Film Jurassic Park. One of the BEST FILMS i have ever seen
I love the JP series. Especially the first one. The only one i hated. (Which is hard for me to hate a JP movie) was JP 3. That movie was awful.
But anyways lets get on with the review. Imagine Dinosaurs. Imagine a park with dinosaurs. Now imagine a park break down and dinosaurs run crazy while there are people on the island. You have Jurassic Park! The movie was a smash hit. It was so big it even had a freaking game series which is still continuing. The last one in the game series is Jurassic Park by Telltale Games.
Jurassic Park begins with a suttle opening. Workers are putting in what seems like a Raptor into a cage. Thats when all hell breaks loose and one of the workers is eaten. Note that wasn't a spoiler. Its been shown everywhere. I think it was also shown in trailers. Our cast is perfect. 2 Paleontologists who are eager for Dino Bones. A strange man named Ian Malcolm (Played By Jeff Goldblum) and a old man who owns the park named Dr John Hammond (Played by Richard Attenborough) He was shown in both the first and second movies of the series. Anyways we have a short dino cast. The dinosaurs shown in the first movie are A Raptor, Trex, Brachiosaurus, Gallimus, I believe compy's make an appreance and finally a Dilo. The movie begins with the cast entering 2 chevys. Painted in a JP theme which is orange and green. Its basically a ride/tour. Skipping on the cars break down and are stuck at a trex pen. This is where spoilers enter so i can't go as far as from here. All i can say is the Trex breaks out and destroys the cars. But the cast (except for the Lawyer) lives.
That was alot to type. But this movie was awesome. Tons of words can make out what i think about this movie. One of them is Awesome and Blockbuster. This movie got tons of positive reviews. Why Not? It was directed by the Movie Mastermind Steven Spielburg.
If you haven't seen this movie. Go watch it RIGHT NOW!
Film Jurassic Park (The book)
After a childhood growing up with dinosaurs (not literally) thanks to Jurassic Park, my curiosity led me to purchase the book that started it all. And Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton was a worthwhile read, both despite and because of the differences from the film.
Fans of the movie will find themselves first in a strange prologue about InGen's filing for bankruptcy and escaped compys. Right after that the first half of the plot has few surprises and proceeds mostly the same. This may cause a bad case of Get On With It Already, as the "they're making dinosaurs" secret is kept up for much longer. Additionally the identity of Nedry as The Mole is kept secret until halfway through the story, so a nasty case of It Was His Sled will ensue. Despite this, numerous elemental changes have been made that will surprise. Tim and Lex's ages have been reversed, Gennaro is more sympathetic, Grant has a beard and likes kids, Hammond is greedier, there are two t-rexes, only five species have frog DNA, etc. There's also a lot more technical data and chaos theory monologues, which may bore you the first time but be worth a reread later.
But these little changes pile up until the second half of the book is nothing like the film's. Malcolm's wound is much more serious and the technicians are scurrying all over trying to figure out what next went wrong. Grant and co must battle through the island. All must flee from the raptors while they struggle to get the power back on, and additionally warn a boat accidentally carrying raptors. The last subplot about finding the raptor nest so they can tell how many escaped sets in Ending Fatigue and comes to nothing as the island gets bombed moments later. Still, this part is more exciting because the odds pile up so much that you can't guess what'll happen next.
So which is better? The book closes up more of the film's plot holes and gives much greater detail overall, vs the film where everything broke because of one betrayal. This improves its Aesop about how controlling nature is impossible, because it shows much was breaking already. On the other hand, the movie beats the book on spectacle and wonder. A picture is worth a thousand words, they say, and 5 minutes of watching a T-rex rampage beats reading a rampage by miles. So give them both a try. They complement each other.
