Just recently I rewatched the first 3 Jurassic Park movies and found they aged really well. You never have the feeling that there's to much CGI because they striked an awesome balance between CGI, animatronics and sceneography (especially the first movie, but the other two are still above average imho). On the other hand, many of my friends agree that The Hobbit already looked bad when it came out.
The only weird thing about Jurassic Park 2 was the overuse of the T-Rex head. But the rest never feels "Hollywoodky".
Seeing the changes and the trailer, I have little hope for Jurassic World to be a movie where you can immerse deeply and forget that you're watching a movie.
- dr_zoidberg 12y agoI thought the first Jurassic Park had little to none CGI, going with animatronics, puppets and on-stage vissual effects. Is there any article to read about where and how CGI was used in that movie?
- bendavis381 12y agoAny shot where you can see the entire T-REX is CG AFAIK. FXGuide is always a great place for VFX related stuff: http://www.fxguide.com/featured/welcome-back-to-jurassic-park/ http://www.fxguide.com/featured/welcome-back-to-jurassic-par...
- dr_zoidberg 12y agoThat was a very good read, thanks for the link.
- smackfu 12y agoThe canonical source for info would be Cinefex issue #55, which came out at the time and went through all the special effects shots. I think you can get it for $5 through their iPad app. Apparently it is four minutes of CG out of fourteen minutes of dinosaur effects. But four minutes of CG is a lot of shots for the era.
