One of the biggest movies of all time, "Jurassic Park" is the story of regenerated dinosaurs. John Hammond is the owner of a newly developed dinosaur park, but after an employee is killed in an accident he needs to satisfy lawyer's questions by bringing in a team to prove the park is safe. The team includes dinosaur digger Alan Grant (Sam Neill), his girlfriend, paleontologist Ellie Satler, mathematician Ian Malcolm), and lawyer Donald Gennaro (Martin Ferrero). Another of Hammond's employees, a computer technician named Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) has been hired by an outside organisation to steal dinosaur embryos.
Even though it was adapted from a book, this unique story was destined to become an incredible film. Great casting, decent acting, great special effects, beautiful and perfect score by John Williams, incredible directing. The stars of "Jurassic Park" are definitely the dinosaurs. Mixed with some unbelievably great sound effects, these dinosaurs are some of the most stunning visual effects ever seen and rightfully earned an Academy Award.
