Editorial Review:
Jurassic Park
Steven Spielberg's 1993 mega-hit rivals Jaws as the most intense and frightening film he'd ever made prior to Schindler's List, but it was also among his weakest stories. Based on Michael Crichton's novel about an island amusement park populated by cloned dinosaurs, the film works best as a thrill ride with none of the interesting human dynamics of Spielberg's Jaws. That lapse proves unfortunate, but there's no shortage of raw terror as a rampaging T. rex and nasty raptors try to make fast food out of the cast. The effects are still astonishing (despite the fact that the computer-generated technology has since been improved upon) and at times primeval, such as the sight of a herd of whatever-they-are scampering through a valley. --Tom Keogh
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
After the global phenomenon that was Jurassic Park, it was a given that novelist Michael Crichton would conjure up a sequel and that Steven Spielberg would then commit it to film. Considering the potential profit involved, it was practically a commercial mandate. Perhaps it was inevitable that both efforts were contrived, and well below the talents of Crichton (well, maybe) and certainly Spielberg, who just didn't have the heart for this recycling after the artistic triumph of Schindler's List. What we're left with, for better and worse, is a redundant blockbuster that still benefits from Spielberg's mastery of high-intensity action sequences and the further development of amazing computer-generated special effects. What's missing is the awe and wonder that made Jurassic Park a technical marvel and a dazzling product of scientific imagination. The story's a no-brainer: after the deadly fiasco of the original dinosaur theme park, we're taken (along with returning star Jeff Goldblum) to a second island where genetically engineered dinosaurs still thrive under the watchful eye of Goldblum's biologist girlfriend (Julianne Moore). But a devious capitalist (Arliss Howard) is determined to export dinosaurs to a new park in San Diego, financing a hunt-and-capture expedition that results in another series of fatal disasters. In Spielberg's hands this movie's more exciting than it has a right to be, given the creative paucity of Crichton's novel and David Koepp's adapted screenplay. The special effects are state-of-the-art, and the T. rex's rampage through the streets of San Diego is nothing short of spectacular; but apparently an improvement upon the shortcomings of Jurassic Park was too much to hope for. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Dino Double Feature
The Jurassic Park Collection comprises of Steven Spielberg's first two Jurassic Park films, which are loosely adapted from the novels by Michael Crichton. Both films were revolutionary in their use of CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery), though they received a mix response by film critics. Their deviations from the books, their reliance on action rather than character, and their overly commercial nature turned some viewers off.

Rating:  - A MUST HAVE FOR JOHN WILLIAMS FANS
@@This is really something worth owning, there are 2 DVD films and 2 CDs soundtracks in the set, plus photos, frames from the movies and etc. For those who doesn't enjoy Jurassic Park III, it would be a great choice to own the Spielberg series. The bonus materials in the set is also rich, including almost anything you want.
@@For film score hunters, it would be a great oppotunity to own one of JOHN WILLIAMS' best score to Jurassic Park and its sequel. It is obviously that the Lost World soundtrack ... Read More
