REVIEW
Andrew:
Hello readers! So a few nights ago Sarah and I decided to go out and check out
the 3D re-release of Steven Spielberg’s 1993 classic Jurassic Park. One of the
main reasons we went to see it is that, even though we own it on Blu-ray and
we’ve seen it tens of times, Sarah had never actually seen it on the big screen
plus it has been 20 years since I’ve seen it in theatres when I was just six
years old.
So we’re doing this review as a bit of a Retro
Review, so first what I want to talk about is what it was like to see
it on the big screen compared to how we normally watch it on TV, then to talk
about seeing it through the eyes of how we are now compared to when we both
originally saw it, and lastly what effect the 3D had on it.
Sarah:
What I loved most about watching it on the big screen was that - like when we
saw Titanic
3D in the theatre last year, which I had never done before - you really got what was so
ground-breaking and awesome about the movie when it originally came out.
It’s definitely dated now, but you still got that impact of
how it would feel to see man and actual dinosaurs interacting. I mean this was
a breakthrough movie, a first of it’s kind, so it was cool to get to live that
feeling again. It definitely brought back a sense of nostalgia and wonderment
that the movie originally had.
