This score IS very good. Still can't decide if it I like it more or equal to the first score (which I sadly missed out on it's Deluxe Edition... maybe Varese will be nice and reissue it when they eventually do it for this film?). Btw, who here REALLY loved the first two minutes of "Kronos Wartet"? I thought it was a really fun rush of music that was very catchy and memorable to me. The combination of the Klingon choir and the catchy theme itself was awesome! I really wanted that particular segment of music to go on longer or show up again elsewhere in the film! I think that may be one of the reasons I'd want a third film now to involve Klingons chasing after them or other warfare if it means bringing those elements back!

Well... what if a dead underwater creature's body washed ashore on a beach? Wouldn't that attract mosquitos and other insects that could then fly off it and then get stuck in the sap of a nearby tree? That to me was the most plausible way to acquire aquatic creature DNA in the realm of this story. For the record, the Crichton novels never featured any aquatic creatures. However, the recent game did, and in it's story had a completely enclosed underwater Jaws 3-esque enclosure.

 

Warning... I just got home after seeing it. Call it a biased review, because I am a HUGE fan of Jurassic Park. as you can tell. It is indeed my personal favorite movie.

 

My verdict... awesome and amazing! So worth it to see in 3D Imax! You really feel so close and so part of it all! Many scenes were so perfect for the format in their composition naturally that it was such a treat! The sound was loud and surrounding. Music blared. The audience totally ate it up. There were some kids near me that made some sounds in a few quiet moments but quickly were shooshed by their parents. By the time that T-rex showed up... they were silent.

This movie lives on the screen. That's where it belongs. Its such a perfect cinematic adventure.Everything holds up so well. And some parts actually made me jump due to sound and how big it was! And I knew everything that was coming! One part inparticluar was so effective in 3D that made MANY people jump, including me a bit! I didn't expect it!

It's funny, because at times watching certain scenes reminded me of looking through my Jurassic Park ViewMaster 3D reels as a kid! Obviously the 3D here was a much better effect, but this kind of feeling gave me EVEN MORE nostalgia watching it. I felt like the whole movie was through the ViewMaster of my youth now!

It's a world I always want to be a part of. I really didn't want to leave. This was truly where I.belonged. So happy to have experienced this film, my favorite, in such an astounding and community-esque way.

I'm sure few people will ever understand. This is my Star Wars.

 

If anyone has anything to ask about it, let me know. That changes I mentioned earlier in this thread were actually the only real changes I could spot in the entire film. Otherwise, it looked and felt just like the Jurassic Park I always knew and loved... but as if I was there reliving it as if it was new again.

 

End of fanboy gushing.

Welcome, Pie! I love how this release has brought a good number of new people here plus brought some older members out from the depths of despair!

Spielberg talks JP 3D

 

Both days at 8PM and feature special guest... Julie Andrews? Not sure how she connects with John Williams, but I like her nonetheless! She is there for a tribute for director Blake Edwards and composer Henry Mancini.

I'm assuming tickets will be available at some later time. Since I missed out on this concert last year (and have been regrettably angry about it ever since), I MUST make it to this one on one of those days. Anyone else think they may go?

Still gay. It's getting boring, though.

It is isn't it? I'm not even the flaming type. Maybe I should be? Nah... those people scare even me. Just because one is gay doesn't mean they have to be... crazy. Or a sex fiend (apologies to all sex fiends here).

Yeah, I get what you mean. And maybe it is really hard to turn traditional animation into 3D unless it is drawn a certain way, like Roger Rabbit-style by Richard Williams. Or a type of animation like his Thief and the Cobbler:

Hey guys, just released: NEW special edition of Lord of the Rings just in time for the release of the Hobbit!

Random bit of cool info... I just found an unseen ending to the Mr. DNA sequence! Check out the first video at the link below. The 2nd vid is a pencil test version!

It's worth noting these guys also did the animated cereal box animations for Minority Report, as evidenced in this lovely video:

So I guess we now know the titles of all 3 films:

Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go!
