I can remember only a few times in my life that I've been in a movie theater and said, "Wow" out loud. The first was the summer of 1977 when I was seven and was taken to see the movie that would change my life, "Star Wars."

Later, as an adult, Debbie and I went to see "Titanic" in IMAX, and it was as if history had come to life in GIANT size. In between, was when we were still dating and went to see "Jurassic Park."

When those dinosaurs first appeared on-screen-EVERYONE in the theater said, "Wow." Since then, I've never missed seeing any of the "Jurassic..." movies in the theaters.

Until this summer.

I don't know what happened? Maybe we were just too busy to find the time. Maybe with our son getting older and not wanting to hang out with us as much, we're not going to the movies with the frequency we once did. In any event, I missed seeing "Jurassic Word: Fallen Kingdom."

So imagine my joy when I discovered as of yesterday morning, I could download the film through my Apple TV.

WOO HOO!

If you're in the same boat, here's a quick synopsis: "Three years after the destruction of the Jurassic World theme park, Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) return to the island of Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs from a volcano that's about to erupt. They soon encounter terrifying new breeds of gigantic dinosaurs, while uncovering a conspiracy that threatens the entire planet."
