Jurassic Park | Location: | Gallimimus |
| Features: | dts; use of side surrounds | | Description: | Great demo scene for split surrounds. The gallimimus herd stampedes around and past the characters. You can almost discern each dinosaur as it passes by your seat. Similar to the slo-mo gun shots in the Matrix rooftop scene ("dodge this"). Short but fun demo. | |
