The book was written by [[Michael Crichton]], while the 1993 movie was directed by [[Steven Spielberg]]. Both were insanely popular then and are considered modern classics now. The film is labeled as having one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in visual effects that changed movie-making. Despite going to great lengths to create extremely convincing animatronic dinosaurs, this was balanced with groundbreaking realistic CGI ones. The CGI involved essentially killed the use of [[Muppet|Muppets]] and stop motion in modern film. Besides the requisite Hollywood mistakes, many paleontologists and dinosaur fanatics also loved it. [https://web.archive.org/web/20111227233347/http://www.hulu.com/watch/31366/jurassic-park-welcome-to-jurassic-park The moment] in the film where the characters first come across a dinosaur in full view and are just blown away, "...it's a dinosaur!" could be the new generation's equivalent to the Star Destroyer overhead from ''[[Star Wars]]''. The movie was named to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2018.
Two sequels were made to the original film. While the second film shared the name of the second book ''The Lost World: Jurassic Park,'' (1997) it had a wildly different storyline, mostly due to characters that originally died in the first book coming back. ''Jurassic Park III'' (2001) came out several years later. While neither rose to the 'classic' status of the first film, both were fairly well received. The same basic story exists in all of the films, only separated by what characters are involved and certain action scenes. There are also a number of computer-game tie-ins, among the most notable being ''[[Trespasser]]'' (for being [[Obvious Beta|one of the most obvious of betas ever released for retail]]), ''[[Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis|Operation Genesis]]'' (like ''[[Rollercoaster Tycoon]]'' with dinosaurs) and [[Jurassic Park: The Game|an episodic series]] by [[Telltale Games]] (like ''[[Heavy Rain]]'' with dinosaurs).
