I can't say much -- it was that good. The music was very enjoyable, and memorable. It was highly suspensful, and unlike movies of today, did not need special effects to portray a sense of grandeur.

The movie is entertaining, but the sound levels need to be adjusted. Ambient noises and orchestra are mixed at a high level, but the actors voices are too low.

R.I.P Mister Chrichton. Jurassic Park scared the ever loving crap out of me when I was eight years old in the movie theater. Thank you!

the inuendos in this film are lame and the movie slow, it has only a glimmer of suprise , but nothing shocking other than how this movie got funding.

Not a very good movie
I watched it all the way through so I could say I've seen the whole thing. I'm sorry it wasn't better. This movie is nothing like other Crichtons, not that that matters (just don't expect it to be). It isn't nearly as interesting or entertaining as his other stories. It's mostly plot driven, and the plot isn't very creative. Sean Connery played his standard cheeseball character. Donald Sutherland's character was a nimrod. The humor was popsicle-stick-joke funny, at best.
The directing was poor. The cinematography and lighting (camera lenses?) were terrible.
Someone said this movie was unpredictable, but I would say it was one of the most predictable movies I've ever seen.
The whole thing comes across as relatively simple minded, which surprised me since it is afterall Michael Crichton (very sad that he just died at 66). BTW, what's with all those old men leaning on ropes in the room that the little willie character runs through? Was this review helpful?

Good Fun Movie!
I rather enjoyed this movie, even though at times it seemed a bit lengthy. All in all, it was a fun movie to watch. The acting was great, and the story was good. I would actually watch it again...just for kicks! Good clean movie that everyone can enjoy!

Superficial, uneven, boring, but unpredictable
I didn't find this movie particularly good, or particularly bad. It's a bit long for the simple plot, and drags a bit in places, but its saving grace is it's not predictable, which makes it a bit more interesting. It would have been better if it were treated a little more seriously, since the attempts at humor are poor and just diminish the movie, but the movie is watchable nonetheless.
