Jurassic Park https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e7/Jurassic_Park_poster.jpg Dir: Steven Spielberg Genre: Science Fiction, Adventure Year: 1993 I think each generation probably has one blockbuster that completely shattered their expectations about what cinema can do, particularly from a special effects perspective. My parents had Star Wars. I guess this current generation has...Avengers (?). Well, for me and my peers, there was one movie that made us all collectively lose our 5-year-old shit: Jurassic Park. I challenge you all to watch at least a scene or two from Jurassic Park now and then to watch a scene or two of another high-budget special effects-driven movie from 5 years ago. I can guarantee that Jurassic Park will look better. And it's over 25 years old. Needless to say, this movie made every kid in the 90s a dinosaur fan and probably inspired thousands of people to study filmmaking. But that's not just because it looks great--it also has a very solid story, incredible tension, and that classic Spielbergian touch. Jurassic Park capped off an incredible run for Spielberg that began with Jaws in the 1970s. Others are probably better equipped to posit why, but there is just a sense that this was the last of his blockbusters that had that mystique to them--that sense of something groundbreaking brought to life by a movie magician at the height of his genius. It truly was the end of era, but it went out in epic fashion. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:923777736] in The SephG ...
