Ashley's Jurassic Park Page

Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park and The Lost World are prime examples of modern film making. They both contain excitement and horror, some humour but always a sense of adventure. The two films are different entities. Jurassic Park 'invented' new technology by using Computer Graphic Imaging (CGI) on such a scale never seen before. CGI has been used in films for many years but only in creating inorganic objects such as spaceships or stained glass knights in the Young Sherlock Holmes (another Spielberg film). But the greatest challenge for CGI was to create a living creature on a computer which the audiance would believe in.

The first time I saw the Brontasaurus on the huge cinema screen it took my breath away. Its movements were so fluid and real, I believed in the dinosaur, it was that powerful an image.

The best page for JP fans, and in my view the best web page of the whole internet, is Jurassic Park It contains all the latest info on the films along with pictures, video clips and lots of other information by a very dedicated JP fan.
