Jurassic Park (PG, 1993) Presented in 35mm Film by The Revival House Perth
Palaeontologists Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) are invited by eccentric billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) to tour his ambitious new theme park on a remote island, where cloned dinosaurs, resurrected from ancient DNA, roam in carefully controlled enclosures. Accompanied by mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and Hammond's two grandchildren, the group's guided tour spirals into chaos when a systems failure, triggered by a disgruntled employee's sabotage, shuts down the park's security measures. As the dinosaurs break free of their confinement, the visitors must fight for survival against creatures far more intelligent and dangerous than anyone anticipated, confronting the catastrophic consequences of humanity's hubris in attempting to control nature itself.
Director Steven Spielberg delivers a landmark achievement in blockbuster filmmaking, seamlessly blending Stan Winston's practical animatronics with groundbreaking computer-generated effects to create dinosaurs of unprecedented realism. The film's masterful build-up of tension, paired with genuine wonder at its central spectacle, established a new benchmark for effects-driven cinema. Jeff Goldblum's charismatic turn as the skeptical Ian Malcolm provided the film's memorable philosophical counterpoint, while John Williams's iconic score elevated the sense of awe and danger throughout, cementing Jurassic Park's status as a defining cinematic achievement.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (PG, 1997) Presented in 35mm Film by The Revival House Perth
Four years after the disaster at Jurassic Park, mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) reluctantly returns to InGen's secret second island, Isla Sorna, where dinosaurs have been living and breeding undisturbed in the wild. Racing to find his girlfriend Sarah (Julianne Moore), who has already ventured to the island to document the dinosaurs, Malcolm joins a rescue expedition that collides catastrophically with a rival InGen team intent on capturing dinosaurs to bring back to civilisation. As the expedition's presence disrupts the island's fragile ecosystem, the group must survive increasingly hostile dinosaur encounters, including a rampaging Tyrannosaurus rex that follows them back to the mainland, unleashing chaos far beyond the island's shores.
Steven Spielberg returns to direct this darker, more action-driven sequel, ramping up the scale and intensity of dinosaur encounters while expanding the franchise's exploration of corporate greed and environmental hubris. Jeff Goldblum steps into the lead role with characteristic wit, while Julianne Moore brings intelligence and resourcefulness to Sarah's dangerous fieldwork. The film's ambitious action set pieces, including the memorable double-trailer cliff sequence and the T-rex's rampage through San Diego, showcase Spielberg's mastery of large-scale spectacle, delivering a bigger, more relentless thrill ride than its predecessor. (Medium level violence, 129mins)
