Critics Consensus

Jurassic Park is a spectacle of special effects and life-like animatronics, with some of Spielberg's best sequences of sustained awe and sheer terror since Jaws.

Like many of life’s most worthwhile endeavors, it amazes and petrifies in equal measure.

The effects… remain movie magic, and as a cautionary tale disguised as an amusement park thrill ride, its intensity is undeniable. Though I’m more drawn to the parallels between Hammond and Spielberg as obsessed visionaries bent on creative control.

Rated: 3/5

When the prehistoric creatures command the screen in this remarkable new picture, they represent one of the movies' few most striking achievements of their potential as the next best thing to dreaming.

Consider it the moon landing of dinosaur movies, the magical and terrifying miracle that actually gets done what moviemakers have wanted to do since the first film cameras were cranked. It is everything you might have hoped it would be -- and more.

Journal News (Westchester, NY)

Jurassic Park is a dead-center bull's-eye, a film destined to be one of the all-time blockbusters -- and one that actually deserves the accolades.

Rated: 4/4

You get the sense that a whole new cinematic art form has been created here, that the fundamentals of movie-making have suddenly and miraculously changed.

It's finally a joy and excitement to go to the movies again to see great classics. I have been to the movies more times in this year then I have in the last 10 yrs. Seeing this on the big screen beats any streaming service. Do yourself the favor and go to the movies, I promise you won't regret it. You might even like it.

The movie was a welcome flashback from the past and at a great price. I didn't know that it was 3D and so I didn't get the glasses (my choice).

My kids and I loved watching this in 3D. I was in 4th grade when the original came out and my 13 year-old son has loved dinosaurs since he was a toddler, so this was a blast for us. I loved the entire movie was 3D and not just some scenes and how the dinosaurs looked so real. The raptors are my favorite, and it made the end of the movie even better to feel like I was right there. The only complaint would be that the edges of the screen were blurry.
