Jurassic Park: box office and critical success
The mix of highly exciting dinosaur action, interspersed with social and scientific criticism, produced some legendary film scenes and set a milestone at the box office with around 915 million US dollars when it was originally released. Within the franchise, this was only surpassed over 20 years later by Jurassic World with $1.7 billion.
The film portal Rotten Tomatoes gives the original an almost universally high rating of 91 percent from both the trade press and the audience, and the FILMSTARTS review with 4.5 out of 5 stars and the rating “excellent” also proves the high quality of the film.
“No other thriller can match the excitement that ‘Jurassic Park’ has to offer.
[…]
The production quality of the film is impeccable.
[…]”, it says there. Accordingly, the new, limited version should be worth a look at least for steelbook collectors, but also for dinosaur and film fans in general.
