Jurassic Park is the next 3D conversion film in line
Mar. 16, 2012
Why go through the hassle of writing a script, hiring actors, a director, a composer, editor, etc., etc., for a fourth film when you can just take the first film from a franchise, convert it to 3D and re-release it in theaters?
And thus, JURASSIC PARK 3D was born! Universal is the latest studio to jump on the conversion game, following on the heels of Disney's success with THE LION KING 3D and the likely clean sweep that TITANIC 3D will make. If you're annoyed by this news (like I am), then all I can tell you is that the average moviegoer is to blame. It's no secret that we vote with our cash, and THE LION KING 3D's $94 million take is simply Disney "making it rain." The original budget for the film was $45 million. It's original domestic take was $312 million, making a total of $422 million (and that's just domestic box office!). That's swimming in profit, folks.
STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE 3D wasn't as successful as the others, but still managed to rake $42 million from the masses, providing a half-assed conversion and pod-racing 3D glasses to vacuum suck the money from our wallets.
With all that being said, I'm sure there are some serious number crunchers in Hollywood, having very serious meetings with charts and graphs and shit that point to huge profits with low risk and a guaranteed, built-in audience to pay for it all.
Only YOU have the power to quash the 3D conversion craze. However, if you're happy to see little Tim get electrocuted on a fence, dated CGI, Dennis Nedry get spit on, or Samuel L. Jackson's bloody arm in three dimensions, then save up your dollars as JURASSIC PARK 3D crashes into theaters...again, on July 19, 2013.

The acting, CGI, storytelling and music make this film far more three-dimensional than 3D glasses ever will.

I only wish instead of 3D they updated the CGI or something like the re-released Star Wars films. That way I don't have to suffer through watching a great movie with shitty 3D.
And I'm not against 3D, if I want to see a movie and it just so happens to be in 3D then I'll pay the extra 2 bucks.

Big surprise...
I have enjoyed 2D films either just as much or even more.
Die please.

Up to this day, only Avatar and Hugo were the only movies where I noticed some extra dimension.

This shit (3D conversion) just reminds me when Ted Turner had that horrible idea back in the 80's to colorize all black and white movies.

Maybe
Why 3D?!
I love 3D
YES!!!
That said... now that JP is next, they can stop. That's like the one movie I was really hoping they'd convert just so I could see it and even mentioned it maybe a week ago. But I would prefer they would just make NEW 3D movies... but I guess I can't be selfish... I bet lots have their own "special film" they'd like to see re-release and if 3D is the way it's gonna get done, then so be it I guess.
IF DONE WELL WITH THE RIGHT MOVIES
I'd go see it
I had the chance to see Jurassic Park on the big screen twice this year and the movie holds up pretty well 20 years later. The cgi and special effects are still better than about 90% of the movies coming out nowadays.
I wouldn't go see it in 3D but I would in 2D any day!
