The point is having the chance to see Jurassic Park again on the big screen. Come on guys, it's JURASSIC PARK. The film of our childhoods! 3D or not, you bet your ass I'll be watching it!

I'm sure as hell re-watching this again. I remember watching this 20 years ago and people were actually screaming their lungs off. Especially during the part the jeep falls from the tree.
I just hope the 3D won't ruin it. 3D movies are known to be darker and gets blur(er) when the camera pans too fast. If its not done right it will even be a pain to watch.

On another note, its sad that even after 20 years and with all the advancement in technology, newer movies are still showing dinosaurs that are more laughable than terrifying.

Glad to report that the 3D is very effective here - amazing conversion work on par with anything shot in 3D.

However some notes:

- IMAX at TGV 1u - sit further away from the screen if possible.. as its almost a 10yr old movie shot in 35mm, theres very little detail in the resulting imax blowup size - my only complaint abt the detail level.. other normal 3d theaters may not exhibit this problem?..

As for dark and blurry 3d - this is the fault of projection quality:-
- i found 3D at GSC tropicana and paradigm to be quite dim and blurry.
- GSC 1u is slightly better.
- tgv 1U - the best - during 'the hobbit 3d hfr 48' - very bright and dynamic - even tho hated the HFR 48.

I watched it in IMAX 1 Utama too. Wow the hall is small in this one. I pity the person who dares sitting in the front rows, you won't see shit. I took row H which was just nice. Either take H and one row back. Do not get anything beyond H.

Anyway yes, the image lacks refinement. Probably not that surprising given it's a twenty year old movie. Close-ups look very good and detailed, but open shots are very obviously soft around the edges. Some halo effects too.

Even then. What a classic. Flaws be damned, this will just get better with age. I actually teared up during the journey to the island sequence. John Williams, what a master. Even with the lack of sharpness in the image, this is the best experience I've had at the cinema since... well maybe Tintin.

5/5 and nothing less.

the only thing that i loved about the movie was the (IMAX)sound.

but paying premium just to hear T-Rex roar a couple of times? no thanks.

3D was totally pointless. added absolutely nothing.

Like all 3D movies (for me anyway), the effect wears off fast and half an hour into it you barely feel it anymore. But there's an excellent use of 3D near the end when they are moving through the air vents and the raptor attacks from below...

Have to agree. Some people actually screamed at that part. I knew it was coming (since I've watched it 20 years ago) but even I almost just out of my seat because it was such a close call.

Watched it in IMAX Sunway Pyramid (no subtitles too). After 20 years its still a good watch. Hardly notice any effects on the 3D though because I was too busy enjoying the movie itself. There are still people screaming when the dinosaurs attack, surprisingly its them teenagers, the kids just kept quiet.

The original JP is my favorite movie ever, been lucky enough to see it four times in theater (twice back in 1993 when I was six, once back in 2010 during a special revival screening and a 3D screening during the re-release). Seen it endlessly on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray over the years. Regarding the sequels, neither is nearly as good but they have their moments. The Lost World I actually think is kind of underrated and has a lot of cool parts in it. I like it far better than the third for sure.

I hope a fourth gets made but I want it to be a well-crafted effort, not a rush job. I'm kind of relieved it got postponed because I was worried with a June 2014 release that it'd be rushed and turn out poorly, so with more time they can really make the effort to churn out a great sequel and series finale.

So the 3D wasn't that good, as expected but the movie still stands the test of time. When the film came out, I remember watching it as kid and was glued onto my seat from start to finish. Since then, I can easily say I've seen the movie dozens of times... heck turn on your local TV channel and they'll be playing it on 'special ocassions' e.g. New Year's Day specials. JP definitely is the best dinosaur movie ever made. And yes, the moment when you saw Dr. Alan Grant turn Ellie's head and they were both in an absolute awe, then the unexpected... a lot more dinosaurs with the iconic music blasting in the back. Indeed... ahh... brings back memories. tongue.gif The visuals are just too bloody good for the year it was released, it was ahead of its time.

As for seeing it again after all these years on the big-screen... I don't know... I have a mixed feeling about it. Maybe it's just the thought of paying money for something that I've already seen one too many times, what with the trend to re-release films in 3D. Perhaps I didn't think carefully enough that it is JP and not just any other movie re-released in 3D. If not now, then when else will it play in cinemas? hmm.gif

Well... I might just pop in to TGV IMAX 1U to see it this weekend since "After Earth" is thrown out of my list of movies to see. icon_rolleyes.gif

As many times as I've seen JP at home, it has a very special magic to it when it's seen in a theater environment that no home theater setting can ever re-capture. It was just as awe-inspiring and exciting for me to watch again in theaters as it was back in 1993 when I was six. I had no problem paying to see it again in that sort of setting that really enhances the feeling, IMO.

I also think the 3D conversion looked great. I was unsure how it might look but I think the team did a great job of it. I thought it added an element of immersion and depth to the film and it didn't feel gimmicky. I definitely will see it again in 3D when I can.

Im not sure what u guys saying the 3d is special
Ok it got 3d, can totally see it but after a while it looks the same as watching normal movie . The effects is not much ..and im not a big fan of 3d movie but i was expecting something that can really make my eye see it.. For example toy story 3 where buzz using his light laser, can really see the effects but that is all on ts3 3d. But i think its a good 3d considered it an old movie but wasnt the best.

And i never watch jp before. The story so so, dinasour mehh.. The one at the car looks good but then only small apperance. But what im amazed with this movie is it doesnt look like 90s movie, and dinasour looks good, not fake cartoony looking

'Jurassic World' Will Take Place 22 Years After 'Jurassic Park'

Plotline of the new "Jurassic Park" movie is still under wraps, but a tidbit that could give a hint at what to expect from the film is revealed. "Jurassic World" is confirmed to take place 22 years after the original pic directed Steven Spielberg.

Director Colin Trevorrow took to Twitter to dish on, "This is a new sci-fi terror adventure set 22 years after the horrific events of Jurassic Park." The "Safety Not Guaranteed" helmer assured fans that it would not be a reboot of the 1993 classic.

A fourth installment of "Jurassic Park" movie franchise, "Jurassic World" will star Bryce Dallas Howard as a smart corporate scientist, and Ty Simpkins & Nick Robinson as her nephews. Chris Pratt is rumored circling a male lead role of a rugged ex-military man.

The film will be released in U.S. theaters on June 12, 2015.


Finally... but I'm just not sure how it is going to be received. Expect realistic dino animatronics & CGI!

Sadly, I don't think we'll be seeing the old classic characters like Dr Alan Grant, Dr Ian Malcom, Dr Ellie Satler... or John Hammond. sad.gif

Whatever it is, still a million times better than the early draft of JP4's dino with guns on them.

Dino with guns? Don't speak so soon .... tongue.gif

Anyways, there are already parallels with the old movie. Scientist with two kids in tow. One rugged male lead. Don't be surprised if he wears the same cowboy hat as well.

I just hope it won't turn out like a rehash of JP1 eventhough it's not supposed to be a reboot.
