The 3d conversion got pretty good reviews - for IMAX and the 3d bluray release.

I'd say its worth it if you have time and cash - and enjoy the additional (not compulsory) added depth in 3d films.

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.

While I always look forward to spinning the bluray of TLW - it'll always be the most uneven entry in the JP series - mixing some great gems:
- interesting mix of actors interacting off each other
- john Williams score goes in new direction (tribalish percussion)
- beautiful cinematography
- trailer attack
- camp attack
- gymnastics
- interracial genealogical mystery (as in ian's daughter)

with the clunkers:
- brining a baby trex into the trailer
- the ending in san diego
- various things other ppl complained about which I don't really notice - hence my short list of clunkers

to this day there is debate (on imdb) as to what actually happened on the ship during it's transit to san diego - this one had me stumped as well - something was cut here?

True but the previous Jurassic movies were very fun and cautionary what-if stories - as to why we shouldn't bring back dinosaurs - much less build a vacation destination around it - which was the spirit of the Michael Crichton's novels. The earlier movies - there was SOME effort at matching ground-breaking CG and effects with some semblance of logic - where even if you were 5 yrs old and didn't care about details - the details are there - it means there was effort put in presenting something exciting and close to clever.

I think Chris Pratt was phoning in his performance - Byce is OK - but their interaction could've been worked upon - its very ho-hum every time I see humans interacting in their scenes - only the character of Lowery at the station was compelling to watch - being the ONLY one who is aware of what's going on and what's to come.

The action scenes and money shots were good but everything else drags it down that i felt dirty after the whole thing ended in IMAX 3d -- i am thinking my money was better spent for the IMAX 3d of 'Jupiter Ascending'.

Like another poster mentioned - this is a fine CG spectacular blockbuster on SyFy channel - but not deserving of the 'Jurassic' moniker in its title.
