Trailer Tuesday: Jurassic Park 3D + Free Pass

20 years ago, a film was released which would have an enormous impact, and not just from the T-Rex's size 500 sneakers. Jurassic Park, based on a book by Michael Crichton and directed by Steve Spielberg, changed the face of film-making with its use of animatronics and special effects. Still in its infancy, this technology would be a catalyst in the motion picture industry. Not to mention, would affect a generation of movie-goers.

I first saw Jurassic Park when it was broadcast for the first time on network television. If I recall correctly, NBC was granted the rights to show it. At roughly seven years old (the film came out when I was six), I was captivated with the movie. I remember watching as the raptors chased Laura Dern, as Samuel L. Jackson's character advised everyone to hold onto their butts. What I recall most vividly, however, is the T-Rex chowing down on the lawyer who had holed himself inside an outhouse. That scene has been burned in my consciousness, so much so that it inspired one of my most vivid nightmares of childhood.

To be honest, Jurassic Park terrified me. I was convinced that somewhere someone had built their own island inhabited by dinosaurs. Jurassic Park also fueled my interest in paleontology. Just after the movie, an exhibit opened at a local museum which had large animatronic dinosaurs. It was awesome and scary all at the same time. In short, I was forever changed by this movie, whether or not I was scared of it as a kid.

And now, it's being released in 3D in just over a week. I am so looking forward to seeing it on the big screen for the first time. Thanks to my friends at Fathom Events, you can too! Information after the video.
