2. The 3D
This is the best usage of 3D Ive seen in any movie since Avatar. The only movie in the interim that came close was Hugo. But that was shot in 3D, and whats 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 Lexs leg, you feel like its 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, yknow, with dinosaurs). It all goes to show that post-conversion 3D can be just as effective as 3D cameras when its done right, and not rushed out the door to make a buck (Steven Spielberg shames you, Mr. Lucas).
