But everything after that, at least up to when they deboard the Jeep to tend to the sick triceratops (this is as far as I got) is just absolutely masterful.
We are due to watch this since it's back on Netflix. I think that's what I love about 90s action movies though--they get
really hokey with the looming threat but the writing/scene work is great. If I'm using a broad brush the opposite is true now--a richly imagined threat delivered through hokey bullshit and canned superhero dialogue.

It's taken me years to tolerate Jurassic Park. I probably even like it by now. But it's been a long journey.

Just the other day I heard someone mention how gorgeous the animation; I should take a look.
Regarding Jurassic Park the original's effects have mostly held up in the last 27 years; the only fakey CGI I can think of off hand is a few panoramic shots. Of the early 90s movie to start using that technology I'd say only T2 has aged as well.

Did you see it when it first came out? Read the book?

Am I supposed to root for those awful people to get together? The whole "do you want to get not-married to me" bit at the end didn't make any sense either.

Oh, I have no opinion about Four Weddings. I've never seen it.

You'll have to watch the movie and see for yourself.
