One of the few movies that did justice to the book that spawned it.

I'd love for Cinemark to bring that back to the big screen. Went and saw Back to the Future last week because I had never seen it on the big screen, would love to do that to Jurassic park. It definitely holds up well.

Man, the book was DAAAARRRRRK. Especially the chapter that had Nedry's death. I really enjoyed the film and the book.

Jurrasic Park and Lord of the Rings made me go back and read the books.
I love JP - but the book was so much better, to me anyway

Maybe it's just me, but if you've seen one Jurassic Park movie, you've pretty much seen them all.
Dinosaurs are cloned, crap happens and they get loose, panic and chaos ensue, some people die/some live-----------THE END.

I watched JP in theaters for the 30th anniversary a few years ago. I can’t remember if it was IMAX or a regular screen. Regardless, it was worth every penny. The 35th anniversary should be right around the corner.

It really does. I never knew John Hammond was David Attenborough's brother, but on a rewatch you can see it and hear it in his voice

The LPO will perform the music while the movie is playing and it is phenomenal. If you ever have the chance to do it I highly recommend it. I have seen Jurassic Park and Home Alone and they are both fantastic. Very impressive how perfectly timed the music is and how they do not miss a single note.

you say this like it's a bad thing.

When a franchise makes movie after movie and barely changes the premise of the movie, then yes, it's a bad thing in my opinion.
Look at the "Jaws" franchise. By the time it was over most of the movies that followed the original were laughable.

A movie event that made me feel as I did as a child seeing a BIG movie in the theater.

I enjoyed both. If you made the movie exactly like the book it would have been a 4 hour movie

I just finished the first book. Wow there were quite a few changes and I have to say I did enjoy the book versions of a lot of stuff more.
Obviously the film is great and still holds up but Hammond in the book is a completely different character.
Swapping the kids because Spielberg had told the boy he'd put him in his next film and he was too young to play the older sibling is a fun fact.
The river, aviary, and waterfall scenes all wouldve been great in the movie if technology was better. Im aware we got some of those scenes in later movies anyway so it worked out.

I also finished the book for the first time a few weeks ago. I thought it was awesome. But the movie is much better for me personally just because it’s one of my top five all time and has a very special place in my heart/memory. I caught that in theaters with my dad (which was rare) when I was 13 and it was one of the most memorable theater experiences ever for me.
But the coolest thing about the book was how easy it was to read. Each chapter is like 10-15 pages max. And some a good bit shorter. Was a breeze to read. I liked it a lot.

the greatest theatre experience of all time.
To me, the T Rex scene is the greatest special effects scene in film history.

Yeah i zoomed through it. Its weird that we avoided reading it for so long. I just felt like I'd already seen it and knew the story but when i picked it up i realized that didnt matter.
