The 3D version is good

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2013)

Wow, has it been 20 years since this movie was first released?? I can report that they've done a pretty good job with the 3D version.
It was a pleasure to see this classic again, although it is starting to show its age a little. (The grand scene of the grazing dinosaurs that blew me away in 1993 no longer seemed so thrilling. We've seen cinematographers do so much more since then. And it seems almost quaint to see characters who are unable to contact each other by smartphones.)
However, the dinosaurs are as lifelike and scary as ever. This time around I noticed some of the things I might have missed when I first saw the film: Neill's handsome smile; Dern's warmth and prettiness; the fine performances by Wayne Knight and Jeff Goldblum. And I had failed to notice the involvement of Richard Attenborough and a very young BD Wong.
