So who's going to see Jurassic Park 3D this weekend?

[Punishment1o1]

Still trying to decide which to see opening weekend. This or the new Evil Dead. I'm more excited to finally see this on the big screen and will go with it because I'm sure Evil Dead will stay in theaters longer.

Will you see it in 2D or 3D?

Which one? Jurassic Park? Probably 3D since this probably be the only time I will ever get to see the movie on the big screen.

The Cinemark theater that I like going to, is more or less forcing you to see it in 3D.
The 2D version is only being shown once a day.

depending on how soon I get out of work tomorrow I'll try to catch it, I've lost count of how many times I've seen Jurassic Park but I can't pass up the chance to watch it at a theater again

My thoughts exactly, never seen it on the silver screen; but i've heard it's an amazing time at the movies.

I can't wait.

My favorite scene, is when the guy backs into the outhouse and lands on the seat of the toilet,
trying to escape from the approaching dinosaur.

Then the walls of the outhouse collapse around him, completely exposing him
to the dinosaur, that's standing in front of him, eyeballing him for a couple of
seconds, before gobbling him up.

I'm ducking out of the office early tomorrow and taking a half day to catch an IMAX matinee. Can't wait.

I will totally be seeing this! A total childhood favorite of mine.

I dont really care about the 3D, but any chance to see it back on the big screen is great. And to get to see it on an IMAX screen with IMAX sound?!? BONUS!

[R3P0]

Ill be going Saturday most likely

Hope you don't get fired.

With jobs at a premium, because of the piss poor economy, I would hate to see you lose yours, because of a movie.

I'm going Saturday night, hopefully. Jurassic Park was such a big part of my childhood, and as a result I'm thrilled to see it on the big screen once again.

[Dubstar]

Monday for me - 3D, 7.1 audio !!! I'm glad to see that AMC booked this at the Uptown, since that's where I first saw this in the theater and what an experience! (even without the 3D aspect)

I have four weeks of PTO banked so I'm dipping into that. I hear what you're saying though, I wouldn't take off without making sure my boss is good with it.

I can't believe that my local Cinemark theater, isn't putting Jurassic Park, in there XD auditorium, with the HUGE screen.

Instead, they've got that crappy G.I. Joe flick playing in there.

The 3D Conversion turned out to be FANTASTIC! At least for me!

My review of JP3D:

The Good Things first: The 3D was wonderful! On a par with Titanic 3D!
Easily one of the best conversion jobs ever.
Didn't find any evidence of massive DNR, the picture looked clean with lots of detail.
The colours were rich and slightly warm, very film-like. But didn't look too much like a 90s movie to me, as it was so clean, and that's a good thing!
Sounded good too. An additional aspect of the soundtrack I will discuss below. There were quite a few pop out moments in addition to a very realistic depth perspective.
It was pure Nostalgia for me.

Now the things that bothered me:
1.The aspect ratio has been tampered with once again. The image has been zoom-boxed, cutting on all four sides, quite a lot. As a result Dinos heads get cut off slightly, eyes at the top edge of the screen get chopped off. The cropping was distracting(the ratio was still 1.85:1). The Imax 3D trailer was framed at 1.85:1, and there were even comparisons made with the Bluray(which was cropped), the 3D version was even more cropped than the Bluray. The framing of the IMAX3D trailer is exactly how it looked in the Laserdisc and VHS as well, but the cinema version has been cropped further than the 1.85:1 trailer cut. It makes me worry about the Bluray 3D.

2. The VFX models didn't lend themselves well to 3D. The lack of detail was clearly apparent and in contrast with the rest of the surroundings, which were 35mm footages.

Surprising things that I noticed: Lot more detail, individual objects, even the minutest ones are now clearly noticeable.
I also noticed the Pace of the film, it was like a roadrunner, one thing after another, barely ever slowing down.
I mean I've seen the movie countless times and know every single frame by heart, but never has its pace felt so relentless, my goodness( and no there was no speedup issues).
New additions:
There were definitely quite a few additions very clearly noticeable-
1. When the thunder strikes and the lawyer crouches, asking the doctors to head back to their cars, they have added a lightning flash visually, which was never there. And It makes the impact of the scene much better!
There are minor additional sounds added to the soundtrack(not the music track), extra velociraptor sounds when the deadly duo enter the kitchen, one of which clearly had a high-pitched cat sound.

2. The animatronic shots were the most impressive in 3D. However the final shot, when the T-Rex rears up to its full height in the Visitors center lobby and roars, knocked the earlier poor vfx 3D shots' balls out of the park. That last shot when the Rex Roars and the Banners fall was ABSOLUTELY EPIC, as it was in 2D when it originally came out. It had GREAT depth with the Tail swinging out of the screen+ it was highly detailed. I don't know how they could get the last CG shot with the T-Rex to look so detailed, imagined it to be lackluster like the other CG shots, the colour scheme of the Rex also looked slightly different, more colourful that is.
I'm catching it again on Sunday!
These didn't at all damage the experience for me, though the cat sound was a bit annoying and unrealistic(Well Gary Rydstrom succumbed to a little temptation it seems).

I don't understand why they had to crop the picture when it's still 1.85:1.
That would bother me big time.
Glad I didn't waste my money seeing this cropped version in 3D.

Thanks for letting us know that they ruined the picture.
