Midweek Mention... Jurassic Park

Midweek Mention... Jurassic Park

Welcome back to another roaring episode of Bad Dads Film Review, where the stakes are high and the dinosaurs are... well, life-sized!

Alright Dads, we're hopping in the time machine today, not to the era of neon shirts or cassette tapes, but much, much further. We're going to an island where the impossible becomes possible: the magical, the mythical, the legendary – Jurassic Park.

You remember the first time you heard that resonant T-Rex roar, right? Or the shimmering ripples in the glass of water? Those Velociraptors in the kitchen? Spielberg didn’t just serve us a film; he handed over a cinematic experience that has been etched into our minds forever. It’s about more than just a bunch of dinos on the loose; it's a tale of ambition, nature vs. science, and, of course, the timeless lesson that just because we can doesn’t mean we should.

And let’s take a moment for that iconic score by John Williams. Doesn't it give you chills every time? Whether it’s the grandiose theme when we first see the park or the suspenseful tones during T-Rex’s debut, the music is a character in itself.

But, for all the cinematic majesty of "Jurassic Park", there are Dad moments too. Dr. Alan Grant’s transformation from a dino-expert who’s not too fond of kids, to a pseudo-dad who’s quite literally holding their hands through the dangers of a dino-infested park? Heartwarming and utterly relatable!

And, speaking of kids, remember trying to get them to watch this masterpiece? The mix of wonder and "Dad, why did they go into the park in the first place?" questions. It's a rite of passage in the Dad's movie handbook.

So, grab your safari hat, maybe a flare or two (just in case), and join us on this prehistoric journey. Let’s dive deep into "Jurassic Park", chat about our favorite scenes, the groundbreaking CGI, and why it remains a cinematic gem nearly 30 years later. Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle and hold on tight; it’s gonna be a wild ride here at Bad Dads Film Review! 🦖🎬🍿
