![]() Contrived plot and thin characters don’t matter in the world of Jurassic Park. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. The true stars of this film are the dinosaurs. The film has some of the most amazing special effects I’ve ever seen. The suspense keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time… |
