Jurassic Park III (2001)
We went to it in spite of the bad press and loved it.
We went knowing that the plot was "we land and dinosaurs try to eat us!".
It is thrilling to see the real life dinos! How can people not get immersed in the feeling of "Oh my god, I'm gonna die!"?
Some did die. Heroics and scares abounded. We were glad the movie lasted no longer than it did.
This had some of our favorite actors also: Neill, Leoni, Macy, Jeter and Dern.
How the extinct creatures were portrayed is anyone's guess, and I support the movie's version.
Now if Hollywood or England would make a Tarzan or Jungle Book with real actors and computer generated animals - we'd go in a heart beat.
Journey Into Amazing Caves (2001)
Spell binding - thank goodness for brave people like them
My daughter Maria and I were thrilled with so many scenes, especially:
the kayaks plummeting down waterfalls while searching for new caves to explore;
the scary heights of caves in the middle of cliffs only reachable by rappelling and/or crossing rivers by rope many, many feet high up;
descending into ice caverns where you hear the icicles falling and the glacier groaning;
and finally, the holding of our breath as they swam under water through body width openings in search of microorganisms, which was their main goal.
The plane/helicopter rides were breathtaking also - seemingly going to crash you right into the side of a mountain.
Their adventures in Iceland and North America, for the main sake of finding medical cures for the future, will never be forgotten.
(And, if my daughter and wife aren't reading this, the ladies were sure cute, besides being brave, dedicated, athletic and intelligent.)
