I guess the reason it hasn't become so popular is because it can be tire-some. A lot of people just want to relax while watching a film. This seat doesn't exactly offer that type of luxury. Hehe!

Arielle-Do you have any Movie Theatres near you that are called Emagine?
That's where I go. They're considered the most up-dated Cinema in my area.
I suppose you can't relax in a movie like thiscregardless of it's format. Perhaps for the first half of the film. Second half is sure to wake up anybody. Forget the roar of the T-Rex. It's the Raptors and their high pitch scareaming that will make you go deaf.

No ma'am, I don't.  In our small town, we have a theatre in which I really try to support. It is older and holds 3 movies at a time. Gotta support the small town businesses' though. |

I enjoyed them. Growing up I was really fascinated with the idea of dinosaurs still am. However, I'm not going to be going to re-see it in theaters since I don't really wanna waste the money when I already own it on DVD and VHS. ^^
The first film was by far the best though. The second and third were just alright by my standards.

So I finally had the chance to catch this in theaters on Saturday. The 3-D was surprisingly good for an after the fact conversion. Mostly it was just fun to experience this in theaters again, especially hearing John Williams' majestic score.

Well... I decided to skip the 3D and just purchased the DVD. I plan on reenjoying this movie with some popcorn in the comort of my own living room. Yay me!

It sounds like my brother is going that route, albeit for the 3-D blu-ray instead.

I have yet to endulge in the world of blu ray. I know I need too, but haven't broken down.
I'm technology dumb. So what, may I ask, is the difference? Between Blu Ray and DVD?

The big difference is picture and sound quality. A blu-ray disc has 6 times the storage capacity of a DVD, so the picture quality and sound is a lot better. If you've ever switched channels between regular and HD, that's the difference we're talking about. Blu-ray discs are in HD. DVDs are in standard definition. Since most blu-ray players upconvert your standard DVD to near HD quality, the difference may not be as apparent.

Hmmm... This may be worth a look. Atleast before they convert and I'll be forced to do so. Lol

The good news is that blu-ray players play regular DVDs just fine, so you will not have to convert your entire library to blu-ray and can continue to purchase a DVD if it suits you. For instance, I was able to save around $60 by purchasing all 3 seasons of the original Star Trek on DVD instead of blu-ray. I would have preferred blu-ray, but the price worked.

So after spending much of my weekend watching the blu-ray bonus features for all 3 Jurassic Park films, the audio commentary on JPIII and watching The Lost World itself, I decided to re-read Jurassic Park.
I haven't read the book since 1993. I read it just a week before the movie was released. In re-reading the book, I can't believe how many changes they made. There were some incredibly intense sequences cut from the book. The original T-Rex encounter was very different.
In no way do these changes diminish how much I love the film. But at the same time, I wonder what a more "faithful" adaptation would have looked like.
