Jurassic Park really hasn’t lost any of it’s magic, it was released in 1993 and I still remember seeing it in the cinema when I was 9.
Am I the last to find out that Jeff Goldblum is dating the girl who plays Alex Rosseau in Lost? The guy is a legend!
Not only does the CGI hold up fantastically I’d say it looks better than a lot of the CGI in more modern films. I love you Spielberg!
Watching Jurassic Park, I wonder how the CGI will hold up after all these years?
