Jurassic Park 3D (PG)

Verdict: All-time-great-monster-movie

Rating:

Forget the 3D. This imax re-release of 1993’s biggest hit is mostly a very welcome memo to Hollywood that blockbusters don’t have to be stupid.

Truly outstanding monster movies turn their monsters into more than special effects. And, Steven Spielberg does just that. 

Through a series of telling images, Spielberg makes it clear — as Sam Neill and the children in his care are nearly killed by a falling car, an electrified perimeter fence and a failed computer system — that the real monster is the modern technology which created the dinosaurs but is now out of control.

Audiences should run- not walk- to see Jurassic Park on the big screen

Where Jurassic Park was superior to Spielberg’s previous action films, was that here he shows how adventure can change people.

Sam Neill discovers paternal feelings he never suspected, and the well-intentioned villain of the piece, played by Richard Attenborough, discovers the perils of even benevolent totalitarianism.

If you haven’t seen this on a big screen, treat yourself. It’s awe-inspiring, and John Williams’s sweeping, melodic score is a triumph.

The awe-inspiring epic shows filmmakers that blockbusters can be both heartfelt and clever
