Jurassic Park heralded a revolution in movies as profound as the coming of sound in 1927.
The Jurassic Park Period
Alexander Huls for The Atlantic on the CGI advances in Jurassic Park:
Jurassic Park’s revolution was technological, but more importantly, it was popular. If Spielberg and Lucas saw the future of cinema in those shots, it was the public who made that future a reality. Sam Neill and Laura Dern’s stunned awe upon seeing a real-looking brachiosaur on its hind legs eating from a tree was a perfect mirror of our own. Audiences believed. When that dinosaur’s feet came down with a thud, the reverberations rippled past dumbstruck viewers and into moviemaking itself.
I remember seeing that very shot in a movie theater and being completely and utterly amazed.
High-res
Top Gun was surprisingly good in 3D (though I liked the IMAX aspect more). This should be even better.
