The first-rate Steven Spielberg's film that is completely a must-see. It was released in 1993 however this fact doesn't hinder from enjoying the picture. The interesting plot, good acting, wonderful music... What's more? Of course, dinosaurs! They look so realistic: it's especially striking as the film was made more than 20 years ago. Velociraptors, Dilophosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Triceratops, Gallimimus, Parasaurolophus - a viewer may be delighted with all these dinos for around two hours. But the real star of the film is Tyrannosaurus, T. Rex which a protagonist and an antagonist at the same time. To sum up, I really recommend to watch or rewatch the Jurassic Park film series particularly owing to the release of the new part (Jurassic World) which turned out even more showy.

Quotations
* * *
John Hammond: All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but, John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
* * *
Dr. Ian Malcolm: God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs.Dr. Ellie Sattler: Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth.
* * *
Volunteer Boy: That doesn't look very scary. More like a six-foot turkey.Dr. Alan Grant: A turkey, huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side,
[makes 'whoshing' sound]
Dr. Alan Grant: from the other two raptors you didn't even know were there. Because Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this...
[he produces raptor claw from his pocket]
Dr. Alan Grant: A six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here, or here...
[he lightly 'slashes' across the kid's body with the raptor claw]
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Oh, Alan...
Dr. Alan Grant: Or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know, try to show a little respect.
Volunteer Boy: OK.
[Alan leaves the now slightly frightened kid]
* * *
John Hammond: ...And there's no doubt; our attractions will drive kids our of their minds!Dr. Alan Grant: And what are those?
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Small versions of adults, honey...
* * *
Dr. Ellie Sattler: So, what are you thinking?Dr. Alan Grant: We're out of a job.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Don't you mean extinct?
* * *
Dr. Alan Grant: T-Rex doesn't want to be fed. He wants to hunt. Can't just suppress 65 million years of gut instinct.
* * *
Dr. Alan Grant: You got any kids?Dr. Ian Malcolm: Me? Oh, hell yeah, three. I love kids. Anything at all can and does happen. Same with wives, for that matter.
Dr. Alan Grant: You're married?
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Occaissionally. Yeah, I'm always on the lookout for a future ex-Mrs. Malcolm.
* * *
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Dr. Sattler, Dr. Grant, you've heard of chaos theory?Dr. Ellie Sattler: No.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: No? Non-linear equations? Strange attractions? Dr. Sattler, I refuse to believe that you aren't familiar with the concept of attraction.
* * *
Donald Gennaro: Let's get something straight, John, this is not a weekend excursion, this is a serious investigation of the stability of the island. Your investors, whom I represent, are deeply concerned. And 48 hours from now, if they're not convinced, I'm not convinced. I'll shut you down, John.John Hammond: In 48 hours, I'll be accepting your apologies.
* * *
Lex: I'm a hacker!Tim: That's what I said: you're a nerd.
Lex: I am not a computer nerd. I prefer to be called a hacker!
* * *
Dr. Ellie Sattler: We can make it if we run.Muldoon: No, we can't.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Why not?
Muldoon: Because we are being hunted.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Oh God.
Muldoon: In the bushes straight ahead. It's all right.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Like hell it is!
* * *
John Hammond: When we have control again...Dr. Ellie Sattler: You never had control, that's the illusion! I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I made a mistake, too, I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now. The only thing that matters now are the people we love. Alan and Lex and Tim. John, they're out there where people are dying.
* * *
Dr. Alan Grant: I hate computers.Dr. Ellie Sattler: The feeling's mutual.
