Jurassic Park (1993)
8/10
Still terrific

Just caught a 3D screening of "Jurassic Park" a while ago and it's still a very entertaining slice of popcorn fare; in fact it's the Steven Spielberg us movie aficionados knew and loved.

The 3D effects look good and it was certainly fun to experience the film this way. The ground breaking visual effects (some 20 years ago; man how time flies!) still hold up extremely well.

As for the film; the 3D doesn't make it better but it doesn't detract anything from it either. Compared to today's big budget summer flicks "Jurassic Park" would undoubtedly be considered fairly slow moving but it builds momentum very well and climaxes in a number of knock out suspense sequences.

It's fun to look back at the cast 20 years back; Jeff Goldblum is fun here and you can easily see how his fledgling career got second wind with his performance here; Sam Neill demonstrates why he could have been a possible successor for Roger Moore as James Bond and Laura Dern was quite the eye candy in 1993. And now we know that Wayne Knight didn't die a nasty death; he simply went into hiding and found work as a postal worker in New York :)

"Jurassic Park 3D" was a fun night at the movies. Spielberg really knew how to make great adventure flicks and his old movies hold up really well.
