QUICK TAKE:
Action/Adventure: Scientists and others must deal with cloned dinosaurs that have escaped and are running loose on an island theme park.
PLOT:
Dr. Alan Grant (SAM NEILL), a paleontologist, and his girlfriend, Dr. Ellie Sattler (LAURA DERN), a paleobotanist, are accompanied by mathematician Ian Malcolm (JEFF GOLDBLUM) as they're brought to an island theme park owned by a wealthy entrepreneur, John Hammond (RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH). They've been summoned to appease a lawyer, Donald Gennaro (MARTIN FERRERO), who represents the park's investors following an earlier accident there.

No ordinary park, this one is filled with genetically cloned dinosaurs, including the fearsome T-Rex and the speedy and dangerous "raptors." When a greedy computer programmer, Dennis Nedry (WAYNE KNIGHT), sabotages the security system so that he can steal frozen dinosaur embryos, the existing dinosaurs escape and wreak havoc. While Alan, Ellie and Ian were originally there to endorse the park, they now find themselves, along with the game warden, Robert Muldoon (BOB PECK) and chief engineer, Ray Arnold (SAMUEL L. JACKSON), trying to survive and to rescue Hammond's grandchildren, Tim (JOSEPH MAZZELLO) and Lex (ARIANA RICHARDS), all as the dinosaurs run loose.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
For intense science fiction terror.


I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
