Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 We are SO excited. We are going to see a matinee tomorrow. Jurassic Park is the first movie my son ever saw when he came home from the hospital. Of course, he slept all the way through it in my arms . . . in a brand new THX theater. He's always been a great sleeper, LOL. But I think I really set something off in him by taking him to the theater as an infant, because the Jurassic Park movies have always been his favorites. We have the DVDs and have seen them all no less than 50 times apiece. So . . . yes. We are excited. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trulycrabby Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 DS11 didn't make longer than five minutes into Jurassic Park before we had to switch it off, so I doubt we will get to see JW. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksr5377 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 My DH is over the moon about this and has plans to go to the first showing with some of his movie buddies. It's nice he gets to go have fun with the guys and that we don't have to waste the money on a ticket for me =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yes! I loved Jurassic Park, was pretty sure Stephen Spielberg cracked when he brought the dinosaur to the US in Lost World, and loved JPIII. I'm hoping JW is just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yes, but for a different reason than most. My dog Chester's best canine friend Lola (they play almost daily) is owned by the mother of the actor who plays the young male lead. She and I have become good friends in recent months. So I'm looking forward to seeing her son Nick in the film. Bill 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoPlaceLikeHome Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I do want to see it but am worried I might get motion sickness like I did with the Hobbit. It is running at an IMAX theatre. Is there a lot of panning of the camera in circles like the Hobbit or continuous 3D like the Hobbit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Do you watch him on Melissa and Joey? He's adorably goofy. Nope. I did have coffee out of a Melissa and Joey mug at their house last week, but know nothing about the show. His Mom says teen girls sometimes go a little koo-koo when they spot him.

elegantlion Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I remember when the first movie came out, I had weird dreams for weeks. It was also a season of almost daily thunderstorms in our area (kind of rare). They were loud and angry storms. I worked on the 5th floor of a glass office complex set in a wooded environment. When the thunder rumbled through it would vibrate the glass. It didn't take too much to imagine a T-Rex stomping around in the woods as the reason for the vibrations. ; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that pretty much makes my kids famous!

Garga Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Sooooooo excited! My oldest is 12 and is finally old enough to go to movies with (cartoons don't count. Cartoons are misery.) We re-watched the first three movies these past two weeks to get ready. A couple of years ago Jurassic Park came back to theaters in 3D for the 20th (or something) anniversary. It was the first real movie that I took him to that wasn't a dumb kid movie. We had seen JP at home, but when he saw it in the theater he was astounded. We left the theater with him prattling on and on and on about how amazing and wonderful and awesome it was. He caught the movie bug that day. It's one of my favorite memories with him. I waited so many years to get through all those terrible kid movies until he was old enough to see stuff I like as well. Oh, I can hardly wait until tomorrow! A new dinosaur movie that none of us have seen before! Can't wait!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Excited, yes. We'll wait a bit though. We don't like it when the theater is jammed full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie in Ma Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 As much as I suspect it isn't going to be good, I still can't wait to go. Chris Pratt is a draw for me. Nostalgia. Looking forward to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimm Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 We will see it for sure but probably wait till it's out on dvd. We don't go to the theater very often.

Did you see it in 3D? Was there a lot of panning the camera in a circular motion so as to make one get motion sickness? Was it mostly 3D like the Hobbit which also made me sick?

Was it mostly 3D like the Hobbit which also made me sick? Do you regularly see 3D movies? Only asking because I get severe motion sickness from many things, and I would never choose to see a movie in a theatre in 3D. I don't care how much panning and landscape scenery there is, the 3D aspect itself is what makes me nauseated- not just movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen State Sue Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 We saw the original again when it was on TV last week. It still made me scream and jump out of my chair.

Rubix Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 We didn't see it in 3d. I'm prone to vertigo and migraines and didn't want to take the chance of getting sick. I did not notice a lot of circular panning of the camera, but I wasn't watching for that either. The 3d effects to me seemed like they would have been more things coming out towards you like when the dinosaurs attack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I kind of want to see it for nostalgia's sake. I saw the first one when I was pregnant with my oldest. I was so terrified, I was hyperventilating. That kid went on to have an 12 year love affair with dinosaurs and planned on being a paleontologist, like his idol, Paul Sereno. He is now a senior in college, studying evolutionary biology. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
