The book being written by Michael Crichton i had the highest expectations and I was not let down. The beautiful mix of perfectly placed comedy and jaw dropping visual effects had me lost for words. The beauty of a 7 ton beast stomping towards you in the rear view mirror of a jeep and the terror of staring down a velociraptor had me in awe. When ellie went to turn the power back on and is greeted with ray arnolds severed arm had me shook. I have to say the only thing i was disappointed by was them leaving out hammonds death. After hearing about the concept deaths they had in mind for him i was saddened that richard attenboroughs character didnt get the death scene he had in the book. Even after all that I couldn't have wished for a better live action adaptation of the book. When I read the book as a kid I found a place where I fit in the world. I always wanted to be like Alan Grant or Ian Malcom growing up. Paleontology is a field I love and this movie showed me the real beauty of the field and why I loved it so much. Since my first watch through I have watched it at least a dozen more times and each time felt just as amazed as the first. This movie reminds me of a simpler time when not everything mattered as much, a time when people could be excepted for who they were and what they did. If it wasn't for people like Alan Grant even if fictional, I don't know where I'd be in life today. Overall I'd give this movie 100/10

As my eyes laid upon this golden gift from God I realized the true meaning of life. Not to wake up every morning and go straight to work but to feast upon the teat of God otherwise know as Pinocchio: A True Story. Not only does it gift us with the golden throne of comedy but a heartfelt story of two lovers that could never be. In the end we never got to see the hero with the damsel, but we did get to see him rise to the right hand of God. Pinocchio not only shows great athletic ability but godly strength and durability. He also appears to have the heart of mother thereasa her self. This film is the gift of not only God but zues and odin themselves. 5 stars
