This is one of the few movies on the list that I had never seen until I wrote this blog and that was really interesting for me to see a movie that came out just after I was born. Seeing the way that graphics have changed and how technology has developed in the last decade is really cool and interesting.
So the plot is very much the same as other movies there is a rich guy that decides to use his money to make something that no one has ever seen before and low and behold there is one of his workers that just doesn’t like that. Even though it was unintentional the “bad guy” in this case shuts off all the power in the theme park while trying to steal some dinosaur embryos and in the process lets all the dinosaurs out and they go crazy.
The main part of this movie is the fact that they have brought these outsiders to the island and now these issues have arose and nobody knows what to do to protect themselves. The dinosaurs have gone on a killing spree. They tear up everything and everyone in their path.
This is all a phenomenon to the guests; they can’t believe that this is even possible that the dinosaurs can really be here. Not only the fact that they are back but that they are real that it’s no hoax. It’s something new, something different, and something out of this world.
I mean how many little kids when they are little play with dinosaur toys and pretend that they are real. When they go to the museum one of the first things I remember coming out of a little kids mouth was “I want to see the dinosaurs!” and they wish that they could see one in real life. Better yet it’s not just little boys but little boys and girls that want to see these huge beasts come to life and they use their imaginations to do so. You can only imagine the reaction that fanatics have to this unimaginable feat coming to life in the movie. Unfortunately it was kind of a violent movie so the idea of little kids seeing it is a little bit out of the question. For those of us that were once kids however this is like a dream come true, other then the fact that the dinosaurs are devouring people, it’s pretty awesome.
This movie I would have to say is so down on the rankings just because it is kind of a one track movie. There are dinosaurs and gore. Not really to heavy of gore but fighting and people being eaten and well there isn’t really much to be left to the imagination with this movie. They did a great job I mean I’m no dinosaur aficionado but I thought that for the time that the movie was made the dinosaurs looked pretty real and accurate. This to me is pretty surprising after seeing other movies from the same time, in other words they seemed to be ahead of their time in what they were doing with the technology. Other then that the movie doesn’t have a lot going for it in my opinion.
The main points to me are fighting for survival, action, adventure, and fantasy. Yep that’s about it. I mean it’s difficult to have range with such a straight forward movie like this but it was bland in the intellectual sense. For those of you out there that don’t like to be surprised I wouldn’t watch it and that is the reason that I never saw it before this. I’m not a big fan of scary movies and having a big scary dinosaur fly at you while you are trying to get away, well it made me jump every time that the dinosaur came out of nowhere. So there was a lot to me that appealed to male population but not so much for the females or youths that might have thought that it would be an interesting movie to see.
There was a lot to this movie but there was a lot that it lacked as well. IMDB gave it a 7.9/10 which I think constitutes it to deserve the $357,067,947 that it made. As for me I give it a 7/10 just because I think that there are certain things that they should have done or added to make the movie more viable for a greater range of people.
