Summary
Paleontologist Alan Grant and paleobotanist Ellie Sattler are pulled off a Montana dig by billionaire John Hammond, who wants their endorsement for Jurassic Park, an island preserve off Costa Rica stocked with dinosaurs cloned from DNA in amber-trapped mosquitoes. Touring the unfinished attraction with chaos theorist Ian Malcolm, an investors' lawyer and Hammond's grandchildren Tim and Lex, they learn how much the park depends on electrified fences and one computer system to hold a Tyrannosaurus rex and a pen of Velociraptors. A tropical storm and a bribed employee's sabotage take that system offline with the tour stranded on the island road. Steven Spielberg's adventure thriller adapts Michael Crichton's novel.
Steven Spielberg directed Jurassic Park, an adventure, science-fiction and thriller film from 1993. It is rated PG-13. It was made in the United States. It stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum. The runtime is 127 minutes.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 35,300 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 1,221 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 1,278 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Jurassic Park lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,221.
