Ahead of its time not only for its VFX.

 

 

A classic we don’t claim the others 

Greatest blockbuster of all time—OF. ALL. TIME. 

 

The iconic score. The iconic lines. The tremendous special effects that still hold up. The exhilarating action set pieces. The masterfully built suspense. The sense that everyone’s lives were genuinely in danger, even though deep down you know they’re not gonna kill off the kids or main cast. The fact that it’s deeply entertaining and kinda hilarious without any lame comic relief characters or bottom-of-the-barrel Marvel jokes. Laura ****ing Dern. A blockbuster that was actually directed (they all used to be!). I don’t know a better movie.

Every subsequent installment in this franchise being mediocre is the price we pay for this original being the greatest movie ever, and it’s worth it.

True 

 

Such a great movie, and it's a shame the sequels couldn't even come close. I wish they had stopped at the first.

 

Although, I actually enjoyed the first Jurassic World, but mostly for the kid actors storyline and to see how they showcased the park in modern times. The last two were horrendous. Chris Pratt must be stopped at any and all costs.

This scene is as close to perfect as it can get. The SUSPENSE, the pitch perfect CGI, the utter stupidity of the little girl (literally doing everything she can to eaten I swear to god). 
 

Iconic iconic iconic movie, arguably THE signature blockbuster

Pratt aside, my biggest complaint about the Jurassic World trilogy is the dinosaurs themselves. They drastically cut back on the herbivores that give the original film some of its iconic “softer” moments, they turned the velociraptor—the best “villain” in the franchise—into a trained puppy, they genetically engineered a bunch of stupid hybrids for the sake of “bigger badder monsters!” when there are still dozens of actual species they could feature, they hardly even bother naming the species they do feature…

 

The franchise lost the magic of Dr Grant laying on the triceratop’s stomach or the kids feeding the brachiosaur, but it also lost the genuine suspense of the raptors in the kitchen / visitor’s center or the trembling water foreboding the t-rex’s approach. It’s basically just lame chase sequences and even lamer jump scares. 

 

See, when you do Jurassictry…

One of the best movies of all time.

Spielberg in 93 released this and Schindlers List. Probably the strongest year for any filmmaker in history based on just that alone 

Happy Bday to this classic 

One of my top 5 movies of all time. 

this is one of my favorite movies I've watched

A classic actually

Laura Dern did that

in money? perhaps.

 

but

Ingmar Bergman, 1957 (The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries)

Francis Ford Coppola, 1974 (The Conversation and The Godfather: Part II)

Alfred Hitchcock, 1954 (Rear Window and Dial M For Murder)

Disagree. The only of those I can see as an argument would be FFC. Schindlers List is one of the most groundbreaking movies ever, and Jurassic Park is THE blockbuster movie. Quite possibly his most famous movie, and it’s Spielberg. Like come on. 

a classic
