Jurassic Park is a fantastic-though somewhat dated now-film about genetically-engineered amusement park animals and the first people that they terrorize. Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm and others try to stop the creatures from leaving the island, setting up the rest of the franchise. A true Classic.
Seen this movie in theaters and over 2 decades later it still holds up.
Might have been influenced by my 11-year-old son's insistence on "NOT GOING." I spent much of my time utilizing my superb peripheral vision watching his delightful facial expressions. It is still the best in the franchise. Technology is better now, but they need stronger stories, without so many absurdities. Despite some goofs, the first one seemed far more plausible than its successors.
Continuity mistake: When Tim and Lex first arrive, Lex is wearing a purple tank top with a colorful design, and in the following scenes or even between consecutive shots her tank top changes to completely different designs, though it's the same style of tank top.
John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked, nothing.
Ian Malcolm: But, John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.
Trivia: To make the water in the glass on the dashboard 'jump', they strung a guitar string from the underside of the dashboard to a bolt on the floor and then plucked the string.
Question: Where do the staff and crew of Jurassic Park go after the dinosaurs escape? I mean you see a staff member tending to the triceratops, there were many scientists in the dinosaur lab, and would assume that there would be many more people on the island but they are nowhere to be seen after the dinosaurs escape.

Chosen answer: They all left on the same boat Nedry was trying to get on with the embryos. You can hear Samuel L Jackson's character announce that the boat will be leaving at a specific time and everyone had to be there or be left behind.
