The first and still the best. Very enjoyable film. The bits I love is the sheer pleasure of the main characters as they see for real creatures they have only ever imagined - even if it all goes wrong. And of course the iconic roar of the T Rex over the bones at the end. I can still remember my

horror when Bob Peck dies the first time I watched it. Loved him in "Edge of Darkness".

A dinosaur theme park has real dinosaurs, and nothing could possibly go wrong.

Fun. You have to turn your brain off, but that's okay; you don't need your brain to enjoy watching people get eaten by dinosaurs.

The big-screen film scared one of our kids when we saw it with them, probably when it came out; he was maybe 8 or 9. We made him stay through to the end to show him that it did, in fact, end, with none of the dinosaurs loose in the theater.

I watched it most recently (nearly 30 years later) with our

11-year-old granddaughter, who decided on her own that she was old enough to see it without being frightened; she must have been, because she wasn't - not anymore than all of us were at the really scary parts.

I think the story and cinematography held up well.
