Ozymandias Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Jurassic Park is one of those movies with insane repeat value. Great characters, great story, dozens of iconic and memorable scnes, great soundtrack, magical and suspenseful. Avatar?

Ozymandias Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) so you changed your mind, since in a previous post you said you preferred Avatar That was a long time ago and I just saw Jurassic Park 3D. First time I saw it in like over 10 years. I thought Avatar was rather "decent" when it came out, but it has aged horribly with me.

Webslinger Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'll go against the grain and say Avatar. Both have gorgeous special effects and (very easily) arguably less-than-stellar characterizations, but Avatar is the more complete and more exhilarating experience for me, even with having now seen Jurassic Park on the big screen.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I do not even remember Avatar. I have not seen Jurassic Park in a long time but I still remember the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Had Avatar been released first, people would most likely say Avatar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Had Avatar been released first, people would most likely say Avatar. Exactly. Avatar and Jurassic Park are tailored on the same fabric. People were both stunned and amazed by the groundbreaking and breathtaking visuals and then the nice story (Jurassic Park is just a bunch of people being chased by dinosaurs in a park) but they are not the masterpieces of their authors. So there's no point in trying to glorify one to bash the other. Jurassic Park is Spielberg's Avatar. Avatar is Cameron's Jurassic Park. Breathtaking visuals first, simple and straight-forward story second. Both box-office phenomenon. So just because Jurassic Park came first, of course people think it's a much better movie than Avatar that came 16 years after. (But Avatar don't have annoying children as protagonists ) (LOL at Shpongle editing his 6 months old message today where he stated he preferred Avatar over Jurassic Park just because he is on the Avatar hate parade nowadays. What a clown). Edited April 15, 2013 by dashrendar44 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil in the Blank Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I think Jessie and Dash need to find a room. Cameron has made better films than Jurassic Park. None of them star Blue people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I dont understand. Why were the kids in JP annoying? Because they screamed a lot? LOL Edited April 15, 2013 by vc2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I said in substance, honeybunny... Cameron's Avatar = Spielberg's Jurassic Park. None are their best movies. Therefore, I said Cameron has made much better films than Avatar/Jurassic Park. Bueno, Comprendes Lo que estoy diciendo, amigo?

LOL The kids were essential to the making Jurassic Park good imo. They gave sam neil a character arc (i.e. disliking kids at the start and cuddling them by the end) which helped us identify with his character and hence we give a shit when dinosaurs are trying to eat him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
