Reasons they shouldn’t see it as a kid: It’s scary! Seriously, there are kids in this movie, but that doesn’t make it an OK movie for kids. I saw this when I was really young and even though you’re told that dinosaurs died a long time ago, here they are, scientifically cloned — the thought of which still frightens me — completely terrorizing these poor scientists and their kids (and farm animals). Everybody dies and it’s absolute carnage (spoiler alert, but not really).
When they should see it: In their late teens for sure, as it’s still a classic. (And because everyone should see every movie with Jeff Goldblum in it because he’s amazing.)
