear in the beginning of the movie through the character of Ian Malcolm.

As the power goes out the visitors to the island get stuck in the middle of the T-Rex pen. The three are then accompanied by Ian Malcolm, and a lawyer sent to investigate this mysterious island. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously, but life finds a way. His character would have been more believeable if he would have shown more fasination with the scientific break through that was Jurassic Park. The attention to detail that such a park required was simply overwhelming for the scientists. Grant and Dern plays the part of Dr. Though Jurassic Park sends the message quite elaborately, it was not the first movie to send this message. Jeff Goldblum, who plays Ian Malcolm is slightly less convincing. This is where the suspense picks up again and remains throughout the rest of the movie. For the better half of the beginning of the movie, Ian Malcolm stresses the importance of his chaos theory, reiterating that man cannot assume control over an unpredictable and complex sysem, such as nature.

Magnificent direction by a master of movie fantasy Steven Spielberg, along with amazing special effects make this a captivating, roller coaster ride with plenty of suspense. Then they are offered a chance to join multimillionaire John Hammond to his island.
