It is worth a second visit to see this 3D IMAX tour de force because if your memory fails you as to the plot, the horrifying new sights and sounds of this incredible adventure will revive it.

And as the butter drips on your hands, you can lick them with gratitude, thankful that you are in a movie theatre and not in Jurassic Park. - Carole Mallory, The Huffington Post
It's now twenty years later, and yes, Jurassic Park still matters. Yes, for its effects. Of course for its effects. But for more than just that. In today's age of omnipresent CGI, what sets it apart is everything else. -Zaki Hasan, on The Huffington Post
