Jurassic Park

My sister's birthday was yesterday, as you know, and What did she want to watch? Jurassic Park.

Jurassic Park is an awesome movie! Some people decide against watching the movie because


#1, It's scary... Duh!


#2 Because they think it's corny.


#1. Do you expect to make an adventure movie without it being a little scary?


#2. In my opinion, a good plot is hard to come by, and they came by it. Who would think that a story where the "bad guys" end up chasing the "good guys" off an Island would be a good story? But with Jurassic Park, the story ended with a satisfying (And typical Steven Spielberg) ending. My honorable friend, The Phantom, disagrees and states that the movie is a waste of time because it's really just a story with Dinos chasing humans until the humans are able to get off the Island. I disagree. What is any movie? Other than the ending, all movies are usually the same. One person is being challenged by one mistake or natural occurrence caused by either Mother Nature or another human, and the hero rises to meet the challenge, sometimes he is victorious and sometimes he is destroyed along with the evil. But, with Jurassic Park, I can think of no better way to end it.


In the story, the owner of the Island found a way to bring Dinos back but he doesn't respect the fact that you can't put a Dinosaur in a cage, especially raptors. In the end, he learns this as their power goes out, also due to a hacker who shuts down the security, and the Dinos escape. The scientists who are there to inspect the Island, end up running from the Park they were inspecting. At the end, the owner of the Island realizes his mistake in cloning dinos and they fly back to the mainland. Truly, my explanation doesn't do the ending justice. What give the movie a glorious atmosphere, is none other than one of Hollywood's top music composers, John Williams. The score is absolutely breathtaking. After hearing the music I immediately learned to play it on the Piano. It is an amazing soundtrack.


All in all, I have to rate it four stars as the movie makes the Dinos a little too smart. But, if you wish to watch an awesome movie, or if you just want to hear majestic music, watch Jurassic Park. Raaaaaaawr!!!!!
