About
As of 2026, it's 33 years old.
Jurassic Park made dinosaurs feel genuinely, breathtakingly real in 1993, blending groundbreaking CGI with animatronics so convincingly that the first glimpse of a brachiosaurus left audiences slack-jawed. Then, of course, it spent the rest of the runtime arguing that bringing them back was a catastrophically bad idea.
The rippling water glass, the kitchen raptors, and Jeff Goldblum's 'life finds a way' became permanent fixtures, and the effects still hold up alarmingly well.
Thrilling, awe-inspiring, and a cautionary tale about scientific hubris, Jurassic Park is the film that made an entire generation simultaneously love and fear dinosaurs.
