[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 6659368, member: 89838"] I saw this last week when a friend invited me to see it. (Normally, I don't go to movies unless I'm on a date--Netflix is my friend.) I have to say, this was the first time they actually got the movie RIGHT. (Yeah, you aren't hallucinating: I said something good about a movie.) This gave us what all the other JP movies have failed to do: dinosaurs interacting with each other. And by interacting, I mean Fighting. The characters were interesting and appropriate. The children were not over-the-top annoying, but seemed pretty accurate, even if most of what they were talking about in dialog was not relevant to the plot. JW was both more honest to the original book and respectful of the first movie than JP2 or 3. That was a fine balancing act. The original book was NOT a children's novel: it was a sci-fi novel by Michael Creighton. It was good, innovative, and had a lot of hard social biting commentary. Speilberg dumbed it down heavily when he made the original movie, gutting it of all meaning the way Disney did with its fairy tale movies. Where the movie did disappoint, for me, was that with all the 3-D tech, in most of the scenes the Helicopter and the panoramic overviews of the park looks like cheesy fake models or children's toys. In several scenes (like the canoes in the river), the scale of the vegetation was way off (either that grass is 10 feet tall, or...) Half the time the conical building looked like something from a train set, rather than a real building. [/QUOTE]
