In a fascinating collection of interviews and demonstrations with some of today's top paleontologists and experts (and a behind-the-scenes look at the film JURASSIC PARK with director Steven Spielberg), actor Jeff Goldblum and author Michael Crichton explore the viability of recreating live dinosaurs. All phases of logistics are approached, from extracting DNA to creating embryos for placement in host eggs, and much more. But before scientists can even think of resurrection the dinosaur, there are some sobering facts to consider, such as food supply. One tyrannosaurus rex alone could eat a 2,000-pound elephant for a mid-morning snack! Plus, the average dinosaur might grow nine feet in less than a year.

| Radio TimesJohn FergusonSpielberg is less assured in the department of character development and some of the actors give worse performances than the computer-generated creatures, but, with a landmark spectacle like this, who cares? |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallWe ask for two things from big-budget thrillers like this: Make us believe and make us jump. Jurassic Park delivers on both counts. |
