Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Steven Spielberg's 1993 creature feature was for a while the biggest grossing film of all time.
It was also made back-to-back with Schindler's List which, as David Thomson has remarked, indicates an almost "inhuman" facility for moviemaking. Nazis and dinosaurs, both predators: take your pick. The scientist trio lost in the clone park – Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum – are likeable but flimsy, and Neill's supposed thawing as a child-disdainer is ridiculous. But the set-pieces, and the monsters themselves, are out of this world. No director is better at pressing an audience's buttons in the cause of awe and dread.
