An exceptional blockbuster, full of interesting ideas about the dangers of control and unbridled scientific progress, and packed with incredible action and suspense sequences. [Full review in Spanish].
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 26, 2025
Jurassic Park gives everything you could ask of a blockbuster adventure movie, and much of what you might ask of a horror movie. The thrills are executed sharply, and strike the perfect tone when juxtaposed against moments of wonder and true movie magic.
| Original Score: 5/5 | May 8, 2024
Jurassic Park remains timeless because the issues it chose to explore are universal, while Alan, Ian, Ellie and the other heroes remain relatable, despite their extraordinary circumstances.

A magical marvel of blockbuster cinema.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 13, 2023
Watching the film in 2023 brings with it some unusual baggage. Questions about control, computer hacking, and what to do with the power you’ve discovered seem more relevant than ever.
| Original Score: 10/10 | Jun 11, 2023
Groundbreaking FX, an all star cast, some of the most iconic action/horror sequences ever filmed, and just the right amount of critique of traditional gender roles & capitalism. Jurassic Park truly is a four quadrant blockbuster
| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 9, 2023
Jurassic Park is a legendary film full of a number of scary set pieces, but its most frightening sequence is one without dinosaurs.

It has a thrill or two, and a chill or three, but it has no poetry, little sense of wonder, no resonant subtext, no art.

It's an interesting film to go back to, [as the film] is critical of capitalism, but that doesn't mean there isn't a very strong social conservative streak here in terms of how it structures the ideas about what capitalism shouldn't meddle with.
