The film is so good and so well-loved that surely flocks upon flocks would’ve gladly paid to see it in 2D on the big screen again.
Do you really need to add new technical flashiness to make people excited about the dinosaurs eating people on toilets?
The new release reeks of a cynical cash grab — you can charge more for 3D after all — and more importantly, why would you mess with a classic?
Perfection is infinity, and so at best, you’re just going to get perfection again.
Why risk screwing up the movie for a similar end result? Because this time, it works. It really, really, really works. “Jurassic Park 3D” is excellent, and felt just as riveting the first time.
I hadn’t seen it on a screen bigger than 30-odd inches since I first saw it with my dad on a muggy summer day in 1993 at the Uptown in Washington, DC.
I know every scene in “Jurassic Park” inside and out, and I still found myself jumping at the film’s tense and surprising moments.
“Jurassic Park” was made for theatres just like velociraptors were made for hunting, and it’s still just as impressive as it was 20 years ago.
The visual effects by Industrial Light and Magic are still spectacularly realistic, and the John Williams score belted out over cinema speakers is epic as ever.
But “Jurassic Park 3D” wasn’t just awesome because “Jurassic Park is awesome”.
The 3D conversion really does make you feel like you’re watching a whole new movie.
From a technical perspective, the conversion is remarkable. It’s by far the best fake 3D I’ve ever seen, and I would hazard that it’s better than the 3D on some films that were actually shot that way.
The effect definitely worked best for wide shots with very long depth of field.
Take, for example, this shot of Dr Alan Grant marching up a hill with John Hammond’s grandchildren:
It’s a must-a-see movie, so entertaining.
