The event that took the world by storm in 1993. Steven Spielberg's story of dinosaurs really set a new standard in terms of special effects. This movie raised the bar on cgi effects. Thank goodness for the dinosaurs, though. If not for them, we would have to pay attention to his untalented cast. Laura Dern and Sam Neill is the worst of the worst in my book. Goldblum and Wayne Knight keep you somewhat interested, but it's those big, bad dinosaurs that easily steals the show.
What Spielberg did in 1993 was remarkable. It seems he always does remarkable things. With this movie, he has spawned special effects into a whole new atmosphere. Movies like Independence Day and Men in Black have benefited from what this movie has accomplished. Spielberg broke his own record for biggest gross by a film in '93 when this movie passed E.T. If you can live with Dern and Neill, the rest of the movie is entertaining. Decent plot and eye-popping effects puts this on par with the sequel, but that doesn't mean it's better. But this movie is getting a high grade for what it accomplished and the groundwork it laid down for future blockbusters, not so much for its material. This is and will probably always be Universal's biggest hit. |
