Unforgivable letdown
6 September 1999
This movie was a huge letdown for everyone in our group. The plot was wafer-thin and could have been an acceptable veneer for the special effects, except that they always cut away from the effects just when they were getting good (a sure sign that they were saving on CGI budget, which, on an 80-foot screen is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what a viewer like myself will find satisfying). The sound in this movie is phenomenal, but hardly makes up for the wasted 120 frames-per-second footage of a girl walking through a museum or the forest. Recommended only for children who are fanatical about dinosaurs.

(note 1: most everyone in our group developed headaches of near migraine proportions due to the imperfect 3D filming technology. It seems to over-converge the up-close images causing your eyes to repeatedly focus on two images that are out of alignment. Maybe it was the theatre (Luxor in Las Vegas)...

(note 2: the Into The Deep IMAX is equally awful)
