In Steven Spielberg's massive blockbuster, paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park's mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone that the facility is safe, they find out otherwise when various ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt.

Critics Consensus

Jurassic Park is a spectacle of special effects and life-like animatronics, with some of Spielberg's best sequences of sustained awe and sheer terror since Jaws.

Like many of life’s most worthwhile endeavors, it amazes and petrifies in equal measure.

3/5

The effects… remain movie magic, and as a cautionary tale disguised as an amusement park thrill ride, its intensity is undeniable. Though I’m more drawn to the parallels between Hammond and Spielberg as obsessed visionaries bent on creative control.

7/10

When the prehistoric creatures command the screen in this remarkable new picture, they represent one of the movies' few most striking achievements of their potential as the next best thing to dreaming.

Spielberg treats us as he does his characters, leading us into a strange land and expecting us to make it out with all our faculties intact.

Apart from the spectacle of the VFX, Jurassic Park presents a smorgasbord of amazing set pieces and tense scenarios that takes you out of your chair and transports you to Isla Nublar, off the coast of Costa Rica.

Loved seeing this in the theater again. It's one of the first movies I remembered seeing as a kid and it was great sharing the experience with my niece and nephew who are about the same age I was when it came out. Still holds the same suspense and terror as it did in 1993!

Absolute Classic for a reason. Witty one-liners. Solid plotting and pacing. CGI that's just starting to age. Gruesome deaths... that you don't get to see too much of since it's PG-13. Suspense. Also there's Dinosaurs in it... which like honestly there's surprisingly few of those.

This movie is a classic. It has charm and suspense. Everyone does such a great job with their roles - including the dinosaurs.
