92% Jurassic Park: An IMAX 3D Experience

All Critics (96) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (97) | Rotten (8) | DVD (39)

The enthralling man-vs.-nature parable based on the late Michael Crichton's best-selling novel hasn't aged one bit.

The 3-D process adds not just dimension but depth - a technological extension of cinematographer Gregg Toland's deep-focus innovations in The Grapes of Wrath and Citizen Kane. The change in perspective creates greater intensity.

I'm a fan of this movie. It is thrilling, and the 3-D treatment is a nice enhancement.

This movie doesn't just stand the test of time, it transcends it.

"Jurassic Park" remains an absolute thrill from a Spielberg in top form: Funny, scary, fast-moving and full of just-right details.

"Jurassic Park" was impressive in 1993. Twenty years later, it's flawless.

A classic gets even better.

Steven Spielbeg's 1993 tale of an island plagued dinosaurs running amok holds up surprisingly well in the special effects category.

The film is a classic and the chance to see it on the big screen again (or for the first time) should not be missed

Sentiment is explained by science as the family impulse that motivates so many Steven Spielberg stories is revealed to be an evolutionary imperative in this near-perfect action-adventure.

[Looks] better not only than effects-driven movies of the same period, but better, frankly, than half of what gets released nowadays.

Kids who love dinosaurs will love it. And who doesn't?

confirms both Spielberg's mastery of cinematic thrills and the comparatively empty bombast of today's summer tentpole movies, even the better ones.

Jurassic Park shows us a director in transition, and the film captures his transformation in its own kind of cinematic amber.

[The] 3D [conversion] provides the definitive version of this classic film. Jurassic Park has been transformed with with artistry, nuance and sophistication, and it's an absolute must-see during this brief run.

The 3D effects had me nearly jumping out of my seat. Some say Hollywood is converting too many old films to 3D. But, "Jurassic Park" was the perfect choice. There's nothing more fun than sharing a seat with a snapping dinosaur.

Spielberg treats us as he does his characters, leading us into a strange land and expecting us to make it out with all our faculties intact; it's a tall order, given the heart-stopping, bloodcurdling, limbs-numbing excitement packed into the second hour.

It is as if time has passed the movie by. "Jurassic Park" remains solid entertainment, but the awe and wonder have faded.

The thrill of seeing live dinosaurs on screen is not as acute today as it was 20 years ago admittedly, but there is still some 3D awe left in the creations that roared 65 billion years ago...

The 3D isn't pushed on the audience, but it does reveal the amount of depth that Spielberg actually put into the film 20 years ago.

While it's not the most profound of Spielberg's works or the most entertaining from a popcorn perspective, it's one of the most technically flawless movies he's ever produced.

Jurassic Park 3D is like being reunited with an old friend; an old friend that wants to eat you and maul you to death, but still. A classic is reborn in glorious IMAX with a vibrantly stunning use of 3D.

If releasing the film in 3-D is the only way to get it back in theaters, then the gimmick is an acceptable addition. The 3-D is good. But when a movie is this near flawless, nothing is needed to make it better.

The 3D conversion ruins everything, like the comet that killed the dinosaurs, making Jurassic Park the rare amusement I'd prefer to revisit at home.

A beast of a movie is gifted a superfluous-but-superb rouging of the cheeks, offering fanatics something new to study while newcomers will be ruined for any future television airings.

Dave Gold, founder of 99 Cents Only Stores, dies

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Dave Gold, the founder of the 99 Cents Only Stores more than three decades ago who saw it expand into a billion-dollar empire, has died. He was 80.

Gold died Monday of an apparent heart attack at his Los Angeles home, his son, Jeff Gold, told the Los Angeles Times in a story published Saturday.

Gold was 50 when he opened the first store in 1982. He told the Times in 2003 that while working at his father's liquor store, he discovered that items he discounted to, say, 98 cents or $1.02 never sold out but a 99-cent label was magic.

"When I put a 99-cent sign on anything, it was gone in no time," he said. "I thought, wouldn't it be fun to have a store where everything was good quality and everything was 99 cents?"

He gave the dollar-store concept, which at the time was perceived as retail graveyards for expired or broken products, a fresh spin by making the stores bigger, brighter and better organized. His stores eventually spread to middle-class and even upscale neighborhoods in California, Arizona, Nevada and Texas.

The chain became a family enterprise ? Gold's three children and son-in-law worked there in some capacity ? and the chain's ads displayed his sense of humor. One congratulated the Los Angeles Dodgers "on losing 99 games." Another wished Joan Rivers "Happy 99th Facelift."

The company was sold in 2011 for about $1.6 billion.

Gold became a multimillionaire but lived modestly. His family said he lived in the same middle-class home for nearly five decades with Sherry, his wife of 55 years, and drove the same Toyota Prius he purchased in 2000.

Besides his wife and children, Gold was survived by five grandchildren.

The cold weather of the Coast has nothing to do with the weather ...

The executive director of the National Institute of meteorology and hydrology (Inamhi), Carlos Naranjo, said that the current climate which is being experienced in the country,? i.e., with heavy rains in isolated areas and mornings with low temperatures on the coast, is considered ?normal?.

Naranjo said that from midnight on Tuesday until noon yesterday, there was a slight change in the wind circulation, usually it goes from East to West, but now is going? from South to North and East to Northwest.

?This mass brings another kind of physical condition and is within the variability, it is something temporary, but this permits the entering of cold air to the southern part, which is evidenced with some cold in the mornings, but it does not mean that? the rainy season is over?, said the official.

According to Naranjo,? it may expected some punctual downpours, but less intense than those reported in the country so far in the year.

?The problem in the coast is that there are plenty of stagnant water, which, by evaporation, forms clouds and generates shower rains with some thunderstorms?, said Naranjo.
