Classic Gold

This movie is just classic. There is no other way to describe it. The story follows the the plight of mankind having to contend with a more advanced alien invasion force from Mars. The acting was good and the special effects were great for the time. There hasn't been a War of the Worlds movie that can touch this one in terms of a pure invasion movie( yes even the Tom Cruise version which is another story). You feel the danger and hopelessness of the situation. The acting was great and the ending was what you expect if you know the story. Maybe someday someone will do a great WotW movie that is great like this one with the technology of today.

Released 25 years ago, Steven Spielberg’s take on Michael Crichton’s novel of the same name unbelievably holds up to this day. By holds up I’m referring to the incredible special effects that brought dinosaurs to life like never before.

The technology in the film however, doesn’t fare so well. Interactive CD-ROMs haven’t been relevant since the early 00s and Unix systems, well, the less said about that the better.

But this is a thrill ride like no other. The human characters rightly play second fiddle to the dinosaur cast. For pure popcorn entertainment, Jurassic Park is hard to beat. Make sure you watch the Jurassic Park movies in order for the best experience.

Plot

Brilliant writing

One of the best zombie books I've read and the start on an epic series

Contains spoilers, click to show

Patient Zero is the first book in Jonathan Maberry's Joe Ledger series. Jonathan Maberry is a phenomenal writer, in this series he introduces us to the DMS (Department of Military Sciences) a shadow government agency formed to respond to advanced terrorist threats such as bioterrorism, alien technology etc..

In this book we meet an array of characters such as Mr Church, Aunt Sally, Top and Bunny when Joe is recruited by Mr Church to help deal with the potential release of a zombie virus. This book is thrilling, funny, and keeps the reader itching for more.

I give this book 10/10.
