Jurassic Park gets a 3D theatrical re-release for its 30th anniversary

Ten years ago, Steven Spielberg‘s classic dinosaur movie Jurassic Park was given the 3D treatment for a twentieth anniversary theatrical re-release. Now the 3D version of Jurassic Park is set to return to theatres for the film’s thirtieth anniversary. The folks at ComicBook.com noticed that tickets for Jurassic Park 3D screenings are already available for purchase on the Regal Movies website.

Here’s how Regal promotes the re-release: “Experience one of the biggest films in motion picture history with director Steven Spielberg’s ultimate thrill ride, Jurassic Park. Featuring Academy Award-winning visual effects and groundbreaking filmmaking that has been hailed as ‘a triumph of special effects artistry’ (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times), this epic film is sheer movie-making magic that was 65 million years in the making. Jurassic Park takes you to an amazing theme park on a remote island where dinosaurs once again roam the earth and five people must battle to survive among the prehistoric predators. Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough, discover the breathtaking adventure you will want to experience again and again.“

Spielberg directed Jurassic Park from a screenplay by Michael Crichton and David Koepp that was based on Crichton’s novel of the same name. In the film, paleontologists Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler and mathematician Ian Malcolm are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park’s mastermind, billionaire John Hammond, assures everyone that the facility is safe, they find out otherwise when various ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt.

Neill, Dern, Goldblum, and Attenborough were joined in the cast by Bob Peck, Martin Ferrero, B.D. Wong, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, Samuel L. Jackson, and Wayne Knight.

I can’t say I was blown away by the 3D version of Jurassic Park when I saw it ten years ago, but at least these re-releases give audiences the chance to see the movie on the big screen again, regardless of how many dimensions the image has.
