A wealthy but naive businessman is about to open a theme park filled with dinosaurs, which his team has created from preserved DNA. If there is one thing we've learned from science fiction movies, it is that you should not fiddle with nature. The story (from Michael Crichton's bestseller) is formulaic and it's rather easy to guess who gets killed and who doesn't. However, the groundbreaking computer effects are impressive and Steven Spielberg creates some tense and spectacular set pieces. Followed by The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park III, Jurassic World, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
