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.

3/5

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.

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.

Spielberg treats us as he does his characters, leading us into a strange land and expecting us to make it out with all our faculties intact.

Apart from the spectacle of the VFX, Jurassic Park presents a smorgasbord of amazing set pieces and tense scenarios that takes you out of your chair and transports you to Isla Nublar, off the coast of Costa Rica.
