Jurassic park was the first to use DTS Digital Surround Sound. It was beating advertised as the new standard in Digital Sound and it was. Nothing came close to it.
the sound was INSANE for that movie. The theater literally rumbled during that first T-Rex scene. That was an incredible experience.
the rest of the movie? eh. The book was incredible and I always felt like the movie just felt like a kid's movie for the most part. Handled most of the terrifying stuff with kid gloves... or not at all. I was super disappointed walking out of that flick.
P.S. If memory serves me correctly I went to see Cliffhanger with my then girlfriend instead of seeing JP on opening night. After two of my actions movies in a row....she picked our next movie (Sleepless in Seattle).

I was disappointed that Hammond lived
I thought Malcolm died as well, no?
Yup
Hammond was completely different in the movie versus the book.
But i just think at this point, dinos might be a little played out.
Agreed. I had never experienced sound like that in a theater before. In fact, I went to see a different movie on the weekend it opened and when that T-Rex scene started, we could hear it in our theater and feel the bass.
It made me regret not seeing it right away. The next day I went because I had to see the movie after that. The T-Rex was simply amazing. That and when the Velociraptors screamed.
I guess my problem with the trailer is if we assume the movies were reality, who in the world would possibly think it's a good idea to actually open the park, and create a mutant dinosaur? Given what happened the first 3 times just seems completely implausible.
But I'll certainly go and see it.
Good point. Maybe it was an evil scientist.
