An intriguing, suspenseful story is somewhat hampered by a dull cast. The last sequence will have you on the edge of your seat.
November 05, 2008
Nelson Gidding's adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel is too literal and talky.
May 04, 2011
Robert Wise's version of Chrihton's popular novel is a decent (but no more) film, with some good art design.
November 05, 2008
Wise (and Crichton) concoct the most absorbing, riveting take on science fiction tempered with science fact.

Disquieting
November 05, 2008
Robert Wise brings his Academy Award-winning sobriety and meticulousness to a pulp tale that cries out for the slapdash vigor of a Roger Corman.
February 09, 2006
Wise does rather plod through the plot.

Uma ficção-científica inteligente, para adultos, que usa a "ficção" como trampolim para sua fascinante "ciência". E a direção de arte é um espetáculo à parte, mesmo que datada.
September 18, 2005
Wise and screenwriter Nelson Gidding focus on the details and the science of the story, giving it a natural suspense that nearly holds up for the entire 131 minutes.

Splendid entertainment that will get you worried about whether they'll be able to contain that strange blob of alien green crystal.
November 05, 2008
Director Wise takes few liberties with Michael Crichton's breakthrough best-seller and the film is all the stronger for it.

Nothing very exciting goes on.
