Fun Stuff

Trivia:
In the shots of the gift shop, clearly visible is a book entitled "The Making of Jurassic Park" by Don Shay and Jody Duncan. This title was published but tells the behind the scenes story of how the film was made. Jody Duncan also wrote the "Making Of" book for The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997). more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: On the scene when the T-Rex comes out of his area and walks in front of Dr. Grant and Dr. Malcolm's Explorer, the car and the camera moves on every step of the dinosaur as it is so heavy that he makes small "earthquakes", but the Jurassic Park logo hanging from the mirror doesn't moves at all. more

As said, the Definitive blockbuster movie, 8 June 2005
9/10
Author: Pythonman from United States

What can be said about this movie that hasn't already been said? Who knows. We all know that this has some of the greatest special effects, even today. Also, if there's anything that can match the awesome T-Rex, it's the movie's musical score. I swear, listen to it more than once, and you're bound to see the movie yet again, if for that sole reason. It's that powerful. Oh sure, acting isn't this movie's strong suit, but who looks for acting in a Dinosaur thriller? Who?!

Anyway, I think I've made my point. Jurassic Park: One of America's greatest classics. Steven Spielberg created magic with this movie. If you haven't seen it once, you haven't seen it at all.
