| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Billionaire Attenborough invites paleontologists Dern and Neill and mathematician Goldblum to inspect his island amusement park, populated with living dinosaurs; he even has his grandchildren tag along, blissfully unconvinced that anything could go wrong. Slam-bang thriller delivers the goods with action, suspense, and hair-raising chills, plus the most astonishing special effects of this nature in cinema history: the dinosaurs seem alive. The story can't bear such close scrutiny, but while this thrill ride is going, you won't be bothered with such details. Michael Crichton cowrote the screenplay from his own novel. Won three Oscars, for Visual Effects, Sound, and Sound Effects Editing. Followed by THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK
