18 years after it first appeared in cinemas Jurassic Park was re-released in a shiny new digital print, so of course we had to go and check it out.
brilliant...
I've seen Jurassic Park so many times over the last couple of decades, including at the cinema in 1993, on my friend's pirate video copy (that I taped over with Neighbours...), on VHS, on DVD and now back on the big screen, and it's never looked better. Everything else about the film remains several notches above excellent, from the plot, which complements the sterling source novel, to the cast of fine actors. There's a lot of humour, a lot of suspense, dashings of real terror and awe inspiring special effects. While some of the CGI may not look as pristine as today's efforts, much of it surpasses expectations to remain fresh and real. One of the greatest joys about seeing the film again in the cinema is being able to hear John Williams' epic, magistic, instantly recognisable score blasting out all around. I would probably have been happy to just sit with my eyes shut and listen, since I can probably construct the whole film in my head anyway. Despite the number of times I've seen Jurassic Park, it never gets old. I can find no fault, and each viewing brings further chances to savour the perfectness of the whole and its parts.
briefly...
Quite simply one of the finest films that has ever evolved.
