Pros: This film managed to keep my attention for the entire time, which is no small feat and the acting is fine which is good as the cast is packed, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Samuel L. Jackson and BD Wong. And the dinosaur animation is great, they almost seem real.
Cons: I think John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) is one of the dumbest characters is cinematic history. I mean, who would think that having a theme park with actual dinosaurs is a good idea. It is a horrible idea and several people die though that is largely to a greedy employee (Wayne Knight), who is basically the same character here as in Seinfeld. It is a shame that the entire idea is stupid as it is a waste of a good film.
Recommend: Sure
Grade: B+
Side Notes:
-It is amazing that the children (Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards) survive their ordeal with no serious injuries.
-Laura Dern is underused.
-Martin Ferrero, the attorney, is also a coward, abandoning the children when a dire situation arises.
-Leaving the dinosaurs in control of the island is also probably not a good idea.
-Making all the dinosaurs female might seem like a good idea on paper but it probably won't work in the long run.
-Dinosaurs must have a very short intubation period as the embryos hatch overnight.
-I wonder what PETA had to say about the cow and goat getting eaten by the dinosaurs.
