Jaws II In Jurassic Park
TIME June 14, 1993
Jurassic Park
Amazing. Dinosaurs live. You are there, once upon a time, before mammal walked or man dreamed. You can pet a triceratops and, if you wish, examine its droppings. You can feed a vegetarian brachiosaur, whose movements are graceful, endearing. At times the beasts (animated by the computer-sorcerers from the Industrial Light & Magic) move in a hazier space than the humans in the foreground, but in the intimate scenes, the dinos are utterly convincing. Spielberg loves to mix wonder with horror, and he has fun creating a living Museum of Natural Fantasy.

Then he scares you witless. Here come a nosy tyrannosaur and a fan-faced, bilous dilophosaur. Nastiest of all are the velociraptors, smart, relentless punks in packs -- Saurz N the Hood. They have a special appetite for kids, just like the great white shark in the movie that made Spielberg's rep. Now it has some worthy successors: primeval creatures with personality and a lot of bite. Jurassic Park is the true Jaws II. -- Richard Corliss
