you answered your own question, anon
>>87305422
remember when movies were enjoyable and now theyre stupid shit designed to either satisfy the palate of infantised adults who want to larp as superheroes or remakes?
this era is fucking garbage
The special effects in this look better than any of the sequels. How the fuck did they pull it off in 1993?
>>87307771
Most of the key dinosaur scenes were shot at night during a storm so everything looks better.

Pretty much this, cgi looks better in the dark because it's harder to see the cracks

1. Excellent acting
2. "Show, don't tell"
3. Music kicks in RIGHT as the dinosaur is shown
Spielberg crafted a masterpiece here
I hated how they gave the little boy's computer skills to the retarded girl.

4. Cinematography that frames the people (audience) as miniscule. Framing the dinosaur as the size of huge trees, creating a sense of vulnerability that will continue for the entire movie. A vulnerability that is conquered when humans triumph over the dinosaurs. A win for mankind. A war movie without the soldiers.

could those dinosaurs stand on their back legs like that, though? just thinking of all those tons needed to be raised
>>87309964
Youd have to ask Sam Neil. Probably though, all animals get up on their hind legs that I can think of.
>>87309964
Brachiosaurus in question couldn't. Not quite due to weight restrictions as much as the fact that their hind leg anatomy wan't really optimal for that kind of stance. .

Darkness and rain helps, but the main reason it looks good is because of the extensive use of old school animatronic puppetry (pic related). Only the legs of the T-Rex were CG.
This is why Jurassic World looked like shit. They only used garbage-ass CGI.

Man, when you can't see the legs it looks like a crocodile

>>87312576
crocodiles ARE dinosaurs..jeez didn't your public school teach you this shit?
>>87313137
Crocs used to eat dinos for breakfast
>>87312317
Jurassic World used animatronics in places but for some reason they ended up looking like CGI anyway.
>>87313338
CGI environments and too many bright colours
>>87306416
Agreed. The Hollywood blockbuster as a quality institution is all but dead. Flip side is we're getting some genuinely decent horror these days and we're getting more high concept films for the people bored of capeshit and remakes.
>>87313338
wasn't the only animatronic that dying dinosaur where they tried to ape the tricerotops scene from the first film but failed miserably? They didn't even us animatronics/puppets for the raptor heads when they were penned up. Laughable.

That was inexcusable. A movie made almost 25 years ago looks better than Jurassic World.

One of the best opening scenes ever. Wonderfully atmospheric (something that Jurassic World lacks completely).
