JURASSIC PARK
October 26, 2019  | By David Bianculli

AMC, 7:00 p.m. ET

 
This is such a smart movie – and every time I see it, I marvel at something different. When I first saw it in theaters in 1993, it was to be astounded by the image of dinosaurs come to cinematic life. Now that that sort of moviemaking magic has become commonplace, thanks to digital special effects, watching Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park today is almost like re-reading a favorite children’s book from childhood. It’s a return to innocence, and yet, all these years later, Michael Crichton’s story, and Spielberg’s movie version of it, not only still holds up. It still thrills. It’s now more than 25 years old… but the chills still work, the dinosaurs still amaze, and the chaos-theory lessons still apply.
