5 Reasons To See Jurassic Park 3D

2. The 3D

This is the best usage of 3D I€™ve seen in any movie since Avatar. The only movie in the interim that came close was Hugo. But that was shot in 3D, and what€™s especially impressive here is that this is a mere post-conversion job. The movie was never shot in 3D, but it sure as heck looks like it was. The 3D does not jump out at you; instead, like Avatar, it completely immerses you in Jurassic Park. It takes you right out of your theater seat and into the jeep beside Grant and Malcolm. When the T-Rex attacks them, you experience the danger too. When the Raptor snaps after Lex€™s leg, you feel like it€™s snapping at your leg. When Grant sees the Brachiosaur, you may as well be sitting on a patch of grass right beside him. The attractions come alive and Jurassic Park becomes not unlike a real zoo that you're driving through on a safari tour (except, y€™know, with dinosaurs). It all goes to show that post-conversion 3D can be just as effective as 3D cameras when it€™s done right, and not rushed out the door to make a buck (Steven Spielberg shames you, Mr. Lucas).
