One of the greats

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2000)

One thing I will never ever forget is a wonderful day in late June 1993. This is one of the few times a movie has ever lived up to my full expectations, and then swept past them.
I was pumped from the beginning. It was the first full digital movie I had seen, and it was one of the first period. The great DTS then THX logos started things off. I could not have prepared myself for the sound of the gasp at the first CGI dino shown early in the movie in full daylight. I've never experienced such a thrill, of seeing FX unimaginable at the time.
The entire audience was stunned. I've never before or since heard a gasp like that generated by any movie. Thank you Spielberg, it's a memory I'll always cherish.
