Jurassic Park (1993) *****

Jurassic Park (1993) is pretty close to the perfect adventure film—in my opinion only Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981) tops it. Amazing suspense (I still get tense during the T. Rex/glass of water scene). Fantastic f/x that still largely hold up today (the melding of practical/animatronic/digital is brilliant), save for a few shots. Even a healthy dose of horror now and again (severed limbs, human and animal). Great character archetypes with witty dialogue. Minimal heartwarming moments (for Steven Spielberg) and handled perfectly. I have vivid memories of seeing this in the theater, multiple times. It continues to entertain wildly.
