Oh, I love this movie. I'm not a big fan of horror flicks, but this one's more action/adventure with a sprinkling of dinosaur horror than a straight-up suspense/horror movie. It's also a touch sci-fi. And it has some comedy too, kinda.
I first saw this movie in the theater when I was 12. Loved it then, still love it now. Considering that it was made in 1993, the dinosaurs are pretty well done. The concept of the movie - mixing preserved dino DNA with modern DNA to bring back these prehistoric beasts - is pretty cool. And as I remember, there was a lot of buzz around that time of people wondering if it was even possible. To the untrained layman, it seems pretty plausible. I hear it's not really, but who cares? Makes a heck of a movie, in my opinion.
With a great mix of characters,a fantastic cast, and the perfect predators as the bad guys (hello, velociraptors!), Jurassic Park is the whole package. Still love it.
