So this movie is Jurassic Park with gorillas?


Or are there other perils in the jungle?

It was kinda Billed that way when it first came out.

I remember thinking it might be as magnificent as JP and being very let down.


though I might try to rewatch it some time

I don't remember it being billed that way in as much as audiences just assumed. Quite frankly I saw it in no way comparable.

well , maybe they half assumed ( i did )

but it did have some similarities from it being from the same author ( it even had a double volume novel with JP )

Having the man vs animal theme and probably mentioning JP in some advertising or movie review shows of the time.


i did however rewatch this and yeah its pretty damn average (like it was the first time round ) with some inferior special effects ( Jurassic park effects however were brilliant )
it takes too long to get going and the taking ape was a bit distracting also

it does have a great cast, scenery and overall nice look to the film though.

Well that's true, Now I think about it I recall something like 'From the Writer of Jurassic Park'.
